Sam Unsted’s Post

Note: The following is my personal opinion as is not necessarily the opinion of GHC Capital Markets Limited. I’m grateful to Richard Philbin as I’d missed this article by Redwheel a couple of weeks ago https://lnkd.in/egWmiB6q I urge you to read the article, articulated well by Ian Lance. The chart below is also compelling, unless you really do believe that UK 🇬🇧 #valuations are so off the mark and that US 🇺🇸 will just keep going. For me, the US has far more risk to the downside overall. I’ve posted as such. Proponents of slavishly following an Index particularly for #retailinvestors, I get what you’re saying, but fundamentally it just doesn’t make sense to me at this stage of the #investing cycle, when #growth has been falsely propped up by the printing of #money and that, simple me from Liverpool, can see that it makes sense for that to be inflated away. Capital Economics have today explained well “the legacy of the weaker UK #economy will mean that #inflation in the UK falls further than in the US and that this may be one of those rare occasions where the Bank of England cuts #interestrates sooner and further than the Fed”. Perversely, that could mean that the US economy continues to run hot….but nothing goes up in a straight line and a #reversion to more normal valuation gaps must either see UK rise more or fall less than US markets. I’m further encouraged to be overweight UK by some distance and underweight US, by the MSCI Inc. #index comparison in the chart below…so #fundamental and #technical looks good, all we need is #momentum - and even Jeremy Hunt has at least tried to play his part with some of the rhetoric, while I was more encouraged than I have been for sometime by the noises coming out of the London Stock Exchange. Other views welcome - if done with #respect 👍✌️✊🕊️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 🇬🇧 #totalreturn #valueinvesting #socialmedia
