Just Because It’s Unusual Doesn’t Mean It’s Wrong
The year is just over two weeks old, but we’ve already been subject to the Iran attacks, a Phase 1 trade deal with China, and soon, an impeachment trial in the Senate. Accompanying those are countless pieces...

From Cabot Top Ten Trader
Bigger picture, we think the past few months of strong, persistent market action bodes well down the road. A (very simple) study we did yesterday looked back at other times that, for the first time in at least six (a)...

Remain bullish, but keep your wits about you. The market remains very strong, and we’re glad to see many of our stocks that consolidated during December come to life in recent days.

Short-term, the market remains under pressure, buffeted by the selling of investors scared by the prospects of an extended tariff war, but long-term, the trend remains up, so we still see the current weakness as a normal correction.

Happy New Year
The calendar has flipped to 2020, but nothing much has changed with the market’s evidence. On a longer-term basis, most primary indicators, such as our Cabot Trend Lines and Cabot Tides, continue to look great, and we’ve written numerous times a..

Remain bullish. The bull market rolls on, and while there are legitimate shorter-term yellow flags (a good reason to be choosy on the buy side), the big-picture outlook is solid. We have no changes in the Model Portfolio today.

As for the market, it continues to act very well amidst a vacuum of selling pressure. As we write this, the S&P 500 (up 1.2% or so) and Nasdaq (up 1.8%) are solidly in the green, and small- and mid-cap indexes have actually a..

The week started out relatively quietly, with the major indexes basically meandering sideways through Wednesday, even after the Federal Reserve’s statement. But since Thursday morning, things have been whipping around (mostly on the upside) as it appears a U.S.-China trade deal/truce is at hand.

Remain bullish, while keep your eyes open as some stocks have hit potholes. The market itself is in good shape, though we continue to think some news-driven ups and downs are likely in the near term.

A Normal Breather
As the market pushed sharply higher following its early-October low (10% or so in the S&P 500, 12%-plus in the Nasdaq), rising seven out of eight weeks, the worries of the world (trade wars, slowing economic growth, even impeachment) were slowly As...

As we wrote a week and a half ago, there’s no Top Ten issue today—one of our two weeks off (50 issues a year). But we don’t want to be too out of touch, which is why we’re sending this brief update today, on...
