THE REAL BUBBLE?
SLIDE 31 THE CURRENT BULL MARKET IS OLD BY HISTORICAL STANDARDS BUT INVESTORS ARE NOT OVERLY ENTHUSIASTIC. SINCE 2009 $800B HAS COME OUT OF EQUITY FUNDS AND $1.5T HAS GONE TO BOND FUNDS FEAR OF SLOW GROWTH HAS CAUSED TREPIDATION BUT 2017 GLOBAL GROWTH IS PROJECTED TO BE FRACTIONALLY BELOW THE LONG TERM AVERAGE. VALUATIONS ARE HISTORICALLY ABOVE AVERAGE BUT CAN STAY ELEVATED AND EVEN GO HIGHER. POLITICAL EVENTS LIKE TAX REFORM (OR NOT), ELECTIONS, FISCAL CLIFF, BREXIT, GREXIT
- ETC. USUALLY ARE A SOURCE OF VARIABILITY BUT USUALLY DO NOT END CYCLES.
AT SOME POINT AN EVENT WILL END THE MARKET’S RUN BUT THESE ARE ALWAYS A SURPRISE AND NEVER PREDICTED IN ADVANCE.
THE WEIGHT OF OF THE EVID VIDENCE SU SUPP PPORTS A A BULL LL CAS ASE FOR OR EQUITIES.
