SWI QuickPicks Ratings Report
Portfolio Value Up 2.8 % From Last Report
September 15, 2015
This has been truly a rough market over the last few weeks and the S&P is down 9.7% since March of this year, ironically ending nearly at the same level at 1,953 where it ended in September of 2014 with 1,961. Not much movement for the S&P here it seems, but certainly lots of drastic ups and downs during that year testing our nerves and risk tolerance thoroughly. Comparatively, our QuickPicks seem to look pretty good, being up 12.8% during the same time period.
Now everybody is waiting for the Feds decision this week; hoping for a gentle withdrawal of the zero percent interest rate. While the VIX is at 20, most analyst seem to agree that interest rates simply cannot remain at zero forever. Analysts, including ourselves, also agree that a potential raise has already been discounted into the current share prices. While we may see a short term emotionally motivated sell-off, the market should react positively when rational thinking returns. The Bull Market is NOT OVER.
We have downgraded one stock and upgraded two; we have not initiated any new stocks this week. Our next "SWI Portfolio Performance" report will be released by the beginning of next week.
Note: We deliberately do not use the terms "buy", "hold" or "sell", but instead use "neutral", "upgrade" and "downgrade" in our QuickPicks list. This is based on our philosophy that our QuickPicks list does not promote the buying and selling of specific stocks, but wants to assist with your overall investment decision and provide rational guidance. Please note the stocks that we have dropped when we adjusted the portfolio.
Remember, in addition to our own research for our QuickPicks section, we pour over charts, third party analyst opinions and reports from such firms and individuals that we respect, in order to reach as much of a market consensus as possible. Naturally, on occasion the investment thesis for certain picks may break down. When that happens, we try and let you know as quickly as possible. Again, do not rely on our guidance alone, but exercise your own due diligence and stick to your trading plan.
Please try out our new service www.swiresearch.com. We would appreciate if you could please pass this on to your friends and colleagues and we always appreciate your feedback and comments.
