We weren't surprised by the poor jobs number,says Brian Belski,chief investment strategist at Oppenheimer&Co.At Oppenheimer,we have the advantage of investing in actual companies and access to their CEOs.We believe that too many investors are hanging on to the belief that Q2 earnings are gonna save the market.
I don't think the problem is priced in.Given the budget and election concerns,we believe the highs of the year may have already been reached.We still like industrials and tech.We think dividend growth is very important,the U.S.-based large cap names as investors move out of bonds.
We believe tech will provide leadership for the next bull market.We don't think financials will lead,with the strong structural reforms coming to them.The soft patch thinking was reflected in the payroll numbers.Company guidance is likely to be squishy because of that,Mr.Belski projected.
Oppenheimer is a full service investment firm with a history of more than 125 years,providing expertise and insight to affluent individuals,businesses and institutions.From wealth management to capital markets,it has a proud tradition of delivering effective and innovative solutions to its clientele,the company feels.
Brian Belski assumed his current position in March of 2009.A frequent guest on business television,he was previously employed by Merrill Lynch.
