That famous futures trader Marc Antony famously said "Beware the Ides of April." Okay, the guy had a mixed performance record. Short Brutus but long Cleopatra. But his advice about April 2019 is good. The Ides of April fall on the 13th of the month. And what promises...

For Digital Realty Trust (DLR), a REIT that owns 198 data centers in 32 metropolitan areas with 2,300 customers, the case for stable earnings growth--one of my criteria for stocks to own during the earnings recession that's looming for 2019--is pretty solid. The...

Today February 27 I'm adding Wal-Mart (WMT) to my Jubak Picks Portfolio and making it the sixth pick in my Special Report: 10 stocks for an earning recession. Only 25% of Wal-Mart's revenue currently come from outside the United States--a plus in view of my projection...
February 25, 2019 | Daily JAM, DHR, Stock Alerts |
I had some doubts about adding Danaher (DHR) to my Special Report: 10 picks for an earnings recession. Did the stock have enough of a catalyst to carry it upward during the slowdown in earnings predicted for at least the first three quarters of 2019? Yes, the company...

If politicians are to be believed Vulcan Materials (VMC) would be my perfect earnings recession stock. Revenue and earnings look on a steady uphill trend in 209, after carving out that track in 2018. The company's business is almost totally domestic. And there's even...

The U.S. stock market is worried about an economy recession--two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth--and an earnings recession--two consecutive quarters of negative growth for the stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500. Neither is certain. But of the two an...

Is the bear market over? And if it is, what stocks should you target as "best buys." The first is a really, really tough question to answer now. News of new efforts to stimulate economic growth in China helped push the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index over...

This Special Report was revised--extensively- on December 21. When I posted the first version of this Special Report back in November, the bear market was just a possibility--although a highly likely possibility--and my best projection on how the market would develop...

$23 trillion. It's a big enough number to get my attention. On Monday, December 10, 415 investment managers, pension funds, and insurers, told the ministers gathered for the United Nations climate summit in Katowice, Poland, that the world faces a financial crash...
