Also, the general consensus is that there are more positives than negatives that might affect the stock market in the near term.

September 2017 Weekly Stock Picks
Week 1 (9/5 – 9/8): September is generally a worse month for stocks than August, which wasn’t very good. Still, stock indexes finished August at nearly their break-even points. Adjust your expectations for September to include a greater risk for profit taking and a market correction, and for stocks to finish the month lower. This… Continue reading September 2017 Weekly Stock Picks
August Weekly Stock Pick Recommendations
Week 1 (July 31 – Aug 11): For growth, I suggest looking at INTT, NVMI, KLIC, TFECY, LYV, and GILD. For dividend growth and income, consider MPLX, and NTES. ETF’s that pay around 8% quarterly and provide strong growth are IHD, and IAE. An undervalued CEF that pays monthly is the Boudler Growth and Income… Continue reading August Weekly Stock Pick Recommendations

April 2017 Stock Picks and Market Strategy
Trading range, consolidation, pull-back to 200 day support line are all possibilities to look forward to in the near term. The market tends toward risk-on with good news about fundamentals such as the ADP hiring report this Wednesday. By contrast, political uncertainty “noise” has a strong, or even stronger, negative effect pushing investors into the… Continue reading April 2017 Stock Picks and Market Strategy
Flow Theory of the Stock Market
Flow theory is about the flow of money into and out of stocks, economic sectors, and the overall stock market. I am going to focus on the overall stock market. Flows into and out of the stock market occur for different reasons in the longer-run period (greater than 1 or 2 years) versus the shorter-run… Continue reading Flow Theory of the Stock Market
