Brexit Vote, the Fed, Slowing Growth, Trump and Clinton . . . Oh My Says the Stock Market!

Brexit Vote, the Fed, Slowing Growth, Trump and Clinton . . . Oh My Says the Stock Market!

Currently, we are dealing with a market that is seesawing around as it attempts to come to grips with slowing growth expectations, even though oil prices have continued to inch higher. But even more uncertainty is on the horizon. Looking ahead, there are a growing number of unknowns in the market, ranging from:

  • The Brexit vote
  • Prospects of the Fed boosting rates in June
  • Aggressive growth expectations in the back half of 2016
  • And the chaos of the 2016 presidential election

Taken alone, any one of these uncertainties is enough to jostle the market around. When combined, they have enough boom to take the wind out of the sails of the recent market rally. As the stock market remains choppy, with mounting uncertainties to be had, we continue to follow our thematic strategy, adding positions prudently only when the time is right.

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…."
