Ken Fisher: Bull Market Is Halfway Done

The bull run in the stock market has reached its half-life, and large-cap companies are the way to invest from here, CEO Ken Fisher of Fisher Investments told CNBC on Tuesday.

“People are optimistic about their own lives, but they’re skeptical about everything else. Therefore, we’re going to move from that skepticism, eventually, to some form of optimism, or lack of skepticism, and that means people who haven’t been in the market will get in, will capitulate and put prices higher,” he said on “Fast Money.”

Fisher noted a trend from large-cap stocks.

“This year, we started the process where the very largest stocks started outperforming,” he said. “Usually that happens just about 40 to 60 percent of the way through the time of a bull market, so therefore I think we’re probably about halfway through the bull market and we have several years fully to run.”

Fisher picked five large-cap stocks that he thought had room to run: Intel, PepsiCo, Sanofi, ExxonMobil and BHP Billiton.

“The fact of the matter Is, normally in the back of bull markets, any half of the stocks that are bigger than the dollar-weighted average cap of the market beat the market,” he said. “It’s a real simple game, and stock-picking mostly works against you.”
