Jon Wolfenbarger thinks stock-market investors are still too optimistic that a bear market bottom is coming sometime in the immediate-to-near future. When bear markets occur when valuations are relatively high, the bear markets tend to drag on longer. The median bear market length during periods of high valuation among those listed above is 17 months, Wolfenbarger said, compared to 13 months when valuations are attractive. Given that the current market sell-off began amid some of the highest valuations in history, Wolfenbarger said he expects the bear market to last 17 months or longer. Wolfenbarger's views in contextIn June, Societe Generale conducted a similar analysis to Wolfenbarger's and looked at bear markets over the last 150 years.

Bond yields are at their highest levels in years. The result has been nothing but pain for stock and bond prices since the start of the year. Another reason is because in a recessionary environment, bond prices typically rise as investors pile into safe-haven assets like Treasurys. "Bond investors are facing a unique win-win scenario right now," Saperstein said in an October memo. He continued: "If inflation and rates continue to rise, bond prices will decline but unrealized price losses can be meaningfully offset by locked-in 4-6% income returns.

Amid the tough backdrop, Minerd shared two areas where he thinks investors can find return. "That's a much better place to go with your money than the stock market," Minerd said. "If you look at defense stocks year-to-date, they're generally high. And so I think there's a lot more upside in defense stocks, both relatively in the short run and in the next five years."

The Federal Reserve's moves to curb inflation will not end well for some investors, Scott Minerd of Guggenheim Partners said Monday. Minerd told CNBC's " The Exchange " that the Fed may "overdo it" when it comes to efforts to mitigate inflationary pressures through rate hikes. The result, he said, would be a tough period for investors with long-risk assets. He also noted that the stock market has never bottomed while the Fed was in a rate-hiking cycle. Minerd's comments come ahead of a key Fed meeting this week in which the central bank is largely expected to raise rates by 75 basis points, or 0.75 percentage point.
