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.

US Economic News:

  • The Dept of Commerce/Census says the Preliminary March 2022 Construction Spending-Residential is at $891.3 billion, Non-Residential $839.2 billion, for March 2022 Total Construction Spending at $1,730.5 billion, +0.1% from February 2022, +11.8% from March 2021.

The Week 17 and Month of April 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Stocks Investing Investor ThePBR1000 ThePBR25

The Stock Market Bull was leading Week 17 of 2022 at the end of Thursday, but The Stock Market Bear wanted his 4 week win streak more.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 17 and April Summary:

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 10 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Stocks Investing Recap

Week 10 is another weekly win for The Stock Market Bear as investors dwell on Russia’s continuing attack on Ukraine and inflation.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 10 Summary:

Like Russia’s continuing assault on Ukraine, The Stock Market Bear took his seventh week of 2022, Week 10, by inflicting major losses on Monday and Tuesday, was briefly interrupted by a successful counteroffensive by The Stock Market Bull on Wednesday, but then returned to make big gashes on the markets again on Thursday and Friday. With the Russia/Ukraine War intensifying, high inflation worries escalating, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, what will it take for The Stock Market Bull to prevent a trifecta of weekly losses in Week 11?

Influences/News:

  • Russia’s attacks in Ukraine continue to be the major headlines. The world continues to watch anxiously as diplomatic efforts have failed so far. On the other hand, while Russia’s military offensive continues, it also seems somewhat vulnerable to the defenses and counterattacks by a determined, courageous, and brave Ukraine military and its volunteers. The Russians anticipated a 3 day war, and now it is in its 14th day. There has been a lot of destruction and human suffering, but there is no clear victory for Russian’s efforts to this point, even as the US, European Union and NATO offer moral support through economic sanctions but offering limited military support for Ukraine. What happens next can only be conjectures and based primarily on Russia’s actions, but the extremes range from Russia’s complete retreat to it defiantly unleashing its nuclear arsenal resulting in a civilization ending worldwide holocaust.
  • In other international news North Korea continues to test fire missiles, some of which appear to be capable of striking the US.
  • The Iran nuclear talks have been paused.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has now claimed over 6 million lives worldwide and nearly 1 million in the US. However, rates of infections, hospitalizations, and deaths are dropping. There are concerns that there will be future variants, and that societies will have to develop strategies to deal with it forever, just like we have for the flu and other diseases.
  • In the US central Iowa experienced a series of killer tornados.
  • In some key US economic news consumer credit grew by 6.8% in January, the slowest pace in a year; wholesale trade was up 4.0% in January, +22.4% over the past 12 months; US international trade in January showed a deficit of $89.7 billion, the January 2021 deficit was at $65.2 billion; the consumer price index over the past 12 months, or the inflation rate, was +7.9%, highest in 40 years; the federal government spending deficit for February 2022 was at $217 billion, it was $311 billion in February 2021; the price for a gallon of gas is well above $4, with inflation and the Russia/Ukraine War contributing to that rise.
  • US Major League Baseball and the Players Union have agreed on terms, the 2022 season will be delayed by about a week, and all games will be played.
  • The Beijing 2022 Paralympics finish on March 13.

The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks Feb 2021 12 Month Report Card

March 7, 2022 by

The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks February 2021 12 Month Report Card

Report Card Stocks PBR1000 PBR25 Investing Investor

The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks 12 Month Report Card for February, 2021, gets an ‘D’ for falling short of its forecast and the three major US stock indices.

By Larry C. Paxton

Welcome to The February 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 ended with 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, but numbers were dropping significantly towards the end of February 2022, 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 expected to start 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 February 2021 and the actual results 12 months later at the end of February 2022. PBRMarketTools is calling this a Report Card.

For this February 2021 Report Card we used stock data and forecasts from February 26, 2021, and compare it to the actual results on February 28, 2022.

Creating The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks List for February 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 PBR1000. The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks list for February 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%, and have at least 10 “Buy” recommendations.

Actual Results for The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks for February 2021

  • No companies on the list were acquired or merged during the 12 month period.
  • In October, 2021, Facebook changed its name to Meta Platforms, but continues to use the stock trading symbol FB.
  • None of The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks for February 2021 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 February 26, 2021, which we are calling the February 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 February 26, 2021, $6,664.50, you would have achieved a +3.22% gain 12 months later at the close on February 28, 2022, $6,879.28, significantly less than the +30.00% estimate of  $8,664.13, historically a less than average 12 month return, much below the 12 month forecast, and below the returns on the DJIA, NASDAQ, and S&P500 indices. For this reason The February 2021 The PBR25 Top Buy Stocks gets an ‘D’ on its 12 month Report Card, only because it did have a small positive return.
  • 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 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.

The Week 8 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

The Week 8 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

stock market bull bear stocks investing investor PBR1000

In a shortened Week 8 The Stock Market Bear claws out wins the first two days, The Stock Market Bull takes the last two days, and gets the Week 8 mixed 2-1 win.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 8 Summary:

Week 8 started with Monday a day off for the US stock exchanges to observe Presidents’ Day. But it was an anxious day as the world waited to see if Russia would invade Ukraine. On Tuesday and Wednesday The Stock Market Bear took charge by clawing his way to two very large losses days. Russia did attack Ukraine, sanctions were started against Russia, and The Stock Market Bull aggressively countered by taking charge on Thursday and Friday. At Friday’s close it was a split with The Stock Market Bull getting the 2-1 mixed win for the week and the first of 2022. Between the Russia-Ukraine concerns, inflation, and continuing COVID19 issues it was a fitting end to Week 8. Everyone is wondering, what will Week 9 bring?

Influences/News:

  • The Russia-Ukraine concerns became reality as Russia initially launched offenses to take over two breakaway Ukraine regions, then started closing in on the major city of Kyiv by the end of the week. NATO had an emergency session, agreed to beef up troops in neighboring countries. Speeches by US President Biden and many other world leaders from democracies denounced the use of military force, pledged to impose economic sanctions against Russia and its political and corporate leaders. Ukraine President Zelensky encouraged its military and citizens to provide resistance with some apparent initial success.
  • Inflation in the US continues to be a big issue. The Federal Open Market Committee meets next month some members are talking about a quarter or half percent increase in the federal short term interest rate.
  • COVID19 and associated variants cases and hospitalizations are decreasing rapidly, the US Center for Disease Control indicated that it is considering making some recommendations about the use of masks, probably to be oriented more towards communities that the nation itself.
  • US President Biden nominates Ketanji Brown Jackson, a federal judge on the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit since 2021, to replace retiring US Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. She is the first black female to be nominated for the position.
  • In US economic news the Case-Shiller housing report indicated that in December home prices had increased by 18.6% over 12 months. The US Gross Domestic Product annual rate for 21Q4 was revised from +6.9% to +7.0%. US weekly initial jobless claims dropped 17,000 to 232,000 last week, closing in on pre-pandemic numbers. US mortgage rates dropped a little to an average of 3.89% with 0.8 points & fees in the last week. US personal incomes were little changed from the previous month.

The Week 6 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Stocks Recap Investing ThePBR1000

The Stock Market Bear comes from behind in Week 6, gets the 3-0 win, and prevents The Stock Market Bull from achieving its first trifecta of wins in 2022.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 6 Summary:

In what has become a somewhat recurring theme for 2022, Week 6 started with a mixed result by small margins on Monday in favor of The Stock Market Bear. But on Tuesday and Wednesday The Stock Market Bull aggressively charged into the pasture and clearly dominated each day, creating a clear lead for the week. On Thursday The Stock Market Bear took his turn with a dominating result, but still behind for the week. To finish Week 6 The Stock Market Bear repeated his Thursday result, gets the 3-0 Week 6 result, and leaves The Stock Market Bull exhausted and unable to complete the three week trifecta of wins.

The Week 5 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

The Week 5 of 2022 US Stock Market News Recap

Stock Market Bull Bear Investing Investor Stocks

In Week 5 of 2022 The Stock Market Bull gets a 3-0 outright win as he continues to fight back to regain his glory of 2021.

By Larry C. Paxton

The US Stock Market Week 5 Summary:

The Stock Market Bull, after his big last Friday and first weekly win, started out strong on Monday through Wednesday by taking all 9 sessions across the 3 major US stocks indices as economic news, particularly upcoming interest rate hikes, settled in and investors adjusted. But on Thursday The Stock Market Bear made a prominent appearance as Russia-Ukraine tensions increased significantly with the notice that the US was sending a few thousand troops to nearby countries and the COVID-19 pandemic continued to have elevated numbers. But on Friday The Stock Market Bull pushed The Stock Market Bear out of the pasture and had another nice day, thanks to the much better than expected employment numbers, and convincingly takes the 3-0 Week 5 win. The Stock Market Bull now has two weekly wins in a row, but he still has a way to go to catch up year-to-date. In Week 6 will he be able to match the trifecta of The Stock Market Bear who won the first three weeks of 2022?

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!

While we do expect rates to rise, the push of the first-time homebuyer demographic that’s been propelling the purchase market will continue in 2022 and beyond.”

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.
