The great Peter Lynch once said, “The real key to making money in stocks is not to get scared out of them.” Hedge fund traders can be frightening as they move rapidly and often in tandem but most importantly, they are fickle. The sell-off in software stocks is the most recent example. But I have been saying for years that these companies are the new defensives, observes Nancy Tengler, CIO at Laffer Tengler Investments.
The theme so far for Q1 earnings is “beat on profit, slowing revenue, and reduced guidance.” The industrials so far have been disappointing, which is consistent with a slowing economy and a soft landing, writes Nancy Tengler, CIO at Laffer Tengler Investments.
Does this Bull have room to run? If you watch too much financial news like I do, you may be concerned that the market has run too far, too fast and that valuations (particularly tech) are stretched. The market is always climbing a wall of worry which means there is always a bear case to be made. But bull markets can run for a long time – and this one is relatively young, advises Nancy Tengler, CIO at Laffer Tengler Investments.

Then put the guidance you receive to work in your portfolio in 2024.
