Episode Description from the Publisher

In this new episode of The Morning Filter podcast, co-hosts Dave Sekera and Susan Dziubinski discuss last week’s market activity and why investors should continue to monitor the Japanese yen. Special guest and Morningstar Europe market strategist Michael Field covers why European equities are lagging US stocks this year, which sectors and stocks in the region look most attractive, and what risks US investors who want to invest in international stocks should watch out for.  Sekera and Dziubinski reveal whether Advanced Micro Devices, Palantir and Clorox remain stock picks after earnings and if SanDisk and Western Digital still look pricey after their post-earnings pullbacks. They wrap the show with three overvalued stocks to sell this month and three undervalued stocks to buy instead.
