Making (Of) A Statement
I am decidedly in favor of going back to the way it was twenty-five years ago. These constant communications from the Federal Reserve, designed to increase transparency, have accomplished the opposite. Alan Greenspan was made famous for first being an accidental genius (no, it wasn’t massive offshore monetary growth that made the Great “Moderation”, it […]
Industrials, Technology Beating Earnings At The Highest Rate
As highlighted in our prior post, the percentage of companies that have beaten consensus analyst EPS estimates this season stands at 71.6%. Any reading over 70% is very strong relative to past earnings seasons. Below we take the beat rate analysis a step further and look at sector beat rates this season. As shown, five sectors […]
PolarityTE Up 15% After Reporting On Autologous Bone Product
Shares of PolarityTE (COOL), a commercial-stage biotechnology and regenerative biomaterials company focused on discovering, designing and developing a range of regenerative tissue products and biomaterials, are rising after the company announced results demonstrating that the company’s autologous bone product in development, OsteoTE, regenerated complex, hierarchically-organized, corticocancellous bone within critically-sized bone defects in standard preclinical large […]
PayPal Tumbles As Amazon Muscles Into Digital Payments
Amazon is breaking out the classic Jeff Bezos playbook as it seeks to steal some more market share and claw business away from PayPal and credit-card issuing banks while establishing itself as master of the “single button” digital-payment solution of the future. Case in point: Bloomberg reports that the e-commerce giant is offering retailers who sell products […]
Regression To Trend: Another Look At Long-Term Market Performance – Wednesday, May 2
Quick take: At the end of April the inflation-adjusted S&P 500 index price was 108% above its long-term trend, down from 112% the previous month. About the only certainty in the stock market is that, over the long haul, over performance turns into underperformance and vice versa. Is there a pattern to this movement? Let’s apply […]

5 Best-Performing Health Care Mutual Funds Of Q1
In the first quarter, among the three major U.S. indexes, both the Dow and the S&P 500 finished in the red. Although healthcare was one such S&P 500 sector that registered declines in the first quarter, it surpassed all the other sectors to witness highest venture capital funding. Such a high level of venture capital […]
The Relative Price Of Housing And Subsequent GDP Growth In The USA
The great recession of 2008-9 followed an extraordinary house price bubble. The sluggish was characterized by a very slow recovery of residential investment. Oddly, the extensive revision of macroeconomic models which implied a very low probability of great recessions has not involved a focus on housing. Instead, it has focused on financial frictions – essentially […]
Q1 Beat Rates Remain Strong
More than 1,000 companies have now reported Q1 2018 earnings, and at this point, earnings and revenue beat rates remain very strong for a second consecutive quarter. (For further clarity, the “beat rate” is the percentage of companies over a given time period that report actual numbers that are stronger than consensus analyst estimates.) So […]
