Covid-19 rates continue to decline in some states but in others mainly in CA they continue to rise.  How has the job market reacted to this?  We’ll know this Friday as July’s job will be released on Friday Aug 7, 2020 by the US Labor Department.

Congress in the meantime continues to debate the next stimulus package.  Democrats want a $3T package and extension to the $600/Week unemployment benefits as the 1st one expired last Friday.  Republicans want a $1T package but limitations on the extension to the unemployment benefits.  The decision is supposed to be between Aug 10 – Sept 6.  Will both parties close the gap in their relief packages and reach a decision by then?

Earnings season continues.  Here are some of the big companies that will report their Q2 earnings this week.

Weekly Picks of Stocks (June 29, 2020)

All 3 major indices(Dow Jones, S&P500 & Nasdaq) closed down last week.  Several states(Texas, Arizona, California, Florida and Nevada) showed sharp spike in their Covid-19 cases.  As a country US reported the highest daily cases the past week.

Experts claim this is not due to increased testing.  As a result those states are either re-closing the businesses or pausing their re-opening all together.

The increase was widely seen as the reason for the decline the past week.  Although most states are showing a decline in Covid-19 cases.

This week June’s jobs numbers will be released on Thursday.  Consensus is that it will show more jobs were added in June compared to May.  Unemployment numbers are also expected to decline.

What will the investors value this week?  Job or Covid-19 numbers?

Check our Top 5 stocks from the Energy Sector or Communications Sector for some ideas.

Weekly Picks of Stocks (Jun 22, 2020)

The following is a list of stocks for the week of Jun 15, 2020 – Jun 19, 2020 that show bullish and bearish trends.

Following a nice gain on Monday last week the Dow 30 Index remained flat the rest of the week.  The Covid-19 cases are increasing in some of the states that re-opened their economies.  Some of the increases are not reflective of more testing. 

Real estate market data for May will be released this week.  The numbers are expected to lower than May last year but higher than April, 2020.   Will this offset the Covid-19 fears this week?

As for retail, NKE(Nike) will announce their earnings this week.  As with all retail for this quarter NKE earnings are expected to be down.   However, re-opening of the economy will benefit NKE in Q2.

Weekly Picks of Stocks (June 15, 2020)

The following is a list of stocks for the week of Jun 08, 2020 – Jun 12, 2020 that show bullish and bearish trends.

Based on our analysis, trader trend is still bearish despite the increase in the overall markets on Friday after the Dow Jones index dropped almost 2000 points on Thursday.  We noticed the same 2 weeks prior as well.

Last week we noted LULU was showing bearish trend and they were scheduled to release their earning on Thursday.  The earnings came low, as expected.  Since our blog last Monday LULU has dropped 8%.  If you didn’t short this company last week it may be good to look for an opportunity to go long now.  Their income will go back up as re-opening of the economy in the US is well underway.

Weekly Picks of Stocks (Jun 1, 2020)

The following is a list of stocks for the week of May 26, 2020 – May 29, 2020 that show bullish and bearish trends.

May jobs report is due this week. US unemployment rate is expected to be 20%.

However, more businesses opened this past week across the country. This should help stabilize the rate of unemployment now and help reduce the rate going forward.

There were few stocks that showed bearish signal this past week and may offer a small bargain.
