February Stock and Fund Picks

Week 1 (Feb. 1 - 9): I am always amused when I hear a stock described as "poised for explosive growth."  It's a catchy line but the same holds for any stock in the market.  Odds are, you will be right some of the time.  The only thing I will say about my stock picks is that they are subject to rigorous research and systematic screening and that some of them, even in the short-run of only a month, will…

January 2018 Weekly Stock Picks

Week 1 (Jan 2 - 5): The conservative strategy is to not chase stocks when they are up, but buy on the dips instead.  Maybe wait for a 1% - 2% pull back in the market or a given stock or fund.  For growth, take a look at OLLI, MULE, EDIT, GBT, HUN, AME, NUAN, PTI, HMLSF (Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Index ETG), TPL, NUAN, AMG, MAS, and IBKR.  For dividends consider GSBD and BREUF.  Pull backs require you keeep…

December 2017 Stocks of the Week

Week 1 (December 4 - 8): A very necessary Tech correction (i.e., the elevator down) is underway.  This will allow for the next leg up among high-flying, high-earning tech stocks (i.e., the slower "back up the stairs")among their respective market valuations).  Once the correction bottoms, buying will again dominate so look for entry points such as the MACD (a chart indicator) crossing upwards and into the buying zone. Growth stocks strongly recommended by analysts include BIDU, KLIC, DQ, PAYC, DXC,…

Weekly Stock Picks for November 2017

Week 1 (Nov. 1 - 10): Goldilocks global economy and the three bears are no where in site.  Consider SQ, INTC, MMM, GRUB, MB, SAFM, ASIX, LAZ, and CRL for growth.  Some of these like MMM, and LAZ also pay dividends that offer more growth.  Keep cash on hand for any corrections, or for buying TVIX at the start of a correction to acquire even more cash.  Rising interest rates may steal some allure from high yielding ETFs and CEFs…

September 2017 Stock Pick Performance

September was another challenging month. So many fear October that sellers tend to dominate the month and finding stocks that might make gains is more challenging. The Base stock portfolio beat the NASDAQ and performed nearly as well as the DOW and S & P 500. The best performer was the regional banks (KRE). Shopify (SHOP) was second best, but has since been "short bombed" by a Citron analyst and will need to find a new bottom, probably somewhere below…

October 2017 Stocks of the Week

Warren Buffet thinks that the low-interest environment creates a situation in which stocks are NOT overvalued and that there are good buying opportunities out there. Also, the general consensus is that there are more positives than negatives that might affect the stock market in the near term. That said, some analysts continue to stress the likelihood of a significant short-run correction and that holding cash is the best hedge. Stocks for Week 1: For growth consider TRLFF, EDIT, CERN, IMED…

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 scenario also represents a buying opportunity. For growth, take a look at CTLT, CG, ADSK, SCZ, and LILAK. SCZ and LILAK are funds investing in…

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 Fund (BIF). For pure dividends, consider EOD and GPM that pay about 11% quarterly. Stocks are generally fully valued, so the average growth rate will…

July 2017 Weekly Stock Recommendations

Stock picks for the 1st week of July, 2017 (July 3 - 7), with markets closed July 4, 2017. The tech sell-off created buying opportunities. July, week 1 stock recommendations must include AAPL. I'd also consider TREE, TCMD, NTES, ANET, JD, JPM, CRIUF, and ARCC. ARCC is a large, solid business development company that pays about 9.3% and has also pulled back recently, making it a good buy. CRIUF is a Canadian utilities company that pays about 8% and offers…

June 2017 Stock Picks of the Week

Stock tickers to consider adding to your portfolio for the week of June 5 - 9 are: Two Chinese growth stocks BABA and WB; Dividend stock with strong dividend growth AVGO; High yield dividend stocks STWD, HSBC, IRM, and EPD; the technology dividend fund TDIV; and the speculative stocks NEO and AERI. Take no more than relatively small positions in the speculative stocks and place stop losses on them to protect your capital. This week is full of political noise,…
