Consensus = Returning Bull Market
• 97% Of TopGun investors plan to be ‘net buyers’ within 3 months
• 97% Expect the end of ‘virus related’ investment deterrents within 6 months
• 95% Expect a return to January 2020 prices ….
• 28% say within three months
• 43% say within six months
• 33% Plan to buy using reserve cash
• 64% Are switching current positions into higher quality names
• 62% Say a change of the US Administration would affect stock prices and rated negative risk at 48% up from 38% a week ago.
WHAT ELSE DO TOPGUNS SAY? Each big ticket investor employs a somewhat personalized risk assessment and stock selection process. While the professional investment community is of one mind in terms of buying the market, their strategies are diverse. Value investing is the most popular theme, but value may be entirely in the eye of the beholder. The more unique the vision, the greater the risk of being the only one who sees it. Not a good outcome if the market doesn’t pick up on the value story. There is a consensus around highest quality companies seen as the best in their businesses. These TopGun companies predictably outperform but the investor instinct toward that super value discovery can be hard to resist.
