\u201cThis time it\u2019s different.\u201d These can be the four most dangerous words that any investor can utter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The phrase can trip up the unwary in myriad ways. \u201cThese valuations seem unsustainable,\u201d one might contend. Don\u2019t worry, this time it\u2019s different. \u201cThis technology has failed every time it\u2019s been tried before.\u201d No problem, this time it\u2019s different. Any of us can attempt to justify all sorts of wild schemes or nosebleed prices on the idea that they aren\u2019t subject to the norms that have applied before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here\u2019s the rub\u2014sometimes it really is different. Major turning points occur when there is a secular change in the economy\u2019s fortunes or a notable development that affects a company\u2019s long-term prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think back to early 2020. The global Covid-19 outbreak was indeed something different<\/a>, and markets fell precipitously. The massive monetary and fiscal stimuli that were offered in the crisis\u2019s wake were something different as well, causing asset prices to leap. Enormous opportunities were available to those investors who astutely recognized the seismic shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we acknowledge that monetary and fiscal stimuli were key factors in the great bull run of the past 18 months, how do we reckon with the possibility that both may be coming to an end? Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell recently acknowledged that the central bank would be tapering<\/a> its $120 billion monthly bond purchases \u201csoon\u201d and would likely end them completely in a matter of months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fed may be taking its foot off the monetary gas pedal, but it won\u2019t yet be tapping the brakes by raising interest rates. It isn\u2019t clear how markets will react to a less expansive monetary policy, even though one is likely to be upon us soon. Furthermore, investors appear uncomfortable with a Congress whose lack of progress on the debt ceiling<\/a>, budget reconciliation, and infrastructure bills have turned fiscal policy from an economic tailwind to a potential headwind. And, after a long absence, inflation seems to be rearing its ugly head<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should thus be no surprise, then, that volatility has returned<\/a> to major U.S. indexes. Uncertainty begets volatility. Volatility ebbed when it was clear that market-friendly policies were in place and pushed higher after the Fed\u2019s stance began to morph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of the past three weeks has featured at least two days with over 1% changes in the S&P 500 index<\/a> and at least one 2% decline in the Nasdaq 100<\/a>. When the S&P hit an all-time high on Sept. 2, its 10-day historical volatility was 8.09. On Oct. 5, just over a month later and after four sequential 1% up and down days, that measure had nearly doubled to 15.76.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While implied volatilities on S&P 500 options<\/a> have risen across the board, we recently noticed a significant change in the relative valuation of out-of-the-money options, or \u201cskew.\u201d Early this week, implied volatilities had risen most for options that are about 5% below market and barely budged for options that are 10% above market. This tells us that traders are focused on hedging a decline that would signify a normal correction and less eager to speculate on a significant short-term bounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Markets in general, and the options market in particular, are telling us that we should be concerned about how events could play out in the coming weeks. Contrarian traders who are risk-tolerant and well-capitalized could attempt to take advantage of the pricing disparity described above by selling put options to finance call-option purchases. But I would also suggest that investors consider whether their risk exposures are appropriate and use options to manage them in the face of a changing monetary policy and fiscal uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quite frankly, this time looks different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
