Now It’s Time for the Stock Market to Really Shine
For the past few weeks, there’s been a persistent headwind in the S&P 500 (SPY) that was unfavorable for growth stocks, particularly small and mid-cap selections. This risk-off mood was also manifested in plunging long-term yields, underperformance in cyclical stocks, and some profit-taking in overextended stocks and sectors. Fortunately, this headwind has tamped down, enabling some of our growth stocks to really shine. It’s not like small and mid-cap stocks have started outperforming as we would ideally like to see…but they’re no longer underperforming in the concerning way that they were for the last few weeks. I believe the major catalyst has been earnings season as small-caps and mid-caps have outperformed expectations. In this week’s commentary, I will do a recap of earnings season.

3 Very Cheap Energy Stocks to Buy on the Dip
There are some compelling reasons to buy the dip in energy stocks. For one, CAPEX in the energy sector remains quite low despite the rebound in price. Additionally, demand for oil and natural gas has proven to be quite resilient over the past year despite the shutdowns and decrease in economic activity. Therefore, investors should look to add the following energy stocks: Oasis Petroleum (OAS), Apache Corporation (APA), and Continental Resources (CLR).

How Long Will the Market Tug of War Continue?
“In the short-run, the stock market is a voting machine. Yet, in the long-run, it is a weighing machine.” - Warren Buffett. It’s always good to periodically revisit this quote, especially when the S&P 500 (SPY) is challenging. And, we are certainly in one of those times with a constant tug of war going on between various bullish and bearish forces. I’m confident that ultimately the bullish forces of earnings growth and low rates will overwhelm the bearish forces of another coronavirus outbreak, overvaluation in pockets of the market, the market being overbought, and excess bullish sentiment. However, it’s becoming clear that this tug-of-war is still ongoing and could last for a few more weeks. In this week’s commentary, I want to share my thinking on this matter and its impact on our market outlook. Read on below to find out more…

How Earnings and the Fed Will Impact the Stock Market
This week has been action packed. On Tuesday, we had market heavyweights Apple and Microsoft reporting earnings. Yesterday, we had a FOMC meeting and Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference. Finally, it seems that Senate Republicans, Senate Democrats, and the White House have come to an agreement on an infrastructure package that will get more than 60 votes. Given this flurry of news, it’s only fitting that the S&P 500 (SPY) would close yesterday with a -0.02% loss. So far, this earnings season is also coming in quite strong, although some companies have issued outlooks that were below expectations. In this week’s commentary, we will preview earnings and update our market outlook. Read on below to find out more…

Who Wins the Stock Market Tug of War?
Last week, we noted some signs that the market could be ready to move lower. Between last Wednesday and Monday’s low, the S&P 500 (SPY) declined by 3.5%. Over the last couple of days, we’ve bounced back and made up the bulk of these losses. As noted in previous commentaries, there’s a tug of war going on between the various bullish and bearish forces in the market. On the bearish side, we have a market with weak breadth, concerns about the Delta variant, and signs that growth may have peaked. On the bullish side, we have low rates, an expanding economy, and expectations of more earnings growth over the next 12 months. So far, this earnings season is also coming in quite strong, although some companies have issued outlooks that were below expectations. In this week’s commentary, we will preview earnings and update our market outlook. Read on below to find out more…
