Stocks are cheap because we’ve come off several quarters of improved trailing twelve month EPS and because the 30-Year bond yield is below 3.00 percent. In addition Wall Street may still be overly optimistic about twelve month forward EPS. While more than 90% of all stocks are undervalued according to ValuEngine only 18.5% are rated STRONG BUY or BUY. This makes stock selection a real challenge. This week ends a difficult month and quarter with the monthly charts for the major equity averages turning negative. This conundrum between positive fundamentals and negative technicals is a reason for caution and why I have been recommending an allocation of at least 50% in cash since February. In the ValuTrader model portfolio we have a 41.25% allocation to stocks with a 10.0% allocation to shorts in Diamonds (DIA), S&P 500 Sector SPDRs (SPY) and NASDAQ 100 Shares (QQQ). Stocks are cheap enough to increase allocations to 50%, while keeping ETF shorts at 10% until Value Levels are tested.
