One of our big initiatives at Cabot this year was to start incorporating video into our content. Most of our video push has been in the form of Webinars, or online seminars, hosted by our editors.

The Cabot philosophy is our growth investing rules that we’ve fine-tuned over 40 years.

Sometimes it’s the things you don’t do as an investor that determine your success or failure.

This August, we’re staging Cabot Investment Conference, a three-day chance for our subscribers to meet all of our editors.

You should instead fall in love with your portfolio performance.

A year ago, I recommended a cloud software stock to my subscribers that’s up 60% since. Here’s what it is, and what it does.

Today I’m proud to announce the addition of two well-respected newsletters to the Cabot Family of investment advisories, Dick Davis Digest and its companion, Income Digest.

A new bull market is emerging, and the rally could last years even though stocks are already at all-time highs. Here are 10 reasons why.

Getting to the market today—first we had the August 24 bottom, a month later we had the retest, and now we’ve got a rally that, while it’s not perfect, is certainly creating some winners. I think selective buying is okay. But what to buy? For my money, there are two methods of stock-picking that tend to work.

This list of the best investment sites to research stocks aims to help individual investors navigate the sea of stock-related information.

Another Fed rate hike is on the near horizon. Before it happens, you should buy these three stocks in this red-hot sector.

For some time I’ve felt that we should be bumping up the upper end of our market cap range since the market’s evolution, and rising share prices, has made for somewhat slim pickings for high growth names in the under $3 billion market cap range. That is the rough upper end that I’ve been holding to for many years.

The big-picture story out there continues to be the battle between bad news (rising infections, high unemployment, too many crumbling businesses) and good news (progress toward vaccines, therapeutics, etc.; accommodative policies from the Fed; improving fundamentals for some businesses arising from the pandemic). Then there’s all the uncertainty around the upcoming election that further confounds the mind.

Stay cautious for now as we wait to see whether growth stocks can find their footing (which they’ve done for a couple days in a row now).

On a recent visit to meet Syracuse University journalism students, I expected long faces and a lot of pessimism. But instead I was greeted with excitement about online media and the way it will not only help continue the tradition of journalism, but will actually improve the craft. This gave me hope that while print newspapers may be on the way out (see the recent news of the New York Times threatening to shutter the Boston Globe), I have no doubt that journalism will continue in one form or another. And that’s a very good thing, in my book (or blog).

We’re all familiar with the story about the frog. If you drop him in boiling water, he’ll jump right out. But if you put him in cold water and then heat it to boiling, he’ll adjust gradually to the increasing temperature, be lulled into inaction, and die. It’s not true; the frog will eventually jump out. But as a cautionary tale, it reminds us that we should be wary of inaction in response to gradual changes in our environment. In other words, as change happens--and it happens every day--you must adapt. If not, you’ll fail to thrive. So today I want to mention six major changes in our own environments, and discuss how we might adapt to them, and profit from them.

While the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues to add a huge amount of uncertainty in global markets we now have a little more clarity on the interest rate environment here in the U.S. after the Fed hiked rates by a quarter point yesterday.

Remain bullish, while keep your eyes open as some stocks have hit potholes. The market itself is in good shape, though we continue to think some news-driven ups and downs are likely in the near term.
