Today’s note includes earnings updates on Macy’s (M) and the podcast. There were no ratings changes this past week. Also, a few scheduling changes as the CTL is on vacation next week.

This week only four companies reported earnings. As your chief analyst is traveling this week, there is no podcast.

I’m sending this week’s update out a day early because I have a window to work now with the kids somewhat entertained with Christmas presents. And it’s always nice not to load up our team with communications the day before a holiday (Cabot is closed Friday).

We have four earnings reports from last night to get to today (ARNA, APPF, RPAY, SPT). Right now, I’m getting the first two out and will follow up with the other two shortly.

Marijuana is still far from universally accepted, and until it is, the sector will continue to have great growth potential. That’s how investing works.

Profit taking finally set in earlier this week, though this morning’s jobs-inspired pop has erased the losses for the major indexes.

It’s been a relatively quiet week for the major indexes, which is fine by us given the prior five-week run-up. As we write this morning, the Nasdaq is about flat on the week on below-average volume, while the S&P 500 is off a touch.

The market has been changing faster than the weather here in the northeast. And like any big change it’s been a bit tough to navigate.

The major indexes have had a solid week thus far, with most major indexes up 1.5% to 2.5% after this morning’s modest jobs report bounce.

Today, I’m adding Barrick Gold (GOLD). The company engages in the exploration, mine development, production, and sale of gold and copper properties

Relatively new in the investing space, yieldcos give income investors a great way to participate in the renewable energy market.

Small-cap stocks have underperformed of late. That’s likely to change – soon. When it does, you’ll want to own this ETF and these two stocks.

Ahead of the long holiday weekend the market had yet another good week. The S&P 500 gained 1.75%, the Dow rallied 1.5%, and the Nasdaq rose another 1.9%.

This week in an attempt to diversify the portfolio we are adding an energy play.

What started out looking like another positive week for the market later turned into a week of little gains or losses, as economic data and Fed speak weighed on stocks on Thursday and Friday. For the week the S&P 500 and Dow fell marginally, while the Nasdaq rose just over 0.5%.

Cannabis-friendly states are showing strong sales growth while legalization progresses and states tamp down on the illicit markets.

The sharp dip that started late last week continued early in the week, but since then the market has stabilized somewhat—as of Friday morning (after Fed chief Powell started to speak, with what most see as some hawkish words), the major indexes are down in the 2% range, and, looking at their charts, the pullbacks to this point have been sharp but normal, with most hanging around their rising 25-day lines and still 3% to 4% above their rising 50-day lines. Yes, things could change, but the action to this point keeps the intermediate-term trend pointed up.

Cabot Wealth Network has seen it all after more than 50 years in the business, and we’ve found that these three habits are the keys to investing success.

Despite a concerning start to the week for the bulls, Friday’s big rally provided some hope that the market could get back in gear. By week’s end the S&P 500 had lost 0.8%, the Dow had fallen 1.24%, and the Nasdaq had gained 0.07%.
