The Magnificent 7 Are No Reason to Exit Stocks!

By Jeroen Blokland

  • Even though the endless outperformance of the Magnificent 7 means the Equal Weighted S&P 500 Index is underperforming massively, this is not a reason to sell stocks.
  • One to six months after the historically largest outperformances of the S&P 500 Index, more impressive returns tend to follow.
  • It’s only when the S&P 500 Index has lagged the Equal Weighted Index that shorting stocks would have been lucrative.

  • Moderate but uneven recovery underway, with buying in Greece, Saudi, Kuwait and Poland Financials.
  • Despite being the sector’s predominant country holding, South African Financials are experiencing a halt in growth; nonetheless, FirstRand and Standard Bank continue to be key holdings.
