It’s the best November for stocks since 1980.
The Nasdaq (COMP.IND) is pushing 10% gains, and some analysts are now predicting 5000 S&P 500 (SP500) by year’s end. That would be a new record high and almost 21 times forward earnings.
At 19X forward earnings today, stocks are 13% historically overvalued.
So, obviously, you should just sit in cash, earning your 5.5%, and avoid buying stocks, right?
In the last decade, when stocks were red-hot, delivering blockbuster 17% annual returns, the average investor achieved half that. That was due to market timing, in a dead simple (buy the index and ride the wave) Golden Age for making money.
A 60/40 buy-and-hold investor outperformed the market timing investor by 27% over the last decade.
Over the last two decades, the average investor has achieved 38% inflation-adjusted returns, while the market has tripled.

What if you could find a wonderful company trading at a wonderful price?
Today, there are exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, that are trading at 10x earnings, 5X cash flow, and 6-7X cash-adjusted earnings.
COWZ Is The Gold Standard Buffett-Style Deep Value ETF
How cheap is 6X cash-adjusted earnings? In the first ten seasons of Shark Tank, Marc Cuban, a billionaire with the inside track to sweetheart deals, averaged 7X cash-adjusted earnings.
Today, you can buy not one but two ETFs trading at even better valuations for some of the world’s best A-rated companies.
But Pacer US Cash Cows 100 ETF (COWZ) and VictoryShares Free Cash Flow ETF (VFLO) are not particularly high-yielding or consistent dividend payers. Income investors might want something more.
How’s this for more?
