Predicting recessions with yield curve inversion

[🏰 TradeFortress 🏰]

The yield curve inversion is probably the most watched indicator in the US economy now, and that makes me curious if plans to market time their entry / exit into the stock market based on this figure.

I was able to make a simple model in Google Spreadsheets that exits the stock market completely when the minimum T10Y2Y of months T9-T21 is less than -0.2%, and that would have successfully avoided every recession with a re-entry position around the bottom.

Obviously, those are very backtested results and I optimised the parameters based on the past recessions, and the big question is if the future will hold the same. I'm curious if there is anyone out there thinking of exiting the stock market, about 9 months after the yield curve inverts and getting back in 21 months later?

It sounds like a self-fulfilling prophecy if a large number of market participants believe it and start selling. And it's not just the inversion, the interest rates going up in general make bonds more attractive so possibly less money going into stocks.

I'm not planning to exit (because taxes and AGI) but have stopped putting new money in. Not based on any data, just a gut feeling on where the economy is going.

I believe that the current fiat monetary system is coming to the end of its life cycle. This could be the cause of an inversion of the yield curve. If an efficient and stable alternative is created, then it could lead to a period of economic growth, but it is also likely to trigger a substantial transfer of capital away from the current banking elite.

This metric (shape of the yield curve) only mattered when a functional market actually existed.

What if the QE tapering causes a serious crash in equities, and the Federal Reserve respond by propping it all up again? All they have to do is simply underwrite everything they need to so that the system continues to tick away. 2008 proved that the extent of corruption in the financial system was so prevalent and so severe that more or less everyone needed to be bailed out. That means that there should exist now zero discipline in the behaviour of the financial market big players and zero belief in any consequences for that. Where's the incentive to care about the FRN yield curve, when you know you can keep borrowing money for nothing and spending it on your own stock price? There's nothing stopping the Fed from manipulating the bond market too, why does it even matter?

To me, the commodity markets are the key to the bubble bursting. Despite hundreds of % inflation of the money supply, everyday living has been shielded from corresponding inflation. That can't last, as soon as the rest of market runs out of real assets to buy up, demand has to find somewhere else to go. Obviously there's been some general inflation (and it's been masked in the official numbers of course), but not multiple hundereds of %. At some point, it's going to suddenly go crazy.
