Is IP’s flattening trend a buying signal?

There is a common idiom that states, “a rising tide lifts all ships.” For investors, that saying suggests when the broad market is going up, most stocks should go up as well. On a more macroeconomic level, the same principle applies on a sector basis; if a sector is showing signs of strength, most investors […]

Is CLR really the big bargain that it seems to be?

While the rest of the market has been pushing to a new set of all-time highs  – as of the end of last week, the S&P 500 was up nearly 19% year-to-date – the energy sector has been struggling lately. As measured by the S&P 500 Energy Sector SPDR ETF (XLE), the sector is down […]

Is GOLD a good proxy for defensive positioning with precious metals?

It’s always interesting to watch the way market sentiment and investor attention shifts over time. For most of the year, the market has unsurprisingly been taking most of its queues from trade, with investors increasingly pricing in an expectation that a deal with be reached between the U.S. and its trading partners eventually.

Is the timing right for a small-cap bargain like SCHL?

One of the challenges about investing in the stock market is knowing where to look. With tens of thousands of different companies, in more than a dozen different sectors, hundreds of industries and even more sub-industries to consider, it can be pretty easy to throw your hands up in the air in desperation.

Transports are lagging the market – is that a good thing for stocks like KNX?

There are a lot of different ways that you can track the market and pull information to find stocks that might make attractive investment opportunities. One method that I find useful is to periodically check the movement of individual sectors versus the broad market. The saying, “a rising tide lifts all ships” for many is […]

Are CCL’s fundamental strong enough to call it a good value?

At the beginning of May, I took a long look at Carnival Corp (CCL), the largest cruise operator in the world. At the time, the stock was up about 11% for the year, riding the broader market’s rally to that point to a short-term peak at about $55 that appeared to have the stock positioned […]

KSS is in its own bearish trend – could that be a buying signal?

The stock market’s rally since May has been good for a number of sectors, including Consumer Discretionary stocks. The sector is about 8.5% higher since the beginning of June, and nearly 21% year to date. With the biggest, most well-known names like Walmart (WMT), Amazon (AMZN) and Target Stores (TGT) leading the charge, the assumption […]

Want to get defensive? D might be riskier than you think

2019 has been an interesting year for investors so far; we’ve watched the market raD to a new all-time high after testing near-bear market levels into Christmas 2018. One of the things that has marked this new bullish raD has been the fact that defensive sectors have been among the biggest winners. While the raD […]

LLY is down almost 15% from all-time high. Is it a good time to buy?

In the last week I’ve been focusing my attention in this space on a few of the biggest, most established names in the pharmaceutical space. It’s an industry that I think is becoming more interesting under current market conditions, as some of these names remain significantly off of multi-year, or even all-time highs even as […]

Is KR’s bargain proposition better than ever?

One of the best-performing sectors in the stock market since the beginning of the year has been the Consumer Staples sector. After bottoming with the rest of the market on Christmas Eve in 2018, the sector has rallied a little over 20% as of this writing. In fact, this sector was one of the only […]

Is PFE a growth stock, a value stock, or none of the above?

Over the last week, one of the fears that has been driving the market (besides the new constant, which is trade) is the concern over whether the economy is finally at risk to start weakening. For some investors, that fear has led to a “flight to quality,” meaning that they’re starting to look for safe […]

Is MPC a bigger bargain than it was just a few months ago?

One of the sectors of the market that tends to see the most volatility on a short-term basis is energy. The volatility that can drive the prices of energy commodities like crude and natural gas from one extreme to another in a short period of time is something that can make conservative investors pretty nervous […]
