Wednesday’s Factors and Events
Some of the biggest names in the hedge-fund industry have been making the case in recent days that it is no time to pull back on stocks.
David Tepper said he “loves riding a horse that’s running,” and Stanley Druckenmiller followed up to say he too is riding the proverbial horse. Even Paul Tudor Jones, who has embraced the analogies to the frothy stock market of 1999, says the current rally has a way to go.
But not everyone wants to stay on the racecourse. Tony Dwyer, a longtime bull and strategist at brokerage Canaccord Genuity, is getting a little nervous and said it is time “to take offense temporarily off the field.”
