Take advantage of the recent market gains, said Sean Clark, chief investment officer of Clark Capital Management, and Michael Yoshikami, president and chief investment strategist of YCMNET Advisors. (See their investment recommendations, below.)
“It is a bull market — we’ve been saying that this is a cyclical bull market within an overall secular bear,” Clark told CNBC.
“There’s a lot of positive to look at: risk is beginning to come back into the market, and we’re beginning to see the money that used to be on the sideline slowly filter back into the market.”
Clark said investors should be buying into the dips because he expects the markets to trade higher into the summer and into early fall.
“We’re still on an uptrend,” agreed Yoshikami. “The market has seen its lows and continues to show evidence, including unemployment numbers, that things are stabilizing and recovery is around the corner.”
Yoshikami advised investors to follow the reflation, inflation and infrastructure trade path.

Commodities— "They need to be part of the portfolio strategy," he said. "It’s still time to position for inflation considering the amount of lubrication we have floating around the whole world in terms of the stimulus package."
