The Bull Market in Stocks is Back! By Adam Khoo
507 segments
hi this Erin ku here on the 10th of
April Good Friday and I've got pretty
tragic news there's been a death with
someone that we all know intimately
really well and the death is the bad
that's right the bad market is
officially dead but the good news is the
bull market is back so let's take a look
at a chance to really understand what's
going on
all right so over here we have the S&P
500 index and a bull market is defined
as a drop 20% or more from the higher
the market so the high of the market at
the beginning of the year was 3 3 9 3
and we dropped into a bear market over
here this is the 20% mark so he went
from the top of the market or bear
market and it took 16 days it was off
the fastest in history for Bhumika to
turn into a bear market and he went in
fact all the way down to a lot to 191
and that was a 36 percent decline from
the high and as I mentioned before if
you look at all the bear markets in the
last 100 years the average decline of
the 21 bear markets in last hundred
years was actually - 36 percent so it
was pretty coincidental ok now a bull
market is defined as a rise of 20% from
the law of the market so from this low
of 2 on line 1 if you take 20% it's 2 6
3 0 this is the 20% increase from the
mode so you can see that the market has
just crossed that level which means
officially a booming market has begun
and then by a bear market lasted only 90
days it was one of the fastest bear
markets in the history of the world in
fact I turn bullish on the markets way
before that happen in fact I went
bullish on the markets and started to
buy stocks and take on bullish trades
over here on the 3rd of April
why because I saw
bullish engulfing pattern making higher
low from the previous low so when I see
higher loss and see a bullish engulfing
pattern I turn bullish in the markets
and for my students I'm buying stocks
right now in fact if you take a look at
my private telegram chat group with my
students this was back on the 3rd of
April as you can see over there right
and my message to my students was yes
the bullish engulfing pattern on the
espy sentiment has turned bullish I'm
starting to buy stocks right now
now many people were surprised that the
bear mark and the sofa they said how to
the bear market and the economy still in
tatters right people are still dying
people losing jobs how can this be I was
not surprised because if you are one of
my students you have seen the signal
that the market has actually hit a bear
market bottom the signal that the bear
market was dead and I can share view
what are these signals that I look at so
for future bear markets you can look at
these signals yourself so what are the
30 warning signs that the bear market
comes to an end so what are the early
warning signs of a bear market ending
well therefore things have looked at for
the last 20 years and they've proven
very reliable even for today's bear
market so what are the four things the
first thing is I noticed that bear
markets that the bottom when one with
extreme volatility as well as extreme
oversold conditions I'm gonna show that
to you in a chinois what that means
right number two is when we have got
peak levels of unemployment that's right
you heard me right when unemployment
hits a peak usually it signals the end
of the bear market next when the market
rallies in the face of bad news and the
fourth thing I look at is when the S&P
500 didn't yield exceeds the yield on
the third year Treasury bonds these are
the four leading indicators but bear
market bottom so let's look at the first
one right now one of the most powerful
signals that the bear market is born is
when I see
stream volatility and this is measured
using ATR Average True Range when you've
got big 80 hours it signals a bear
market bottom if it coincides with
extreme all the sub conditions now I
have actually taught this in my previous
video which you must watch where I show
you basically the last 50 years how
accurate this signal has been so I will
get to indicate this if you remember to
my previous video do watch it I look at
what is known as the normalized ATR or
Average True Range as well as the
Williams percentage are that measures
other soul conditions at the 52-week
level alright so basically what am I
looking at when the ATR is above 80
right this that 80 level is dotted line
and if the Williams R is below minus 80
and they both happen at the same time is
the signal of a market bottom and they
must both happen in the same time right
so you can see over here this ATR
crosses above 80 and the Williams R goes
below minus 80 right so when they both
happen that signals the bottom over
there that's how I could tell now if you
go back again 50 years this signal has
been very reliable I've shown that my
previous video to watch that can see
last year we had a 2018 bottom same
thing we lives are below minus 80
coincided with ATR above 80 so when I
think are the two signals together boom
that's a bottom that's a bottom right
and again can go back so that was the
first sign of the market bottom now the
second sign of a bear market bottom is
when unemployment in the US hits peak
levels that's right you heard me right
when you've got massive unemployment
people out of jobs that's the time the
market has bottomed and there's the time
to buy stocks and it's us be content
uted people always think hey I should
buy stocks when they
are going well when people are fully
employed wrong the time to buy stocks is
at the bottom and death - massive
unemployment say if you look at this
chart over here and you see what I'm
talking about now over here you can see
this blue line this represents the stock
market the spot price okay that's the
blue line going up this black line going
up and down represents unemployment
claims or jobless claim benefits okay
now check something out notice that when
unemployment claims go up and is walk
back unemployed right like over here you
can see this is the four hundred and
fifty thousand mark of people who are
unemployed okay
and notice whenever the unemployment
goes above this level it signals a
bottom in the stock market the market
bottoms that's when you buy to catch the
next blue market can you see that over
here same thing when unemployment goes
up above this mark over here it signals
the end of the stock market bottom and
time to buy to catch the next boom
market right over here the same thing
note this over here again you can see
unemployment going up to 450 thousand
that signals the bottom of the bull
markets or the bear market to buy to
questionings bull market right
it sounds weird but that's how it works
so where are we now in terms of the
unemployment claims in the market well
check it out
currently right the US jobless claims
have hit six point six million six point
six million people are out of a job now
that is terrible that is really really
awful I wish that it did not happen but
the point is from the perspective of
investing that's when it's time to buy
stocks because it tells us that when
unemployment like look at this whenever
unemployment really flies really high
right it climbs really high amongst the
bottom of the bear market okay now the
next chart shows you the same thing you
can see over here
this red line represents the stock
market okay and the blue line represents
the unemployment rate how many people
are unemployed in the u.s. now look at
the 6% ma notice whenever the
unemployment rate goes above 6% what
happens market bottom time to buy right
goes above 6% market bottom right ghost
above 6% game market bottom goes above
6% again market bottom above 6 the same
market bottom so we're in the
unemployment rate goes above 60% 6%
right is the ball of the market come to
buy stocks to catch the bull market now
where's the unemployment rate right now
it is now at a whopping my god 14%
I am unemployment rate in the u.s. right
now there's no people unemployed
so that is the highest spike in
unemployment that again reverses to
muddy bottom of the stock market which I
always counted you did buy that's how
the market works all right so far we
have the first 2 signals right extreme
volatility extreme initial conditions
we've got peak levels of unemployment
and the third signal is the market
bottoms when it starts rarely on bad
news that's right see bear markets die
on bad news not on good news in other
words whenever you see a lot of bad news
in the media but the market no longer
goes down it starts going up it tells
you that the market is falling because
there are no more sellers left everyone
who has needed to sell has already sold
and that's a sign of capitulation so for
example take a look at this this was
back on the 5th of April and yeah this
was the 5th and 6th of April look at the
news in the media us reports highest
single day death since the outbreak so
that's terrible news but what happens
the market goes up us we leave jobless
claims double to 6
six million people bad news market goes
up so when the market starts going up on
bad news it means it's over
right nothing else can make the market
go down because the worst news has been
priced into the market fourth condition
I'm looking at is when the SMP 500
dividend yield exceeds the yield of 30th
Treasury bonds
you see historically when you buy
government bonds they are safer so they
should give you higher yields on
interest interest rate yields higher
than a stock market which is the S&P 500
that should happen logically right now
whenever the S&P 500 the stock market
gives you higher dividend yields
compared to bond yields that signals
that a market is bothered because that
means that stocks are cheaper than bonds
stocks are under them and bonds are over
them so this triggers a flow of funds
from big institutions from bonds to
stops hence creating the next bull
market so we take take a look at this
chart you can see from 1977 to 2019
there's only been two times when the
30th Treasury year which is the red line
has gone below the S&P 500 dividend
yield it happened here at the bottom of
the financial crisis that triggered the
bull run after the financial crisis and
it also happened briefly during the
breads in you know when breaks it was
announced and now it is happening again
let's check it out you can see right now
that the u.s. 30th Treasury rate is one
point three five percent so by third
year government bonds you're getting one
point three five percent return on your
money but the SMP 500 is offering a
yield of two point three one percent so
this exceeds this signals that spots are
really cheap they are the border and the
triggering the next boom market easy as
pie
now whenever I tell people that the
stock markets in a new bull market you
know a lot of people say how can it be
the economy is in a recession or going
into recession or going to in fact the
depression where it's gonna be more job
losses more business losses things are
gonna get worse
you know what I completely agree the
economy is going to get worse we are
going to go into a depression I agree
that but understand that the stock
market is not the economy that's the
mistake people make see the stock market
is a leading indicator of the economy
the stock market moves six to nine
months ahead of the economy because the
stock market doesn't care what's
happening now or what's happening next
week or next month the stock market
cares was happening in six to nine
months so even though we're in a
recession right now but the stock market
is already pricing in the recovery take
a look at is really nice chart by sense
- well and you can see for example this
red line represents the stock market
right so that's the one in red the one
in green represents the economy so you
can see that when the stock market is at
the bottom right the markets that a
bottom what's happening to the economy
that's why the economy is in a recession
so the time to buy stocks at the bottom
of the market is when we are in a
recession which is now in a recession
right now the trouble is a lot of people
say hey I'm gonna buy stocks when the
economy recovers when the pendulum is
over now what happens once the economy
fully recovers when the economy recovers
what is happening you are actually
buying at the top of the market and
that's why most retail investors when
they see the economy doing well they buy
stocks what happens
stocks go down but professional
investors we buy when the economy is in
recession because when you Kaunas the
recession and we buy a bind
bottom so we catch the best price and
write the bull market all the way up now
you take a look at the news headlines of
the past week what do you see right on
the 26th of March it says you know
jobless claims saw to 3 million a record
high 30 of a march coronavirus job
losses could total 47 million pushing
unemployment rate to 32% 6th of April
Janet Yellen the last fetch and person
she said second quarter GDP could
decline by 30 percent with unemployment
already at 12 to 13 percent so these are
all very bad economic news what do you
think the typical retail investor does
we need we call these news that's right
they will sell they will sell their
stock which is the most stupid thing you
can ever do what do professional
investors do professional investors when
we see all these bad economic news we
buy because it is a sign that the market
has bottomed I told you you buy on bad
news check this out look at this chart
over here again look at the numbers 26
March 30th March and 6 of April if you
look at the SMP 500 you can see all the
26 of March bad economic news market
goes up 30 up of much bad economic news
market goes up 6 of April their
increment news market goes up market
goes up where the economy is bad why
because the stock market moves 6 to 9
months a hit on the economy thus pocket
is not the economy and that's why you
can see that you know in my telegram
chat rooms whenever I buy stocks I tell
my students right for example to get
25th of March I said I just added
MasterCard at 236 dollars and 40 cents
and I never st lauda at 1:58 and this
was on a 25th of March over here I
started to buy stocks the moment I saw a
change in the market trend on the 26th
of March editing uninsurance
at 75
is a Hong Kong spot which I bought as
well on the federal match ed at Facebook
at 1:59 so you can see over here I
started buying more Facebook shares on
the 30th of March I said adding Bank of
America at 22 $21 right on the 30th of
March again I'm adding a SHR that's a
Chinese ETF at 25 cent entry so you can
see well because reading all the bad
news and the selling professional
invests like me I'm buying like crazy
and that is the difference between a
retail investor and a professional
investor and sure enough what happens
after I buy then you read this news in
the media hey stock market life updates
Dow jumps 5 her points up 30 percent on
the week 9 of April Nasdaq says blue
market begins start a new bamboo market
right so that's why the retail investor
always can always get screwed because
they read the bad news they sell stocks
and the moment itself stops the media
that tells you is a bull market and
you're screwed so never never make
decisions based on reading the
mainstream news blindly always take a
look at the price action of the market
and the intrinsic value of the stocks
you buy and learn how to use the
indicators which have been talking about
in my videos so by being able to add
more shares and very undervalued prices
in a bottom I'm able to cushion the blow
to my portfolio so you can see this one
of the portfolios that I have and yeah
my portfolio is still down for the year
there are in fact my portfolio started
at about $900,000 and big earlier and
right now is at eight hundred forty-one
thousand so it's still below the top of
the year right because as you can see
that we have not fully recovered back to
the high okay and and that is why like I
said because of that my
folio is still you know down from
$900,000 right now is when he beat her
at 41,000 dogs but when the market
eventually recovers back to the high and
beyond the high then you know this
economy way more than a million dollars
right but despite that you can see that
most of the stocks that I have my
portfolio
they have unrealized profits they are
profitable they are but what they're
green right because I added more shares
and very very discounted price that's
the key to it now let me just say also
that important disclaimer
just because we're at the beginning of a
new bull market doesn't guarantee that
we're going to go all the way to the top
right away or beyond that right away
because no one can predict how long this
ballpark is gonna last
is it possible that the bed could come
back for a rematch and get another bear
market really fast sure anything's
possible that's why it's an investor you
always buy in stages your is average
into the markets never buy at one time
so I don't buy at one time i buy shares
consistently so that even if the market
goes down again and becomes more
undervalued again I'll just buy more
shares because I know in the long run if
I might great companies at huge
discounts it will always go higher and
I'm settled in six months and a year or
two years my wealth of multiplying many
many fool

This video discusses how the market has shifted from a bear to a bull market, despite ongoing economic challenges like recession and unemployment. Adam Khoo explains that the stock market is a leading indicator that prices in future recovery, and he details four key signals he uses to identify market bottoms: extreme volatility combined with oversold conditions, peak unemployment levels, market rallies in the face of bad news, and the point at which S&P 500 dividend yields exceed Treasury bond yields.
