Below, we present the latest data on leading Finance Sector stocks from our
Professional Stock Analysis Service. We applied some basic liquidity criteria--share
price greater than $3 and average daily volume in excess of 100k shares. We have
been following the sector closely of late because it has been correlated so tightly to
overall equity price moves.

What's Hot
Valuations Back Up As Brexit Panic Fades
ValuEngine tracks more than 7000 US equities, ADRs, and foreign stock which
trade on US exchanges as well as @1000 Canadian equities. When EPS estimates are
available for a given equity, our model calculates a level of mispricing or valuation

percentage for that equity based on earnings estimates and what the stock should
be worth if the market were totally rational and efficient--an academic exercise to be
sure, but one which allows for useful comparisons between equities, sectors, and
industries. Using our Valuation Model, we can currently assign a VE valuation
calculation to more than 2800 stocks in our US Universe.
We combine all of the equities with a valuation calculation to track market
valuation figures and use them as a metric for making calls about the overall state of
the market. Two factors can lower these figures-- a market pullback, or a significant
rise in EPS estimates. Vice-versa, a significant rally or reduction in EPS can raise the
figure. Whenever we see overvaluation levels in excess of @ 65% for the overall
universe and/or 27% for the overvalued by 20% or more categories, we issue a
valuation warning.
We now calculate that 45.6% of the stocks we can assign a valuation are
overvalued and 14.99% of those stocks are overvalued by 20% or more. These
numbers have increased-- slightly-- since we published our valuation study in June-when the overvaluation was at 40%. That last study was published just a week before
the Brexit vote.
Think back to the panic we saw soon after moment, with the doomsayers
screaming that investors should SELL SELL SELL! Yet another illustration of the point that
selling in the midst of crisis is typically the worst possible response for the long-term
investor. At this point, that blip looks like little more than "noise." So, those who sold in
the midst of that Brexit-induced panic locked in their losses.
And the markets in the US and elsewhere certainly shook off that Brexit panic,
with several indices setting new records over the past few weeks. Many analysts
found that the uncertainty in the EU removed any possible scenario where the Fed
would raise rates any time soon. As always, that sort of sentiment provided a boost to
equities.
Of course, that is not to say that some Fed officials don't favor increases, but
the time to hit the brakes may have passed by given the fact that the US is in the
midst of a presidential election, and the central bank is notoriously skittish about any
hint of political bias.
We won't have a better sense of potential rate increases until after the next
round of meetings later this month. If good data for the US and world economy holds
up, the Fed may push for an increase in September. But again, we find that the labor
market should still be given some room to run. As always, and as we repeat like a
mantra, the balancing act between the dual mandate of control inflation and foster
full employment creates tension.

For now, our valuation figures still show a "normal" market, with valuations nowhere
near that bargain level they presented in the immediate aftermath of the Brexit vote.
The chart below tracks the valuation metrics for June and July, 2016. It encompasses
the Brexit sell off. It shows levels in excess of 40%.

ValuEngine Capital Money Management Services


We are pleased to announce that ValuEngine Capital has begun trading for
our clients. ValuEngine Capital, a registered investment advisory firm, offers our clients
investment-management services based on industry-leading ValuEngine research.
ValuEngine Capital melds the cutting-edge financial theory of ValuEngine's awardwinning quantitative independent research with the best real-world Wall St. practices.
ValuEngine Capital offers refined investment portfolios for investors of all risk-reward
profiles.
ValuEngine Capital is offering three investment strategies to clients, the
ValuEngine View Strategy, the ValuEngine Market Neutral Strategy, and the
ValuEngine Diversified Strategy.
ValuEngine View Strategy: The ValuEngine View Strategy is the product of a
sophisticated stock valuation model that was first developed by
ValuEngine's academic research team. It utilizes a three factor approach:
fundamental variables such as a company's trailing 12-month Earnings-PerShare (EPS), the analyst consensus estimate of the company's future 12month EPS, and the 30-year Treasury yield are all used to create a more
accurate reflection of a company's fair value. A total of eleven additional
firm specific variables are also used. The ValuEngine View portfolio is
constructed by integrating both our Aggressive Growthbased on the
Valuation Model--and Diversified Growthbased on the Forecast Model-Portfolio Strategies.

Professional Portfolio Management Services


The ValuEngine View Strategy is constructed by integrating this model along
with some basic rules for market capitalization and industry diversification.
The portfolio has 15 stocks and is rebalanced once each month.
Automatically Trade Our Portfolio Strategies ValuEngine Market Neutral
Strategy: The ValuEngine Market Neutral Strategy is the product of
ValuEngine's Forecast Model. This model was developed by a team of PhD's
and is based on the cutting edge economic theories of Wall Street
professionals and Ivy League academics. We carefully examine dozens of
fundamental and technical factors for over 8,000 individual stocks,
synthesize the data, and then come up with a sector-diverse list of our best
and worst forecast 1-month return stocks. Short and long-term historic
factors in the VE Forecast model's calculation include past-valuation levels
of the stock and its recent price-momentum factor relative to other stocks.
The ValuEngine Market Neutral Strategy utilizes Forecast Model outputs
along with market capitalization, price, and sector diversification rules to
construct a monthly portfolio made up of 16 stocks for both the long and
short sides.

Strategies To Suit All Investor Types


The ValuEngine Diversified Strategy: The ValuEngine Diversified Strategy
invests in a variety of asset classes in order to provide investors with stable
returns and a high- dividend yield coupled with significantly lower risk than
single-asset products. The ValuEngine Diversified Strategy may include ETFs
focused on commodities, stock indices, REITS, bonds, emerging markets,
and other suitable products. By reaping the benefits of diversification, the
ValuEngine Diversified Strategy seeks to remain resilient during times of
market volatility. The ValuEngine Diversified Strategy is designed for investors
seeking management for their IRA and other retirement funds as well as
those whose risk-profile is not suitable for our other strategies.
