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.

As always, my thoughts should only be used for educational purposes and any decision by the reader to use this information is subject to my disclaimer. In addition to the disclaimer, the stocks mentioned may have changed value from the time I wrote this to the time that you are reading it; therefore, the conclusions below may no longer be valid. The analysis on any investment indicator is always a short-term thought and just by being in this list the stock already is a long-term Good Company  or Fair Company and made my Watch List. If you are looking for long-term analysis of the stock, you should look for the stock in the company list that appears to the far right.

My analysis in this article is based on the investment indicator tools that I describe in my book, “The Confident Investor.” If you are not subscribed to this site as a book owner, then you will not be able to see some of the analysis. You can purchase my book wherever books are sold such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Books A Million.

Investment Indicator Thoughts

S&P 500

NASDAQ Composite
The NASDAQ Composite (the ticker is ^IXIC and the second line of my investment indicator articles). This index is starting to show signs of slowing down. It will continue to be important to choose great individual stocks.

The market was generally good last week and should be good this week as well. Retail oriented stocks tended to have good announcements which may signal a positive couple weeks for any stock that is driven by consumer spending. 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.

Investment Indicator Thoughts

S&P 500
The general S&P 500 (ticker is ^GSPC and the first line of my investment indicator articles). It was a tough week last week with this index seeing an early rise primarily due to good news of certain retail stocks and then falling at the end of the week but still ending the week slightly ahead. This was caused by geo-political events along with some less than excellent results for Q2. I think this week will also continue to have challenges with last week ending with negative MACD and Fast EMA underwater, so investors should be cautious.

NASDAQ Composite
The NASDAQ Composite (the ticker is ^IXIC and the second line of my investment indicator articles). It was a tough week last week with this index seeing an early rise primarily due to good news of certain retail stocks and then falling at the end of the week but still ending the week slightly ahead. This was caused by geo-political events along with some less than excellent results for Q2. I think this week will also continue to have challenges with last week ending with negative Fast EMA underwater, so investors should be cautious.

There is a very good chance that the week will be flat so individual stock choices will be important.

Investment Indicator Thoughts

S&P 500
The general S&P 500 (ticker is ^GSPC and the first line of my investment indicator articles). Last week was a good growth week even though it was interrupted by Independence Day holiday. This week is the beginning of Q2 earnings announcements. It is possible that any stock could see significant movement in pricing due to unexpectedly good or bad news. Vigilence is warranted during this time.

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.

Investment Indicator Thoughts

S&P 500
The general S&P 500 (ticker is ^GSPC and the first line of my investment indicator articles). While there is some weakness in the MACD, this indicator continued to climb last week. I would expect a continued overal increase or potentially flat movement this week.

NASDAQ Composite
The NASDAQ Composite (the ticker is ^IXIC and the second line of my investment indicator articles). While there is some weakness in the MACD, this indicator continued to climb last week. I would expect a continued overal increase or potentially flat movement this week.
