Long-time bull Jeremy Siegel sees risks that could undermine the 2019 market rally.

div > div.group > p:first-child"> The U.S.-China trade war and slower-than-expected earnings growth are giving him an uncharacteristically muted view on the market's strength.

Siegel, known for predicting market milestones including Dow 20,000 to Dow 25,000, has been moving away from his bull stance. Last September, he told"Trading Nation" that correction risks were growing and 2019 could be a rough year. "We've got an 80 to 90 percent probability of a favorable outcome really baked in," Siegel said."One of the strongest things [President Donald] Trump has going for him is the economy, and the stock market. And, going into an election year, he doesn't want that to falter."

"Earnings estimates might be more challenged this year than a lot of analysts think," he said, alluding to the bearish impact of a higher dollar and last year's big increase in margins."[It] is not the cheap market that we certainly had last December."

Upside risk attaching to high stock prices might have impelled investors to seek other, risk-free, investment avenues like CDs. Lower interest rates can help re-divert investments from instruments like CDs back to stocks.

It’s not cheap but when you think of all the intangible and unmeasurable assets of these new companies, it could be looked at as very cheap! Content is a huge asset, but doesn’t always get added in for these valuations!
