While we enjoyed a strong Christmas rally, the market remains significantly overvalued. In times like these, safety lies in the deregulated bank sector, where deals are poised to happen frequently. Unlike many overbought areas of the market, bank valuations remain attractive—especially in this high-priced environment. Now, more than ever, you need to know your portfolio inside and out.
Do you truly know what you own? Many investors do not. In today’s market, it's not uncommon for portfolios to hold 30% to 40% of the same stocks—a strategy that rarely ends well. If you’ve been fortunate enough to ride the wave of high-flying tech stocks over the past few years, not taking profits now would be a missed opportunity.
With most assets—whether Bitcoin, real estate, gold, or NASDAQ stocks—at historic highs, any positions you may need to sell in the next year should be sold yesterday, not tomorrow. I’ve been following the markets for over 50 years, and this is undoubtedly the greatest stock market of my lifetime. It feels like the mirror image of 1973-74, when stocks seemed to fall every day—today, they seem to rise almost daily.
While recent years have built tremendous wealth, they’ve also created significant debt. Be cautious. Be strategic. Be safe. Invest in what you know, and take profits when you recognize overvaluation.
