The North American equity markets at present closely resemble the patterns established during the 2000-02 bear market in the aftermath of the Internet bubble. In both cases an extremely expensive market has been badly affected by sharply rising interest rates leading to an initial bear market as price/earnings multiples contracted, as happened last year. Now an inverted yield curve is forecasting a recession, which means earnings are likely to fall leading to a second leg down, meaning investors should focus on defensive sectors with reasonable valuations.


While many commentators are asserting that the coronavirus pandemic has changed everything, and that the trends which characterized most of 2020 will continue in 2021, the situation appears most similar to the end of the technology bubble in 1999-2000. Then too, confident assertions were made that Its different this time, that valuations were irrelevant, and that old economy stocks and sectors such as energy, industrials, materials, and financials were permanently dead and buried. Events proved this view to be mistaken, and the Noughties decade saw out-performance of value against growth and old economy against technology and new wave stocks. Reversion to the mean is one of the most fundamental of investment doctrines. One suspects it will prove itself to be so again this year and for the foreseeable future.
