Greg Newman's Top Picks: November 28, 2022
Greg Newman, senior wealth advisor and portfolio manager, Newman Group, ScotiaMcLeod
FOCUS: North American stocks and portfolio protection strategies
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. However, if earnings are set to decline or costs rise due to inflation or a higher cost of capital, it can be misleading.
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.
In the meantime, after several years, cash and bonds look quite attractive.
