Derek Moore and Mike Puck from ZEGA Financial discuss how unlike what all the “experts” thought, international stocks have done quite well, and Europe’s economy held up. They look back at how long US large cap has outperformed international developed country markets. Then they look at some sector flows and note the parabolic nature of the chart into the tech sector. Plus, they talk about US Equity Factors through very early June comparing growth, value, high beta, and low volatility performance. Finally, in a follow up to a previous episode’s debate about car prices, Derek reads some reader emails and reviews the BLS data showing markups at dealerships are way up!
