Zooming to Booming
The economy, now booming thanks to massive government stimulus and zero interest rates, should accelerate further in the near term as pent-up demand is unleashed. There are notable concerns which could cause the markets to ebb—especially since stocks in general are priced for perfection.
ViacomSeeBS
The rise and fall of ViacomCBS has been more fascinating to watch than most of their TV shows. ViacomCBS’ wild ride ended like many past examples of extreme speculation. Starting with a real story—the successful rollout of its various streaming platforms, accelerated by the COVID-19 global lockdown—with greed and reckless speculation taking over to catapult its price well beyond fair value. The final act, of course, was the implosion.
Yield Curve Catching Up
The steepening curve and shift from technology and momentum stocks to financials and cyclicals should offer increased confidence in the economic outlook. Put simply, the yield curve is playing catch up to the mounting evidence that the recovery is on more solid footing.
Spectate or Speculate
Investors should not take either of these extreme stances. Without a crystal ball, it’s extraordinarily difficult to time tops or bottoms. Speculation is accompanied by too much risk— outsized declines can arrive at any time. Sitting in cash and waiting for a better entry point can have the opposite effect as business valuations generally ascend with the march of time—so most returns are made from being fully invested to benefit from the lift in underlying security values.
