In our most recent webinar titled, “Pre-Election Positioning”, we review where some of our key indicators stand leading into the election and what the election could mean for the markets. Here are the key takeaways:
- Global recession likely ended this summer, but COVID-19 spread continues without approved vaccine or readily available therapies.
- Massive money printing by the Fed and fiscal stimulus has helped the recovery (especially in asset prices) but could cause issues down the road.
- FANMAG & Nasdaq 100 stocks got overvalued while other equities look expensive due to lack of earnings, prompting Stratos Private Wealth to cut exposure in early September.
- Election uncertainty could be catalyst for market pull back in a variety of scenarios.
- We review those scenarios and explain our outlook for the rest of 2020.
