Nonexistent at this point from -- -- all right our next guest says that company a reverse in January effect happening in the markets right now where investors are dumping.
Winning stocks ahead of likely tax hikes.
That's actually the opposite of the usual selling loses in December for the tax implications of what -- shift lead.
To buying opportunities in the new year joining us now is -- senior edited Jack how.
You may have actually coined the reverse gender effect and maybe should you know get a patent that was something -- -- I think that's just an idea how -- -- no way I heard talk about congress are looking for a way to put this.
Congressional clown show to work for your portfolio at a -- you can always make a profit on it.
So the -- you know maybe the idea the idea here is that it.
Take a look at apple right yeah stocks have been a top performer in recent years but this quarter it's gotten killed but a lot of people out there are saying well that's -- telling people are taking -- gain in the stock now because they anticipate.
But the gains -- is going to be is gonna go next year and we don't quite know what's gonna happen but just from that anticipation.
You know could that -- causing people to sell maybe.
I took his broad look at the entire stock market I've found out that the top gainers a top 10% -- gainers over the past three years they've been falling this quarter.
And so maybe there something -- this people trying to take their tax gains early in if that's the case.
Maybe these stocks move rebound -- January when the selling debates thing is selling the witness.
Instead us you know the losers think.
The -- Are you reverse of the typical -- -- affecting mentioned apple which is probably the put the child for this affect you gonna argue but what other stocks.
Why I found out on three more -- Cirrus Logic which is a key component maker for apple makes these no audio devices.
It's the cheapest stock analyst six times earnings it's that -- significance than the book vast majority -- my from one customer but right it's it's -- customer.
On this National Oilwell Varco -- -- top supplier of drilling equipment.
And the -- Ross Stores which one of his off price retailers.
You know they they sort of buy merchandise opportunistically.
And they dig -- kill people were trading down from department stores looking for Peru for breaks.
Basically strapped shoppers -- they've done tremendous business and management thinks they can double the size of the store chain of long term.
She's a good stocks they've just sold off.
This quarter.
I just want to point out this is out of stock market -- that's the stock market hunch so -- -- left that I don't make sure that I wrote about four companies that are cheap.
So even if this reversed Connecticut company that this thing is known about over at January effect is still have a goods capital -- we're not looking just for beaten up stocks you're looking and you -- really keep -- in there and look at the fundamentals as you -- anyway.
Young and -- look for stocks or big winners over the past three years -- and it lost big just this quarter.
And were otherwise cheap so you gonna be okay with a -- longer.
These are financially strong -- cheap companies so.
That is because stocks -- anytime of the year but.
Right now on just a hunch may be the stock from these -- -- in January if -- spent a lot of selling for tax purposes in them this December.
Just abroad now little -- -- we do get some sort of cobble together deal -- on the fiscal along the we have no idea yet it's like.
Nine now is in five minutes -- Do you see it could -- could use it for the equities saw it coming up to 23 things.
-- that if we keep it'd just good not even good with a smile to cook up a straight face I think it'll be okay you know.
It everywhere -- -- investors -- -- with with interest rates this low bond yield so poultry investors are down everywhere and search for yield including dividend paying stocks.
Basically all parts of the -- markets have been squeezed right now prices look free behind some of them but I think stocks US stocks or.
A fair deal right now and -- -- okay earnings growth.
I think valuations look OK and and the best is the companies in the US are financially strong right now so I think it'll be a -- cashier for stock investors next -- Kerry did -- right -- cap tech helping you so much for being here thank you crazy -- thank you so much -- the -- January effect very go we'll just let.
