I've said the same thing Many times about stocks I owned, esp. last year when the "value" stocks I had were posting unbelievable numbers with absurd low valuations and no one cared. Still, any new recommendations are very welcome. The Individual Investor ranking is nice too. What over rides everything now in my judgment, is a hostile Fed, and a hostile Justice Dept. seemingly hell bent on trying to monkey with the good economy instead of just leaving well enough alone. The S&p and now the nasdaq have had very sizeable corrections now in a number of their issues. It is said that the market (and the bond market) tend to predict the economy 6 months or so out. If that is the case, a slow down is in the offing, and if the Fed and gang does not watch it, they could really induce a serious market event and deep recession. In that scenario, all bets are off, and business strategies will have to be revised. Nearer term, after the earnings season is over, what will the market have to look forward to? The next Fed hike. If there is a still a lot of market complacency, things could even get a bit uglier. Pareto- thanks for your thoughts, I always look forward to reading your posts. I like the comment about growing into the valuations. (If the economy slips thanks to our friends, it could take a lot longer though as growth rates may slow)
