Earnings Report Card: Why Estimate Cuts Aren’t a Red Flag March 6, 2026 What My System Says Today - Before I get into the “bullish” and “bearish” earnings for next week, I want to analyze estimates for the upcoming quarters. We are nearing the end of this earnings season, so analysts are starting to make their projections for the first quarter of 2026 and beyond. Two things stand out here: Analysts are starting to […]
The World’s #1 Energy Superhighway Is Now Under Threat March 4, 2026 What My System Says Today - At its narrowest point, the Strait of Hormuz is just 21 miles wide. Yet, this slender stretch of water is one of the most critical trade corridors on Earth — linking Europe, Asia and the Middle East. An average of 138 vessels — most of them Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) and liquefied natural gas […]
Earnings Report Card: Why Revenue Growth Is Setting the Tone for Earnings Season February 27, 2026 What My System Says Today - Welcome to another earnings Friday at What My System Says Today. Before I get into “bullish” and “bearish” earnings, I want to start with revenue. Every company aims to grow its revenue every quarter and every year. It doesn’t always work out that way, but the goal remains the same. Revenue growth is important because […]
Inside the Infrastructure Behind the AI Boom February 25, 2026 What My System Says Today - Welcome from the frigid, grassy plains of Kansas, as I spend a week with my grandson before returning to the sun of South Florida. Today, I want to unpack a topic you hear about a lot in financial media, but that many investors don’t fully understand: hyperscalers. A hyperscaler is a massive provider of cloud, […]
Earnings Report Card: A Big Earnings Week Ahead for Software Stocks February 20, 2026 What My System Says Today - It’s another earnings Friday here at What My System Says Today… and next week is shaping up to be a real doozy for software stocks. No other corner of the market has been as directly impacted by the meteoric rise of AI as the ongoing AI boom… and in fact, recent releases by AI pioneer Anthropic […]
The Momentum Secret Behind Every Big Winner February 18, 2026 What My System Says Today - The New York Yankees in the 1950s … the Boston Celtics from 1956 to 1969 … the Chicago Bulls of the ‘90s… These teams all have something in common. Of course, they’re all perfect examples of sports dynasties, but that’s not what I’m thinking of. These four teams show momentum in action. Today, I’m going […]
Who Wins From a Weaker Dollar? February 13, 2026 What My System Says Today - I compared earnings and revenue growth in fourth-quarter 2025 across S&P 500 companies with stronger international exposure, weaker international exposure, and the benchmark as a whole.
What I found was that companies with a limited global presence have grown earnings and revenue by 10% and 7.7%, respectively. By comparison, those U.S.-based companies on the S&P 500 with more than 50% of revenue coming from outside the country have grown earnings by 18% and revenue by nearly 12%.
What’s Really Driving Gold’s Rise… and How to Play It February 11, 2026 What My System Says Today - Since the beginning of 2026, gold prices have increased nearly 28% while the S&P 500 has only jumped 3%. To folks outside the investing world, the uptrend in gold prices is linked to geopolitical conflict or market volatility.
It only makes sense. When global unrest or periods of heightened market volatility occur, investors often scramble for a “safe haven” to protect their wealth.
Can Healthcare Stocks Snap Out of Their Earnings Slump? February 6, 2026 What My System Says Today - It's been a rough year for healthcare stocks. Are we due for a pleasant earnings surprise next week in the heath sector? 
Value or Growth? I Have a Better Suggestion February 4, 2026 What My System Says Today - Historically, periods of growth or value outperformance are cyclical.
From 1980 to 1988, value mildly outperformed growth. From 1988 to 2000, it was the other way around.
From 2000 to 2007, value obliterated growth stocks.
More recently, it has been growth stocks that have carried the day for investors.
However, things may be changing…
