COMMENT
Market concerns. Investors are nervous. Possibility that the Fed will increase rates as the economy slows. We've seen short-term rallies, but no follow-through. If you look back a year ago, we saw strong increases. It will be difficult to show Y/Y increases. If we see declines, plus moderation in inflation, the market might have to look through that and then start to recover. Expects choppiness through the next quarter. Then, it will depend on geopolitical events, economic numbers, and where rate increases are going.
COMMENT
Portfolio positioning. Opportunities in select sectors like energy, add on dips. Risk in price of oil due to geopolitical tensions, but even if the price does pull back, these oil companies are generating a lot of cashflow. Selectively in financials. Banks are expected to have slower growth, but will have higher earnings with higher rates. Consumer staples. Gold really starting to increase, and this should mean positive things for producers.
BUY
Non-hospital surgical and rehab equipment. Will grow both organically and by acquisition. Acquisitions have been delayed. Hit estimated revenue number, and this should continue. Obtained financing. Pipeline of deals. Earnings will be lumpy. Likes management. If it weren't too small, he'd make it a Top Pick.
