Not surprisingly, this week wasn’t a great one for our portfolio. I had a feeling the party was winding down last week, when we had an average gain of 105% going and had just seen our stocks pop an average of 6% over five days.

With the stock market near all-time highs, there aren’t many good undiscovered stocks out there. Here are three small caps that look promising.

You’ve probably heard of the term 5G technology. But have you heard of these 3 5G technology REITs? They’re the best way to play the 5G boom.

2022 has gotten off to a rough start, but corrections and bear markets can quickly put high-quality companies in oversold conditions. These mid-cap stocks are three such companies.

Business development companies are a great place to find high yields. Here are three worth buying now, according to Bob Ciura of Sure Dividend.

While the market hangs on every word from the Fed and the headlines are full of stories about inflation and the debt ceiling, there’s an ongoing megatrend set to drive these stocks higher.

While my heart is with growth stocks, there’s no question that many commodity stocks are doing well. My bias against them at this time is that most lack any sort of sales or earnings growth. And my own experience investing in shrinking or money-losing operations, frankly, is not good. I usually lose money when I toil in such fundamentally unsound stocks. However, I’m also a tape-reader, and some of the best price-volume patterns today are found in a few commodity names, so I’m going to give you a few stock ideas, and let you decide what to do with them.

Last Friday, while the Dow was dropping 250 points, I took a look at the new highs list. I found 34 stocks, many of them too illiquid and some too stodgy, but one in particular that interests me. It’s Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (RDY), a major Indian pharmaceutical maker.

A few weeks ago, I wrote here about investing in master limited partnerships, or MLPs, and invited you to send in your questions about owning MLPs. (You can read the original article here if you missed it.) The tax issues surrounding these high-yield investments can get pretty complicated,...

Most of the market’s biggest winners get going in a real powerful way four to six weeks (a couple of weeks for a buy signal ... plus another two to four weeks after that) after the market has bottomed. Many times, the investor who rushes to be the first to buy after the market bottom will miss out on the real leaders, instead buying what he thinks are the real leaders. That’s why, in the stock market as in life, patience is a virtue.

Cabot Benjamin Graham Value Letter, launched in 2003, uses the teachings of Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing, in a system that safely builds long-lasting wealth. Unlike Cabot’s growth publications, the letter doesn’t use market timing, instead relying on a 76-year-old system, followed by investors such as billionaire Warren Buffett, to pick undervalued stocks and hold them as they reach a specified valuation.

I recently received a question from a reader asking about some of the terms we use when writing about investing. I’ll bet the questioner isn’t the only reader who’s confused about some of our investing terminology. So today I’m going to rundown a list of terms that appear frequently in our writing.

After a rough week last week small caps have bounced back over the last two sessions and have the potential to close at a three-week high today. I’d like to see the S&P 600 Index close back above 1230 (at 1224 now) before turning more bullish.

Last week I ran a quiz here, which was designed to give me a better picture of exactly who you are.

With Thanksgiving and a long holiday weekend coming up, it’s a good time to do a little “self scouting.”

If you’re being battered by all the negative headlines, don’t despair. Remember that your goal is to make money, not to always be correct, and so you should be focusing on future opportunities.

To the next president, I would say this: Get the financial system back on track by setting an example for the American people. Instead of spending more than you have, live within your means, save money for a rainy day and invest in the future. Nearly every presidential candidate says he is going to reduce spending and balance the budget, and some have done better than others once elected, but now, perhaps more than ever, we need the government to get spending under control.

Welcome to this week’s Cabot Macro Investor update.

I’m joking. We’re still all about small-cap stocks. But now that earnings season is over it’s all about the macro again. So we’ve got to address it.

In the second half of July, I felt like we were due for a pullback.
