January 2016: Did Climate Change Bring The Bears Out Of Hibernation Early?

Bear with Money ID-100188038 ddpavumba

Who Invited The Bear?

 

By Larry C. Paxton

The continued downward spiral of oil prices, the mixed corporate financial results from initial reports, and economic indices showing moderate growth at best made January 2016 one for the bears, and they came out hungry and growling, especially for technical stocks on the NASDAQ.

For example, out of the 19 trading days in January 2016, 12 of them were negative, with 5 being over -2% for the NASDAQ. 

The questions now are if the bears really have come out of hibernation, and how long will the bulls stay away?

When Did the ‘Chaos’ Button
Start Appearing,
and Who Pushed It?

 

December 2015: What’s Up, or Perhaps More Appropriate, What’s Not Down?

By Larry C. Paxton

December 2015 ended the year on a disappointing note with the  major stock market indices dropping dramatically. These results did not offer much confidence as 2016 started. For the primary reasons we encourage you to read The PBR1000 December 2015 Breaking News Recap.

It is interesting to review how the indices behaved in December 2015. For example, for the 22 trading days the Dow Jones Industrial Average(DJIA) was up 10 days, down 12 days, and 9 of those days were up or down by at least 1%.

As we already know, January is showing similar characteristics, and there is a sense of chaos by many traders.

Sooner or later the markets will calm down, hopefully sooner. Then perhaps there will be a sense of order, or at least the stocks and commodities markets version of that.

The PBR1000 November 2015 Stocks/Commodities Snapshots

Wishing You The Best
During the Holiday Season,
and To Getting Your Piece of the Pie
in the New Year!

 

By Larry C. Paxton

November 2015 was a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde kind of month. To understand that it is a good idea to quickly review the end of October. Overall October ended with a very positive result for stocks and commodities. But the reality was that there was a bit of a downturn in the last week. In the first week of November Dr. Jekyll showed up and there was a nice gain. But the second week Mr. Hyde took over and there was a significant downturn. The third week Dr. Jekyll returned and there was a big jump back. In the final week and last day of the month Mr. Hyde reappeared for a dip, not a big one, but a noticeable one.

There seemed to be a lot of reasons for the swings. The economy appears to continue to grow at a modest rate, to the point where it is a foregone conclusion that the Federal Reserve will most likely finally make an almost minimal raise of the short term interest rate. But oil and minerals prices continue to fluctuate, there is uncertainty about global issues like immigration and refugees, much of it related to unrest in the Middle East. Climate change is becoming a bigger issue and getting more attention, and there are no easy answers, other than the fact there will be an unpredictable impact on economies worldwide.

What will happen in December? Once again, there are a lot of questions and very little consensus. For the holiday season what will be the growth of online sales, and what impact will that have on traditional retail storefronts? Will oil prices stabilize? What will it take to bring stability and peace to the Middle East?  What will really happen if the Fed raises interest rates? There are a myriad of additional questions and the resulting complexities make just about any prediction both plausible and unlikely.

During this holiday season the staff of PBRMarketTools.com wishes you the very best as you celebrate through the traditions you cherish. May it be a season of peace and hope as we enter what will be an interesting New Year.

The PBR1000 October 2015 Stocks/Commodities Snapshots

The End Of 2015 Is Near.
What is Your Investment Strategy?

August and September experienced a downward trend for a variety of reasons(see previous editions of this blog). October 2015 saw a significant reverse, and at the end of the month the stock exchanges were back at their mid-August levels, and appearing ready to climb even more in the upcoming months, even though economic indices continue to be somewhat mixed, overall moderate, and feeling fragile. There is a sense that investors are weary of that same economic news over and over again, and they are ready to step out. For example, the concern over when the Federal Reserve will raise its base interest rate from 0%, the stock market showed negative volatility. Now it seems that even though the economics have not changed much the markets have still moved up anticipating the interest rate move up and now feeling it is a positive sign. It will be interesting to see if this thought has some truth to it in the coming months.

In the following tables the stock price is for the close of trading on October 30th, Month % Chg is compared to September 30th, YTD % Chg is compared to December 31, 2014, and the 22 Mos % Chg is compared to December 31, 2013.

A Different Technology Might Be Needed
To Get The Stock Market Into Positive Territory.

 

By Larry C. Paxton

The PBR1000 September 2015 Snapshots include news and stocks data on 1,050 companies in 15 analytical reports.

Current The PBR1000 Subscribers should have already received the MS Excel workbook. If you are not a current Subscriber just click here to get your 13 month subscription and automatically download the September edition of The PBR1000 Snapshots.

Stocks of The PBR1000 companies continued to show volatility, with all measurements hitting correction status sometime during September.  The unexpected devaluation by China of its Yuan currency was still having an impact.  There were also some mixed economic trends. The US economy is still the best overall in the world, but growth remains modest/moderate with some uncertainties. World situations might be having an impact as well, with multitudes of people evacuating Syria, as an example.  The Iran nuclear deal is not certain as Congress wrestles with its ramifications and many open questions. The 2016 US Presidential Race might be causing some spin as well.

In the following tables the stock price is for the close of trading on September 30th, Month % Chg is compared toAugust 31st, YTD % Chg is compared to December 31, 2014, and the 21 Mos % Chg is compared to December 31, 2013.

The PBR1000 August 2015 Stocks/Commodities Snapshots

ID-100233929 Black Questions Marks-ponsulak

When Will the Fed Increase Interest Rates?
What Will Happen Then?
What Should I Do Now?

 

By Larry C. Paxton

The PBR1000 August 2015 Snapshots include news and stocks data on 1,050 companies in 15 analytical reports.

Current The PBR1000 Subscribers should have already received the MS Excel workbook. If you are not a current Subscriber just click here to get your 13 month subscription and automatically download the August edition of The PBR1000 Snapshots.

The PBR1000 companies and stocks worldwide were hit hard with the unexpected devaluation by China of its Yuan currency. This was further compounded by what many expect to finally be a small increase in the interest rate charged by the US Federal Reserve Bank. The US economy is considered by most to continue to grow at a modest/moderate rate, and the most stable in the world. While there continues to be cautious optimism about the future, volatile August shows that the US and global economy remains vulnerable to unexpected events.

In the following tables the stock price is for the close of trading on August 31st, Month % Chg is compared to July 31st, YTD % Chg is compared to December 31, 2014, and the 20 Mos % Chg is compared to December 31, 2013.

Current The PBR1000 Subscribers should have already received the MS Excel workbook. If you are not a current Subscriber just click here to get your 13 month subscription and automatically download the July edition of The PBR1000 Snapshots.

Many of you have suggested we include a table on Market Capitalization.  PBRMarketTools.com has moved some tables around and made  Table 4 that summary. For The PBR1000 Subscribers it is a summary of Report 15.

The second half of 2015 started out with the markets climbing to near record highs by mid-month, but then a retreat. There is still mixed news on the US economy, uncertain and unresolved world events, and the marathon US Presidential Race is starting to gain momentum. Are we looking forward to all those political ads over the next 15 months?

In the following tables the stock price is for the close of trading on July 31st, Month % Chg is compared to June 30th, YTD % Chg is compared to December 31, 2014, and the 19 Mos % Chg is compared to December 31, 2013.

The first half of 2015 was finishing pretty strong. The NASDAQ had reached new highs, the S&P500 was closing in on a new record, and the DJIA was climbing. Then the bottom dropped out on the last few trading days, especially on June 29th. The Greek drama took most of the blame, but the moderately growing US economy still feels a little fragile, and the rest of the world appears more shaky.

This sets the stage for the 2nd half of the year. Will the Federal Reserve raise interest rates once or twice, or not at all? Will there be a Greek exit? A few other Eurozone countries continue to struggle, could there be a domino effect?

Nevertheless, every month there are a significant number of gainers over the previous month and year-to-date. There are investment opportunities.

In the following tables the stock price is for the close of trading on June 30th, Month % Chg is compared to May 29th, YTD % Chg is compared to December 31, 2014, and the 18 Mos % Chg is compared to December 31, 2013.

The PBR1000 May 2015 Stocks/Commodities Snapshots

Should All Decisions Be Based On Data Analysis?
When Do You Take Action Based On A Strong Hunch?

The PBR1000 May 2015 Snapshots include news and stocks data on 1,062 companies in 15 analytical reports.

Current The PBR1000 Subscribers should have already received the MS Excel workbook.


A unique feature of May 2015 is that after many years all the major US stock market exchanges registered new record closing highs in the same month. As temperatures rose across the US the stock markets showed less volatility, especially in the second half of May. Will that trend continue through the summer?

Key commodities also showed gains in May. But employment figures, new and used home sales, manufacturing, and many other economic indicators continue to be mixed. As a result, the Federal Reserve continues to be cautious about when it thinks it will start increasing interest rates.

In the following tables the stock price is for the close of trading on May 29th, Month % Chg is compared to April 30th, YTD % Chg is compared to December 31, 2014, and the 17 Mos % Chg is compared to December 31, 2013.

Which Directions Did Your Stocks Go In April?

 

By Larry C. Paxton

The PBR1000 April 2015 Snapshots include news and stocks data on 1,065 companies in 15 analytical reports.

Current The PBR1000 Subscribers should have already received the MS Excel workbook.


At the end of April it was good to see that the stock exchanges were in the black in all time ranges. However, the journey to get there still involved a lot of fluctuations throughout the month. One highlight was NASDAQ reaching a new high close during the month, the first time in years.

Economic indicators are still mixed. The Federal Reserve continues to be cautious about when it will inevitably have to start to increase interest rates and the rationale for doing justifying that action. This  sets the stage for May. It will be interesting to see how investors respond as a new set of indicators come out and company quarterly SEC reports are filed.

 

In the following tables the stock price is for the close of trading on April 30th, Month % Chg is compared to March 31st, YTD % Chg is compared to December 31, 2014, and the 16 Mos % Chg is compared to December 31, 2013.
