Investors shouldn’t automatically increase their exposure to stocks
The U.S. stock market still has plenty of room to rise: Sevens Report President, Tom Essaye, Quoted in TradeAlgo.com
Dow Jones and Russell 2000 Are Joining the Stock Market Party. Would It Be a Game Changer for the Bulls?
Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research, cautioned that investors shouldn’t automatically increase their exposure to stocks just because the Dow is near record levels.
While the Dow’s strong performance is a positive sign, he noted that it represents only 30 large-cap companies and doesn’t offer a complete picture of market health.
Essaye argued that more meaningful progress would come from record highs in the Russell 2000 or the equal-weighted S&P 500 index, both of which provide a broader view of market performance. While both have recently moved closer to their previous highs from November, they still have ground to cover before establishing new records.
