Tesla Stands Out As The Preferred Growth Name
Tesla has been on a roll lately, rising sharply as other high-quality growth names are being chomped by the jaws of a bear market. With all the drama and turmoil surrounding this company, it’s surprising to see that this stock is up about 10% YTD. Tesla has had some wicked moves, though, and no doubt […]
Single Stock Earnings Volatility Is Now The Highest Since The Financial Crisis
One week ago, with roughly half of earnings season in the books, FactSet and Bank of America revealed an ominous statistic about the jumpiness (or perhaps “peak earnings”) of the market: in a curious twist, companies that had reported positive earnings surprises for Q3 2018 were punished by the market, with their stock price decreasing by -0.5% two days […]

Tech Is Back At The Top
