A popular investment oracle says this is no time to run from markets. Money manager Jim Stack, the editor of InvesTech Research Market Analyst, says this is no time to be bearish. Despite the fact that we're pushing six years of a bull market, he believes low oil prices, low interest rates, and the steady rise of consumer confidence (and the business confidence it breeds) will push the current bull market past the six year mark and into the future. According to today's Kiplinger article profiling him, he recommends investors keep 83% of their assets in stocks. Stack, as the article points out, "has been perfect in his market calls over the past decade". "He correctly predicted the onset of the 2007–09 bear market," notes Kiplinger's Steven Goldberg, and "flipped to a bullish stance near the bottom in March 2009, and has remained steadfastly positive even as a steady stream of scares have frightened more timid strategists out of the market". Not bad. It's true that Stack’s newsletter has now produced an annualized return of 9.9% for over a decade (and, Goldberg is quick to note, "an average of two percentage points per year more than Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index). However many are still weary of both bears and bubbles -- and we've heard the optimism of boom-time advisers before (Google "Jim Cramer Bear Stearns. I'll wait.). Stack's optimism does seem fitting, at least for the short-term. Our bi-annual election rally still has brokers on a high their cocaine just can't match. The bull is healthy, happy, and here to stay. For now.
