A. valued properly – stock prices will grow at a relatively constant rate for the next 6 months

B. undervalued – for some reason stocks are trading for prices below average; now may be a good time to purchase stocks while they are “on sale”

C. overvalued – watch for the growth in stock prices to slow down or turn negative in the upcoming months.
