steadily puld from stock funds in recent weeks. they often serve as contrarian signals that leave the market poised for relief rallies. none of this means the market will escape the trading range that's prevailed since february. rallies have stalled while below the january peak, and seasonal factors will turn negative by late july. there's a chance that the market has made a tentative peace with the trade warstory, opening a lane for the bulls to make a bit of a mid summer run at the wintertime highs. for nightly business report, i'm mike saoli. >> there are a number of wall street firms that have become cautious onstocks. today, for example, guggenheim partners called this latest rally the last hoorah. a morgan stanley strategist says it's time to go full on defensive.

the next years and reinvest their dividends are going to end up with a low return. so low single digit returns. which is going to be low retive tohistory, and indicative of the high levels in e market. >> we have an economy that seems to be firing on all cylinders, we haveecord low unemployment. the fundamentals of the economy look good, it doesn't always translate into stocks, that oresn't bode wellhe stock market or contribute to higher prices in the stock mark? t's a good point, sue. everybody knows that the jobs market is improving. we all see the unemployme figures. we all see the record levels of corpore balance sheets, the high levels of profitability, there's a lot of positives, capital markets and stock markets are forward looking. prices reflect that in our opinion, the challenge is, when you get into these sort

of later business cycle stages where you start to see unemployment very w, y start to see inflationary pressures rising, that's when investors tend to be the most optimistic,o unately, extrapolation can be hazardous to investor's wealth, at the points, people assume the good times are going to keep going, but unfortunately, a lot of nose positives are already in these very high valuation levels. >> what are investors to do with this. if we're to have a lower tn expected return for equities over the next 10 years or so, wher do you suggest thathey go to get the best return? >> look, i think it really depends on your type of investment strategy, for mr. people, trying to time the markets and exit the u.s. stock market now would be dangerous ced generally what we think they should do is bor lower returns, the challenge when you've hp high returns for the last fiv yea and 10 years, is that people start to think it's

normal when they start to adjust their spending and savings lower your expectations, i think this is going to be a more challenging decade for stock market returns,now, for those investors that can take a long term view, andbe that m areth to be more contrary, and separate tmselves from the pack there's value in stock markets outside of the u. particularly the u.k. stock market. it unpopular, but also priced accordingly, we think there's value there, we also think there's value in emerging market stocks as well. the yield for cash s andrt term bonds is rising, so the alteative is much more attractive than it was 2, 3 years ago, when cash rates were anchored around zero. probably the lesson from our perspective is, the many people don't try to time the market. >> so noted. >> daniel needham, good to see you again, thanks for joining us
