Chris DeMuth is one of 25 Seeking Alpha Contributors participating in the 2017 DIY Investing Summit. In the summit, one of the questions I asked Chris was what would be the main points of a "State of the Markets" speech to DIY investors. Below is an excerpt from the interview and a summary of his response.

Chris's "State of the Markets..."

Markets are fully priced
Overall market cap is 1.25x of GDP
Markets historically don't do well at these levels
We also have a bursting bond bubble
Credit is tightening
What we "think we know" about stocks may be changing due to shifts in the bond market
This bull market will suck everyone in before it's done
A dramatic environment does not warrant a dramatic response
Be sure to always underpay
Look for individual situations where people are panicking and not paying attention
Would be in cash if there are no compelling ideas

This is just a small excerpt of what's covered in the interview.

The interview if full of detailed tips on Chris's core investment strategies, top advice for DIY investors, and specific ways he's positioning for 2017.
