Norfolk Southern announced that its third quarter will be disappointing, and the news has shocked the rail sector. Is the weakness more indicative of a secular decline in rail traffic for a key commodity or is the economy slowing?
Join President Brian Nelson and members of the Valuentum analyst team for a presentation at the local chapter of the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) in Chicago.
Oracle’s first-quarter earnings came in as expected, but revenues were light. We like some of the firm’s recent M&A, but we prefer other tech holdings in our Best Ideas portfolio.
But how, you will ask, does one decide what [stocks are] "attractive"? Most analysts feel they must choose between two approaches customarily thought to be in opposition: "value" and "growth,"...We view that as fuzzy thinking...Growth is always a component of value [and] the very term "value investing" is redundant.
At Valuentum, we take Buffett's thoughts one step further. We think the best opportunities arise from an understanding of a variety of investing disciplines in order to identify the most attractive stocks at any given time. Valuentum therefore analyzes each stock across a wide spectrum of philosophies, from deep value through momentum investing. And a combination of the two approaches found on each side of the spectrum (value/momentum) in a name couldn't be more representative of what our analysts do here; hence, we're called Valuentum.
