Chart of the Month

Growth stocks are expensive right now relative to value stocks - really expensive. In fact, if we chart the growth-to-value ratio during the last 25 years, growth stocks haven’t been this pricey since the peak of the dot com bubble. Stated another way, this is the cheapest that value stocks have been relative to growth stocks since the peak of the dot come bubble. This is just another reason why we continue to believe in a value-heavy asset allocation at this time.

Investing Wisdom

“The sound reason for increasing the percentage of common stocks (beyond 50%) would be the appearance of 'bargain price' levels created in a protracted bear market. Conversely, sound procedure would call for reducing the common-stock component below 50% when in the judgement of the investor the market level has become dangerously high.”
