The bears growled for months about how expensive stocks became during the euphoria of late last year. And they had a point: Rarely in history have stocks been as pricey as they were during the recent boom.
Yet if there's a silver lining to the recent market chaos, it's that stocks no longer look absurdly overpriced. Heavy selling, driven largely by fears of trade wars and inflation, doused cold water on a market that had been overheating. The melt-up is over.
And that's not just because the Dow has fallen 2,500 points from its high point. It's that the market mayhem failed to shake the confidence of Wall Street.
Earnings estimates, a key indicator of stock prices, almost always decline each quarter as companies manage expectations lower (and then top those expectations anyway). Yet the opposite happened this time as analysts scrambled to assess the benefits of President Trump's corporate tax cuts.

The Company is conducting a multiple-ascending dose study of ALXN 1210 to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ALXN 1210. In addition, it has over two clinical studies of ALXN 1210 in patients with PNH. The Company also has initiated an open-label, multi-dose Phase II study of ALXN 1210 in patients with PNH that is designed to measure change in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels and safety in several dosing cohorts and intervals.
Advisors' Opinion:- [By ]
A rare-disease pioneer, Alexion (Nasdaq: ALXN) is profitable, thanks to its blockbuster drug Soliris approved back in 2011. Last year, ALXN generated more than $3.5 billion in revenue from Soliris, an increase of 16% compared with 2017.

Sandstorm's due diligence is thorough, they don't just invest in any company. They like West Africa because they understand the area and the opportunities that exist there. Sandstorm is a royalty and streaming company, so they make these investments and receive cashflow deals that often kick in much later on. But they have already established a presence in Burkina and have deals in place with larger companies like Orezone Gold (TSXV: ORE) and Endeavour Mining (TSX: EDV). Sandstorm's investment also potentially gives us access to their marketing department through something they call Launch Lab, and it looks like it will really benefit our own marketing efforts and will expose us to more opportunities over the coming year.
