The media industry has, arguably, the worst ratio of industry returns to how much the industry is discussed or analyzed. Over the past couple of decades, media is where investors’ capital has gone to die. So when I started sorting through the list of companies that have beaten the market over the longer term (at least 15 years), I was surprised to find one media company on the list: Nexstar Media Group Inc. (NXST), explains Tyler Crowe, author of Misfit Alpha.
Brady Corp. (BRC) was incorporated in 1914 and is headquartered in Milwaukee. The company manufactures and supplies identification solutions (IDS) and workplace safety (WPS) products to identify and protect premises, products, and people, says Kelley Wright, editor of Investment Quality Trends.
As The Elliott Wave Financial Forecast (EWFF) explained in November 2023, recent market action is “simply what happens at the biggest tops. Technology breaks through in some fundamental way, only to yield to a future that is the opposite of the boom that participants cannot stop anticipating.” The state of the electric car industry is a cautionary tale that Artificial Intelligence (AI) backers might want to heed, writes Steven Hochberg, chief market analyst at Elliott Wave Trader.
Stocks closed out last week on a weak note, but they’re trying to bounce back today. Crude oil is modestly higher again, while gold, silver, Treasuries, and the dollar are flattish.
Construction spending from the federal infrastructure spending bill passed in 2021 is expected to increase substantially in the coming years, and that’ll be a boon for Eagle Materials (EXP). The Dallas-based firm produces both heavy and light construction materials, including concrete, construction aggregate, gypsum, wallboard, and sand for hydraulic fracturing, notes Mike Cintolo, editor of Cabot Top Ten Trader.
Airgain, Inc. (AIRG) specializes in simplifying wireless connectivity across the value chain, from embedded components to integrated systems. The company’s antennas, modems, and systems cater to access points, IoT applications, and smart devices across enterprise, consumer, and automotive markets, writes George Gilder, editor of Gilder’s Technology Report.
Two weeks ago we did a comprehensive follow-up on our Advance Auto Parts (AAP) position. Now, the Wall Street Journal just broke a story that Dan Loeb’s Third Point had accumulated a large activist stake in AAP and gained three seats on the Board. The stock jumped yet again, but I think the move has barely begun, explains Tom Hayes, editor of Hedge Fund Tips.
Small-cap stocks continue to underperform their larger peers, though the S&P 600 Small-Cap Index ETF (IJR) has been inching higher toward resistance at 110. It’s possible that with expectations for the first rate cut being pushed out to June (currently, subject to change) that my expected small-cap rally has been similarly delayed. In the meantime, I like Enovix Corp. (ENVX) as a buy, writes Tyler Laundon, editor of Cabot Small-Cap Confidential.

Many traditional approaches to dividend investing do not truly address the need for defense as part of the income investing equation.  Robert will introduce his proprietary research and development of a dividend stock selection process called YARP (Yield At a Reasonable Price). YARP prioritizes risk management and total return by identifying stocks with historically high dividend yields that are currently undervalued and have the potential for price appreciation. "Dividend" does not always mean "safe." YARP seeks to address that. He will review the process and history of YARP investing, which he used to manage stock portfolios and a mutual fund during his "past life" as an investment advisor. Now a full-time investment researcher and publisher, he will explain how investors use the YARP concept to deliver sufficient cash flow from dividend income, keep losses in a tolerable range, and develop their own repeatable, systematic total return investment process.
