| 0:00.0 | Today's animal spirits is brought to you by Y-charts Michael just yesterday. I was using the Y-charts |
| 0:05.2 | comp tables. I mentioned this before. So this is where you can pull up an index or a group of stocks |
| 0:11.3 | and you can break them down by characteristic. So I just pulled up the Russell 3000, which is basically |
| 0:15.9 | the total US stock market from this year. And I wanted to see what the year-to-date returns were |
| 0:19.8 | because I was looking at some stocks that are just gotten hammered this year. Here's what I found. |
| 0:23.6 | One out of every six stocks in the US stock market is down 50% or worse this year. So this is not |
| 0:28.5 | like all-time highs because a lot of these stocks peaked last year. This is just this year alone. |
| 0:32.8 | One out of every four stocks is down 40% or worse. Alternatively, one out of every four stocks is also |
| 0:38.0 | positive on the year. 25% of stocks are positive this year, 75% are down. That's actually higher than I |
| 0:43.6 | would have thought. What do you think? 25% of stocks up this year? Well, energy, healthcare, |
| 0:48.8 | what else is on the list? That was pretty much it. Year-to-day return is negative 16%. I also found, |
| 0:54.4 | I think it was something like 10% of stocks were down 60% of worse. It's a really high number. |
| 0:59.9 | It's a huge, huge wide range of outcomes this year is what I'm saying. We're getting to the end |
| 1:04.3 | where we get to do a little mental reset. I'm preparing myself for year-end pieces and lessons learned. |
| 1:10.6 | It's coming. If you want to learn more about Y charts, they were still kind enough to give |
| 1:15.2 | a hundred of our listeners free access to their professional platform until December 16th. |
| 1:18.8 | Wait a hundred people haven't grabbed that yet? I'm insulted. Maybe they have. I don't know. |
| 1:24.4 | I'm just throwing it out there. Click on the link just in case. You can't confirm that it hasn't |
| 1:27.7 | been filled up. I can't confirm more than I. I don't know. I didn't ask them. Anyway, go to Y charts.com. |
