On paper, most recent investment trends remained intact for the full year 2020. Large-caps outperformed small-caps; growth topped value; and domestic stocks returned more than international stocks. Will it be a value market in 2021? Will small-caps continue their recent strong run? Given low interest rates, we favor growth stocks and think that investors recently were simply taking some extraordinary profits from their winners in an extraordinary year. Investors seeking value are encouraged to look for dividend yields in the 3%-4% range. As for small-caps, the promise of a COVID-19 vaccine is encouraging for these companies, which typically don't have the strong balance sheets of large-caps and are thus more dependent on a strong U.S. economy. Small-cap valuations remain depressed despite the recent run, and this group continues to look well-positioned in 2021.

Investors have been willing stocks higher, even as the coronavirus shows few signs of slowing down. But while the major indices are at or near all-time highs, participation shows signs of thinning out.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has now logged eight straight weeks of gains, and the S&P 500 has been nearly as efficient. Contrarian investors are worrying that the V-shaped recovery in the S&P 500 is too much and too soon, given that the issues that sent stocks lower - trade & tariffs, incomplete Brexit, and stumbling emerging economies - are still very much in place. One issue that has gone away, at least for now, is the Fed's monetary policy stance; formerly restrictive, the Fed now seems to be verging on accommodative.
