In leu of our traditional macro-market Research Report framework (fundamentals, quants, technicals), we’re going to do something a little different this week, a webinar in text format. The value of this week’s macro-market Report, therefore, lay within the education as always, but also as a legacy investing framework. Don’t feel too disappointed that you…...
Avoiding the lure of technical, trend-following strategies while expecting higher earnings growth and higher equity market prices has been rewarded in 2026… and pretty much every bull market cycle, but who am I to remind of such investing facts? The earnings trend should always be an investors’ “North Star.” As they go, so goes…
Each week we publish a macro-market Research Report, which has proven best-in-class, at finomgroup.com. Here are some notable excerpts from our recent reports and this Sunday’s publication.

It’s still a Midterm Election year, in case you were wondering. In reasserting and reminding of this fact, I (Edward Cordoba) can recall a great many of our quantitative studies failing to achieve their higher probability outcomes back in 2022.

With Friday’s 1-day flushing of at least the past 3 weeks worth of higher prices, the pullback has materialized. Whether or not there is…...
If it seems so long ago, let us remind you of where this uptrend began…In late February when the U.S./Iran war began, the S&P 500 had already started a minor pullback, which would then become catalyzed by the exogenous war event. With everyone glued to headlines and fearfully selling equities and bonds, we had encouraged…...
There was a reasonable probability that the market would consolidate this past week, but which market and to what degree would have been the ideal questions as returns varied across the major averages. If we turn back the clock ⏰, we can better review the rationale for expecting some degree of price consolidation, even…...
You have probably heard this phrase before: “Context is key.” And it truly often is the case. We’re living through a bubble 🫧, truly! I didn’t say a market bubble 🫧, now did I? It’s not a market bubble but rather an industry bubble. Unless you’ve been living under a rock 🪨 , you probably already…...
Within our annual Outlook reports (2026 Outlook), we often remind investors/traders of the sins from trend-following strategies or technically-driven investing/trading strategies.
