xavi
This rally is getting a bit long in the tooth, close to 1600pts there is little upside from here unless the market goes into panic buying mode due to fear of missing out syndrome.
Still a few value picks out there, but it is getting harder by the day to pick them due to the elevated valuations now..
Pon
well…sector wise, energy isn’t expensive, banks are still “Cheap”, telco’s are what they are, conmats could still go, insurance may turn around, prop seems ok. Wouldn’t be too surprised to see this market continue going til dividend season in april
xavi
Yes certain sectors still have a bargain or 2….but the upside from here is very small IMO, like risking 15% to make 5%.
