6:32 pm
record and the nasdaq closing in on 4,000, it may be getting tougher to find some real value in the stock market. but as seema mody found, there may still be some value plays out there. >> reporter: it's getting tougher and tougher finding value in this market, but there are a couple of what experts say are deep value plays, beaten down names that are still pumping out earnings. first up, joy global, mining and equipment maker with shares down about 9% this year, analysts say it trading at an attractive evaluation compares to peers in the industrial sector and the global economy is expected to result in more depend for invest yell names. in the retail space, american eagle down 25% in the past three months. they have been cautious due to the high environment and low store traffic. that's what hurt earnings in q 2. add to that, a colder and wetter spring resulting in less demand
6:33 pm
for summer wear, although, analysts say the teen retailer could benefit from the upcoming holiday shopping season. switch to tech, ibm, yes, a tough couple quarters for big. >> you, that's result in a beaten downstair price but they are cheering the dividend yield of 2% and its plans to continue to find new growth opportunities. within tech, it's a battle between slow growing tech names that yield steady earning great and new age internet names. skeptics say these high flying internet names like facebook and google are trading at a rich valuation and might be too expensive. the bulls say if you want growth, this is where to invest. >> in 1999 investing saying here in 2013 a good place to make money in cash flow protect sieve is what we refer to as new tech. >> reporter: whether industrial,
6:34 pm
retails or tech, if the market continues to move higher x perts say it will be even more difficult to find deep value plays. for "nightly business report", i'm seema mody. he's chief market strategist with russell investments. nice to have you with us. are you finding stocks are getting too expensive? >> in the u.s. market we're seeing a fair valuation on the market. pe, how much can you buy in earnings for what you pay for stocks. it doesn't look overly expensive or cheap, either. from our prospeerspective f we confine ourselves to the u.s. market, i think we're seeing an environment where stock picking, selection will become more important. valuations are important whether growth or value. stocks right now don't look overly rich but we think it will become more of a stock pickers game and picking companies with
6:35 pm
great earnings and in this environment that can dry revenue. it will be far more important. >> did you agree with seema new tech is the place to find deals? >> it's a part of it and we look at a multi asset strategy, not only within tech, energy, health care, the broad array but also looking globally. so we want to understand our valuations more attractive in europe and the united states, for example. so look at emerging markets, europe and where can the really strong balance sheets, revenue drivers be have for evaluation discounts. we'll look in equity space and globally. >> you sound upbeat and positive and i know there is a lot of positive feelings out there in the market. aren't you a little nervous when you see the russell 2,000 hit a new record high during the day, s&p at a new record, google getting above $1,000.
6:36 pm
doesn't this make you a little bit more cautious? >> we're always looking at what are the risks and opportunities in the market. we talk about this stuff every day, every week, all month long, all year long. for us, this is nothing new. when stocks pull back we have a similar conversation. the russell 2,000 small cap stocks are right at an all-time high. the russell 1,000, which is large cap is at an all time high as of today. but within that space, again, we don't see an over or stretched valuation, we just want to know what are the names that have better and stronger balance sheets because if you look at the earnings environment, you're right around market averages. but when markets tend to do well, people tend to bring up concerns. we would also look at europe, emerging markets, commodity space, infrastructure, take a multi asset approach. >> let me ask you this, it doesn't take much, as you know, to trip up this market. we need one negative economic report out of china or something like that. how should investors protect
6:37 pm
themselves as we have rallies? would you recommend sell into the rally? take into the profit? >> they need to take an active managed strategy. rebalancing, looking where valuations are richer. this strategy, not one versus the other but how do you combine them? i think if you look at what can trip us up, political risks, which we've been seeing a lot of, that can be an opportunity and we'll look at what happens in washington. that would be an opportunity. milita milita military intervention and the federal reserve will keep interest rates low and that will be a natural wind underneath equities. we understand there will be volatility but into 2014, globally diversified strategies make sense. >> sounds good. thank you so much v. a great

weekend. great market strategist with russell investments. despite the raise, some experts say they are seeing warning signs the markets may be a little over heated, so is it time to adjust your portfolios and take some money off the table, or keep risking it, betting stocks will go higher? >> dominic chu takes a look. >> reporter: they are showing signs of worry and are looking at things, first market sentiment. according to data from the american association of investors, investors are not only the most optimistic in ten months, also the least pessimistic in months. if investors are too bullish, that could be a bad sign. second, is the stock market too richly value snd many say now but the s&p 500 currently trades at 16.5 times earnings, in other words, you'll pay $16.50 in
6:39 pm
stock price for every dollar a company makes. that's higher than average. third, momentum is slowing down. stocks that rocketed higher like tesla and netflix are losing steam. fourth, some stocks are reaching record highs and surpassing $1,000 a share think google and price line.com. that could be a warning sign. and fifth, margin debt is at a record high. in other words, investors are borrowing record amounts of money to buy stocks. biron ween says to stay alert. >> you don't have an enormously over priced market. you have a market vulnerable to a correction at any time. a fair amount of speculation in the market. >> reporter: on the other hand, some think the bull run continues. >> although there are warning signs, we think 2014 will allow to expand and earnings pick up and revenue pick up and will push the market higher. >> reporter: it not to say anyone really knows where the market is headed, but some experts are moving ahead with
