Could This Be the Next Catalyst to Drive the Stock Market Higher?
Last week's holiday-shortened week saw a mix of ups and downs as investors questioned the strength of the reflation trade. Longer-dated yields sank, driven by fears of a risk-off environment, and the S&P 500 (SPY) looked to close down for the week for the first time in three weeks until a rally on Friday drove the markets to new records. This week, I expect to see some possible volatility as investors react to more economic data releases. Still, looking at the big picture, the next catalyst for the markets is earnings season, which starts tomorrow with the release of earnings reports for banks. I will preview earnings season and what that means for our portfolio, but first, let's look at the markets since Wednesday. Read on below…
3 Better Internet Stocks to Buy Than Newegg
Shares of Newegg Commerce (NEGG) were up big last week as another case of retail traders on Reddit pushing up the price of a stock. While NEGG isn't a bad company, this performance doesn't line up with its fundamentals. Which is why David Cohne is recommending other internet stocks such as Alphabet (GOOGL), Facebook (FB), Yelp (YELP).

Oil prices have been soaring this year as the global economy reopened. The rise in oil has driven energy stock prices up as well. The current dip in prices and a strong outlook presents a great buying opportunity to pick up shares of Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) and EOG Resources (EOG).
3 Must Buy Warren Buffet Inspired Stocks for July

Target (TGT), Foot Locker (FL), and Williams-Sonoma (WSM) are three Buffet inspired stocks are better buys right now.
What To Expect from the Stock Market in Q3 and Beyond
The S&P 500 (SPY) finished the first six months of the year with the best first-half finish since the dot com bubble days. The index gained 14.4%. The market was driven by COVID vaccinations that allowed the economy to reopen again as trillions in fiscal stimulus helped create demand. Even with concerns over inflation, the market continued to surge higher. But these significant gains combined with a more hawkish Federal Reserve has made some investors concerned that the Fed will pull the trigger sooner than expected, which could cause stocks to fall. I don't share that opinion, and I will tell you why in my six-month outlook. But first, let's recap the markets in the past week. Read on below…
Will Bullish Momentum Drive the Stock Market Higher in July?
The major market indexes continue to hit new closing highs as new catalysts are moving the market forward. While the overall market was mixed in May, bullish momentum has driven stocks higher as we hit the mid-year point. Both the S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq ended yesterday at fresh record highs as investors remain positive regarding the bipartisan infrastructure proposal and assurances from the Fed that rates will stay low for the time being. I will dig deeper into what that means for the markets. But first, let's recap the past week. Read on below…

3 Health Insurance Stocks That are Better Buys Than Clover Health
One of the most popular meme stocks this week, Clover Health (CLOV) saw huge gains mid-week as retail traders on Reddit pushed up its price in response to a short squeeze.

Could the Fed’s Rate Reversal Lead to More Volatility in the Stock Market?
Inflation has become a recurring theme in my comments due to a notable rise in inflation metrics and how they have affected the S&P 500 (SPY). The Fed has consistently spoken of inflation being transitory over the past couple of months, which has resulted in investors becoming less concerned over higher prices. But it appeared that the Fed reversed course as it is now, indicating it would raise rates ahead of schedule. This created more volatility in the markets leading to a tough day on Friday. But, if you look closer at their remarks, not everything is as it seems. I will expand on my point below. But first, let's recap the past week in the markets. Read on below…
