Thank you again for becoming a Spotlight subscriber

We created Spotlight to answer the question that every investor asks: “What do I do today?”

We lean on more than a decade and a half of experience to bring you well-researched investment ideas that fit any portfolio. As you will see, we target big trends first. Then, we drill down into the individual stocks to find the best ones for our subscribers.

We believe that financial research should be appropriate for anyone, regardless of our investment experience.

You’ll be getting a monthly issue from us on the third Wednesday of every month. And every week, we’ll send you a short update on the trends and companies we’ve got our eyes on.

And right now appears to be the perfect time to collect research and lay out a wish list of companies. Based on this chart of the S&P 500, we have a bear market on our hands:

Classic bear markets are illustrated by a series of lower high-price peaks and lower low-price valleys, both of which you can see in the chart above.

But the S&P 500 probably won’t be in a bear market forever. Anyone who lived through the dot-com crash and the Great Recession knows that downtrends are often followed by our favorite thing: Uptrends.

All this means we have time to prepare. We can build up a great portfolio in time to catch the uptrend as this bear market becomes a new bull market. We can’t say when that will be. But based on history, the S&P 500 tends to recover.

Please take the time to read the report in your account: “How to Capitalize on the Sustainability Movement.” It lays out our investment case – the big trend, the sector specifics, and the individual stock ideas. And our next Spotlight issue is right around the corner.
