Deep dives
The market has shown resilience despite various challenges
Despite elevated inflation, aggressive rate hikes, bankruptcies, potential banking crises, and concerns about loans, the market has remained resilient and has overcome these challenges.
Opportunities lie in smaller stocks and laggard sectors
Smaller stocks and sectors like healthcare and consumer staples present opportunities for investors, particularly in terms of valuations and potential growth.
Caution advised on heavily-weighted tech stocks
While tech stocks have performed well, caution is advised due to their high valuations and concentration risks. Buying such stocks in large amounts may not be feasible for fiduciaries.
Unknown external shocks remain a concern
Given the current below-trendline growth, the market remains susceptible to unknown external shocks. It is difficult to predict these shocks, and investors should be mindful of potential risks.
