Current Market Outlook


After another week of major selling in the market (the S&P 500 is down 8% this month, while the Nasdaq is off 10.3%), there’s not much left to say except the obvious—the sellers remain in control of nearly every stock and sector, and thus we continue to advise a highly defensive stance. Of course, the market is also very oversold, and at some point there will be a snapback rally (likely to last more than just a few days) that will take the indexes and many stocks higher. But until we see some definitive signs of support, it’s best to stay mostly on the sideline and wait patiently for legitimate set-ups to occur.

This week’s list has a variety of resilient names; some are defensive, some have solid growth stories and others are special situations. Our Top Pick is Chuy’s Holdings (CHUY), a small (and thinly traded) cookie-cutter story whose stock has been amazingly resilient this month.
