Week 1 (June 1 – 8): The economy is just right. Short-term calm and low volatility usually create a “smart-money” outflow and a short-term dip that you should buy . . . maybe by tomorrow. Consider the growth stocks GTES, and OFG. Look at the ETFs: XLI, PSCI, and XSD. Good dividend growth… Continue reading Free Stock Picks for June 2018

May Market Beating Stock and Fund Picks
Week 1 (May 1 – 4): Uncertainty about the Fed, a flattening yield curve, and China trade issues are offsetting strong earnings and a higher rate of economic growth. The result is a trading range for stocks. Eventually, something must give and the market will head one way or another. Hopefully, that will be another… Continue reading May Market Beating Stock and Fund Picks
April Market Beating Stock/Fund Picks
Trump remains the stock markets worst enemy. True, China is a problem. They cause 95% of our trade deficit, steel our technology and intellectual property, and respond to our complaints with a trade war. Re-allocating plant and equipment from China to Mexico may seem plausible but it is likely that Trump would sabotage that. Re-allocating… Continue reading April Market Beating Stock/Fund Picks
March 2018 Market Beating Stock/Fund Picks
Week 1/2 (March 1 -9): Markets are beginning to adapt to real growth less the uncertainty of trade-war possibilities. The growth and earnings side are great while the trade-war issue will probably remain for some time before hopefully fading in importance. With that I’ll recommend some stocks and funds to consider adding to your portfolio. The… Continue reading March 2018 Market Beating Stock/Fund Picks
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… Continue reading February Stock and Fund Picks
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,… Continue reading January 2018 Weekly Stock Picks
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… Continue reading December 2017 Stocks of the Week
October 2017 Stock Pick Performance
October was an overall bad month for stocks and stock picking. While the Base Stock picks outperformed all thee stock indexes (S & P 500, DOW, NASDAQ), the weekly stock picks did not. Even though the base stock picks outperformed, I am selling USCR and adding FTEC to the base stock portfolio. Access the October… Continue reading October 2017 Stock Pick Performance
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… Continue reading Weekly Stock Picks for November 2017
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).
