Welcome to Episode #278 of the Value Investor Podcast.
Every week, Tracey Ryniec, the editor of Zacks
Value Investor portfolio
, shares some of her top value investing tips and stock picks.
In 2022, there has been a lot of angst as the growth stocks, especially the technology stocks, that have been in a strong bull market for the last 9 years, have lagged. And there doesn’t appear to be a catalyst that will turn them around.
Meanwhile, there have been several bull rallies in other sector, namely among value stocks.
The best performing sector in 2022 is energy. But agriculture and mining stocks aren’t too far behind.
The banks, on the other hand, have actually had a correction in 2022 with some banks down nearly 20%. They are cheaper than ever even as the Federal Reserve has said they will be aggressively raising rates this spring.
Don’t live in the past. Value has taken the baton in 2022.
It’s time to focus on where the bulls are charging.
