Key Quotes
“Health Care and Tech – which represent more than one-third of the S&P 500 – are why we are reasonably bullish for 2016, while Energy and Industrials remain a significant concern. Most of the rest of the market, both the S&P and the Russell 2000, seems fully valued except a few big Banks, Utilities, Airlines, and some of our specific stock picks. We do not believe that a recession looms or that S&P profits will fall again in 2016.”
“We also do not expect the S&P will suffer a bear market or a sharp correction. But there are a number of key risks for equities: any further dollar gains must be slow, wage gains must be accompanied by better productivity, and the rise in yields as the Fed hikes must be gradual and contained.”
