With yesterday being the summer solstice — the day on the calendar with the most daylight for those in the Northern Hemisphere — we put those extra minutes to good use and finished up this week’s issue of Tematica Investing a day early!

The stock market teeter tottered this past week as its focus shifted from the June Fed meeting to the pending June 23 Brexit vote. Brexit polls have moved back and forth favoring “Stay” then “Leave” then “Stay” again, ping-ponging the degree of uncertainty. As we know, the stock market abhors uncertainty and has responded in kind based on the latest Brexit poll.

In this week’s Tematica Investing:

• Past the Brexit vote, we will soon have June quarter earnings upon us and that means the coming days may feature earnings pre-announcements. Given these two events we intend to sit on the sidelines until after the July 4th holiday when the we should have a much clearer picture of things.
• We have complete review of the Tematica Select List, and given the sheer size of those updates we are holding back with Ask Tematica this week. Included in these updates are tweaks to our positions in AT&T (T), PetMed Express (PETS) and Physicians Realty Trust (DOC). Read More >>

Your next issue of Tematica Investing will be published on July 6th as we take a needed break to recharge ahead of the upcoming earning season. Rest assured, should circumstance dictate the need to take action, we will be sure to issue a detailed special alert via email to all active subscribers.

Over the last week, we’ve seen quite a shift in investor sentiment — fear and worry has come to the forefront, eclipsing greed. We dug into this data earlier this week in the Monday Morning Kickoff, but the needle has only moved further toward fear in the last few days.

In this week’s edition of Tematica Investing, here is what you’ll find:

• Brexit fears and the growing realization that there indeed is a disconnect between the current stock market valuation compared to global growth and earnings expectations has led to a sentiment shift in the market over the last week. Read More >>
• Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) shares passed through our $390 protective stop, removing them from the Tematica Select List, but we are adding them back to the Tematica Contender List. Read More >>
• We are issuing a BUY rating on Alphabet (GOOGL) shares and putting them on the Tematica Select List as part of our Asset-Lite investing theme. Our target price is $880, and we would be comfortable adding to the position up to $760. Because this is a new long-term position, we are not setting a protective stop loss at this time as we expect to scale into the position in the coming month. Read More >>
• Digging into the May Retail Sales data that was good for our Amazon (AMZN), Nike (NKE), PetMeds Express (PETS) and Physicians Realty Trust (DOC) shares. Read More >>
