We do expect that the rate of economic growth will slow not only here in the fourth quarter at the end of last year, but for the next three quarters all the way until the third quarter of this year before then starting to reaccelerate.

While the stock market itself may be broadly at fair value, we still see a lot of opportunities in individual stocks.
