DNY59 We previously covered Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) in January 2024, discussing why its streaming prospects might remain robust as the macroeconomic outlook lifted, significantly aided by the robust labor market as discretionary spending grew. Combined with the excellent FQ4’23 performance and impressive FQ1’24 guidance, the stock had also pulled forward part of its upside potential,…
jetcityimage Investment Thesis I last covered Snap-on (NYSE:SNA) in October last year. While the company was doing alright for some time, the stock has given up most of its gains after its recent earnings release. Snap-on Incorporated faced challenges related to customer demand changes, especially in its Tools business last quarter. However, I believe we…
Kawisara Kaewprasert Franklin Street Properties (NYSE:FSP) is a REIT focused on office properties in the U.S. that is currently trading much lower than its book value. In the last couple of months, the company’s stock price experienced a slow decline, making it more attractive for investors. The last time we have covered the company, we…
JimVallee Today, I would like to reassess the First Trust Value Line® Dividend Index Fund ETF (NYSEARCA:FVD), a smart-beta dividend ETF that favors low volatility and financial resilience. There are a few reasons why a fresh look is necessary. First, unlike a few ETFs that I have covered just recently, FVD takes a high-turnover approach,…
RichVintage/E+ via Getty Images It finally looks like the AI boom in investor buying of semiconductor equities is ready to roll over into a stretch of selling. Why? Sure, valuations and pricing have been reaching for ever higher extremes since last summer. My bearish view is an unexpected rise in inflation and interest rates into…
Viktor Aheiev/iStock via Getty Images At some point in my coverage of the SPDR® S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY, SP500), I stopped trying to time the market. The plethora of negative macro data and potential consequences I reported on in my bearish articles didn’t pan out in the end, and I decided to provide food…

Justin Sullivan Investment thesis The stock market continues growing impressively in 2024, with big tech and semiconductors continuing to fuel the rally. In my opinion, the greedier investors are, the higher is the probability of a stock market correction. Since growth stocks are usually more vulnerable to corrections, I am now looking at potential high-yield…
da-kuk December, last year I wrote an article on Horizon Technology Finance (NASDAQ:HRZN) laying out an argumentation of why, in my opinion, HRZN was not the right business development company, or BDC, pick. The key arguments were the following: Pure-play focus on VC-type companies, where a notable chunk of the portfolio is associated with very…
ronniechua Despite increased volatility and rolling corrections, the S&P 500/SPX (SP500) continues trading near its ATH. The SPX recently nailed a top of around 5,200, which is impressive considering the upside of approximately 27% since the October 2023 correction bottom, which occurred only about four months ago. If we disregard the 2023 correction, the SPX…
Justin Sullivan Systematic vs. Firm-specific The broad stock market, as proxied by the S&P 500 (SP500) is affected by two forces. First, there is the systematic risk, as related to the business cycle (growth, unemployment, inflation), which is generally managed by the Fed. Second, there are firm-specific or industry-specific events that generally affect only a…
georgeclerk/E+ via Getty Images Return Reaches Extreme The Thursday 105 point rally in the S&P 500 (SP500) pushed the collective returns over periods of 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 trading days to an extreme percentile of 0.992. This level has only been reached 0.8% of the time in the last 20 years. It’s certainly…
Alan Schein/The Image Bank via Getty Images Thesis The Manitowoc Company (NYSE:MTW) is currently experiencing headwinds from its EURAF segment due to softening demand in the European region, however, the robust growth in the MEAP segment and Americas segment is supporting the overall revenue and margin growth of the company. I anticipate that the company’s…
DNY59 The BlackRock Income Trust (NYSE:BKT) is a closed-end fund that income-seeking investors can employ as a method of achieving their goals. The fund’s current 8.80% yield certainly appears to render it quite competent in this area, as this is a higher yield than many bond funds possess today. This is especially true because this…
Alphotographic/E+ via Getty Images The August-2023 Correction Call vs. The December-2023 Downward-Ratchet Call Both Table1 and Table 2 are identical to each other, both have 10 days, dividing two parts: 5-6 days in 2023 and 4 days in 2024. We have 4 negatives in Table 1, printing one on Dec 29 in 2023, and 3…
Kirpal Kooner Main Thesis & Background The purpose of this article is to evaluate Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. (NYSE:MAA) as an investment option. The company is a “real estate investment trust that focuses on the acquisition, selective development, redevelopment, and management of multifamily homes throughout the Southeast, Southwest, and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States”….
ucpage Investment Rundown Investing in a pool company may seem quite niched right now, and I do tend to agree with that. Hayward Holdings Inc (NYSE:HAYW) has been rather volatile over the last 12 months but ultimately displayed an increase of above 48% for the stock price. However, it seems that revenues are quite suspectable…
Khosrork Is a stock market correction coming before the Santa Claus rally at the end of the year? It is a fascinating turn in sentiment, given that investors were convinced of the bear market’s return just a month ago. Now, investors are “making their list and checking it twice.” Given the 10% advance over the…
Mlenny/E+ via Getty Images UiPath (NYSE:PATH), a robotic process automation or RPA leader, presents a compelling case for an upgrade to a BUY rating, in our opinion, supported by its innovative AI-powered automation platform and encouraging projections for future growth. The stock has declined about 74% since our sell rating in June 2021 and underperformed…
salarko/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Since I last wrote about the fashion and accessories brand Hugo Boss (OTCPK:BOSSY) in early May, its price has declined by almost 7%. The article was titled “Good Performance, High P/E”, so it comes as no surprise that the price declined since, though it’s still up year-to-date [YTD]. Price Chart…
yangphoto Investment Rundown From my last publication about Eaton Corporation plc (NYSE:ETN), the share price has run up quite far, about 25% in the span of just a few months. Right now the company displays the valuation of a high-growth business with a p/e of over 27. The market has been very bullish on ETN…
SvetaZi The OPRA Investment Thesis Is More Convincing After The Deep Correction We previously covered Opera Limited (NASDAQ:OPRA) in July 2023, discussing the drastic decline in its stock prices as the news of the mixed shelf offering was released. We believed that the correction had been warranted, since the stock had traded at eye-watering valuations…
primeimages The “Market” S&P 500/SPX (SP500) faces another challenging, transitory hurdle. Recent economic data has been mixed, and interest rates remain high. There are questions about the Fed’s path and inflation, and there is plenty of uncertainty regarding the overall health of the U.S. economy and its path forward. Meanwhile, stocks have had a sensational…
While the BTC and Ether prices try to stabilize, altcoins like XRP, Cardano, Solana, and Polygon continue to extend losses further. Last week, the broader cryptocurrency market entered a sharp correction with the Bitcoin price breaking crucial support levels and falling down to $26,000. Along with Bitcoin, the broader crypto market entered into a steep…
SlavkoSereda/iStock via Getty Images It’s amazing how quickly things can change in the financial markets. Just a month ago, I cautioned that shares of Colombian glass and window manufacturer Tecnoglass (NYSE:TGLS) appeared to be fully valued ahead of a potential slowdown in the construction industry. Shares have since gotten walloped, with the stock dropping a…
Pgiam/iStock via Getty Images Introduction Last week the Trifecta Distribution Index [TDI] flashed a Correction Signal completely suddenly. Both the TDI and the SDI (the S&P 500 11-Sector Diffusion Index) have a Daily Signal. These two indices are not products of the time-series analysis such as econometric models, but a sort of a cross-section analysis…
