Let’s start off the year asking the hard questions!
That’s exactly what I did in a recent webinar with clients. Here are some highlights.
First, when will the market crash?
- Maybe never…I do not expect politicians will allow the market to crash.
- The market is quite overvalued and due for a correction.
- Politicians will do everything in their power to kick the can down the road; so that the much-needed market correction happens when someone else is in office.
Second, if the market does crash, how do investors prepare themselves?
- Avoid the worst stocks.
- Invest in the best stocks.
- I explain how to find the best and avoid the worst stocks.
The bottom line is that investors should use the best research they can find in both good and bad markets.
As countless studies have shown, investors cannot trust Wall Street research no matter how fancy they seem to be or how great they claim they are.
If you’re not doing the work to scrub the numbers and get the research right, then you can't trust the results. If you can't trust the results, then you shouldn’t use them.
Look, all the Wall Street research looks good when markets only go up. Diligence does not matter when everything goes up. But, stocks can’t go up forever.
