This month, I’m on the hunt for attractively-valued companies. Some of these bargains might have become cheap because of the recent market volatility, and for some, the attractive valuation would only be an indicator of deteriorating business or other issues. But you won’t ever know which one it is unless you start looking.  Because of the many possible ways of defining “attractive” valuation, and because of the wide stock universe, I first needed to set a few restrictions. #-ad_banner-#First: only technology companies. That’s because these are the companies whose missions… Read More

My wife looked over my shoulder at the title of this article and exclaimed, “Can you be any more negative?” She added, “Why on earth would anyone want to learn how to destroy their hard-earned retirement nest egg?” I am sure that most everyone’s reaction is similar.

As the end of the year approaches, many of us look back. Changing the calendar presents an opportunity to think about the past, and that often includes a review of the most important events of the year. For traders, one of the most important events of 2018 was the selloff that occurred in February. The chart of the S&P 500 below details how that all unfolded over several months. At the time, it seemed like the bull market had ended. Initial selling was followed by increased volatility and then a period of time when prices moved sideways. Now,… Read More

At the time, it seemed like the bull market had ended. Initial selling was followed by increased volatility and then a period of time when prices moved sideways. Now, at the end of the year (as I write this), we are seeing a 12% selloff and a period of increased volatility. As always, the biggest question in the market is what comes next. According to technical analysis, what comes next is most likely further downside… Chart Predicts Future Downside In Stocks This chart is the same as the first, but it adds a 200-day moving average (solid blue line in the upper panel) and my Profit Amplifier Momentum (PAM) indicator in the lower panel.

Get all the details here… In literal terms, when short-term bond rates are higher than longer rates or the spread between them is narrow, things can get weird. Markets and investors tend to favor a steep yield curve. Higher long-term rates suggest inflation which suggests higher economic growth which begets corporate earnings growth. The result is higher stock prices. Sounds like the “If You… Read More

From the time most Americans begin their careers, there exists constant talk about saving for retirement. And it’s not just our friends and families.

The investment potential here is immense… It may be the biggest investment opportunity you ever see, because people will pay any price to extend their lives. Come see my #1 play on the gene-editing revolution… But despite all the talk about preparing for retirement, Americans have never been less prepared to walk away from their jobs. Incredibly, about half of American households have no retirement account at all. Worse, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports that nearly one-third of American households age 55 and older have neither a retirement plan nor a company pension.   #-ad_banner-#But Americans with retirement plans aren’t much better. One-third of Americans with retirement plans have just $5,000 saved. Even older Americans who have worked for decades have an average… Read More

I’ve long been an everything-happens-for-a-reason disciple. And while the stock market sometimes exaggerates or undervalues a company or a sector (providing a good reason for stock-picking), if an underlying trend exists, a company’s stock price action cannot operate in isolation. This is why it’s important to know your stocks and sectors, and that’s why single-company valuation should be viewed together with that of its group’s. For such comparisons, having a watch list of potential holdings is quite helpful. Ergo, I present to you a watch list I created for a group of leading cloud computing companies.

For such comparisons, having a watch list of potential holdings is quite helpful. Ergo, I present to you a watch list I created for a group of leading cloud computing companies. As you can see below, the entire group had a strong rally earlier this year, a rally that was interrupted by the fourth-quarter market rout. With the underlying trend of corporate IT moving to the cloud and the accompanying multi-billion-dollar spending (which is forecast to reach $160 billion this year, an increase of 23.2% over 2017, according to the International Data Corporation), the selloff could be viewed as a buying opportunity, at least for the best of the group. A Closer Look… All the companies on this list are peers of the No. 1 cloud pick in my premium service, Fast-Track… Read More
