The long-term charms of equities

Article Abstract:

Stock prices have dropped in fall 1998, but equities have still performed better than bonds over the longer term. Some people avoid equities due to fear of risk, and equities may drop in periods of recession when investors may have greatest need of them. There are also entry barriers, since not everyone can afford equities. Bonds can outperform stocks over long periods, but equities usually perform better. There may be risks from deflation and other factors, but equities are likely to offer better returns than bonds.

Value investors wait for their day

Article Abstract:

Value investors seek stocks with high yields or low PE ratios, and they are seen as likely to perform better when investors become more averse to risk. They have been affected by fears of an economic downturn, since many are sensitive to business cycles, and they may not perform as well as growth stocks when there are tight monetary conditions. Looser monetary policy may mean an improvement in the performance of value stocks, and they have tended to perform better than growth stocks over the longer term.
