For example, most everyone understands that growth stocks are the best investment in a rapidly expanding economy. #-ad_banner-#Unfortunately, what works in a rapidly expanding economy might not work as well in a slowing economy. So most financial advisers recommend their clients reduce exposure to growth stocks in favor of value stocks as well as dividend payers when the economy starts cooling.

Get your share here… Do their business models enable multi-decade (or beyond) earnings durability or will they become obsolete? As technological growth and development expands geometrically, just about every industry faces an obsolescence issue either partially or completely. A successful business must have the ability to adapt and grow. Not only should their business sector be solidly and easily defensible, the company’s ability to generate cash consistently and return that cash, in some form (usually dividends) to shareholders. It’s not hard to find these types of names. A forever stock’s company typically touches consumers on a daily basis in some form. In fact, the best company’s have woven themselves into the fabric… Read More

Notice that IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) are near the bottom. Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) and McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD) are at the top. In bear markets, investors tend to like McDonald’s. At the worst point of the 2008 bear market, MCD was only down about half as much as the S&P 500. Over the full course of that bear market, the stock lost just 7%. This chart shows investors are shifting to defensive stocks. That can be seen in the next chart, which looks at the changes in different sectors over the past three months. Consumer staples, healthcare and utilities are the classic defensive sectors. These include companies like Procter & Gamble in the consumer staples sector, drug companies in the healthcare sector and your local power company in the utilities sector. These are the kind of businesses that offer… Read More

There is a world of difference between investors and traders. In general, investors use fundamental analysis to research and buy stocks at the head of some secular trend. Investors only sell stocks once the investment thesis undergirding that trend is exhausted. And to give a stock the time needed for a thesis to materialize, investors typically hold on to their stocks for years — and even decades. —Recommended Link— THE LIST: Top 7 Growth Stocks To Buy Now Our annual research has produced winners of 310%, 452%, and even 569% in years past.

During this time, investors boost their profits by taking advantage of occasional stock splits and dividend reinvesting, or compounding. Compounding allows investors to purchase additional shares of stock with no further capital outlay. The resulting increase in the number of shares owned from stock splits and compounding significantly lowers an investment’s cost basis over time.

I want to start this week by answering the question that’s on everyone’s mind… “What the heck is going on in the market?” To do that, we need to start by looking back. In particular, I want to review the busy-looking chart below.
