DOW’s stabilization at yearly lows looks like an opportunity

Beginning in April, the Materials sector, which had diverged from the rest of the market up to that point in 2022, surrendered to broad market momentum to drop into its very own bear market. It’s been stabilizing for the past month – and I think that could equal opportunity. Big drops in price, over a […]

MOS is more than -20% off of its latest high. Is it a bargain yet?

There is a pretty significant difference in the way different investors perceive a stock in a long-term upward trend. For growth oriented-investors, the longer the upward trend, the more attractive the stock is, simply because the expectation is that the longer, bullish trend will outlast any near-term, bearish sentiment or momentum the stock may see.

DOW has bucked the market in 2021. It might still be a good buy

One of the things that market uncertainty does to a lot of investors is to make them more hesitant about taking on new positions. I think that’s a pretty natural reaction, especially when we see the market start to reverse existing trends. Since the beginning of the year, increasing bearish sentiment has finally pushed all […]
