July 2016: The 2nd Half Race Starts
Which The PBR1000 Companies Will Win the Race for Gold?
By Larry C. Paxton
As July 2016 progressed there was less attention to Brexit issues because it became clear that it is not an immediate outcome. While it is generally accepted that there will be some long term consequences, they do not appear to be as severe as originally presented by opponents to this action and as reported by the media. The sky will not fall and life will go on with mild effects on people and economies in general.
Earnings reports continue to be mixed and economic indices continue to show moderate growth in the U.S. There continue to be concerns that this is somewhat fragile. For example, a key driver of the U.S. economy is the price of oil, which continues to fluctuate in an unpredictable manner.
The major US Stock Exchanges had a good month, all showing positive results from the previous month, YTD, and since 12/31/14. The NASDAQ had the most positive trading days, with 14 out of 20, S&P500 13, and the DJIA 12. The DJIA had a 9 day gain streak in the middle of the month, but that was followed by a 5 day losing streak to end the month.
The PBR1000 companies in The Top 5 Tables continue to be spread across a wide variety of industries.
Let’s see if The PBR1000 and U.S. markets can have as good of an August as our Olympians will!
