Dear Subscribers,
The stocks of the Dow Industrial Average are now paying a higher yield than 10 year Treasuries. On the one hand, that is a sign of investor anxiety. But it is also a sign of compelling value in stocks. The last time we were at the level was in early 2009 just before the market bottomed. What does it mean this time around? In the short run, it probably means more volatility and more potential for downside as many investors are running scared. In the long run, I think the attractive relative value of stocks will win out and start to rise again. Play your hand accordingly.
