The propulsion of money being funneled into the top five mega caps ($200B+) continues to astound the market with lopsided parity among major indexes. For example, the total market cap of all the companies in the entire S&P 500 on December 22 was $40.73T with a sizable chunk of that represented by just five companies: … Continue reading 5Jan22: Mega Cap Madness

For 2022 I have ten picks where I’ll note today’s market caps (before opening bell) and then circle back in a year to see how we’ve done. I’ll also continue to track the Dirty Dozen group that began October 7th on a monthly basis, but I wanted to have a pure play one year sample… Continue reading 3Jan22: One Year Challenge

The S&P 500 is having another monster rally to close out the year and is just shy of a 30% return YTD. As mentioned in an earlier post: eye-popping returns. But look closely and you’ll see that the bulk of the success is due to just 5 companies: Apple (APPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Tesla… Continue reading 28Dec21: Planetary Pull

As we close out the first year of this blog, I want to continue to emphasize the importance of seizing opportunities when they arise and use available “powder” to keep buying shares, especially during dips. That is how you win this long term game of investing: dollar-cost-averaging in good growth companies. Given the extreme value… Continue reading 23Dec21: Ten for 2022

Investors aren’t singing CalAmp’s (CAMP) song this morning after their earnings report yesterday… but a 26% selloff is a pretty extreme reaction to supply chain issues. Many analysts are reiterating their buy ratings and with the company now below the $300M micro-cap zone, we have a wonderful entry point here. CalAmp (CAMP) $262M “Some people… Continue reading 22Dec21: CAMP-town Races

The programmatic ad sector, 3D additive printing and micro/small cap biotech continue to get whupped in 2021. It’s pretty unreal, but note that these areas are the future (which is what investing is all about: future revenue and earnings). It’s nice to see Apple (APPL) nearing $3T and Microsoft (MSFT) at $2.5T but these high… Continue reading 14Dec21: Punching Bags
