There were several notable data points and macroeconomic developments since our last review. But for now, there’s no reason to believe there’ll be a challenge that the economy and the markets won’t be able to overcome over time. The long game remains undefeated, and it’s a streak long-term investors can expect to continue, observes Sam Ro, editor of TKer.co.
No, it’s not an April Fool’s Day joke. Stocks reversed after an ugly open yesterday and closed higher (except for the Nasdaq, that is). Unfortunately, we’re giving back some of that ground today. Crude oil is flat along with the dollar, while gold, silver, and Treasuries are a bit higher.
We are launching coverage of Cheniere Energy Inc. (LNG) with a “Buy” rating and a $255 target price. As the first domestic energy company to be approved for LNG exports, Cheniere is well positioned for earnings growth over the next several years, highlights John Staszak, analyst at Argus Research.

Every once in a while, I’ll see a chart that begs a simple question: “If you didn't know what this stock or fund was, would you buy it?” That was the case recently with the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT).

Stocks added to Friday's gains yesterday, but they're taking a breather this morning. Gold is rallying again along with silver and crude oil, while Treasuries and the dollar are flattish.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Stocks are mixed in the early going, though investors are hoping we’ll see some green later after a strong rally Friday. Gold, silver, Treasuries, and the dollar are mostly flat, while oil is up a bit.

There are no sure-shot techniques for market forecasting and analysis. If one were developed, it wouldn’t work for long, since as everyone applied it, its foundation would change significantly. There’s an excess of data in the world today, so the trick is to spot the one or two key variables in a specific time. They could be Fed policy, consumer behavior, foreign trade wars, etc. Any these factors could change, sometimes several times, throughout the year. That’s why it’s important to keep up with market news and the ever-changing conditions. For a framework to add value, it must entail market-moving events that have a good chance of occurring, but are not yet within the consensus.
