our Professional Stock Analysis Service. We applied some basic liquidity criteria-share price greater than $3 and average daily volume in excess of 100k shares. We
have been following the sector closely of late because it has been correlated so
tightly to overall equity price moves.

What's Hot-Valuations Remain In "Normal" Range


ValuEngine tracks more than 7000 US equities, ADRs, and foreign stock which
trade on US exchanges as well as @1000 Canadian equities. When EPS estimates are
available for a given equity, our model calculates a level of mispricing or valuation
percentage for that equity based on earnings estimates and what the stock should
be worth if the market were totally rational and efficient--an academic exercise to be
sure, but one which allows for useful comparisons between equities, sectors, and
industries. Using our Valuation Model, we can currently assign a VE valuation
calculation to more than 2800 stocks in our US Universe.
We combine all of the equities with a valuation calculation to track market
valuation figures and use them as a metric for making calls about the overall state of
the market. Two factors can lower these figures-- a market pullback, or a significant
rise in EPS estimates. Vice-versa, a significant rally or reduction in EPS can raise the
figure. Whenever we see overvaluation levels in excess of @ 65% for the overall
universe and/or 27% for the overvalued by 20% or more categories, we issue a
valuation warning.

We now calculate that 48% of the stocks we can assign a valuation are
overvalued and 15.58% of those stocks are overvalued by 20% or more. These
numbers have increased-- slightly-- since we published our valuation study in July-when the overvaluation was at 46%.
The markets in the US and elsewhere certainly shook off that Brexit panic, with
several indices setting new records throughout this Summer. The word now is "melt up"
with many of the more bullish analysts arguing that as investors return from their
Summer vacations and buckle down again in Fall, we may find more money coming
into the market.
The optimists, as always, are facing off against those bears, who claim that this
is all a bubble and once the Fed raises rates again the party will be over. Of course,
those bears have been pushing that line throughout this historic rally. And if you had
followed their advice at pretty much any time over the past seven years, you would
have done the wrong thing for your long-term financial health.
We remain, as we have throughout the aftermath of the Bush recession,
convinced that the Fed should refrain from further action not to provide additional
aid to the stock market, but to help US workers. Their dual mandate demands that
inflation be controlled--it is--and "full employment" be achieved.
That second part of the equation is where we have controversy. The official
rate is currently @5%. But, we do not see the sort of wage increases and pressures one
would expect if the labor market was tight. We do not think that rates should be
increased until we see workers sharing in the prosperity.
While some Fed officials may desire to boost rates again before the end of
2016, we still believe that this will be difficult. We have a presidential election, a bad
time to be seen as "political." We also have continued questions about both global
and US economic growth. A trifecta of bad news has challenged the Fed--first in
China, the the EU with Brexit, and then due to continued questions about the US
overall GDP-growth rate.
Currently, futures contracts indicate that most investors remain doubtful that
the US central bank will raise rates in September or November. And, for the last
chance in December investor think the odds are still @50-50.
For now, our valuation figures still show a "normal" market, with valuations that
remain nowhere near the bargain level they indicated in the immediate aftermath of
the Brexit vote in June.

Brexit sell off. It shows levels in excess of 40%.

the company's future 12-month EPS, and the 30-year Treasury yield are all used
to create a more accurate reflection of a company's fair value.

ValuEngine View portfolio is constructed by integrating both our Aggressive
Growthbased on the Valuation Model--and Diversified Growthbased on
the Forecast Model-- Portfolio Strategies.
