Key Points

  • Recommends rotating into value, cyclical, mid-cap, small-cap, and international stocks, moving away from the S&P 500 index.
  • Cites improving manufacturing and housing data, with 70% of US regional and national services and manufacturing PMIs now in expansion.
  • Notes strong S&P 500 Q4 earnings (up 13.3% from last year) and revenues (up 8.9% from last year), exceeding estimates.
  • Believes midterm elections are bullish for the market and a potential new Fed chair (Warsh) is unlikely to halt the cyclical upturn.
