The Goldman Guide

I have never been a fan of index investing as I have always made a living in the active investing role. So, today not only do we rip the cover off of the index investing approach but highlight secrets that the indexers don’t want to admit---and some of those secrets are direct ways to use their attributes to succeed in active investing. Oh the irony…

Four out of five investors surveyed said that if you read The Goldman Guide each week, you will be smarter than your neighbors. And certainly better looking. Well, I don’t know about the smarter part…

Not sure which way stocks are going to move? Join the club. Didn’t think you could find a $1.50 stock that trades less than 4x this year’s EPS? Take a chance with this stock generating hundreds of millions in revenue.

See why the month of May is the most important one for you and your investments. And, you don’t want to miss our $5 NASDAQ stock of the week that could jump 20% this week alone!

There is no doubt about it anymore. In the near term, big caps are primed to lag behind small caps which have already strongly out-performed their larger brethren since the February 2016 lows.  So what does that mean for the future? Plus, check out our pick of the week, a low-priced tech stock slated to report 1Q16 financials on Thursday. 

Check out the 3 signs that point to a big move for the market and small caps in particular this week, lasting through mid-May. Plus, see why this week is so important for all stocks and which small cap stock could beat estimates for the 5th straight quarter.

Politicians and market strategists are flip-flopping on everything these days. Despite the cray talk, we identify what’s really going on, the sectors primed to thrive and what sector to avoid because of the recent bad weather.

See why you should be bullish in April but prepared for declines in May. In fact, there are quite a few signs out there that signal a really strong April only to be followed by a drop in May due to the Sell in May and Go Away crowd using potentially poor earnings performances a trigger.  In fact, we may reach a record we don’t want to reach next month which could spark a sell-off.  Nonetheless, at least for now, a number of investment pros have now become decidedly bullish in just the past few days.

Not to be outdone, we introduce a new feature “Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down” where we profile to big name stocks. It’s pretty cool and amusing too, as we channel our inner Siskel and Ebert.

We may be in a waffling period for stocks right now but we have uncovered 3 signs that may portend troubling times ahead.

The info in this week’s edition of The Goldman Guide is important not just for this week, but heading into mid-May. With that in mind, here are the key topics:

• Better to be a glass half full investor than a doomsday investor.

• Oil is done its run, and we are nearing the end of Q1. That means 3 key things are occurring which will dramatically impact stocks.

• Some sectors and stocks are oversold despite their outlook and valuation.  Our stats on health care will shock you.

• How is this for attractive? A small cap health care stock growing earnings by around 30% annually, with a history of beating estimates, and with projections on the rise. Yet it is down for the year. Looks like big upside ahead exists here.
