Confident Investor comments: At this time, I think that a Confident Investor can cautiously invest in Las Vegas Sands Corp. as long as the price is correct. Most of the fundamentals of this company are good but there are some concerns. I will leave Las Vegas Sands Corp. on my Watch List for now to see if it improves.

The market was generally good last week and should be good this week as well. More concern is on geo-political events that could cause a pullback. There is a very good chance that the week will be flat so individual stock choices will be important.

The market was generally good last week and should be good this week as well even though the indicators for the entire market are not extremely optimistic. More concern is on geo-political events that could cause a pullback. Be cautious with any stock that is setting a 52-week (or close to it) as I do not believe the big investors are excited about big new growth.
