We’re likely going to get a market correction, said Rob Morgan, market strategist at Clermont Wealth Strategies, and Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at Standard & Poor’s.
“The average is about a 15 percent pullback, which would bring us back to 800 to 825 [on the S&P 500] before I can breathe a sigh of relief and believe we’re headed higher again,” Stovall told CNBC.
Second Opinion:
Stovall said he prefers stocks over bonds, small caps over large caps and cyclicals over the defensive areas.
Morgan said he also expects a market pullback and prefers stocks to bonds.
