Markets: Snap-Shot 6 February 2018
February is not supporting the gains we experienced in January or throughout 2017. All markets except Europe and China are in negative territory for the year.

Stock Consideration Report: U.S.
In the most recent Snap-Shot we discussed the move away from overvaluation in MidCap stocks and the increase in overall relative valuation in LargeCap stocks. This directional change has continued with MidCap moving back to 125.5% Fv, a reduction of 4.4 percentage points from our January Considerations Brief. LargeCap has advanced to 116.7% Fv a gain of 3.4 percentage points over the same time period. SmallCap has remained basically unchanged at 122.3% Fv. This movement is welcomed, especially given the corrective environment taking place at the end of last week and early this morning. World markets have joined the U.S. posting major drops in market valuations with the only exception being China.
