Sit Investment's Doty: Fed is done, and a big bond opportunity is here

<p>Bryce Doty, senior portfolio manager at <a href= "https://sitinvest.com">Sit Investment Associates</a>, says he believes the Federal Reserve has finished hiking rates, even though it hasn't announced it. He looks at the clues in chairman Jerome Powell's remarks, and notes that this inflection point has bond yields at a great spot, noting "I can't remember a time when the real yield was as attractive as it is now." He's not the only one seeing opportunity in bonds, as Willie Delwiche of <a href= "https://himountresearch.com">HiMount Research</a> talks technicals and sees headwinds ahead for the stock market late in the year due to economic pressures that he expects to hit home early in 2024, but noting that bonds are poised for a long-term rally if/when interest rates start dropping. Also on the show, Steven Perry of <a href="https://xainvestments.com">XA Investments</a> discusses the growth in non-listed closed-end funds and how they offer all investors -- including those without a lot of money -- the chance to get into asset classes that previously were reserved for the super wealthy and the big institutions and, in the Market Call, Rob Spivey of <a href= "https://valens-research.com">Valens Research</a> talks about his firm's accounting-based methods for analyzing stocks.</p>
