Who can get excited about a 4% annual income stream when stocks like Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) and Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) soar 69% and 92%, respectively, in just eight months? But then the Dow surrendered nearly 1,400 points in two days in October, throwing some cold water on those red-hot gains. Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) fell 5.5% in the market swoon. Amazon retreated 8.1%. And Netflix plunged 9.6%. #-ad_banner-#That doesn’t mean these highfliers are about to crash and burn. In fact, they’ve already… Read More

It felt as if somebody just flipped a switch. On September 28, the last trading day of the third quarter, everything was hunky-dory: major indices were trading near records and investment managers were about to put yet another great quarter to bed. In retrospect, the market rally had already been showing some signs of cracking, with bonds falling and stock leadership changing. But something negative almost always hides beneath the market’s surface — they don’t call it a “wall of worry” for nothing.

After a spectacular, virtually volatility-free bull run, equity markets are a little jittery these days. The excuses, like in the classic film by the same title, are the usual suspects.

But finding value stocks after a decade-long bull run is no easy task. Many stocks trade at the high end of their normal price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio.

Back in March, I outlined my reasons for loving Macy’s (NYSE: M) stock for a long-term portfolio. Entering on a break out of $30.00 per share, the original call panned out to be a solid winner with shares surging to just a smidge below our March 2018 price target of $42.00 per share.  Next, I confidently upped the price target to $50.00 per share. —Recommended Link— There Are 6,568 Investors On “The List…” Will YOU Be Next?

The shares plunged from near $42.00 into the $34.00 zone as investors panicked. Investors who judicially utilize trailing stops booked handsome profits from the initial entry, but those who entered closer to the top tick took a hit so far in the stock.

Learn more here… Just as you wouldn’t buy just anything you found in a clearance bin, you should never buy a stock solely because it’s cheap. Many stocks are cheap for a reason, and the market keeps these stocks at an almost-permanent mark-down because it knows, or senses, trouble. The numbers might say the stock is a bargain, but if no one else starts buying shares (pushing the stock’s price higher), you’ll never realize a profit on your “value” investment. Hence, the term “value trap.” Most of the time, there’s a good reason why everyone is avoiding these seemingly attractive stocks. The company might be in a declining industry… or… Read More
