Answer: are prevalent in the financial press this time of Relationship Investing by Jeffrey F. Weiss is a great year. For the uninitiated, “sell in May” is based on read for beginners and veteran investors alike. It is the fact that investing in the Dow, excluding a book of insights with invaluable advice; such as, dividends since 1950 between May 1st and concentrate on what you stand to lose if you are October 31st, would have produced negative wrong, not on your potential gain if you’re correct. results.

Apple (AAPL) infamously topped right around as the broader market topped out. Then, it went to on to lower forward guidance. Apple was not alone, as Amazon (AMZN), Nvidia (NVDA), and many other corporate bellwethers sounded alarm bells over forward projections.

However, Q4 earnings were not as bad as many market participants had imagined, and here we are, in Q1 2019 earnings season, and most companies appear to be providing robust results. Perhaps more importantly, there doesn’t appear to be much troubling forward guidance, suggesting the growth scare of late last year was mostly just a scare, and actual growth appears to be moving forward at an acceptable pace.

While the earnings season is still in its early stages, some notable companies have reported, and most earnings announcements appear very healthy. For instance, Netflix (NFLX) beat EPS estimates by 33%, of America (BAC) beat by 8%, CSX Corp. (CSX) beat by 12%, Citi (C) beat by 5%, Goldman Sachs (GS) beat by 20%, etc. There appear to be more earnings beats than misses, and forward guidance, while cautious at some companies, does not appear to suggest that a recession will materialize in the immediate future (next 12 months).

Stocks which are added to the Relative Strength Ratings are not buy recommendations. Conversely, stocks that are deleted from the ratings are not sell recommendations. Basically, the ratings can be thought of as our watchlist. The Relative Strength Ratings represent our way of tracking high relative strength stocks. By high relative strength, we are referring to stocks that are significantly stronger than the overall market, as of the day of publication of the newsletter. These are the stocks we are currently monitoring and are potential buy candidates.

Actual performance results of the Actual Cash Account represent the performance of one continuous account managed by The Chartist, Inc. (“The Chartist”). The performance results reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other account earnings, and are net of applicable account transaction and custodial charges. Past performance may not be indicative of future results and the performance of a specific individual client or newsletter subscriber’s account may vary substantially from the performance results. No current or prospective client or subscriber should assume that future performance will be profitable, equal the performance results reflected above, or that any of the above holdings (or the account) is suitable for his/her individual situation. All performance results have been compiled solely by The Chartist, are unaudited, and have not been independently verified. Information pertaining to The Chartist’s investment advisory operations, services, and fees is set forth in The Chartist’s current written disclosure statement, a copy of which is available from The Chartist upon request.

If the subscriber were to become a managed account of The Chartist to manage a portfolio similar to the Actual Cash Account, performance would be reduced by 1.25% annually, reflecting the maximum investment management fee that would have been charged by The Chartist under its current managed accounts fee schedule. For reasons including variances in actual account holdings, variances in the investment management fee incurred, market fluctuation, the date on which a client engaged The Chartist’s managed account services, and any account contributions or withdrawals, the performance of a specific client’s account may vary substantially from the above indicated results.
