AT&T’s value has gotten better in the last month

One of the more interesting narratives throughout the year from a functional standpoint as an investor is where the most profitable opportunities have been found this year, even as businesses across the world have been forced to shut down, or at best, significantly adjust the way they do business. When you consider the sheer scope […]

The timing looks good to buy TAP

The massive rally of the last week appears to have begun to taper in the last couple of days, which really shouldn’t be surprising at all. It’s pretty normal for the market movement moderate, or even move back in the opposite direction of quick, rapid moves to either the upside or downside. One of the […]

WLK has broken to a new 52-week high – can it go higher?

In my search for value, I’ve found it useful to develop a watchlist of stocks that I can check on a regular basis. That means that I often recycle stocks that I’ve previously used to make useful investments in, but don’t currently have a position in. That’s useful, because the familiarity that comes with the […]

Is now the time to buy HFC’s big bargain status?

The last week has been impressive to watch. With elections in the U.S. translating to a change in residency at the White House (Trump out, Biden in), while the House and Senate remain split between parties, the market seems to be interpreting the result in a positive light. Some of that, presumably reflects a hope […]

Has WBA finally found a useful bottom?

It’s a bit interesting to me to see that while Healthcare stocks in general have performed well this year in no small measure due to the ongoing pandemic, the gains don’t extend to every single stock in that sector. That’s isn’t altogether unusual; after all, no matter what direction the trend of a given sector […]

STLD is retracing off of a peak – is this is a good new bullish setup for a good value stock?

Over the last few months, one of the best sectors of the stock market has been the Materials sector. From its bear market low in March to now, the sector has increased in value by nearly   81% as measured by the S&P 500 Materials Sector SPDR (XLB). This is a sector that I like […]

Is OSK a good bet in a post-election environment?

Markets are naturally cyclical – they swing from high to low and back again on a consistent, if unpredictable basis over a range of time frames. The different time periods associated with any given cycle, or sometimes even the depth of a certain cycle’s direction, can shade the casual investor’s perception about a stock’s opportunity. […]

BWA: a good value, or a bad risk in the Auto industry?

Even before the coronavirus pandemic started to take down entire sectors of the economy beginning in February, the Auto industry was experiencing quite a bit of bearish pressure. Sales were down globally, reflecting economic slowing in various parts of the world as well as the effects of an extended trade war between the U.S. and […]

Is GT finally turning a corner to justify its bargain proposition?

It isn’t too hard to argue that one of the most severely impacted industries in 2020 as a result of coronavirus has been the auto industry. As of the beginning of October, auto sales are down across all major U.S. car brands by an average of nearly -17%. That shouldn’t come as much of a […]

Where do Transportation stocks like CSX sit in a long-term, pandemic-driven economy?

Just about all of the attention of market analysts and talking heads this year has focused on just a couple of economic sectors as the best places to find opportunities for growth in the stock market. Given the fact that the entire world has had to deal with the effects of the coronavirus epidemic, and […]

WRK has dropped about -11% off of its most recent high. It looks like a good buying opportunity

CVS might be the smartest pandemic bargain in the market

In the early stages of the arrival and spread of COVID-19 in the United States, I wrote in this space about my belief that one of the best places a smart investor should focus their attention is on healthcare stocks, including companies in the pharmacy space. This week has seen the pandemic take center stage, […]

TSN is a smart way to be defensive with a great value investment

Over the last month or so, the market has struggled to establish a clear direction. Increasing COVID cases across the country are finally starting to cause concern, especially heading into the colder months of the year, while the political arena has only gotten more divisive and contentious in the weeks ahead of the presidential election.
