Weekly Market Outlook October 8, 2017

Pfäffikon SZ, Switzerland – Investors have unlimited confidence in the current bull market: tax reform is the magic word. Meanwhile, investors have to deal with one of the most speculative bubbles in American history. Companies already benefit from historically low tax rates and pruning funding. Investors pay an extreme price for shares based on infinitely increased profits. Prospective investors will only observe this development and shake their heads. We remain committed to cycle discipline and proven historical valuation models.

Monday is Columbus Day in the US. Although banks remain closed, stock markets are open on Monday. The most important economic reports this week are the US retail sales over September and consumer price index (CPI).
