This one was benefited as part of the Trump Trade before that bull in a China shop started breaking things in global trade. So ironically, Materials are now in the cross hairs of the trade tariffs food fight. I hold XLB short, as the position was taken to go with a long position in Specialty Materials company, CBT. I took another in a string of … Continue reading Materials Sector Intrigue
To recap a few other stocks I’ve mentioned publicly over time, they don’t all go as well as hysterical little Trixy. There are the bad to go with the good and the ugly.

It’s pretty much what I mean when I say that … Continue reading Profit & Rotation Time Again; CCMP Out, CBT In
Many years ago Cabot Microelectronics, itself surging on earnings today per the previous post, was spun off by Cabot Corp., an industrial materials and chemical company (and long time maker of the ‘Carbon Black’ found in your Goodyear tires). I was going to buy CBT as well, but was so stretched out time-wise that I failed to realize its earnings were yesterday. Now the opportunity … Continue reading CCMP’s Daddy, Cabot Corp.
