Money Managers Playing Wait and See Game Until Fed Uncertainty Clears

Money managers happy with last year's gains are opting to stay on the sidelines, says Alan Valdes of DME Securities. He points to last week's jobs report that unsettled many portfolio managers worried about the Federal Reserve keeping its commitment to scale back on bond buying. He also mentioned a Goldman Sachs call about a 10% downside to the equity market. If Goldman is right, traders don't want to buy right now and so volume is light.
