There seems to be a growing disconnect between the real economy, and the stock market.
In the US, the S&P 500 has hit a new high even as millions have lost their jobs.
Back in Singapore, the second-quarter has seen the worst GDP contraction on record.
Investors here, however, have not seen share prices revisit the lows back in March.
What is the reason for this apparent gap?
Should the stock market plunge soon along with the economy?
Or should the economy start to recover in due course, led by the stock market?
Admittedly, it’s somewhat of a conundrum.
What you should be doing, though, is hunting for great companies out in the stock market.
Despite the recovery in share prices of some companies, many others are still languishing.
Who knows? There may be a juicy bargain lying in wait for the astute investor.
