Heat Wave

“Summer’s lease hath all too short a date.” — William Shakespeare

Hey, Risers!

‘Tis the Season.

As most of the country has been gripped in a heat wave, investors have been basking in the beginning of earnings season, with its usual suite of ups and downs. These reports will drive a lot of the price action over the next few weeks, so buckle up. We believe our process is well-suited to identify long-term earnings winners and losers.

Shopping, Dropping

The US Department of Commerce reported that retail sales in June rose 0.2% from an upwardly-revised May figure, well below estimates for 0.5% growth. Excluding autos and gasoline, sales rose by 0.3%. 

Our take: It certainly feels like a lot of consumers are pulling back.
