MARKET OUTLOOK:
We all know that if you miss the first 20 days of the next bull market historically you miss a lot of the gain.
We also know that those rallies usually begin at very counterintuitive times.
So at some point having too little equity exposure becomes a dangerous thing.
Many names look very cheap now.
But if earnings are set to decline or costs are set to go up due to inflation, or a higher cost of capital, a low valuation can be fleeting.
Either way, investors can be encouraged that we are already through a good chunk of this downturn and that historically big opportunities are not far off.
