Chad Morganlander, portfolio manager with Washington Crossing Advisors, recently went overweight value stocks over growth stocks. Here are his reasons why.

�� Though earnings are coming in quite nicely for growth stocks this quarter, valuations are stretched.

�� Outsized gains in technology shares, specifically, reduce the relative attractiveness of growth over value at this juncture.
