Stock market returns are going to be weak — for the next 5 years, Jim Paulsen says

Get used to it: Stock market returns are setting up for a tough five years ahead as economic benefits shift from Wall Street to Main Street. The timing of the analysis seems apt, as multiple economic signs point to above-trend growth ahead while stock prices have languished.

Rising values in the MSM almost always — the early 1970s was an exception — coincide with lower equity values, and vice versa. "When this ratio is high, Main Street has probably been good for a while," Paulsen said.
