He said that investable stocks “have a definite downside due to dividends and insensitivity to interest rates…and the other reason: they are mature companies that went through a recession before and came out of the other side stronger.”
“If you own the tangible stocks I’ve been highlighting, you have a chance to buy more on weakness. If you’re stuck in the concept stocks I warned you about, you’re going to have a crunch,” he added.
