Bi-weekly Update November 27: Remain bullish. The market and leading stocks continue to act well, and while a pullback, shakeout or some other potholes could occur in the short-term, the odds continue to favor higher prices over time. In the Model Portfolio, Mike is going to fill out both Dexcom (DXCM) and Qorvo (QRVO) by purchasing another half-sized position in each. That will leave us with around 14% in cash.
Bi-weekly Issue November 21: Last week, Mike added MasTec (MTZ), filled out our position in Teladoc (TDOC) and started a half position in Dexcom (DXCM), leaving us with around 24% in cash. In tonight’s issue, he talks about our market view, give you our latest thoughts on all our recommendations and write about the two themes that he thinks are leading the market higher, at least for now. There is one portfolio change today: MasTec (MTZ) moves from Buy to Hold.
Other Stocks of Interest November 21: Follow ups to stocks featured July 3, 2019 (issue 1423) to November 21, 2019 (issue 1433). Since many of the stocks written about in Other Stocks of Interest don’t make their way into the Model Portfolio, you won’t see them followed on a regular basis in the issues. However, we are monitoring these stocks, and this listing gives you a quick view of our latest thoughts. Feel free to email me directly (mike@cabotwealth.com) with any questions/comments you have.
Cabot Top Ten Trader
Weekly Issue November 25: As has been the case since the early-October lows, that weakness was tame (most dips were calm and controlled), with today’s burst of buying pushing many back up. (Encouragingly, even the lagging small-cap indexes are now trying to break out of multi-month ranges.) There’s still some shorter-term yellow flags, so Mike wouldn’t throw caution to the wind here (don’t forget to take some partial profits!), especially if you’ve put a bunch of money to work in recent weeks. But the fact that most stocks and indexes haven’t been able to retreat much despite those yellow flags is yet another stone in the bullish wall. He remains bullish. This week’s list includes a broad mix of names, from old winners coming back to life to new names perking up to recently strong performers that have eased to good entry points. His Top Pick is Axon Enterprise (AAXN), which has come back to life after a year-long rest.
Movers & Shakers November 22: The big-picture evidence—price, volume and trend action of the major indexes and leading stocks, both growth and cyclical—continues to look very promising. Thus, Mike is sticking with a bullish posture, and think further pullbacks or consolidation should prove buyable. His buy ideas today are: Murphy USA (MUSA), Reliance Steel (RS), Synnex (SNX) and Valero (VLO). There are four sells this week.
Cabot Undervalued Stocks Advisor
Special Bulletin November 27: Guess?, Inc. (GES – yield 2.4%) reported $0.22 third-quarter adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) yesterday afternoon vs. the $0.18 consensus estimate, and above all analysts’ estimates. Revenue was $616 million, up 2% year over year, but a bit shy of the $620.3 million consensus estimate. It remains a Strong Buy.
Weekly Update November 26: Today will be an important day for our retail apparel stocks, with Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) reporting third-quarter results in the morning, and Guess? (GES) reporting in the afternoon. Designer Brands (DBI) will bring up the rear with third-quarter results on December 10. Crista is expecting good results and a bullish outlook for all three companies. There are two portfolio changes today: Citigroup (C) moves from Hold to Buy and Mosaic (MOS) moves from Buy to Hold.
Monthly Issue November 5: Crista is giving you FIVE NEW STOCK IDEAS today. One of them will officially join the Special Situation Portfolio, and that stock is Amazon.com (AMZN). And there is a bonus section with four extra investment ideas. She won’t be permanently adding the bonus stocks to the Cabot Undervalued Stocks Advisor portfolios, but feel free to enlist their assistance in your pursuit of capital gains and dividends. Here are today’s portfolio changes: Alaska Air Group (ALK) moves from Hold to Retired, Amazon (AMZN) joins the Special Situation Portfolio as a Strong Buy, CIT Group (CIT) moves from Buy to Hold, Southwest Airlines (LUV) moves from Strong Buy to Buy and Synchrony Financial (SYF) moves from Hold to Retired.
Cabot Stock of the Week
Weekly Issue November 19: The market remains in fine health, with all the major indexes at or near highs, market breadth healthy and investor sentiment still far from euphoric. To Tim, it’s all good, and thus he continues to recommend that you be heavily invested in a diversified portfolio of stocks that meet your needs. This week’s recommendation, Corteva (CTVA), is an undervalued agriscience company that pays a nice dividend and looks like a low risk investment that could pay off nicely in the months ahead. The stock was originally recommended by Crista Huff of Cabot Undervalued Stocks Advisor. There is one portfolio change today, Digital Turbine (APPS) moves from Buy to Hold.
Cabot Global Stocks Explorer
Special Bulletin November 26: This is a short week but Carl wanted to give you some news on a couple of his recommendations that have been making news. First, Alibaba (BABA) has moved from 182 to 190 this week as it launched a successful IPO on the Hong Kong stock market yesterday, raising just over $11 billion. Meanwhile, Luckin Coffee (LK) continued to move upward, going from 28 to 31 over the past two days. He’s keeping it at buy but advises holders to take some profits off the table as the stock is up 63% over the past two weeks.
Bi-weekly Update November 21: The Cabot Global Stocks Explorer portfolio is doing well in 2019 and a number of recommendations have recently surged on the strength of impressive earnings and an improving environment for emerging and international stocks. Sea Limited (SE) has been the top performer, and has over the last two weeks gotten back to its 2019 high, and is up more than 300% so far in 2019. Over the past two weeks, Luckin Coffee (LK) has soared 49% on the back of a strong third quarter and investors are taking note of strong institutional support for the stock. Carl has one portfolio change today: Huya (HUYA) moves from Buy a Half to Hold a Half.
Bi-weekly Issue November 14: To kick things off, Carl is scatter-shooting around the globe, delving into some of the biggest headlines around the world that could potentially impact our portfolio.Today’s new recommendation, Rio Tinto (RIO), supplies the world with gold, diamonds, aluminum, copper, titanium, iron ore and other industrial metals. Rio Tinto is also a major player in infrastructure – railways, refineries, power plants, ships and ports – that moves its commodities from the mines to end customers. Carl has one portfolio change today: Luckin Coffee (LK) moves from Hold a Half to Buy a Half.
Cabot Dividend Investor
Monthly Issue November 26: The portfolio is still well positioned. It has a combination of defensive plays with renewed momentum as well as value stocks that are awakening. Since the last monthly issue, three weeks ago, the REIT and Utility sectors have regained their footing. The sectors had been the worst in the market over the past month as the renewed “risk on” mood shunned the more defensive plays. It remained a question whether the pullback was an overdue consolidation or a more meaningful correction. Recent behavior is indicating the latter. The notable exception to the value stock resurgence has been energy. Tom’s featured stock today is Qualcomm (QCOM), the world’s largest supplier of chips for mobile devices.
Weekly Update November 20: The market mood is always changing. Just last week the market indexes were forging new all-time highs and cyclical stocks were the best performers. What a difference a week makes. The upward momentum in the market hasn’t necessarily stopped, although it’s down today on renewed trade fears. But the safe sectors that had been getting pummeled as the market rose (namely REITs and Utilities) have sprung back to life this week. In fact, REITs were the best-performing sector of the market and Utilities weren’t far behind. Tom has one portfolio change today: Cheniere Energy Partners moves from BUY to HOLD.
Cabot Marijuana Investor
Monthly Issue November 27: The cannabis sector remains in a correction, with Canadian stocks in particular still struggling—even as Cannabis 2.0 promises new retail opportunities. But the fundamentals of the industry remain bright, and investors are now beginning to discriminate between the winners and the losers—with the best stocks showing substantial increases in buying volume recently. The portfolio remains more than a third in cash, waiting for the sector’s main trend to turn up, and Tim has just two small adjustments today. The portfolio will sell half its position in Cresco Labs (CRLBF) and double its position in Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR).
Update November 21: Tim is making three portfolio changes today, Green Thumb Industries (GTBIF) is upgraded to Buy, MariMed (MRMD) is downgraded to Hold and Turning Point Brands (TPB) is upgraded to Buy, and the portfolio will now double its position in the stock.
Cabot Early Opportunities
Special Bulletin November 27: Small caps have been lagging, and have failed to return to their 2018 highs, for too long. If the asset class can get back in gear, Tyler will have more things working in the market for early-stage investors. Concurrently, he is seeing more strength in the IPO market too. The average gain across currently covered positions is 8%. That performance is twice what the broad market has delivered since we launched Cabot Early Opportunities in mid-September. So far, so good!
Monthly Issue November 20: In this Month’s Issue of Cabot Early Opportunities Tyler reveals a few tips to help you buy into IPOs at reasonable prices and he looks at some compelling data that suggests the 150 to 180 day period after IPO just might be one of the ideal times to buy. This month’s Top Pick is Livongo (LVGO), a $2.4 billion market cap company that specializes in Type 2 diabetes digital health management.

Monthly Issue November 20: So far, November’s markets have been a nice respite from the volatility of October, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average actually gained about 900 points. Investors—for the most part—seem to be ignoring China tariffs, impeachment hearings, and Brexit. And why not? After all, the economy remains strong and sentiment—as you’ll see in our Advisor Sentiment Barometer as well as in our Market Views—remains very bullish. Nancy begins this issue with CDW Corporation (CDW), a tech company that has successfully navigated the ever-changing technology world by adding new products—internally and by acquisition. Her feature article further explores the potential for this company to grab even more market share.
Ask the Experts
Cabot Growth Investor
Question: What do you think of some of the beaten-down names like Amazon (AMZN), Square (SQ) and even Zscaler (ZS) that are beginning to perk up? Are they the next to run?
Mike: Thanks for writing. Listen, it’s a bull market, so I would expect many names that have sat out the rally so far to possibly kick into gear. So I’m not negative, per se, on any of these; if the market continues higher they probably work well. That said, the bigger money is likely to be made in real leading stocks that have already moved to new highs (possibly buying them on normal pullbacks). Thus, if you want to trade some of these names, it could easily work, but we think the bigger money will be in the big swing, owning fresher leaders that were some of the first to emerge as the market did in October.
