LSA – Fusion IQ Stock Revisions

Every quarter the LSA IQ models will be updated based on the FusionIQ’s algorithms. FusionIQ’s proprietary four-dimensional scoring model includes but is not limited to: valuation, balance sheet strength, improving financials, price momentum, sentiment, and a broad range of technical factors. The models are grounded in the belief that simpler is better, but more relevant information is preferred to less. The value-add of the IQ models comes from the stability presented using quality, time-tested factors, and from providing a dynamic weighting scheme which amplifies the models effectiveness by adjusting the factor weights for various market environments. The LSA IQ stock models update quarterly and are now posted for the October 1st, 2019 updates.

Weekly Economic Update

Economic Update 9-30-2019

Economic data for the week included positive results for personal income and spending, as well as durable goods orders, jobless claims, and a variety of housing metrics. Consumer confidence measures were mixed, however.

Global equity markets declined to varying degrees last week, with lack of positive progress on U.S.-China trade and potential for a brewing political crisis in the U.S. Governments bonds fared better, as investors fled risk, outperforming corporate and foreign debt. Commodities generally declined along with a stronger dollar, including a sharp decline again in crude oil as supply concerns waned. Continue reading

Weekly Economic Update

Economic Update 8-05-2019

  • Last week saw the Federal Reserve reduce interest rates, largely as expected, although the official statement language was mixed. Positively, consumer confidence rose last week, as did personal income and housing, while manufacturing results showed some weakness. The employment situation report for July came in largely as expected, showing decent growth, although the pace of improvement has slowed.
  • Equity markets in the U.S. and abroad declined several percent during the week, due to announcements of new tariffs on China and Fed policy language being less accommodative than expected. Conversely, bonds fared very well as interest rates across the yield curve declined sharply. Commodities also declined on net, with energy and industrial metals falling in price.
