How Long Will the Current Market Roller Coaster Continue?
Market conditions in 2022 are dramatically different than what we encountered in 2021. Only time will tell if this is a correction or a bear market, but it’s beyond obvious that this is more than a garden-variety dip. In today’s commentary, I want to discuss why I think the near-term outlook for the S&P 500 (SPY) remains risky and what it would take to change that opinion. Then I want to discuss the changes in our strategy. Read on below to find out more…

What the Recent Sell-off Tells Us and What’s Next?
Last week, we discussed that certain parts of the market were in rough shape, specifically growth stocks with high-multiples. Fortunately for us, we’ve totally avoided these stocks as the POWR Ratings universally hates this category of stocks rendering them untouchable for the POWR10 portfolio (and all other POWR Ratings-derived tools and services). But, we also discussed that persistent weakness in these groups could also start infecting the broader market and our portfolio. This scenario is materializing, and I think there could be more near-term damage. Today’s commentary will focus on this bearish development, and how we will turn it into an opportunity.

3 Reasons to LOVE Stocks Under $10
The stock market can be a brutal place. Far too often, today’s winners will turn into tomorrow’s losers. Just think of all the excitement generated by stocks like Peleton, Zoom, and Teladoc. These stocks soared higher in 2020 and the early parts of 2021 only to crumble in recent months, punishing those who were greedy and overstayed their welcome. But, the opposite is also true.

How Long Will the Current Stock Market Volatility Continue?
What’s Good: Our portfolio is outperforming the market by a significant degree. What’s Bad: There’s a shakiness to the market with the most likely catalyst being persistent and entrenched inflation which is leading to a more hawkish Fed. What’s Ugly: Growth stocks. Specifically, the speculative, high-multiple ones. So today’s commentary is going to focus on these 3 facets, where I will provide more context and dig deeper. Then, we will reexamine our overall strategy and make some necessary adjustments given these developments. Read on below to find out more…
How Long Will the Tricky Markets of Last Year Persist Into 2022?
2021 was a tricky year for investors, somewhat belied by the S&P 500’s (SPY) double-digit gains. But a deeper look shows that very few stocks or sectors enjoyed smooth moves higher like what we saw for much of 2020. Instead, it was a year of rotations. Sharp moves higher followed by deep pullbacks. Also a year of reversion with some of the biggest winners of the past decade taking a backseat to some of the biggest underperformers of the last decade. In today’s commentary, I want to talk about why this dynamic will persist for the next couple of months and our optimal strategy. Then, I want to zoom in a bit on the short-term setup. Read on below to find out more…
3 Undervalued Energy Stocks to Buy as Oil Approaches $80
Given strong demand and years of underinvestment in new production, energy stocks are likely to keep outperforming in 2022. Many have very favorable valuations, and value stocks tend to outperform in environments with rising rates and growth. Therefore, investors should consider buying TransGlobe Energy (TGA), Apache (APA), and Ovintiv (OVV).
A Strong but Rocky Start for the Stock Market in 2022
The past couple of days have been rough for the market largely due to the Fed's hawkish turn and a big selloff in some of the more rate-dependent parts of the market. As we've discussed in the past, these environments pose a tough headwind for low-priced stocks as they are very sensitive to swings in liquidity. However, our portfolio is up 3% on the year compared to a 2.5% drop for the S&P 500 (SPY). The major factor is that one of our positions got bought out, sending it higher by 25%. Another is that we've overallocated to material stocks which have also outperformed. In this week's commentary, I will review the recent market action and then provide some more color on my outlook for next year. Read on below to find out more…
