“The successful warrior is the average man with laser like focus.”- Bruce Lee

Market Commentary:

The market is ready for an upward move, lots of great-looking setups.

• The US infrastructure buildout looks like a multi-year theme. We see dozens of great looking companies that can benefit as America first policies are rolled out. There are several great-looking companies in this new growth industry. 
• “The IndusTeck Bounce” – my new reason for optimism. Definition- The economy’s bounce resulting in America’s industries using new technology to enhance productivity.
• The new 52-week low list is tiny, a very bullish sign. It is a market green light.
• Having just rebalanced The Trust 200 Index for 2025, based on the FACTS model of the “most trustworthy companies in America” I am more convinced than ever that America’s future is bright.
• The Trust 200 Index had another year in 2024 showing you do not need to take excess risk to generate excellent returns. A diversified group of high-quality companies with great cash flow will do well in most environments, and over time. Follow the index at this link.

Economic data and market clues:

“Let’s Give Growth a Chance” – a new song for the new administration. It will solve a lot of problems.

Earnings season is in full gear. If your companies are not growing revenue, look elsewhere. The stuff in between the top line and the bottom line is where the sausage is made. Be careful.

The pro-growth and America first policies that the new administration will promote further optimism. 

Inflation is 3%, bonds yield 4.5%- move on, there is not much more to think about here.
