Stocks Are Relatively High Compared To The Fundamentals

“This year, investors will never achieve returns as high as in 2009. Stocks are relatively high compared to the fundamentals.

Financials have already been quite weak. It’s kind of a warning sign for the market. They may weaken further, especially the banks. Also commodities-related stocks could weaken somewhat as commodity prices ease.

Usually March, April are seasonally strong months. We’ll get a rebound. In general, high-quality and large market capitalization stocks are reasonably priced considering you have zero interest-rates. As these markets go down, the high-quality, large-market-cap stocks will go down less than the smaller-cap stocks.”
