‘Not a bad time’ to take some profits on this post-2009 stock-market rally, advises Guggenheim’s Minerd

That’s one big takeaway from what some are calling a “bizarre” Fed meeting on Wednesday, which saw Chairman Jerome Powell and fellow policy makers pull another surprise by signaling they expect to see no rate hikes this year.

But, like others, he was caught off guard by a more “tempered” Fed. And using the punch bowl analogy — in which it’s the Fed’s job to take it away while everyone’s still having a good time, but before they start jumping into the pool fully clothed — Minerd says the Fed seems to have “returned the punchbowl and encouraged everyone to have a drink.” Read that Bloomberg interview here.

At times like these, investors need to keep their cool, but they simply trade too much, says Minerd. “They pivot, just like central banks, so nobody can get the timing of this stuff correct. Our basic theory is pick your portfolio based on what will happen in the next five years, put it away and don’t pay any attention to it unless something dramatic is happening to change the long-term view,” he says.
