On October 23, Chris Grisanti, chief market strategist and senior managing director at MAI Capital Management, joined CNBC’s ‘Power Lunch’ to discuss market outlooks and suggest that the current bull market could last for years. Grisanti said that the current market dynamic is stressful because many investors, who have large gains in just a few names, are feeling nervous. This nervousness comes from the fact that valuations are the second-highest they have been in a hundred years. This situation presents a dilemma: the market appears strong with momentum, good reasons to invest, AI capital spending, the one big beautiful bill, and good early earnings, yet high valuations persist. Grisanti proposed a three-step plan for investors, echoing the Always Be Closing mantra from the film Glengarry Glen Ross, with a rule to Always Be Invested.
One of the steps is to stay invested. The expert stressed that valuation is a terrible timing mechanism; although the market is expensive, it can remain so for years. He referenced managing money during the internet boom, noting 5 years where the market was considered very expensive, and although the boom eventually ended, investors would have lost 4 out of 5 good years by prematurely exiting. Another step is to trim your winners. He suggested that most investors likely have outsized positions in the usual suspects, like companies in the MAG7, which are great but need to be reduced back to a more normal percentage of the portfolio. The capital freed up should then be shifted toward less expensive areas, with the two favorite areas being healthcare and REITs. Additionally, Grisanti loves to buy stocks with a known bad news list because that bad news is already factored into the market and the stock price.
