• Portfolio Stock Summary
LGI Homes (LGIH) is rapidly approaching price resistance at 75, where the stock could pause or pull back below 65, depending on the temperament of the broader stock market. I’m therefore moving the stock from Strong Buy to a Buy recommendation. Unless the earnings outlook improves, I will remove LGIH from the Growth Portfolio as it nears its February all-time high of 95. Buy.
Voya Financial (VOYA) appears ready to begin a new run-up, mirroring the price charts of many investment and insurance/annuity companies’ price charts, and also that of the S&P 500. I’m therefore moving VOYA from Buy to a Strong Buy recommendation for growth investors and traders. Strong Buy.
