The US Stock Market December 2021 Summary:

Week 48, the first week in December, which included the last two days of November, ended up being won by The Stock Market Bear with large wins across all three major US stock indices on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.  The Stock Market Bull returned the favor in Week 49 by taking every day except Thursday. This was followed by an overwhelming reversal by The Stock Market Bear in Week 50, letting The Stock Market Bull win only Wednesday. In what was becoming a theme, after losing Monday, The Stock Market Bull charged back in the 4 day Holiday Week by taking Tuesday through Thursday, with Thursday including a record close for the S&P500. Going into Week 52, the last for 2021, The Stock Market Bull had a small lead across all three indices, and had a big Monday to start. But The Stock Market Bear returned and took 9 of 12 sessions Tuesday through Friday, but resulted in only a 2-1 mixed win for the week. Of the 3 sessions won by The Stock Market Bull two were record closes on Wednesday for the DJIA and the S&P500. In conclusion, it was a back and forth month with The Stock Market Bull emerging as the winner for the month and the victor by a large margin for all of 2021.

The Week 1 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

The Week 1 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Investing Investor Recap

“Happy New Year, I’m Back!” angrily growls The Stock Market Bear, as he defiantly gets the 3-0 outright win in Week 1 of 2022.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 1 Summary:

The Stock Market Bull, confident after a dominating victorious 2021, on Monday charged onto the pasture to show that it will be more of the same in 2022, takes all 3 major US stock indices, and establishes records on both the DJIA and S&P500, making it a joyful “Happy New Year!” introduction for the Bull’s fans. On Tuesday it looked like it might be another great The Stock Market Bull day as he took the DJIA with another new record close. But The Stock Market Bear sneaked onto the pasture and took a big bite out of the NASDAQ and a small nibble out of the S&P500. On Wednesday, with the release of the December Minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee and the significant increase of COVID-19 Omnicron variant cases, The Stock Market Bear continued to ravage all 3 indices for the rest of the week, takes Week 1 of 2022 with clear 3-0 win, and with an angry growl announces, “Happy New Year, I’m Back!” The Stock Market Bear draws first blood in 2022, and the challenge has been set.

Among homeowners, the ‘good time to buy’ sentiment fell 30 percentage points over the past year to its current level of 30%; for renters it fell from 37% to 21%. Even though demand remains strong, a majority of consumers clearly have reservations about purchasing a home at current prices.”

  • Thursday, January 6, 2022

  • The US Dept of Commerce/Census says the Preliminary November 2021 US Exports-Goods is at $155.9 billion, Services $68.3 billion, making November 2021 US Exports Total at $224.2 billion, and US Exports Total YTD(11 months) at $2,298.1 billion; November 2021 US Imports-Goods is at $254.9 billion, Services $49.5 billion, making November 2021 US Imports Total at $304.4 billion, and US Imports Total YTD $3,083.1 billion, making the November 2021 US Trade Deficit at $80.2 billion, October was at $67.0 billion, September $81.4 billion, November 2020 $67.3 billion, November 2019 $40.7 billion, and the November 2021 US Trade Deficit Total YTD(11 months) $785.0 billion, November 2020 was at $610.9 billion, November 2019 $531.1 billion.
  • The US Dept of Commerce/Census says the Preliminary November 2021 US Manufacturing New Orders-Durables is at $268.4 billion, Non-Durables $263.4 billion, making November 2021 US Manufacturing New Orders Total at $531.8 billion, October was at $523.4 billion, September $517.1 billion, November 2020 $460.4 billion, November 2019 $470.3 billion.
  • The Institute for Supply Management December 2021 US Services PMI Index(>50% economy growing) is at 62.0%, November was at 69.1%, October 66.7%, December 2020 57.7%, December 2019 55.0%. “… Although there was a pullback for most of the indexes in December, the rate of growth remains strong for the services sector, which has expanded for all but two of the last 143 months. Business Survey Committee respondents have indicated that they continue to struggle with inflation, supply chain disruptions, capacity constraints, logistical challenges and shortages of labor and materials.”

  • Wednesday, January 5, 2022

  • The US Federal Reserve Open Market Committee releases its Minutes of the 12/14-15/21 meeting, says, “… expectations for a reduction in policy accommodation shifted forward notably. Respondents to the Open Market Desk’s surveys of primary dealers and market participants broadly projected that the Committee would quicken the pace of reduction in the Federal Reserve’s net purchases of Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and the median respondent projected net asset purchases to end in March 2022. The median respondent’s projected timing for the first increase in the target range for the federal funds rate also moved earlier from the first quarter of 2023 to June 2022.”
  • ADP says the Preliminary December 2021 US Monthly Change in Private Sector Employment is at +807,000, +204,000 from Small Businesses(1-49 employees), +214,000 Midsized(50-499), +389,000 Large(500 or more). “December’s job market strengthened as the fallout from the Delta variant faded and Omicron’s impact had yet to be seen… Job gains were broad-based, as goods producers added the strongest reading of the year, while service providers dominated growth. December’s job growth brought the fourth quarter average to 625,000, surpassing the 514,000 average for the year. While job gains eclipsed 6 million in 2021, private sector payrolls are still nearly 4 million jobs short of pre-COVID-19 levels.”
  • IHS Markit says the December 2021 US Composite PMI Output Index is at 57.0, November was at 57.2, October 57.6, December 2020 55.3, December 2019 52.7. “Business confidence strengthened at the end of the year to the highest since November 2020, as firms were hopeful of more favorable labor market and supply-chain conditions going into 2022. The swift spread of the Omicron variant does lace new downside risks into the economic outlook heading into 2022, however. Any additional headwinds or disruption faced by firms are likely to temper sentiment.”

  • The Institute for Supply Management says the December 2021 US Manufacturing PMI Index(>50%=economy expanding) is at 58.7%, November was at 61.1%, October 60.8%, December 2020 60.5%, December 2019 47.8%. “The U.S. manufacturing sector remains in a demand-driven, supply chain-constrained environment, with indications of improvements in labor resources and supplier delivery performance. Shortages of critical lowest-tier materials, high commodity prices and difficulties in transporting products continue to plague reliable consumption. Coronavirus pandemic-related global issues — worker absenteeism, short-term shutdowns due to parts shortages, employee turnover and overseas supply chain problems — continue to impact manufacturing. However, panel sentiment remains strongly optimistic, with six positive growth comments for every cautious comment, down slightly from November….”
  • The PurdueU/CME Group December 2021 US Ag Economy Barometer Composite Index is at 125, November was at 116, October 121, December 2020 174, December 2019 150. “… Agricultural producers are concerned about rising input costs with nearly half (47%) of producers choosing it as a top concern for 2022 and nearly four out of ten respondents said they expect farm input prices to rise by more than 30% in 2022 compared to 2021….”

The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks December 2020 12 Month Report Card

January 5, 2022 by

The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks December 2020 12 Month Report Card

Stocks PBR25 PBR1000 Report Card Investing Investor

Like October and November 2020, The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks 12 Month Report Card for December 2020 gets a ‘D’ unless you want to make just one change, which would then get it an ‘A’ grade!

By Larry C. Paxton

Welcome to The December 2020 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 primary impact in December 2020 continued to be the COVID-19 pandemic. The world, including the US, was deep into the COVID-19 pandemic, which 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. It was also the month of a very contentious US Presidential and general election process, which also created a lot of confusion and strife. 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 December 2020 and the actual results 12 months later at the end of December 2021. PBRMarketTools is calling this a Report Card.

For this December 2020 Report Card we used stock data and forecasts from December 31, 2020, and compare it to the actual results on December 31, 2021.

Creating The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks List for November 2020

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 PBR1000. The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks list for December 2020 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%, and have at least 10 “Buy” recommendations.

Actual Results for The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks for Decenber 2021

  • The Cimarex Energy Co(XEC) merger with Cabot Oil & Gas to form Coterra Energy was completed in October 2021. The last active stock price for XEC was used in this report card.
  • None of The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks for December 2020 did a stock split during the 12 months, so no data was altered for this report.

Following is a table of characteristics and 12 month actual results for the The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks on December 31, 2020, which we are calling the December 2020 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 December 31, 2020, you would have achieved a +13.17% gain 12 months later at the close on December 31, 2021, less than the +19.19% estimate, historically a good return, but below the 12 month forecast, and below the returns on the DJIA, NASDAQ, and S&P500 indices. For this reason The December 2020 The PBR25 gets a ‘D’ on its 12 month Report Card.
  • On the other hand, the Amazon(AMZN) stock price was over half the total of 25 stocks, it forecasted a +17.44% return, actual was +2.38%. If you take out AMZN the results would have been a forecast of a +21.15% return, actual would have been 25.22%, which would have exceeded the forecast and over returns on the DJIA, NASDAQ, and just below the S&P500 indices. The December 2020 12 Month Report Card would have then been an ‘A-’ grade.
  • 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.
  • Our demonstration account, called 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 50% 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 Week 52 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

The Week 52 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Stocks Investing

The Stock Market Bull only gets a 2-1 mixed win for Week 52, but he easily wins December and all of 2021 big time.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 52 Summary:

On Monday of Week 52, the last week of 2021, The Stock Market Bull had a big day in the pasture, a continuation of Week 51, taking all 3 major US stock indices, including a record close on the S&P500, without any resistance. On Tuesday he took the DJIA, but The Stock Market Bear wasn’t going away for the week as he took both the NASDAQ and S&P500 by small margins. The Stock Market Bull came back on Wednesday to establish new record closes on the DJIA and S&P500, but The Stock Market Bear was still ripping away at the NASDAQ. While The Stock Market Bull was preparing for his Happy New Year celebration he let The Stock Market Bear take Thursday and Friday by slim margins, resulting in the inadvertent loss of the NASDAQ for the week. The Stock Market Bull gets a mixed 2-1 win in Week 52 but needs to be congratulated for being the clear victor with an outstanding 2021. Of course, now the stage is set for 2022, expectations are all over the place as the pundits make their projections and predictions. Happy New Year to all!

The Week 51 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

The Week 51 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Stocks Investing

The Stock Market Bull comes back with a vengeance, takes Week 51 with a 3-0 outright win, says “You’re welcome, Merry Christmas!”

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 51 Summary:

Motivated by his strong finish win last week The Stock Market Bear again took to the pasture and successfully extracted some more flesh on Monday with a resounding 3-0 win. But The Stock Market Bull had had enough. On Tuesday he more than made up the difference, and continued to dominate for the rest of the short Week 51 trading week, with the successive days not being quite as large as the previous day. But the return was dramatic, and even resulted in a new record close for the S&P500 on Thursday. Friday was Christmas Eve, the US stock exchanges were closed, and it became a time to rest and relax before the final week of 2021. So even with the Omnicron COVID-19 variant becoming the dominant strain spreading rapidly around the world, economic uncertainties, and another upcoming contentious mid-term election year, The Stock Market Bull has a very solid lead for the year going into Week 52.

The Week 50 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

December 17, 2021 by

The Week 50 of 2021 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Stocks Investing Investor

The Stock Market Bull decides to go Christmas shopping in Week 50, The Stock Market Bear creates chaos in the pasture.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 50 Summary:

After his victory last week, The Stock Market Bull decided to reward himself by going Christmas shopping during Week 50. Predictably, The Stock Market Bear was quick to notice. On Monday he charged into undefended pasture and took a big bite out of the livestock. Although not as severe, he was able to repeat this on Tuesday. On Wednesday The Stock Market Bull returned to the pasture to watch on his new big TV screen Federal Reserve Chairman Powell‘s comments following the two day  Federal Open Market Committee meeting. The reassuring words resulted in an easy daily win for The Stock Market Bull, who departed for more holiday shopping on Thursday. Once again, The Stock Market Bear saw his chance and pounced on some more livestock to take the day, with the NASDAQ being particularly affected. This continued on Friday with the DJIA taking the major blood letting for the day. The Stock Market Bear takes Week 50 with a 3-0 clear result, taking 12 of the 15 sessions across the three major US stock indices, and everyone wondering if The Stock Market Bear should really be called The Stock Market Grinch.

The US Stock Market November 2021 Summary:

Week 44, the first week in November, was all about The Stock Market Bull where out of 15 trading sessions across the three major US stock indices he closed with records in 14 of those sessions, a remarkable accomplishment. But like the gravitational law of physics that says what goes up must come down, The Stock Market Bear returned the favor in Week 45, but only needed 7 of the 15 sessions to take the week. In Week 46 The Stock Market Bear took the DJIA, The Stock Market Bull dominated in the NASDAQ closing with records, and they split the S&P500, but that included a record near the close of the week, with the result being a 2-1 mixed win for The Stock Market Bull. For Week 47, a basically 3 days and a half day trading week due to the US Thanksgiving holiday, The Stock Market Bear had a strong close on Black Friday, famous as the first shopping day of the Christmas season, as a gift from COVID-19, as the fast spreading Omnicore variant became the headline news. This continued into the last two days in November in Week 48. So, The Stock Market Bull’s strong start at the beginning of November was overtaken by The Stock Market Bear at the end of the month, but produced only a 2-1 monthly mixed win because The Stock Market Bull was able to hold onto his NASDAQ gains by the slimmest of margins.
