Friday Investment Talk: Reasons For Bulls
As seasonality turns bullish, we look at fundamental changes in economic indicators and technical market action. We see many opportunities in equities and highlight healthcare, natural resources, and technology companies.
Sounding Off
The US home audio market continues to grow. A small, but highly relevant player has multiple lawsuits out against bigger players. Judges rulings have been positive initially, and a main date is coming in Q4 for a final decision.
Fracking Further
We highlighted this US oil producer as a short term trade recently, but now provide a more long-term, in-depth outlook on its bullish prospects.
Growth REIT
This REIT has made some interesting acquisitions and is likely to grow robustly as self-storage trends continue as rent rates increase. Currently, the stock has pulled back to an interesting point.
Natural Resources Asset Manager
One of the world’s largest and most diversified alternative asset managers with significant revenue streams from utilities, REITs, oil and gas provides a good entry point.
Housing Resources
Assuming the world economy is entering a period of global stagflation and/or accelerating inflation, investments in economies that are closest to the earliest stages of supply chains – ones that have direct exposure to oil and commodities – look most attractive.
The Cost of Green Energy?
We have talked many times before on here about Green Energy, the trend to investing in renewables and how that ties in with important changes in how investments are made and structured, such as the impact of ESG. What we have always found is that there is a great deal of ‘spin’.
October Seasonal Set Up
October is the last month of seasonal weakness for the US equity markets. The recent pullback sets October up for a turn around to start a more bullish period.
Gas Price Crisis in Europe
Gas Futures hit record prices – €79 Mw/h on 15th Sep on October price – that’s up 250% since January – and expectations are that it “may hit three figures”. Its all a bit of a mystery and not a small dose of geopolitics but more importantly how can investors play this scenario?
October: A Bear Killer
October often evokes fear on Wall Street. Equity market distress can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. October is also a turnaround month often called a “bear killer”.
