Baby Steps
Three weeks ago, growth stocks were in ruins, and we don’t think that’s much of an exaggeration—while the Nasdaq was only 8.5% off its high, things like the Russell 2000 Growth Fund (IWO), which we write about later in this issue, sat than...

Biding our Time
It’s been a downer of a three months for growth stocks, so we want to start with a positive note, partially in response to some worried questions we’ve started to get as the sellers really dug in their heels last week: term,...

This may just go down on record as one of the worst earnings seasons ever for growth stocks. Two weeks ago, things were “fine.” Since May began, not. Inflation is the bogeyman spooking investors and his shadow has crept out from below desks up...

Seeing More Setups, but Still in the Spin Cycle
Two-plus months ago, speculation was running rampant and most growth stocks had made giant moves over the prior six to nine months. So when the sellers finally stepped up and cracked the intermediate-term uptrend in growth...

Sellers Fading—but Will the Buyers Show Up?
We’re all about going with the evidence, and when it comes to growth stocks, the evidence was nearly uniformly negative (or at least not positive) for most of the past month. The vast majority of leading stocks, many...

Less is More
In the real world, persistence is almost always associated with good things. If you’re a salesperson, you don’t give up when a few accounts turn you down; you keep selling until one customer bites. If your team is developing a new they...
