Stock Market 2021 First Half Review & Second Half Outlook
1098 segments
[Music]
well
time flies uh it's really six months of
the year gone
we're at the second half of 2021 so it's
time to do a
half year review and an outlook of the
second half
for the markets all right so let's begin
with the us markets and let's begin the
s
p 500 so from the beginning of the year
we started over there when the candle
opened and as of yesterday the
30th of uh june we closed
at 4297 so the s p 500 is up 14.41
for the first half of the year and this
has been supported by very strong
earnings growth in fact most of the
companies have
beaten earnings by a wide margin and so
that has
contributed to the very strong market in
the first half
now of course as you know prices don't
go up in a straight line they move in
wave patterns and so far
the wave patterns have been pretty
reliable as you can see right wave up
wave down we've up wave down we've up
wave down
very very reliable all right and you
guys know that as investors
when do we buy we buy on the wave down
right so the moment it waves down
it hits a support level right we add
shares there
hits the support we edge as that hits
the support we edge as then we just keep
doing that and that's how we get in at
relatively the lower
prices of the market but again sadly
most people out there
who are not training and investing you
find that the market could go up
in the first six months and they still
lose money that's right
so how do people lose money when the
market goes up very simple because they
keep buying high and selling low
right and most people what happens is
when they see the market going
up and they read all the good news they
say hey i want to make money
and they jump in there the moment they
jump in what happens
right market will drop they read all the
bad news and
they sell so sadly people who are not
trained would always
uh buy there and sell there and buy
there and sell there and buy there
and they keep losing money again and
again so you guys know from
how i've invested for so many years is
we do the opposite of everyone else
right we keep
buying uh when the market drops
and we buy when there's bad news and
that's how we get in at the best prices
so that's the s p 500 so
what's the outlook for the next six
months we'll take a look in a short
while but so far
first six months up 14.41
now how did the rest of the other two
indices do
so if you guys remember last year the
nasdaq
outperformed the s p and the dow because
the technology stocks the state home
stocks
did really well and the rest were left
behind
then the first five months of this year
the opposite happened we had a big
sector rotation where now
the cyclical stocks this the the
reopening stocks
came back and outperformed the
technology stocks so the first five
months
the dow jones outperformed the nasdaq
well in the last month
now the nasdaq has come back again right
so you find that
they take turns uh leading the market so
what you see right now as of
uh end of this month is the market has
now
converged back together again that's
right you got now convergence right so
again last year
we had divergence where the nasdaq went
ahead and the dow was left behind
and first five months the dow went ahead
nasdaq left behind so now
as that comes back it's playing catch up
right so now you see a very nice
convergence in the three indexes
and that's the way it's supposed to be
in the long run the three indexes tend
to
converge together with of course the
nasdaq always having a slight lead
because it consists of high growth
technology companies
so snp up 14.41 nasdaq
just slightly behind but now it's like
catching up at 12.54 percent
and the dow jones at 12.73
if we take a look at the breakdown of
the sectors you can see
show enough the last month technology
has now come roaring back
technology in the last month has become
the best performing sector
energy is still pretty strong as you can
see healthcare is coming back
real estate is coming back all right
and if you take a look at the charts
over here
again you can see that for the first six
months
which sectors have outperformed now
again
this purple one is the s p 500
okay so we are always measuring which
sectors
outperform the s p which sectors under
perform the s p
so again what you're seeing here is the
first six months of the year
first half of 2021 and you can see again
it has been the cyclical sectors
or we call them the reopening sectors
that benefit from the economic reopening
benefit from vaccine
that has been outperforming right so the
best performer this year has been
energy and second
financials and third industrial so
energy
financials and industrials have
outperformed
the overall market and the rest have
been
uh on power slightly behind the s p 500
now some people are saying hey then i
should buy energy right i should buy
financials i should buy industrials
because they are leading the way
well not so fast remember the reason
these three sectors have been leading
this year
is because they have been crap last year
all right so all they are doing is they
are playing
catch up they're not catching up because
they've been
lagging behind all right but the
question is in the long run do these
three sectors actually
outperform the s p 500 no
in the long run these three sectors
underperform the snp why because they
are very cyclical
and they have lower growth than some of
the other sectors so
let's take a look at the long term if
you take a look at
the last 10 years can you guess guess
which sectors
consistently outperform the s p let's
take a look alright so again there we
have
the last 10 years okay
snp is right in the middle so which
sectors beat it technology
in the long run technology always
outperforms the
overall market why because they have got
the highest
growth rates because of technology okay
number two would be consumer
discretionary stocks
also known as consumer cyclical stocks
so these are things like nike
and estee lauder and walt disney
right these are the discretionary
companies right then
in third place you have got healthcare
which also is a very strong sector
in the long run so we notice that in my
portfolio
ideally the majority of the companies i
want to keep for the long run
should be technology consumer
discretionary
and health care these are the ones that
i don't really want to sell i want to
hold it for the long run because they're
in
secular growth industries right
and you can see in the long run cyclical
stocks
like industrials financials and
materials and
energy these are very cyclical stocks
they underperform the s p in the long
run
but do we still want to buy them yes
only when they are dirt cheap only when
they're at the bottom of the cycle do i
want to buy them
and then once they you know catch up to
the top of the cycle
i could start taking profits you see the
difference right here
so you guys know that last year when
financials like the bank's insurance
companies were in the
crapper when you were doing really badly
we bought all the banks last year right
and so i really started to sell all my
u.s banks this year
so also but i'm still holding to my
asian banks because the asian banks are
still
undervalued or not too overvalued right
industrials same thing you buy them when
you're dirt cheap
like 3m honeywell okay so these are
industrial companies like
like deer okay these are companies that
you want to buy when they are really
undervalued once they're overvalued
then you want to get rid of them you
don't hold them too long because they
underperform the s
p uh in the long run all right so
i bought 3m last year i bought boeing
last year i bought
uh what's the other cyclical one i
bought
that i can't remember anyway but i've
not sold them yet because i think
they've got a bit more room to run all
right
as you guys know i never touch utilities
because i think it's
too boring growth is too low and i i
just don't like it right and for me i
never touch
material companies materials are
commodities right right now you can see
that this year commodities
have been booming commodities but i
don't touch commodities because i find
it too hard to anticipate
the trends because commodities are very
unpredictable and
companies within the commodity space
tend to have very low profit margins
because they're in a very competitive
industry where there's no one company
that dominates
that whole industry and as you guys know
i also tend to avoid energy
because yeah in the short term you can
see now energy is doing well
material is doing well but in the long
term they don't really do well so i tend
to avoid these because i'm
i'm looking at it from the long term
perspective so again to summarize in the
long term
technology consumer discretionary
and healthcare outperform the s p so in
the majority of your portfolio you won
the majority of your stocks to be in
these industries right
oh i forgot to talk about staples right
consumer staples
are also known as consumer defensive
companies so what are stable companies
staples are
essential goods like clorox like png
like unilever these are staples a
kimberley club
so normally staples have very low growth
but they tend to be very defensive
in other words during a recession in a
bear market when the whole market goes
down defensives
or staples tend to go up so they're
really good as a way to buffer your
portfolio
and i buy them only when they're dirt
cheap so right now as you know i just
bought clorox because clorox is
undervalued
uh png slightly undervalued still
waiting for a lower price you can get a
lower price unilever
i bought it before i sold it for slight
profit so again staples are good as a
buffer
to your portfolio right they don't grow
your portfolio that much they are buffer
it's kind of like
a balanced meal right so protein grows
your
muscles but you can't just eat protein
because too much protein you get uric
acid is unhealthy you need to balance
protein
with vegetables and uh vitamins right so
staples are like your vegetables your
your
your carbo that balances the growth it
gives you a bit of
energy uh once in a while when you need
it
okay so being the half year let's take a
look at the p e ratio once again as you
can see
uh if you look at the overall s p 500 p
e ratio
it still looks bloody expensive man
right
in the long run the pe ratio the price
to earnings ratio
is about 17 times earnings and right now
the snp is selling at
37 times earnings oh my god so again
people say we are so expensive
right yes i've said this many times
before that
in general if you look at the whole
market it is
expensive okay it is expensive but
within that market there are companies
under the hood of the car that are still
reasonably priced
not many left but there still are and
there's still some companies that are
still slightly undervalued and as you
guys know
uh these are the ones we've been buying
but to do a lot of digging to find these
companies
right so that's why personally for me
i won't buy shares of the index ets
right now for me
right i won't buy shares of the s p the
dow jones the
nasdaq because i think overall is
expensive okay
i prefer to buy individual companies
that i know are fairly priced now having
said that those of you who are taking a
long-term approach to investing you're
doing dollar cost averaging over the
years
you're on a dollar cost average the
index etfs
sure you can go ahead right but
personally i prefer to buy individual
companies
so for example within consumer staples
like i said clorox was a good deal we
bought
clorox a couple of days ago right i
shared with you guys in the
chat group right the the uip alerts
png looks fairly valued pepsi
looks uh slightly undervalued as well
technology
microsoft although it's gone up so much
but microsoft actually is still
uh not that expensive from a intrinsic
value perspective
facebook has gone up like crazy as well
right but again facebook i wouldn't say
is that expensive as well it is fairly
priced but again don't jump in right now
to add more
wait for a wave down right remember buy
when there's panic when there's fear
don't chase the girl let the girl run to
you right
uh salesforce is still fairly priced
okay when it comes to healthcare united
health still fairly price a bdx as well
although that's not on the watch list
yet but i'm still watching
to put it on the watch list in a short
while for industrials boeing
3m they are still fairly priced
consumer discretionary lows we bought uh
bought some shares of lows as you guys
remember two weeks ago i sent an alert
on uip as well
booking.com amazon these are
discretionary companies
uh that are still uh undervalued
and fairly priced right so there are
still some
uh gems around but not many um
so there are still some things to buy
along the way
so what were some of the key events that
happened this month
well one of the significant events was
the federal
reserve the fed during their meeting
announced something quite
uh interesting right so initially
the fed said don't worry we're gonna
keep interest rates at zero
we're only going to raise interest rates
in 2024
and don't worry inflation is you know
short-term it won't go above 2.4 percent
anyway 2.4 percent of target right
so what happened was they came out in um
mid june i can't remember the date right
mid-june and they said
okay we can see inflation is getting a
bit high
right so our target for inflation is now
3.4 percent
for 2021 but again it won't stay there
for long it's going to come back down so
they've acknowledged that inflation
is going up right and what they did say
is that
we are now going to raise interest rates
twice
in 2023 instead so they've moved forward
they are interest rate
hikes so the moment they announced it
guess what the marketplace oh my god
they're raising interest rates
because remember when you raise interest
rates it's like
it's like hitting the brakes on the car
the car is the economy
so right now the car is going really
fast right inflation is going really
fast
so right now the fed is it we have to
step on the brakes
soon so people here step on the brakes
what if you brake too hard and the car
stall so they're betting oh my god right
so the market likes to panic
and so the moment it was announced the
market dropped
i think about 1.5 and again what does
what do most retail investors do they
sell oh my god right dumbasses
so what do we do we buy that's right so
the moment we saw the bad news
we saw the thing crash we bought and
then ha
lelou yeah it goes up again right so the
way to make money is to
be greedy when others are fearful to
take advantage of their
panic to buy great companies at huge
discounts
because remember this can remember this
right that
the market tends to drop
when they anticipate interest rates
rising
but eventually the market will go higher
when interest rates rise isn't that
interesting so i'll review that again
when people think that the fed is going
to raise rates
they panic and sell but in actual fact
the market goes
higher with interest rates
it doesn't make any sense yes it does
okay so remember i showed you this chart
before over here
that if you study history stock prices
and interest rates actually
trend in the same direction over the
long run
why because when the when the fed raises
interest rates they are stepping on the
brakes right of the car
and why are they stepping on the brakes
because the car's going really fast
because the car is
is really uh you know going you know
doing really well
so usually the fed raises interest rates
where the economy
is uh booming and when economy is
booming guess what
companies generate more sales and
profits enhance the value of their
shares rights
so never be afraid of rate rising
interest rates in the long run short
term you'll drop
and that's an opportunity we buy because
we know that in the long run
rising rates mean a strengthening
economy
okay now of course sometimes the fat
gets it wrong and they press on the
brakes
too hard your car stalls right
the economy goes into recession but but
it could happen
but um it's unlikely to happen because
the fat
you know they kind of not tap the break
tap the break don't step too hard
on the brakes the fed also signal their
intention that they will start to reduce
their asset purchases
currently the federal reserve they are
buying about 120 billion dollars worth
of treasuries and agency mortgage-backed
securities every month
all right so they're basically pumping
in money to the market every month
they say we're going to reduce that
right now the moment they
announce this news that hey we're going
to raise interest rates
soon what happened the u.s dollar
rallied
right remember the moment a country
signals their intention to raise
interest rates their currency always
strengthens so the us dollar has rallied
and
gold always goes opposite of the dollar
right dollar goes up gold goes down
it's always the opposite right so gold
has had a major correction because of
this announcement
okay so let's take a look at what's
happening to the china market so while
the u.s markets have outperformed in the
first half
at 14 return china has
underperformed in the first half because
of number one
the governor the government's uh
intervention into the technology
companies so the government went after
alibaba
went after tencent maituan uh because of
anti-trust
uh regulations right so because of this
climate of
intervention uncertainty people panic
and so so
the chinese tech companies have dropped
significantly
uh in the first half dragging down the
entire index and again as an investor to
me that's great news because i did a lot
of
buying of chinese tech companies and i'm
now holding
a pretty big portfolio of alibaba
tencent and jd
because i expect it to outperform in the
second half
or if not next year to come roaring back
the second reason why china's market has
not done so well is because
the chinese government they cut their
stimulus
much earlier than the americans so the
americans are still stimulating the
economy keeping interest rates slow
pumping in money
but china once they created the stimulus
in
last year to help in the pandemic once
they saw their economy recovering
they cut the stimulus very very fast so
basically they
are doing monetary tightening a lot
faster to curb speculation and that has
caused the market to come down
which i think is a good move in the long
run because you don't want it to run too
fast you want it to gradually
go up in a sustainable pace so if you
look at the shanghai
composite index you can see we started
over here in january
and as of now we are just somewhere over
there so
the shanghai composite map index is only
up 3.4
for the first half of the year which is
way below
uh the us in comparison
now let's take a look at the price to
earnings
ratio of the shanghai market to take a
look at
to get a rough feel about whether the
market is expensive or cheap
so you saw that in the us the p e ratio
is like 37
is really way above the historical
average
but china is the opposite you can see
that
historically the p e ratio for shanghai
has been 37.37 and as of now
the p e ratio is 29.23
so based on the price earnings ratio
shanghai
is under value and by the way if you're
wondering this is based on normalized
earnings
not the last 12 months of earnings
next if you take a look at the hong kong
hang seng
index it has also been underperforming
but slightly higher than shanghai
it opened over there and closed here
on the last day of june so it's up 5.86
for the first half of the year and hong
kong also remains
very undervalued you can see
historically the average
price earnings ratio is 18 right now
it's at 17.76
so how has my portfolios perform versus
the s p 500 let me just uh
show you so i've got several accounts
this one is uh this account is about 2.3
million
account and it has got quite a bit
weightage to the china market so this
one did not perform as well
you can go over to the account
management not this one sorry account
management here and it will bring you to
again this account management page
under portfolio analyst
alright so year to date return
so year to date you can see it's a 15
return and that's only uh slightly
higher than the s p
500 which is 14 so to me it's not that
great
why because a big part of this portfolio
has got china
stocks a lot of china technology stocks
so that pulled down
uh the great performance of my u.s
stocks all right but i'm not too worried
because
i believe that in the second half china
will come back
in the second half and so with that i
believe that at the end of this year
this portfolio should way outperform
the s p but let's see how it goes again
this particular account is this one
which has again a lot of china exposure
my other account has
less china exposure mainly us only and
that has performed
uh slightly better let me just show you
over here
yep so this is about one million dollar
account over here and
you can go to account
uh account management over here
all right there we go uh so you can see
it's up 73
uh for the last one year so year to date
let me just click here year to date
yeah year to date is up 21.62 so
uh this one has beat the s p by a better
margin because it's got less exposure to
china
all right so the point is some of you
your portfolios may beat the s
p some may underperform the smp for the
first half it doesn't matter
all right it depends on how you've
constructed your portfolio like i said
uh china has underperformed the first
half but you never know what's going to
happen in the second half
again in the second half if china begins
to outperform and catches up to the us
and the us pulls back
then you never know my my first
portfolio could then outperform my
second portfolio so it ain't over till
the fat lady sings
happy to also see the many of our fellow
traders and investors in the community
also beating the market
so far for the first first half of the
year so we've got people who have been
sharing
like william uh who said this is my
second year
after graduating from the wealth academy
back in january 2019
uh and you know i took my snapshot of my
portfolio my account has tripled in the
last two years
right two years is up 198 the last one
you're up 166
and year to date up 23 so pretty
similar to my portfolio as well and then
we have got
uh jason who just posted today and he
said
today is june the 30th or rather
yesterday
and he's up 42 year to date
prior to attending the courses i was a
gambler
and you know how i performed back then
draining my accounts to the rate
every year right losing money every year
and then once he
used the right methodology now making uh
42
year-to-date and of course we've got
people like bargus
who has been following me now for many
many years
and bagus is amazing he's up 674 percent
for the last two and a half years and
66 percent here today and again what's
amazing about bargus is that
uh you know when he first took my life
class
back in june 2015 i was running
it physically there and he lives in
jakarta right so he said i must fly to
singapore every tuesday morning
attend your life class till midnight and
back to
changi airport waiting for the first
flight to jakarta so he had to spend
you know lots of money on traveling
accommodation and he spent with over 10
000
on the course at the time but you know
nowadays we are able to teach it for
fraction of the course
uh via the the internet right so
is is a great time to be alive and again
many of you would know that many of the
students
actually get you know much higher
returns than i do because i don't
profess to get the highest returns
i profess to be the most conservative
investor you've ever ever met
right so there's no right or wrong i'm
gonna take be a bit more aggressive you
can get much higher returns but you need
uh to be able to take a lot of
volatility in your portfolio
okay so what's my outlook for the
markets in the second half
as i always say no one can predict the
future because you can't predict
tomorrow's
news and how the markets will react to
the news all we can do is we can base it
on
probability now from a technical
perspective
markets are on an uptrend and as long as
they
continue to be on an uptrend the path of
least resistance
is up in other words uh as markets are
not on an uptrend the us
china and singapore it should continue
going higher
for the rest of the year now having said
that remember you won't go up in a
straight line
okay remember that it will go through
wave up wave down with up wave down and
right now we are on a wave
up in the u.s markets so i'm not
surprised that we're gonna get a wave
down right a correction
in the next couple of months but i
foresee that by the end of the year we
should end up
higher than where we are today based on
historical
patterns so that that will be based on
the
technical charts uh fundamentally
u.s stocks can move higher uh driven by
a combination of earnings growth
so companies are expected to again show
great earnings growth in the second half
and the stock market although
relatively expensive to its history is
still
attractive relative to bonds so the s
p earnings yield is still higher than
the yield on the treasury bonds the long
term trends rebounds and of course
currently we are still at almost zero
interest rates that should provide the
liquidity for
the u.s markets to continue moving
higher
now if you take a look a bit at history
you can see from this chart that
when the u.s market makes a positive
gain in the first half of the year
as you can see when the market gains
during the first half
there's a 70 chance it would gain in the
second half now again this is based on
historical statistics and this is also
the first year
of the new presidential term by joe
biden
now historically during the first year
of a presidential term
the markets tend to gain at a 65
probability as well all right so based
on that
uh and historically what we found is
that when the sfp gains
uh say 10 in the first half you tend to
gain
half of that in the second half so 10
the first half
five percent in the second half so since
we gained 14
in the first half then theoretically we
should gain seven percent in the second
half
again it's not a sure thing it's just
based on historical
statistics right now however
i think there's a greater potential for
the china market to outperform in the
second half because it has
underperformed in the first half so i
think
china has a chance to catch up in the
second half if not then
next year but we'll see
okay particularly particularly because
china uh is projected to grow its
earnings
at 21 its uh companies
uh versus eight percent of global
earnings growth
if you take a look at the pac ratio of
the
hong kong market again what is peg ratio
you divide the p
e ratio by the projected growth rate
so remember that the hang seng p e ratio
is about 17 times earnings and earnings
are expected to go at 21
so 17 divided by 21
that gives us a peg ratio of less than
one
which means that stocks are undervalued
all right at the same time if you take a
look at global
allocation global investors are
currently
under allocated to china equities
because of again all this uh negative
publicity about china and all those
things
right but remember
you can't run away from the fact that
china is a long-term global
growth engine and eventually the stock
market would reflect
the growth of its economy and its
earnings in fact the china tax
tech sector is expected to grow at 20 to
40 percent
growth rate in the next couple of years
so a lot of
uh catching up for the equity markets to
do
now there have been a lot of people
saying that the reopening play
is not fully played out so what does
that mean that means cyclical stocks
like energy
and financial stocks and industrial
stocks have
come a long way to recover this year but
it's not over yet they still have some
way to go
upwards all right yes i agreed that
but having said that right now would i
jump into the
financial stocks and industrial stocks
and commodity stocks personally i won't
because again remember in the long run
they underperform the markets they are
just happening to perform well in the
short term because
of their underperformance
last year so they're playing catch up
right
so i tend to only like to buy cyclical
stocks when they are dirt cheap
and they are no longer dirt cheap right
commodities are no longer cheap
financials are no longer cheap
industrials are no longer that cheap
okay
but again there are pockets of companies
that i think still offer
value that can continue to benefit from
the reopening of the economy
one of them would be leisure and travel
now you guys know i don't invest in
airlines because it's a very competitive
industry right
i also tend to avoid hotels because i
already have reads
so for me there are two main companies
i'm looking at to
benefit from the
travel reopening number one is boeing
and number two is booking.com and the
third one is actually the
shanghai international airport that
remind remains very undervalued and
that's listed on the shanghai exchange
all right when it comes to financials i
think that u.s financials
yes they can still go higher but i think
the upside is really limited because
uh they are not cheap anymore
right so i prefer to focus on the asian
financials hence i sold most of my us
banks but i'm still holding on to my
singapore bank stocks and the china
insurance stocks like pinghan insurance
energy and materials yes they could
still
have some way to go up but as you guys
know i tend to avoid
these two sectors because they tend to
be underperforming in the long run
and tend to be very competitive
uh a very competitive industry with very
low profit margins so i tend to avoid
that
right uh so this source is from
bloomberg ubs you can see
uh they expect a lot more runway for
these cyclicals but again i would say
be selective to the ones that are not
expensive yet
finally one of the risks that could
screw things up in the second half
uh well number one would of course if
inflation
stays really high and doesn't come down
like the fat expects it to come down so
if inflation stays
you know above three point four percent
or goes to four to five percent then
well that could be a bit concerning
right
so high inflation could lead to concerns
again about the fed raising interest
rates even
sooner than expected or cutting their
stimulus bond buying program
so if anything happens in that respect
expect shorter volatility expect the
markets to correct
even more in the second half
however which industries
will benefit from higher interest rates
financial stocks okay and that's why i
continue to keep quite a lot of
financial stocks
but in asia as a hedge and beneficiary
of
higher interest rates the other thing is
i've mentioned in my previous video
that if in inflation continues to remain
high
i will still do well and you can still
do well if you hold
companies that have pricing power that
are able to pass along the extra cost
to their customers and you can only do
that with companies with sustainable
competitive advantage as well as
selected reits
with and inflation-proof stocks
the second key risk would be uh as the
the ongoing u.s
china tensions if there's any escalation
intentions
that could cause again short-term
corrections
which from an investment perspective is
good all right why
because geopolitical crisis tends to
produce a very short-term effect
in other words markets tend to go down
very fast and rebound back even stronger
so that will give us an opportunity to
pick up our favorite companies at a huge
discount
so there you go right finally uh if kobe
19 resurgence
happens especially in the developed
world where now we think everything is
more or less under control
if the variants go off control then
everything flares up again we go into
lockdown again
that could be a key risk that is why in
my portfolio
majority of the companies i have are
still the pandemic-proof stocks that
will benefit
from the stay-at-home culture things
like
microsoft salesforce adobe
amazon these are companies where even if
the pandemic lasts for the next 20 years
they will still still do really well
hence if you look at my portfolio
majority are still within these stay
home pandemic proof tech stocks while
the minority
would be in the cyclicals and in between
would be the defensive companies
all right so there you go that's the
review for
first half 2021 and a quick outlook for
the rest of the year hope it's been
useful and as always may the markets be
with you

This video provides a mid-year review of the 2021 stock market performance and an outlook for the remainder of the year. The speaker analyzes the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones, noting a strong first half driven by cyclical recovery and tech earnings. A core focus is on the investor's philosophy of buying high-quality companies when the market experiences fear-driven dips, rather than chasing highs. The speaker also discusses the underperformance of Chinese markets, the impact of potential interest rate hikes, and provides a strategy for balancing a portfolio with secular growth stocks, cyclical stocks, and defensive staples.
