As we’re waitin on Yellen, we review thematic data points

As we’re waitin on Yellen, we review thematic data points

While the decision appears to be a foregone conclusion, given all the data we’ve reviewed and re-reviewed here at Tematica Research the past few weeks, the reality is we’re all waiting in anticipation for Janet Yellen and crew to announce this afternoon what we already know — that the Fed will once again do nothing and leave interest rates remained unchanged.

Of course, the devil will be in the details, and the wording of the statement could lead to a ruckus in the market should the Fed be less than clear… again.

Yes, folks, the language in this afternoon’s official statement will be overly prodded, poked and dissected to determine what may come next, and unfortunately, as so often is the case lately, a jumpy Wall Street could very well fail to read between the lines and comprehend what Yellen and the other “Fed heads” are really communicating.

Ahead of that event, we are staying pat with the Tematica Investing Select List… for now. We’ll let the dust settle, and then decide what moves we want to make.

In today’s issue (a comparably short one to last week’s MONSTER 18-pager!) we recap favorable data points that add credence to our decisions to scale into several thematic positions last week. Later this week, we get more data points to watch in the form August Existing Home Sales and quarterly earnings from Finish Line (FINL), and so we dig into those a bit and dissect what we’ll be looking for.

Chris Versace, Chief Investment Officer
I'm the Chief Investment Officer of Tematica Research and editor of Tematica Investing newsletter. All of that capitalizes on my near 20 years in the investment industry, nearly all of it breaking down industries and recommending stocks. In that time, I've been ranked an All Star Analyst by Zacks Investment Research and my efforts in analyzing industries, companies and equities have been recognized by both Institutional Investor and Thomson Reuters’ StarMine Monitor. In my travels, I've covered cyclicals, tech and more, which gives me a different vantage point, one that uses not only an ecosystem or food chain perspective, but one that also examines demographics, economics, psychographics and more when formulating my investment views. The question I most often get is "Are you related to…."
