the various risk barometers periodically make a run at exuberance, but there’s still enough to worry about — from a possible Fed policy change to the growing spread of the Delta variant — to put investor emotion back in check before things get out of hand.\nIn fact, investors’ inability to shake these worries produces an interesting paradox, whereby the largest and most-stable stocks are one of the few areas that might actually be starting to warrant the “frothy” label.  Investors feel they have no choice but to own stocks, yet are reluctant to take on risk.\nAs a result, traditional “risk-on” sectors — small-caps, high-beta stocks, IPOs, for example — have lost steam as investors pivot to their favorite large-cap, U.S. growth companies, which have seen their price multiples and representation in the indexes rise to lofty levels.\nAt times like this, it can be tempting to chase performance and buy even more of what’s working because “it’s going up.”  But like the Hotel California, getting in is not a problem, but getting out may prove difficult as everyone heads for the exit at once.\nRisk control\nInvestors do have options to mitigate the risks that may be developing within this part of the market.  While some are turning to “smart beta,” which uses a different index-weighting methodology — such as dividends or volatility (versus the market capitalization-weighted approach used by many indexes) — there is a clear element of market timing in such moves that can materially impact performance.\nBetter to choose a balanced approach — for example, an equal-weighted exchange-traded fund, such as Invesco S&P500 Equal Weight ETF or the more reasonably priced iShares MSCI USA Equal Weighted ETF — may reduce concentration and manage risk better than a more extreme move into, say, a value-skewed, dividend-weighted fund.\nFor those who manage to maintain a reasonable time horizon, start looking for opportunities; remember they’re unlikely to reside within the market’s current darlings, so you’ll want to cast a broad net.\nIf you’re patient, developed markets outside of the U.S. are shaping up to offer more fertile ground. The iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF offers a cost-effective way to get exposure to developed markets, while Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF does the same for emerging regions; meanwhile, consider Vanguard’s FTSE All-World ex-US ETF for an all-in-one solution.\nMeanwhile, keep in mind that emotion is not your friend, so stay disciplined. When things look frothy, investors often try to time the market by moving to cash, a notoriously tricky and strongly discouraged maneuver.  Even those lucky enough to avoid a pullback rarely get the re-entry right, leaving them sitting on the sidelines watching a major market advance pass them by.  Remember, you and your financial adviser worked hard to find the right long-term strategy for you — stick with it for the long-term.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":813254118,"gmtCreate":1630207794334,"gmtModify":1676530243850,"author":{"id":"3587095479419511","authorId":"3587095479419511","name":"HelloKitty55","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d60ee63e7e29d36d5bc7561ef9bc3ed6","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3587095479419511","authorIdStr":"3587095479419511"},"htmlText":"Yes","listText":"Yes","text":"Yes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/813254118","repostId":1161784228,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1161784228","pubTimestamp":1630047842,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1161784228?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-27 15:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why stock market bulls may be right to push valuations so high","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1161784228","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Investor sentiment right now doesn’t indicate a frothy market\nAGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES\nWith","content":"<p>Investor sentiment right now doesn’t indicate a frothy market</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/97be72b5bb9e18d0dd71a2ffdb82aa83\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES</span></p>\n<p>With U.S. stocks reaching new highs, investors and experts alike are starting to wonder if market conditions are getting frothy.</p>\n<p>In a frothy market, investor enthusiasm begins to outpace any consideration of risk.&nbsp;

the various risk barometers periodically make a run at exuberance, but there’s still enough to worry about — from a possible Fed policy change to the growing spread of the Delta variant — to put investor emotion back in check before things get out of hand.\nIn fact, investors’ inability to shake these worries produces an interesting paradox, whereby the largest and most-stable stocks are one of the few areas that might actually be starting to warrant the “frothy” label.  Investors feel they have no choice but to own stocks, yet are reluctant to take on risk.\nAs a result, traditional “risk-on” sectors — small-caps, high-beta stocks, IPOs, for example — have lost steam as investors pivot to their favorite large-cap, U.S. growth companies, which have seen their price multiples and representation in the indexes rise to lofty levels.\nAt times like this, it can be tempting to chase performance and buy even more of what’s working because “it’s going up.”  But like the Hotel California, getting in is not a problem, but getting out may prove difficult as everyone heads for the exit at once.\nRisk control\nInvestors do have options to mitigate the risks that may be developing within this part of the market.  While some are turning to “smart beta,” which uses a different index-weighting methodology — such as dividends or volatility (versus the market capitalization-weighted approach used by many indexes) — there is a clear element of market timing in such moves that can materially impact performance.\nBetter to choose a balanced approach — for example, an equal-weighted exchange-traded fund, such as Invesco S&P500 Equal Weight ETF or the more reasonably priced iShares MSCI USA Equal Weighted ETF — may reduce concentration and manage risk better than a more extreme move into, say, a value-skewed, dividend-weighted fund.\nFor those who manage to maintain a reasonable time horizon, start looking for opportunities;

the various risk barometers periodically make a run at exuberance, but there’s still enough to worry about — from a possible Fed policy change to the growing spread of the Delta variant — to put investor emotion back in check before things get out of hand.\nIn fact, investors’ inability to shake these worries produces an interesting paradox, whereby the largest and most-stable stocks are one of the few areas that might actually be starting to warrant the “frothy” label.  Investors feel they have no choice but to own stocks, yet are reluctant to take on risk.\nAs a result, traditional “risk-on” sectors — small-caps, high-beta stocks, IPOs, for example — have lost steam as investors pivot to their favorite large-cap, U.S. growth companies, which have seen their price multiples and representation in the indexes rise to lofty levels.\nAt times like this, it can be tempting to chase performance and buy even more of what’s working because “it’s going up.”  But like the Hotel California, getting in is not a problem, but getting out may prove difficult as everyone heads for the exit at once.\nRisk control\nInvestors do have options to mitigate the risks that may be developing within this part of the market.  While some are turning to “smart beta,” which uses a different index-weighting methodology — such as dividends or volatility (versus the market capitalization-weighted approach used by many indexes) — there is a clear element of market timing in such moves that can materially impact performance.\nBetter to choose a balanced approach — for example, an equal-weighted exchange-traded fund, such as Invesco S&P500 Equal Weight ETF or the more reasonably priced iShares MSCI USA Equal Weighted ETF — may reduce concentration and manage risk better than a more extreme move into, say, a value-skewed, dividend-weighted fund.\nFor those who manage to maintain a reasonable time horizon, start looking for opportunities; remember they’re unlikely to reside within the market’s current darlings, so you’ll want to cast a broad net.\nIf you’re patient, developed markets outside of the U.S. are shaping up to offer more fertile ground. The iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF offers a cost-effective way to get exposure to developed markets, while Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF does the same for emerging regions; meanwhile, consider Vanguard’s FTSE All-World ex-US ETF for an all-in-one solution.\nMeanwhile, keep in mind that emotion is not your friend, so stay disciplined. When things look frothy, investors often try to time the market by moving to cash, a notoriously tricky and strongly discouraged maneuver.  Even those lucky enough to avoid a pullback rarely get the re-entry right, leaving them sitting on the sidelines watching a major market advance pass them by.  Remember, you and your financial adviser worked hard to find the right long-term strategy for you — stick with it for the long-term.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":159,"commentSize":9,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
