Forbes Video: Why Stocks Look Way Overvalued -- S&P's Stovall
By SIMON CONSTABLE
When it comes to investing one of the hardest things to do is to buy stocks at the right price. Sometimes there are periods like the mid 1970s when equities were massively undervalued. Other times like in 1999 and 2000, the opposite was true. In the latter period it was years before investors who bought overvalued stocks got their money back, if ever.
What about now? Probably overvalued, if you believe Sam Stovall, U.S. equity strategist at S&P Global Market Intelligence. That conclusion isn't based on a gut feel but rather the result of deep analysis of historical data.
He explains his thoughts in this video.

By SIMON CONSTABLE
The bond market has been in a three-and-a-half decade bull market as the cost of borrowing money has steadily fallen. Bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions.
With rates now at historic lows, the question is simple: Can they go lower, or are we at the bottom? Or as the kid in the back seat of the car repeatedly says, are we there yet? Even a few years ago some pros were saying that interest rates could not go lower, and yet even since then the cost of borrowing has dropped.
At least some observers think we have arrived at the bottom, and hope that rates start to rise soon. One such market professional is Edward Dempsey chief investment officer at Pension Partners.
Watch, listen, and learn as he explains his thoughts in this video.

By SIMON CONSTABLE
When it comes to Britain's exit from the European Union, a debilitating case of 'nannyism' seems to have afflicted some otherwise smart people.
It's limiting their view of how that country should deal with international trade: What's needed is a bold and daring approach, one like the brave and swashbuckling Brits of yore were famous for.
Forbes Video: Will Investors Get Roasted In Turkey?
By SIMON CONSTABLE
After the failed coup in July, Turkey still makes headlines, but should you worry? Certainly the government crackdown looks brutal with multiple news organizations and educational institutions being shutdown, plus many people being rounded up by security forces loyal to the country’s ruler Erdogan.
What’s happening certainly makes the country look like a tough place to live right now. But the for Wall Street the question is how the crackdown, which seems likely to continue, will affect investors in Europe, which after all is on Turkey’s doorstep.
