My 2 cents: I'm generally bullish on EM equities, gold and silver, and global commodity producer equities over the next year or two.

Re: On what are you most bullish?
SCV.
Here's why.
1. SCV has outperformed the S&P 500 in every 20 year period on record save one.
2. The concentration of stocks in the S&P 500 seems to be strongly suggestive that SCV is about to outperform significantly, as in potentially 9-13% annualized over the next five years.
3. After underperforming TSM for a couple of years, it's been roaring back to life for the last six months or so (i.e., appears to have strong momentum).
4. I've lost count of the number of threads and posts during the last year of people giving up on SCV.

Stocks over yonder. Ex-USA in general isn't cheap, but it's relatively cheap compared to USA. EM Value still looks cheap after some nice gains.

Small is still cheaper than large.

I certainly think we could see a big pullback and SCV could take a big hit like it always does in big declines, but over the next 5 years I'm very bullish.

Re: On what are you most bullish?
Some new technology or platform that I can’t identify prior to it's rise? Some new Elon Musk venture? Unfortunately I don’t have much imagination is this area. I guess that’s why I’m so happy with my two-fund portfolio. It eliminates decisions that I’d probably just get wrong anyway. I watch “sure bets” go south in the investment world and embrace the simple investment philosophy even more.000 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 11:45 pmburritoLover wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 10:51 pm Nothing - the next 10 years are probably going to be the worst period to invest in history.Then what do you think will be least bad?

I don’t know what will happen with equities but I am very bullish on the world economy in general and enjoy the feeling of going along for the ride with global equities.

Re: On what are you most bullish?
Emerging markets. Not that I am saying tilt that way. I'm just saying that in our world today, if you had, say, a country where people live on a dollar a day, wouldn't you expect them to have more room to grow?
This time is the same
Re: On what are you most bullish?
Right now, I'd say, in order of bullishness:
1) EM Value & global energy producers
2) US and developed ex-US SCV
3) Developed ex-US value stocks
4) Gold and silver miners
5) I-bonds
For #4, I was more bullish early last year and late 2019, particularly for silver miners, as the gold/silver ratio reached its highest point in over 100 years. I usually don't participate in short-term market timing (I do utilize longer-term market timing), but I did switch over all of my gold miner position to silver miners in late 2019. It payed off, as silver miners had about a 60% return over that time vs. a 30% return for gold miners.
Once silver and gold miners went up between 100-200% from March to August of last year I decided in the shorter term I'm not bullish (any asset class that goes up 100-200% in a few months is due for some pullback) but longer term I am, because they are still down 40% from there all time highs in 2011.

Re: On what are you most bullish?
I would advice you to read Howard Marks letter "Something Of Value". The data-mined results that Fama-French came up with were when the Internet was not widespread and it was very hard to get good data on securities. There is no guarantee that SCV will persist in the future. Another thing that is giving me confidence in proclaiming this is the lack of statistically significant large-cap value premium outside Japan for 1992-2014 (out-of-sample of Fama 1992 paper). If Value was risk based we would see the LCV premium being statistically significant outside Japan but we don't and that should worry people who are tilting to Value here because what is preventing SCV from heading down the same road? Even the man himself Fama who data-mined the "Value" factor does not know if it still exists for USA.

What I am most bullish on, in bullet points...
• "Don't do something, just stand there." - John Bogle
• "Much—and perhaps most—of the money you’ll accumulate for retirement will reflect the raw dollars you sock away and not the investment returns you earn. Because savings are so crucial, and because they’re the key driver of your ultimate nest egg, how you invest is somewhat less important." - Jonathan Clements
• During our working careers we are bullish on continuing to sock it away in our chosen AA every week, every month, and every year no matter what the market does, no matter what people are saying, no matter what the news is, and no matter how smitten the latest trend followers become.

Re: On what are you most bullish?
Seriously? Hands down my bullishness is steadfast in my ability to live within my means and, so, prepare for come what may. Many variables here but I owe me Dad for this. What a mighty man!

Re: On what are you most bullish?
I definitely wish this was true. I’m skeptical only because how dominant big tech has gotten. I don’t want to use the “m” word but I will say as a small business owner who has a long memory, it’s never been harder to compete that it is right now. In many cases, it’s impossible. The mega cap tech companies have done a masterful job of eliminating competition.willthrill81 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 10:33 pm SCV.

Re: On what are you most bullish?
I have been bullish on US Large Value for a few years, that hasn't worked out so well. So for whatever it is worth, I am bullish on US Value and International Stocks. I increased my stake in TIPS a bit, not because they are cheap (they are not) but because I suspect inflation will tick up with all the fiscal and monetary stimulus.

^ this
If the next 10 years are going to be flat, or down or whatever, the only thing I can control is how much I am saving. 10 years from now will be when I am thinking about retiring, or within 5 years of it, so hopefully the market will jump back up at the perfect time for that
