I struggled with whether or not I should even post this.  It is raw and ugly, but it might help somebody out there.   I might use this as a basis for some more gridSVG posts, but I do not think I have the motivation to finish the analysis.

Code:

require(latticeExtra)
require(quantmod)
require(PerformanceAnalytics)

getSymbols(“SP500″,src=”FRED”)
US10 <- na.omit(getSymbols("DGS10",src="FRED",auto.assign=FALSE))

stocksBonds <- na.omit(
  merge(
    lag(SP500,k=-100)/SP500-1,  #forward 100 day sp500 perf
    US10 / runMean(US10,n=250) – 1,       #us10 yield – 250 day average
    SP500
  )
)
#get the decade
stocksBonds$decade = as.numeric(substr(index(stocksBonds),1,3)) * 10
#name columns
colnames(stocksBonds) <- c("sp500","us10","SP500","decade")
#get a color ramp for our change in us10 year yields
linecolors <- colorRamp(
  c(“red”,”green”),
  interpolate=”linear”,
  space=”rgb”
)((stocksBonds[,2]+0.5))

xyplot(
  stocksBonds[,1],
  col=rgb(linecolors,max=255),
  type=”p”,pch=19,cex=0.5,
  main = “Stocks 100d Forward Performance”
)

xyplot(
  sp500 ~ us10 | factor(decade),
  groups = decade,
  data = as.data.frame(stocksBonds),
  pch=19,
  cex = 0.5,
  scales = list(
    x = list(tck=c(1,0),alternating=1)
  ),
  layout=c(6,1),
  main = “S&P 500 Forward Performance vs US 10y Change in Yields”,
  ylab = “S&P Forward Performance (100d)”,
  xlab = “US 10y Yields – 250d Avg”
) +
latticeExtra::layer(panel.abline(h=0,col=”gray”,lty=2)) +
latticeExtra::layer(panel.abline(v=0,col=”gray”,lty=2)) +
xyplot(
  sp500 ~ us10 | factor(decade),
  col=”gray”,
  data = as.data.frame(stocksBonds),
  panel = panel.lmline)

require(ggplot2)
ggplot(data = data.frame(stocksBonds), aes(y=sp500, x= us10,colour=decade))+
  geom_point()+facet_wrap(~decade,ncol=6)+geom_smooth()

charts.PerformanceSummary(
  merge(
    ROC(stocksBonds[,3],n=1,type=”discrete”),
    ROC(stocksBonds[,3],n=1,type=”discrete”) * (stocksBonds[,2]>0)
  ),
  main=”S&P 500 | if Bonds – Mean(250d) > 0″
)
