Show Notes
This week in the podcast, we run through five good things we’re seeing in the data right now for the broader US equity market right now. First, bottom-up 2022 and 2023 EPS forecasts have been holding steady. Second, the contraction in the S&P 500 forward P/E is in line with past Fed tightening periods. Third, the valuation gap between the most expensive and least expensive stocks is getting close to pre-pandemic levels. Fourth, retail investor sentiment is back to pandemic lows. Fifth and finally, Small Cap futures positioning is on the cusp of net short territory, and isn’t too far above where it bottomed in March 2020.
