Stock Market Bull Bear Stocks Investing Investor ThePBR1000 ThePBR25

At the start of Week 19 of 2022 The Stock Market Bear made sure everyone knew he meant business, gets his 6th straight outright weekly victory.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 19 Summary:

The Stock Market Bear came out strong from start to end on Monday of Week 19. The daily battle continued on Tuesday with a slight mixed 2-1 edge for The Stock Market Bull as he announced that he still had some life left in him. Wednesday belonged to The Stock Market Bear as he took a bite out of each of the US major stock indices. The Thursday battle was similar to Tuesday but with The Stock Market Bear getting the slight mixed 2-1 result by slim margins. The Stock Market Bull pulled out a strong Friday to end the week, balancing out the losses from Wednesday, but not even close to also overtaking Monday’s significant losses. Week 19 belongs to The Stock Market Bear who notches his 6th straight weekly 3-0 outright win and increases his lead year-to-date.

Influences/News:

  • Russia‘s artillery units continue to destroy Ukrainian towns. Ukraine countermeasures also appear to be doing well as they recapture some lost areas in the north. Last Sunday the G7 group of democracies express unanimous support of Ukraine, pledge to cut Russia oil imports and adds more restrictions and sanctions against Russia and many of its oligarchs. Russia’s annual “Victory Day” celebration of its defeat of Nazi Germany at the end of World War II was also supposed to be a celebration of its conquest of Ukraine, but falls far short. US President Biden signs the “Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022” that allows the US to provide military equipment, encourages the US Congress to approve an additional $40 billion Ukraine aid package.  The US House passes the bill with strong bipartisan support, but it is delayed in the US Senate because Senator Paul Rand wants additional language in the bill to provide oversight. Passage with bipartisan support is expected next week. Because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine the bordering countries of Finland and Sweden are pursuing joining NATO, which requires a consensus among the 30 member countries. However, Turkey’s President Erdogan has indicated he might possibly veto the request because of Sweden and Finland’s support of the Kurds which Turkey regards as a terrorist organization.
  • S Korea installs Yoon Suk-yeol as its 20th President, a 5 year single term position.
  • Staunch China supporter and ex-security chief John Lee is elected Chief Executive of Hong Kong in a closed election with only one candidate.
  • Highly regarded Palestinian-American Shireen Abu Akleh, a longtime journalist for Al Jazeera, is killed during a skirmish between Palestinians and Israeli military forces during a raid in the West Bank city of Jenin. Israel is blamed for the killing, but Israel says she was killed by Palestinian fire. The autopsy by Palestinians is closed. Additional deaths occur during some violence during her funeral procession.
  • In COVID-19 news China continues to enforce lockdowns in Shanghai during the current COVID-19 outbreak. N Korea records for the first time some deaths and the rapid spread of a COVID-19 outbreak. US President Biden urges the world to renew its fight against COVID-19 as the US nears one million deaths from the virus.
  • US President Biden’s administration unveils actions to address the baby formula shortage.
  • The US Senate confirms Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for a second term.
  • Last Saturday 80-1 longshot Rich Strike comes from behind to win the 148th running of the Kentucky Derby horse race, the first leg of the Triple Crown. However, his owners have decided to skip the Preakness, the second leg of the Triple Crown, to rest him and prepare him for the Belmont Stakes, the third leg of The Triple Crown.

The Week 18 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

The Week 18 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Stocks Investing Investor ThePBR1000 ThePBR25

Week 18: For the third week in a row The Stock Market Bull has the lead on Thursday, then The Stock Market Bear crushes him on Friday to get the win.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 18 Summary:

In Week 18 The Stock Market Bull, anxious to get back into the win column, had a very nice Monday, followed by an okay Tuesday. On Wednesday, after the press conference with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, investors had a collective sigh of relief and The Stock Market Bull took a huge leap up. But Thursday it became a little bit like buyer’s remorse. The Stock Market Bear charged into the pasture and almost wiped out all of the weekly gains. Like a matador, on Friday all The Stock Market Bear had to do was put his big paw on The Stock Market Bull‘s nose and sure enough, he toppled over bloodied, exhausted, and near death. For the third week in a row The Stock Market Bear comes from behind on Friday to take the week. With his Week 18 win The Stock Market Bear also becomes a five weeks in a row outright victor. Can The Stock Market Bull be revived?

Influences/News:

  • The main news item for the week was the result of the US Federal Open Market Committee’s decision on Wednesday to hike the short term federal funds interest rate by 0.50% making the rate now at 0.75% to 1.00%. It also announced plans to phase in a selloff of its $9 trillion bonds stockpile starting in June 2022. It was also announced that they do not intend to do a 0.75% increase in an effort to control inflation. Finally, they indicated that they believe they can use their tools to have a soft economic landing and avoid a dreaded recession.
  • Russia continues to pound away at the eastern part of Ukraine, making slow progress.  Ukraine claims that they have retaken some of the eastern areas. The United Nations and humanitarian relief agencies were able to get an agreement to evacuate several civilian survivors  from the strategic port city of Mariupol who were holed up in the expansive Azovstal steel plant. Ukraine defenders refuse to surrender and vow to fight to the death as the over 2 months attack continues. The European Union is proposing a ban on Russian crude oil imports to be effective within 6 months. Poland raises $6.5 billion in humanitarian aid by hosting an international donor conference. US President Biden announces an additional $150 million in additional aid for a security package. The Ukrainian cabinet is putting together a postwar rebuilding plan as its president Zelenskyy appeals to Western allies to propose a post World War II type Marshall Plan.
  • N Korea launches another ballistic missile test, again creating concern about its ability to deliver nuclear weapons.
  • A rare leak of a US Supreme Court draft of a majority opinion that supports the overturn of the controversial Roe vs Wade abortion decision of 1972 results in rallies across the country by abortion-rights supporters. Chief Justice John Roberts orders an investigation and says the leak will not have an affect on the work of the Supreme Court. US Senate Democrats plan to force a procedural vote on a bill to codify abortion protections. A final bill is not expected to pass because it would require at least 60 votes, which is unlikely, and would also be subject to a Republican filibuster.
  • US 1Q22 corporate earnings of public companies continue to be released, results are mixed.

The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks April 2021 12 Month Report Card

The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks April 2021 12 Month Report Card

Report Card Stocks PBR1000 PBR25 Investing Investor

The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks 12 Month Report Card for April, 2021, gets an ‘D+’ for falling short of its forecast, but exceeding all three major US stock indices.

By Larry C. Paxton

Welcome to The April 2021 The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks 12 Month Report Card.

As investors we count on professional stock analysts to provide comprehensive and diligent research to come up with their best take on how stocks will perform over the next 12 months. We then use that information to help us make stock buy, hold and sell decisions.

The PBR25 Premise

The premise of The PBR25 is that there is a high probability of success for investing in stocks when a large enough number professional stock analysts through their extensive research determine that a stock is a “Buy” and also forecasts a significant return over the next 12 months. PBRMarketTools assigns a Report Card grade based on how the professional stock analysts did.

Last 12 Months Influences

It is difficult to forecast a result with much accuracy over a 12 month period. For example, the 12 month period included the invasion of Ukraine by Russia starting February 24, 2022, which no one predicted 12 months earlier. The COVID-19 pandemic also continued with new variants causing havoc throughout the 12 months, with the total US death toll approaching one million over the two plus years of the pandemic. The effects created a lot of unemployment, affected many economic sectors like hospitality and travel services, closed schools, forced people to work from home, and much more. But there has also been a significant recovery as societies continue to try to regain a sense of “normalcy.” Inflation rates skyrocketed, but were expected to be transitory. However, the high levels have continued, and the US Federal Reserve is has started increasing short term interest rates. There also continues to be the aftermath of a very contentious 2020 US Presidential and general election process, which also created a lot of confusion and strife, with the major action being the attack on the US Capital Building on January 6, 2021. 12 months later The US House of Representatives continues to actively pursue investigations and convictions of people involved as the 2022 midterm elections come into play.  There are a lot more factors, but this is not meant to be an opinions post. It is a piece focused on the review of the recommendations stock analysts came up with at the end of April 2021 and the actual results 12 months later at the end of April 2022. PBRMarketTools is calling this a Report Card.

For this April 2021 Report Card we used stock data and forecasts from April 30, 2021, and compare it to the actual results on April 29, 2022.

Creating The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks List for April 2021

The starting point is the prestigious The PBR1000 US Public Companies, produced monthly by PBRMarketTools. To be included in The PBR1000 the 1,000 companies must meet the following criteria:

  • The companies must be publicly traded on the NYSE, NYSE American or NASDAQ stock exchanges, with a very few temporarily trading on the Over-The-Counter market because they are transitioning from bankruptcy.
  • They must be headquartered in the US or have primary operations in the US.
  • They must have generated at least $1 billion in revenues in their most recent full fiscal year.
  • They must file an annual 10-K form with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in US dollars
  • Each of the 1,000 companies is given a primary ranking based on revenues, with the company having the highest revenue amount ranked 1(currently Walmart). There are 27 secondary rankings in The PBR1000 based on other criteria as well.

Each month the 12 month estimates and recommendations by stock analysts are updated on The PBR1000The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks list for April 2021 was then created using the following process:

  • At any point in time The PBR1000 has around 15,000 stock analyst recommendations.
  • The PBR1000 is sorted several times to come up with The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks, made up of stocks that are rated a “Buy” by analysts, have a 12 Month Forecasted % Change of at least +20%, have at least 15 “Buy” recommendations, and be profitable in their latest fiscal year.

Actual Results for The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks for April 2021

  • No companies on the list were acquired or merged during the 12 month period.
  • CoStar Group of The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks for April 2021 did a 10:1 stock split in June, 2021, so data was altered to reflect that for this report.

Following is a table of characteristics and 12 month actual results for the The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks on April 30, 2021, which we are calling the April 2021 report card.

Conclusions, Observations, Validations and Realities

  • If you had bought 1 share each of The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks at the closing price on April 30, 2021$2,803.73you would have achieved a +0.21% gain 12 months later at the close on April 29, 2022, $2,809.57, significantly less than the+27.38% forecast of  $3,571.32, historically a less than average 12 month returnmuch below the 12 month forecast, which was above the returns on the DJIA, NASDAQ, and the S&P500 indices. For this reason The April 2021 The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks gets a ‘D+’ on its 12 month Report Card, only because it did have a positive return and exceeded all 3 major US stock indices.
  • It is difficult to forecast out 12 months with any great accuracy, there are just too many variables and uncertainties.
  • However, it does demonstrate that The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks is a valid methodology and process for that particular month.
  • One of our demonstration accounts, The Charlie Fund, uses the popular “Dollar Cost Averaging Investment Strategy” with the monthly The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks as the primary research tool. For the 12 Month Report Card period it achieved a greater than 30% return, a further validation of the methodology.
  • There are no guarantees! The reality is that there will always be ups and downs in the stock market and people make stocks buy, hold and sell decisions based on a wide range of  logical and emotional criteria, input from knowledgeable hard-working experts and well meaning friends, and if the sky is blue today. But the historical data is pretty convincing that stocks will trend up at an above average investment rate over the long haul.

The Stock Market Bear started off Week 17 of 2022 the same way he ended Week 16, by starting to inflict more pain on the major US stock indices. But The Stock Market Bull, filled with new energy, charged into the pasture towards the end of the day, the indices did a U turn, and The Stock Market Bull won Monday going away. The Stock Market Bear retaliated on Tuesday, and spilled a lot of blood to take the day. On Wednesday The Stock Market Bull managed to mostly neutralize The Stock Market Bear and took a slim 2-1 mixed win for the day. Encouraged, The Stock Market Bull returned on Thursday in a big way and closed with a lead for the week in all three major US stock indices. But on Friday The Stock Market Bear returned and angrily took no prisoners to get the Week 17 victory, his first string of 4 weekly wins in 2022, and all in March. The Stock Market Bear also easily gets the April 2022 victory in a dominant way after having lost March. Now we start a new month and wonder if The Stock Market Bull or Bear become enamored with and distracted by the May flowers.

The Week 15 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Stocks Investing Investor ThePBR1000 ThePBR25

The Stock Market Bear takes 3 of the 4 days to get the shortened Week 15 win.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 15 Summary:

On Monday of Week 15 of 2022 The Stock Market Bear set the tone by attacking all three US major stock indices, taking no prisoners. Tuesday was a repeat, but on a smaller scale. On Wednesday it was The Stock Market Bull who asserted himself, making up a lot of the lost ground and trying to regain the momentum. But on Thursday The Stock Market Bear quelched that by nearly matched those numbers. Friday the US stock exchanges were closed in observance of Good Friday. On Sunday Christians joyfully celebrate Jesus Christ overcoming death. Investors are wondering when The Stock Market Bull will overcome the mounting losses for the year and regain his winning ways.
