MARKET OUTLOOK:
The bears believe that the regional banking crisis, inverted yield curve, sticky inflation and an anemic Chinese recovery means that the economy is on the precipice of a recession. Yet, analyst earning expectations and a healthy job market suggest otherwise. There are many good places to put money to work in equities, but bonds and cash also pay very well. Markets are ambiguous at the best of times, but given this degree of uncertainty, a healthy amount of both offence and defence is prudent. Stay on or near your asset allocation.
