Be Bearish At Your Own Risk

Profit from the Pros Be Bearish At Your Own Risk Every investor is going to agree with this statement. The higher earnings are in the future...the higher the market will go. This is as natural as night following day or 1 + 1 = 2. Thus, it is foolish to understand this notion and be bearish on stocks at this time. First, because we are coming off back to back strong earnings seasons. Second, because economic indicators point to continued strong GDP growth ahead (not just in the US, but also in China, Japan and Europe). Third, because the Trump administration is once again rallying the troops to lower corporate taxes, which actually has decent bi-partisan support. If you lower corporate taxes, then earnings automatically go higher, which naturally leads to higher stock prices. Even if these plans only have a modest chance of becoming law, you would be downright nuts to have your money out of stocks at this time given the upside potential from corporate tax cuts. The companies most likely to benefit from such a move are those with the most international profit that has not been repatriated because of the current high tax rate. In general, larger cap stocks have the most international business and would be the biggest beneficiaries of this move.
