In this week’s video, MIke discusses the market’s wild, news-driven action of the past week—he likes the market’s setup here given the multi-month correction and consolidation phase.

Thanks to OPEC, oil is back on the uptick. Should it last, you’ll want to own shares of one small cap value stock in particular.

Looking back at each of the past four decades, there was one sector that would have been the “home run” sector to be invested in. Other areas provided good returns to be sure, but certain ones were the most profitable.

If you’re seeking rapid growth, you might want to look at a company in the health industry that I featured it in Cabot Stock of the Month Report: Warner Chilcott (WCRX).

Cabot’s growth editors recently came up with a new list of our best stocks.

Today brings the third installment about my recent 17-day 4,218-mile road trip to and through the American Midwest and back—which I’m presenting not chronologically but thematically. Today’s theme is art, not least because my wife is an artist, and the one concrete reason for this trip was an opening reception at the “Minnesota Center for Book Arts” in which she had work.

The sudden market correction raises a lot of questions about where stocks go from here. So we asked our market guru Mike Cintolo for some guidance.

Tata Motors (TTM) is an Indian car and truck builder that manufactures an astonishing variety of vehicles.

I’m going to continue my chart series today with the #1 request among subscribers: How to sell better.

As someone with more than a decade’s worth of experience writing about individual investing for Forbes and now for the Cabot Green Investor--and investing for myself for longer--I’m excited by the profit potential not only from the companies capitalizing on the current regulations, but also the ones that stand to benefit from the $115.9 billion of U.S. economic stimulus money I calculate is going toward Green projects, from electric vehicle conversion funding to watershed protection projects to modernizing the electrical grid.

Back at the beginning of this email, I mentioned the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII). I’m a life member; they made me an offer I couldn’t refuse about a decade ago, and I expect to come out ahead on the deal. Anyway, AAII regularly tests investing systems to see which ones perform best, and over the long run, two systems stand head-and-shoulders above the rest. The first is the CANSLIM approach advocated by Investor’s Business Daily (IBD). The second is Martin Zweig’s system.

Planning a trip to go out West in advance has proved troublesome, as the flights keep getting moved around by the airline—causing me to sprout some gray hairs. To keep my mind off the stress caused by the constant changes, I’ve answered some of our reader’s most frequently asked questions.

WHAT TO DO NOW: After cracking on an intermediate-term basis last week, the market has been unable to find its footing this week despite some steps to secure the banking system. It’s not 2008 out there, and in fact, many growth stocks we own and are watching are still holding up well, but there’s no doubt the selling pressures out there are intense and haven’t let up. Tonight, we’re going to sell one-third of what’s left of our ProShares S&P Fund (SSO) position and our half position in Las Vegas Sands (LVS), which will leave us a cash position of around 66%.

One of the stocks recommended in the latest issue of Cabot Green Investor (which just came out last week) is in the business of developing technology that generates electricity from the movement of ocean waves, one of the most plentiful sources of energy on the planet.

Weight Watchers (WTW) looks good both fundamentally and technically.

Markets pulled back yesterday and the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all closed lower. A couple of our holdings were hit particularly hard, so I wanted to send a quick update on two of our positions even though I’m not recommending any action.

Back on August 13, when the broad market was strong and marijuana stocks were even stronger, I took partial profits in our four strongest stocks (which were also our four largest positions) because they looked very extended to the upside.

Porch (PRCH) reported its first quarter as a public company this week. The numbers are a little messy due to divestments and acquisitions over the last year, but the bottom line is that the quarter was good and the company is well-positioned for the year ahead. Making all the necessary adjustments, revenue in Q4 was up 34% to $19.5 million and up 28% to $73.2 million for the full year 2020.

A quick look through the major marijuana stocks leads to an unsurprising conclusion: the sector remains in a correction.
