3 "Expensive" Stocks That Are Historically Cheap
Whether you've been investing for a few months or multiple decades, it's been a buckle-up-and-hold-on sort of year. We've watched as the S&P 500 set records for the fastest bear market decline in history, as well as the quickest rebound to fresh highs from a bear market low. If anything, 2020 has been a reminder that trying to time the market is fruitless.
This wild year for equities could also represent a coming-out party for value stocks. Historically speaking, value stocks outperform growth stocks during periods of economic expansion, which is where the U.S. economy appears headed.
However, this doesn't mean that investors should ignore stocks that are perceived as expensive. While many pricey stocks will remain so for the foreseeable future, a trio of fundamentally expensive stocks are actually historically cheap, provided you don't use the price-to-earnings ratio as your sole measure of value.
