Wharton School's Jeremy Siegel said investors should stick with stocks even as the 10-year Treasury yield again breaches the key 5% level.
Stocks came under pressure Monday from higher Treasury yields.
All three major stock market averages were last trading lower as the 10-year Treasury yield briefly topped the 5% level, with some analysts saying yields could climb higher still.
"Clearly, stocks are the place to be in if we get stronger growth," Siegel said Monday on CNBC's " Squawk on the Street. "
"And if we have real growth that's a source of these higher yields, I don't think that's a negative for stocks."
