topping action in this market. >> we do. i will say that there was a goodbying opportunity last week which we tried to take advantage of to some extent for the clients. one of the things we see t lookg market number one valuationless at a -- at a fair market bottom pechlt e then less than 10. price to book less than 1 and dividend yields sver. no where close. the other thing we have is htantitative ting not easing process easing was responsible for a lot ofarket run up. elicitly a mania going on through september companies with no earnings losing money were up 27%. while those with earnings were only up 8%. and that's been kind of a theme that we have seen a while a just few stocks running that's made it difficult. and then lastly, when we look at the markets today we have had a trillion dollars of buybacks and sprkt earnings, the mgoket has no where.

next year we are not having either of those. orat would that mean the future of the market. >> david quite a laundry list of concerns b thatry has. why are you still you will bullish at this point. >> yeah, i mean i think what we have seen in thisse off is just a bit of an overreaction. for sure there are a coupl of cracks in the facade, the trade tensions between u.s. and china are ramping up. you have pockets of softness. we heard abo what's happening in china. and the market is coneding higher interest rates. but that being said, i still think g thebal expansion remains solidly on track. you have china ramping up the stimulus. we think that's going to gain traction in the months ahead. and the tariffs while a headwind are not going to rail the global expansion or the u.s. expansion. so i think we are in a ansition period. but i still think we see continued economic and corporat profit grow >> and having said that, though, david we have noticed this summer a transitn to use your term away from growth stocks to more defensive issues in this

market. and they seem toke lead the m higher. have you done the same thing? >> yeah we have noticed that transition as well. and at th t point wenk value stocks look more interesting. i think we're going threw a bit of a growth scare right now. and as we come out of in growth scare it's gng to be the economically sensitive parts of the l market thatd us out of this. and that tends to be value stocks. on top of that value stocks look very cheap relative to growth stocks and that's another support for i think a nice outperformance in the months heyde. >> barry i assume you are not 1090% in cash you found bargains last week. invest right o to now when you're not that high on the whole market? >> well, in the -- in the shorter run as david was saying, it's an upward market. we have momentum and a good economy. so i -- i agree that probably areas, the cyclical areas, mbe

thenergy areas, that have gotten beaten up prechl lately would offer some opportunities. but i agree wholeheartedl about the value side, completely ignored nobody wants it. the bests general m time to buy something. >> technology had been a huge leader. ou before ask both of we go here, fang stocks especially, barry, they started to show wear and tear the last couple of months here. do you like the as bargains? or wouldn't touch them what do you say about them. >> well there are some i like. like apple. the others i'mot too interested in. i had a client earlier this year soldrv our conive fund, bought one stock amazon and said bus it only goes up. we know that's not always true. so we think that they are cutting dangerous groundno righ and we would prefer to move back into the other types much stocks. maybe even an ibm or intel for that matter as opposed to the fang stocks. >> david, what about you on fang

stocks. >>ve a similar position. we are neutral on technology and communications services. and that's the sectors where most of the fangs reside. that being said, i think what's most important is maybe distinguishing absolute between these -- these different stocks. some of them lookctually pretty interesting and pretty attractive at this point. bu overall, our preferred sectors are now energy and financials and tech is not - we're neutral on tech not one of the preferred sectors. >> gentlemen,d g to see you both. thank you for jning us. coming up where to find opportunity after the worst nth in nearly adecade. and then jane wells trash talking. >> reporter: i'm in anaheim calirnia where these folks are pulling stuff out that has no business being in the recycle business. like this. who knew? the recycling business model is broken. how to fix it?

we talk trash, coming up. as we close the books on what was one of the worst octobers in nearly a decade for the mechanic. our next guest says this global off may have yielded mouth watering opportunities for investoring. joining us david deets, the president of welt vow point management welcome back. >> thank you bill. >> you're one of the great contrarien out there when most areullish you are not. but now after this month you are

looking for opportunities. it's been a brutal month with bonds and stocks going down. when you look at the investment landscape that's the time to roll up sleeves and look for bargains. we are old fashioned. we like to pay the least for each dollar of earnings and sales. we like to get the best dividend yield. you know there are some great swaths of opportunity out there. >> let's put it in terms of change traded funds. etfs you like that have had a tough time. guard total international stock etf has had a tough yearo butre snitching around on this. >> i love people saying they want to index. but it's dependent where you index. if you index overseas from the januar n high you are down 20% in the low cost van guard endex. but when you h at 1.8% dividend. 3% over there. l one thirs in terms of price to earnings price to sales. i think to myself getting more income, same sgrowth, a lot l

for the financial metrics go for it. >> same thing here with the van guard ftse, emerging markets have suffered you are look looing at them. >> absolutely. here people say don't forget about growth. you know but when it comes to growth, there emerging markets growing about one third to 50% faster than here.et there you the greater dividend yoeld. 3.2 versus 1. at almost 60% more growth what am i missing, bill. >> as far as etfs go. i share has the s&p 500 value etf appear growth etf which -- i'm guessing you go for the value at this point. >> it seems like i'm echoing your former guest. but year to date the val is down 6 or 7% while growth is up. i'm using that as a way to just continue to go into the value steas. remember over the o oh years value stocks have outperformed. decade re about a stretch where value

underperformed. people say how long can you hang intost the valueks. >> well if it's been down a decade perhaps you have a decade ofco outperformance ng. >> very quickly a lot of viewers like dividend paying stocks for income and so forth but in the rising interest rate period it's tough to boy dividenin p stocks isn't it. >> well, it is. but the only thing worse than a good dividend paying stock is a stock with no income paid out because that's going to be even less competitive to hher bond yields. the two we recommend, exxon and caterpillar a as the quintessential value stocks with minating markets. 3% for caterpillar. 4% forexen. >> david love talng with you david with point view wealth management jo joining us here. kellogg cut the full-ier recast and that's where we begin the market focus after a quarterl b sales miss cause weakness in several of the u.s. businesses, the snacking giant tempered wall street expect aches was a revised profitout look for 2018.
