1. Following is our 2021 Equity Markets Preview and Best Ideas Lists going into the New Year.
2. All data below is for informational purposes only.
3. This technical outlook is based on current pricing and charts. Markets, trends and charts can change substantially over the course of the year, and often early in the year.
4. We are continuing to use a standard 15% stop level on any new positions, and 20% for more volatile ideas, which helps to limit downside risk.
5. Any ideas carry market risk, sector risk and single stock risk.
6. None of the ideas on this page have been screened for earnings reporting dates at all.
7. There is no representation made that any of these ideas will be profitable.
8. An asterisk indicates a higher volatility idea.
GENERAL OVERVIEW
- Global equity markets have been trending higher overall and have made new highs recently. For our time frame, this is constructive price action.
- We believe that markets are pricing in an economic and cyclical recovery, based on the charts, and we are positioned for more follow through here.
- US Treasury bond yields have been rising, and the yield curve is steepening, another sign of an expected economic recovery.
- We favor higher beta sectors currently (tech, communications services, consumer discretionary, energy, industrials, and materials, also financials).
- If our views above are wrong, our ideas below could underperform.
