CHART OF THE DAY: Beating Beta (It Isn't Easy, But It Is Achievable) $SPY $TLT - 03.02.15 chart

This is an excerpt from today's Morning Newsletter written by Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough.

Beating beta isn’t easy, but it is achievable. Full loaded with the February v-bottom US stocks put in after a terrible January, neither the Dow nor the SP500 (+1.7% and +2.2% YTD, respectively) are beating the Long Bond (TLT total return +3.3% YTD).

 

But that’s not new either. As you can see in the Chart of The Day, the Long Bond (TLT) has been beating CNBC’s core advertising quote (SP500) handily ever since both growth and inflation started slowing at the beginning of 2014.
