The Dash for Trash
In this week’s edition of the LifePro Asset Management Market & Portfolio Review, our head of Wealth Management, Robert Reaburn, reviews the recent rotation away from durable growth stock and into stocks with broken business models. More importantly, we will discuss the dangers of trying to pick the bottom on broken businesses and why staying focused on high quality businesses that are good, and getting better, can position clients for durable long-term growth.
Robert also reviews the evolving economic growth picture in the U.S. and what that means for portfolio positioning as we look to close out 2019. Additionally, we will examine the U.S. consumer, and what the current trends in job growth, compensation, and perceived job security tell us about the propensity of the U.S. consumer to increase their level of spending as we head into the holiday shopping season.
We also review the recent steepening of the yield curve, why it’s happening and what it says about possible adjustments to economic forecasts by Wall Street economists over the next few weeks. Lastly, we review the level of liquidity in the credit markets, the expansion of the Federal Reserve balance sheet, and the impact that an increased level of money supply may have on risk appetite moving forward.
