This Secret Reveals the Next Market Rally Earlier this week, the credit rating on U.S. government debt was downgraded, a rare occurrence on Wall Street. The reasons behind the downgrade werenât surprising â massive debt⦠rising interest rates⦠turmoil in Congress. The thing is, thereâs a tightly-kept secret about these downgrades that can help you capture enormous profits in the stock market. Curious? Letâs dive into the details⦠The Importance of Third Parties To start, letâs look at the market for debt and the role its credit rating plays. Perhaps surprisingly, corporate debt is a $10 trillion market. Itâs massive. And within this market is a need for a third party to independently assess the value of this debt. Itâs similar to the way any market has third-party evaluators. Appraisers, for instance, determine the value of collectibles like comic books and baseball cards. And a company like Kelly Blue Book determines the value of used cars. But in the world of corporate debt, valuing this debt falls onto the shoulders of credit-rating agencies, including a company called Moodyâs. Why Moodyâs Matters Moodyâs role is fairly simple. It assesses a companyâs debt and assigns it a certain value based mostly on how risky this debt is to carry. To companies holding this debt, this valuation matters. It can have a direct impact on its earnings. It also matters for institutional investors, particularly those who invest in corporate debt. After all, to have the best chance at making money, these investors will only look at high-quality debt. The thing is, Moodyâs valuations also matter to everyday investors like you. Let me explain⦠A Proven History Take a look at this chart: This is a 25-year snapshot â 1995 to 2020 â comparing the S&P 500âs performance (in black) with the timing of corporate-debt downgrades (in blue). Notice how each time corporate downgrades peak, the stock market rallies almost immediately afterwards. In other words, downgrades peaking is a signal to buy, buy, buy. Thatâs the secret thatâs been essentially hiding in plain sight. But back to Moodyâs for a moment⦠Walking a Tightrope Companies want to pay as little as they can on their debt. So theyâre going to shop around for the best ratings. Keep in mind that Moodyâs may be independent, but itâs also a business. It makes money by attaching itself to these debt valuations. And the last thing it wants to do is bite the hand that feeds it. At the same time, Moodyâs might have to downgrade a companyâs debt in order to remain an honest broker. In essence, Moodyâs must walk a tightrope of keeping its clients happy, while remaining a reputable business⦠And thatâs exactly why this credit-rating agency will always be the last to issue changes in corporate-debt ratings. Leading the Charge You see, Moodyâs isnât out to make headlines. Itâs not out to drop an information bomb on the investment world. It waits until the last possible moment to make changes â again, itâs walking a tightrope. But while these changes are lagging in a market for investments like bonds, theyâre typically leading the charge in the stock market. Thatâs evident with the chart I showed you above. And now Moodyâs has downgraded corporate debt once again⦠Meaning a stock-market rally is about to kick off. When? The question is: When will it happen? Iâve been adamant that 2024 will be the âYear of the Bull.â And Iâm sticking with that forecast. Moodyâs debt downgrade is another example that aligns with my prediction. And if youâre a Moneyball Pro subscriber, Iâll show you exactly how to get ready for it. Weâre in it to win it. Zatlin out. FOR MONEYBALL PRO READERS ONLY
