Our Playbook • More volatility ahead. Make changes accordingly. • No meaningful amount of cash needed in the next 5 to 7 years should ever be in the equity market. • No more Rate hikes in 2019(most likely) • Trade tensions are still a wild card – but improving. • Global growth – especially China – may be re-accelerating. • If (reduced) earnings estimates are correct for 2019, S&P 500 valuations are 16.4x earnings – in line with the 30 yr avg. • Emerging markets are cheap compared to U.S. assets. (Twice the growth rate, 47% cheaper) • U.S. Small and Mid Caps are cheap compared to Large Cap stocks. (More growth, lower valuations) • Own individual bonds rather than bond funds if possible.
