This bull market is not over, says Jeremy Siegel
By Bernice Napach
Last April when the Dow Jones Industrial Average was trading around 14,600, Jeremy Siegel told The Daily Ticker that the Dow would end 2013 between 16,000 and 17,000. It closed last year at 16,577.
This year the Wharton professor and author of Stocks for the Long Run 5/E: The Definitive Guide to Financial Market Returns & Long-Term Investment Strategies, says the Dow will finish 2014 near 18,000 -- give or take. The Dow closed Thursday at 16,402.
"This bull market is not over," Siegel tells The Daily Ticker in the video above. "I don't think we're going to get the 20% to 30% gain we had in 2013, but it will still be a good market this year." Siegel cites the market's price earnings ratio--his major yardstick--and low interest rates as the reasons for his bullish outlook. "Low interest rates are the major reason why stocks don't look expensive to me," says Siegel. The 10-year Treasury closed Thursday with a yield of 2.84%. "The major competitor for stocks is bonds," explains Siegel. Since "investing is a relative game" [and] there's so little to get elsewhere...stocks are more attractive." But he cautions that before stocks rally to 18,000 or above there could be a correction of 10% or so. "We have not had a real correction for so long...anything could happen at this point," Siegel says. |
