Weekly Market Outlook January 19, 2014
Weekly Market Outlook:
Pfäffikon SZ – The coming week is all about company figures. We note that the U.S. markets, because of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, are closed on Monday. While the earnings season has just begun it is uninspiring up till now. To let the markets evolve to a higher level, the corporate profits should improve structurally. In addition, the outlook should be excellent. The question is whether this will be the case. Heavyweight IBM – one of our investments – will publish their company figures coming week. There is a chance that IBM can not jet fulfill the expectations of the Street. It’s not something that concerns us at this time. We notice that the Wallstreet bears are targeting IBM and that they may not yet be ready. The fact is that IBM is a very solid company, attractively priced at the current share price level.
