MarketWatch’s Mark Hulbert says that a couple of historical factors are
indicating that value stocks may be ready to finally start outperforming
growth stocks again. Hulbert notes that value stocks, which over the
long term have enjoyed a significant edge over growth stocks, have
lagged their growth peers for the past few years — the longest such
period on record. That means a reversion to the mean should be on the
horizon. Exactly when that occurs is unclear, but Hulbert does say that
his research shows that value stocks tend to put up their best
performance vs. growth stocks in the fourth and final year of the
Presidential Election Year Cycle, which we’re about to enter.
