10 Value Stocks In This Uncertain Trump Market
Uncertainty in the Markets
Prior to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration Friday, the Dow has lost value five trading days in a row. Many analysts attribute the recent pull back to the fact that there is still so much uncertainty surrounding a Trump administration. But isn’t this the same uncertainty that helped US equities rally to record highs after Trump’s victory back in November?
The one thing that does appear to be certain: the market doesn’t have enough information yet to make rational decisions. And don't forget that the best investment opportunities typically present themselves when the broader market is moving irrationally.
So where should investors be looking?
