Top 5 Cheap Stocks To Invest In 2019


Now is a good time for investors to increase their cash holdings because stocks are fully priced and bond prices are falling as interest rates climb, according to Pacific Investment Management Co.’s chief investment officer for credit.

“Valuations for all things are not cheap,” Mark Kiesel, a manager of the Pimco Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund and Pimco Total Return Fund, said Tuesday at a Bloomberg LP event in Beverly Hills, California. “To me that just argues you’ve got to own more cash right now.”

Cash should rise to about 10 percent to 15 percent of portfolios from the more typical 5 percent to 10 percent, Kiesel said. Pimco recommends reducing exposure to credit, especially longer-duration holdings, because risk is building as rates increase, he said.

Bond yields have risen in response to Federal Reserve rate hikes, swelling U.S. deficits and increasing signs of inflation. On May 16, yields on 2-year Treasuries reached their highest level since 2008 and 10-year Treasuries climbed to 3.1 percent, a mark unseen since 2011.

    A lot has changed since then, however. J.C. Penney badly underperformed its own comparable sales target in the second half of 2016, as comparable sales fell instead of hitting the 3-4% mark the company had projected. Its peers continued to struggle — Macy’s(NYSE:M),Kohl’s(NYSE:KSS), andNordstrom(NYSE:JWN) all reported declining comps in the fourth quarter, and Macy’s said last year it would close 100 stores.
