The bear market and recession are over and the S&P 500 is 'fully priced' with little room to run upward, investing legend Byron Wien says | Markets Insider

Byron Wien told Bloomberg that the bear market and recession are over, and while the S&P 500 may climb slightly higher, it will not be making any"major strides upward" this year. He also applauded US technology companies for their creativity, but said the US should be a manufacturer as well as an innovator to compete globally.

"I can see the S&P 500 being a little bit higher than it is today, but basically I think it's fully priced at this point," said the vice-chairman of Blackstone Private Wealth Solutions. In JanuaryThe S&P 500 has rallied more than 50% from its March 23 low. The index is nearing a new record high on Wednesday, trading as high as 3,382.83 points.

Wien said that the S&P 500 rally has been driven by large-cap growth stocks, the FAANG stocks, certain healthcare stocks, and Microsoft.

He added that the creativity in the US technology industry is"still ahead of where it is everywhere else in the world." But, China is putting more money into research and development than the US, and he would like to see the US be a"manufacturer as well as an innovator." "I think there are a number of attractive parts of the market but they're not in the stocks that benefited from the recovery so far.
