Exxon Mobil (XOM) is one of the most explosive stocks of 2022. In fact, since the new year began, the oil stock ran from a low of about $60 up to around $70—all thanks to tight oil supply, heavy demand, geopolitical tension, and earnings and buyback news. Even better: with oil prices showing no signs […]
If you want to spot potential opportunity, pay attention to insider buying. After all, who knows a company better than an insider? In fact, if an executive or board member at a company is buying a sizable number of shares, it’s often a good idea to start looking into why, and perhaps follow them into […]
With much of the focus lately on the electric vehicle (EV) market, one overlooked segment is the companies that make and sell the tires that these cars and trucks will use. With many valuations stretched for the stocks and companies that make EVs, Goodyear Tire & Rubber (GT) seems to be a cheaper way to […]
One of my favorite long-term macroeconomic plays is the worldwide growth of the pet care industry. The sector was already growing rapidly, but the coronavirus pandemic has only accelerated its growth. There was, for example, a 13% year-over-year net increase in dog adoptions in 2020, based on consolidated shelter data and American Kennel Club records. […]
The electric vehicle story is accelerating as we head into 2022. While EV stocks, like Tesla (TSLA) are still red-hot, another one to keep an eye on is XPeng Inc. (XPEV), a $38.6 billion EV company based in China. XPEV stock is technically oversold. However, after pulling back from about $55 to $39, the stock […]

In fact, reports CNBC: “The omicron variant is raging across the world as the winter holiday season approaches. The strain has been found through testing in 43 […]
One of the least well-known companies in the S&P 500 is Mettler Toledo (MTD), the global market leader in laboratory and industrial scales and balances. Mettler Toledo also holds a leading position in product inspection. In its other segments, the company holds an average share of about 25% across most product lines. The company’s laboratory […]
The popular Cathie Wood ETF, ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), continued its run in unusual options trading territory last week. ARKK is a popular speculative stock ETF that holds a lot of the buzzworthy names in the tech world such as TSLA, ZM, and COIN. One interesting trade from the week was a very large call […]
After falling from $68 to a about $55, the oversold pharmaceutical stock is just starting to pivot higher. From a current price of $60.82, we’d like to see the stock retest $69.19. Over the last few days, Bristol Myers Squibb raised its quarterly dividend to $0.54 per share from $0.49, boosting the annual dividend to […]
There is perhaps no more exciting trend in technology today than the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. And what is especially exciting is the fact that my favorite stock in this sector has been beaten down by Wall Street from a high of over $35 a share to around $15 a share […]
