Cabot Weekly Review (Video)
In this week’s stock market video, Mike Cintolo discusses the market’s continued unraveling, with growth stocks leading the way lower and, this week, most of the market of the market joining the dip. There are some legitimate signs of puking out there, so time-wise, a workable low wouldn’t be surprising to see soon. But overall, Mike is letting others guess and predict what comes -- he’s remaining defensive while keeping his eyes open for stocks and themes that are starting to resist the selling.

Cabot Growth Investor
Special Bulletin January 21: Remain defensive. The market is getting hit again today, and while some stuff is putting up a fight, we’re forced to belatedly sell Floor & Décor (FND) to prevent a bad situation from getting much worse. Our cash position will now be in the high 60% range.
Bi-weekly Update January 20 :The market in general and growth stocks in particular are certainly “oversold” enough to bounce, but so far, every rebound of a few hours or couple of days leads to more selling. We’re still holding lots of cash, and while we are sitting our four remaining positions, but two are on tight leashes. Our only changes tonight are putting Arista Networks (ANET) and ProShares Ultra S&P 500 Fund (SSO) on Hold, but we’ll be on the horn if we have any other changes. Our cash position stands near 60%.
Bi-weekly Issue January 13: In our last issue we talked about the growing chasm between growth stocks and the rest of the market—basically the polar opposite of 2020—and said, “It’s always possible the wacky 2021 environment will continue, though we think the flip of the calendar should provide more clarity.” And so it did, in a bearish way—growth stocks keeled over in crash-like fashion even as many cyclical areas actually perked up.
Cabot Top Ten Trader
Movers & Shakers January 21: The market remains very weak, with growth stocks still leading the way lower, though the selling has been spreading to more nooks and crannies of the market. Coming into today, the S&P 500 is down nearly 4% on the week, while the Nasdaq is off 5% and growth-oriented funds and indexes are off 5% to 8%.
Weekly Issue January 18: Last Monday’s dramatic selloff and reversal smelled like a short-term low, but the sellers had other ideas—the bounce from that low lasted just a couple of days before the bears were back at it, with today’s decline further unraveling growth stocks. Mike’s Top Pick Teck Resources (TECK), which has huge earnings and just broke out of a big consolidation on huge volume. As with most names these days, try to buy on pullbacks.

Note that the current week’s Weekly Update, earnings updates, position updates and stocks on watch are posted on the website in the Market Update section, which is deleted each week.
Cabot Options Trader Basic & Pro Trade Alert January 21: Close Existing Position: Sell your Healthcare ETF (XLV) March 135 Call for $1.50 or more.
Cabot Options Trader Position Update January 20: Tomorrow is the expiration of our Devon Energy (DVN) January 43 Covered call. Before going into the details, I want to let you know that you won’t need to act on this position, and come Monday, we will walk away from our stock and option position, and our full profit.
Cabot Options Trader Stocks on Watch January 19: Yesterday was another rough day for the market as the selling continued in growth stocks, and then branched out to more and more stocks with “meat on the bone.” That included MRVL, which we sold for a profit of 137% for Cabot Options Trader, and 185% for Cabot Options Trader Pro. And while we didn’t top tick MRVL with our sale, a gain of over 100% on a position in this market is a nice win.
Cabot Options Trader Pro Trade Alert January 18: Close Existing Position: Sell your Marvell (MRVL) February 67.5/90 Bull Call Spread for $10.65 or more.
Cabot Options Trader Basic Trade Alert January 18: Close Existing Position: Sell your Marvell (MRVL) February 67.5 Calls for $11.80 or more
Cabot Options Trader Pro Weekly Review January 18: Long positions: CF, CGC, DT, DVN, FCX, F, JETS, MRVL, UBER, XLV.
Cabot Options Trader Basic Weekly Review January 18: With rising yields, rate hikes and inflation potentially increasing at the fastest rate in decades, the market struggled to make any headway for the second straight week.
Cabot Undervalued Stocks Advisor
Weekly Update January 19: We discuss why we are thinking about the risks of an economic recession, and provide updates on our recommended stocks.
Monthly Issue January 5: We comment on the abrupt shift in market sentiment in the past two weeks that is boosting the prices of our undervalued stocks, like Arcos Dorados (ARCO), up 17%, and Coca-Cola (KO) and Sensata Technologies (ST), which are reaching new all-time highs, relative to expensive hyper-growth stocks, as investors find that their healthy fundamentals haven’t been fully reflected in their share prices.
Cabot Stock of the Week
Weekly Issue January 18: Tim’s featured stock Oracle (ORCL), is the world’s largest database management company, with more than 430,000 customers in an incredible 170 plus countries. For close to half a century, the company has offered its software and more recently, cloud-engineered systems.
Cabot Explore
Bi-weekly Issue January 20: Carl’s new recommendation Exscientia (EXAI), is using artificial intelligence (AI) to develop new medicines and is attracting high quality partners. And the company is turning this into explosive growth.
Bi-weekly Update January 13: There is this widely held belief that January is a great month for investors. But I always throw cold water on this claim because the fact is, over the past 25 years, it’s been one of the worst months for stocks. During that span, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has produced a negative return more often than not in the month.
Cabot Small-Cap Confidential
Special Bulletin January 21: This has been another extremely challenging week. Yesterday the Nasdaq opened in the green and was up over 2% before selling off hard into the close. It ended down more than 1%. Today, the Nasdaq is toying with a somewhat key technical level at 14,000.
Weekly Update January 20: The real short version of what’s going on out there is … we’re officially in a bear market in growth. And it’s been particularly tough going in the super-fast-growing small-cap stock arena.
Monthly Issue January 6: Tyler’s new recommendation Xometry (XMTR) operates a digital marketplace that addresses many buyer and seller pain points in the archaic $260 billion industrial manufacturing industry. The AI-powered platform allows manufacturers to visit Xometry’s website, upload a 3D design (i.e., a CAD file) and retrieve an instant quote for the necessary parts from Xometry’s supplier network. Front door delivery and product quality are guaranteed.
Cabot Dividend Investor
Weekly Update January 19: So far, 2022 is crummy. The S&P 500 is down 4.5% for the year. Of the 11 S&P 500 sectors, 9 are in negative territory YTD. The worst-performing sector is technology, down 7%. The two positive sectors are energy and finance. The financial sector is just up slightly, but energy stocks are a whopping 17% higher in just the first two and a half weeks.
Monthly Issue January 12: Tom’s featured stock Global Ship Leasing (GSL) owns and charters containerships under fixed-rate charters to container shipping companies. The company deals in mid-size and smaller container ships, which are the workhorses of the main global containerized trade routes. Global is based in the Marshal Islands, with offices in London and Athens, and the stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange.
Cabot Marijuana Investor
Update January 12: In a recent update, I used the phrase, “It’s always darkest before the dawn,” as I reasoned that the marijuana sector’s dreadful performance in 2021 was likely the prelude to a well-deserved rebound in 2022. And the news is still pretty dark.
Monthly Issue December 29: This issue has all the stocks of the U.S. multistate operators rated buy, because Tim sees a good chance for a January rally, so feel free to buy a little here. But don’t go crazy; until we see real trends, we won’t know where we should focus our efforts. Tim does have one new addition, tailored for conservative investors; it’s ScottsMiracle-Gro (SMG), which we’ll take a 5% position in.
Cabot Early Opportunities
Special Bulletin January 21: Yesterday was an ugly day as the Nasdaq got off to a good start and was up more than 2% then faded, with the selling accelerating into the close. The index ended the day down more than 1% and today is toying with the somewhat critical 14,000 level.
Monthly Issue January 20: We’re officially in a bear market in growth. Stocks of good companies have consistently failed to hold at expected support zones and trading patterns have completely disconnected from company-specific factors. It’s all about Omicron/Covid, interest rates, inflation and the potential market impacts of a dozen other risks. Tyler’s top pick is Airbnb (ABNB).
Cabot Profit Booster
Update January 21: 2022 has gotten off to a rough start for the bulls as growth stocks have gone through a mini-crash, and of late the selling has moved to the rest of the market. Whether this is the start of a real market correction, or simply a normal pullback, is anyone’s guess. Regardless, because we are selling calls to lower our breakeven on our stock purchases, the Profit Booster portfolio has held up much better than the overall market.
Weekly Issue January 19: With rising yields, rate hikes and inflation potentially increasing at the fastest rate in decades, the market struggled to make any headway for the second straight week. Jacob’s new stock recommendation is Teck Resources (TECK).
Cabot Micro-Cap Insider
Weekly Update January 19: As we get towards the end of January, the biggest thing on my mind is the pullback in growth stock. It has been remarkable. According to J.P. Morgan and Bloomberg, the software index is down ~22% from its peak.
Monthly Issue January 12: Rich’s new recommendation NexPoint Diversified Real Estate Trust (NXDT), is a closed end fund that is transitioning into a real estate investment trust (REIT). It trades at a 40% discount to NAV and is significantly below where it traded pre-pandemic. Once the transition to REIT is complete, it will be eligible for many more investors to own including funds and ETFs. This will likely drive indiscriminate buying pressure.
Cabot Income Advisor
Weekly Update January 19: The indexes plummeted on rising rate worries and disappointing Goldman Sachs (GS) earnings. The benchmark 10-year Treasury rate soared to 1.85 on Tuesday. That’s the highest level since the pandemic began and up from 1.34% as recently as last month.
Monthly Issue November 24: This great and epoch market recovery might be finally running out of gas. The S&P 500 is up over 100% since the bottom in March 2020. That means the market has gained as much value since that bottom as it had accumulated from the beginning of time until March of last year. It’s also up about 40% from the high before the pandemic and 10% just since early October. Such returns simply cannot continue.
Cabot Turnaround Letter
Weekly Update January 21: The Friday note and podcast highlights includes comments on earnings from Baker Hughes (BKR) and our related price target increase, updates on Credit Suisse (CS) and Wells Fargo & Company (WFC), and some thoughts on cryptocurrencies and the current burndown in momentum stocks like Peloton (PTON) and Netflix (NFLX).
Monthly Issue December 29: This month’s issue includes our Top Five Stocks for 2022, our annual market review and outlook for 2022, as well as our update on the bankruptcy and high-yield bond markets. We add Brookfield Asset Management Reinsurance Partners Ltd (BAMR), an under-appreciated recent spin-off, as a new Buy.
Ask the Experts
Cabot Turnaround Letter
Question: Any Idea why NOK has been declining , especially this week?
Bruce: Much of Nokia stock’s recent weakness is due to the broad weakness in all tech-related stocks. Many investors treat NOK like any regular tech stock, and it is likely held in many tech and non-tech mutual funds, ETFs and such.
Fundamentally, Nokia as a company is in good shape and continues to improve. They recently provided an encouraging update on 2022, supporting our thesis. The valuation remains quite attractive. Our favorable view on Nokia has not wavered at all.
