Opinions mixed, but caution wise
There has been lots of commentary on whether we’re in a correction or the start of a bear market. Those who advocate buying on dips are touting this as a great opportunity to load up with undervalued stock. Ken Fisher believes that rates will have to ramp up a lot more to kill the bull market.
But as Barry Ritholtz notes Mark Hulbert has outlined a simple market-timing system that is very bearish. What’s certain is that in this market growth investors, particularly momentum/CANSLIM and aggressive growth types, will struggle. It’s comforting to know that if the market turns there is plenty of time to hop on board the new trend. Bull market correction or bear market, the signals indicate a cautious stance should be taken.
