Barry James calls himself "a bear with a bull mask on." The president of James Advantage Funds believes the market has bottomed, and the time is right for investors to get back into the stock market. He also thinks the rally will continue, despite the last couple of days of setbacks.
"In late February and early March, what we saw was a major capitulation, a waterfall decline, 20 percent in less than 20 days," he recalled. "I looked at waterfall declines going back to the 50s, and when they hit their low, and you have capitulation, you typically had a 45 percent rally, and it lasted for months. Not days, or weeks, but months."
James admits there's likely to be "some consolidation along the way."

He's even ready to buy cyclicals.
"I prefer things that are recession-resistant when I look at the cyclical area," he said. "Big Lots [BIG
