I last reviewed Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) in my April 23, 2022 post at which time it had just released Q1 2022 results. Following the July 21 market close, ISRG released Q2 results. It continues to experience headwinds from: COVID-driven lockdowns in China, ISRG's 2nd largest market; supply chain disruptions with semiconductor component delays impacting the [...]
Portfolio Insight asked authors of leading investing websites to share the 10 best dividend stocks now. I recommend Blackstone Inc. (BX) and Brookfield Asset Management (BAM-a.TO and BAM). The remaining 8 companies are recommendations by other guest contributors. My reasons for liking these two asset managers are found in the following posts: Blackstone Should Richly [...]
Based on my analysis, Blackstone Inc. (BX) should richly reward long-term shareholders. Investors should consider the current share price weakness as a window of opportunity.

Financials Q2 2022 Results LMT's Q2 2022 [...]

Goldman Sachs' (GS) earnings have historically been volatile. Once David Solomon took over CEO responsibilities from Lloyd Blankfein in January 2019, however, the firm embarked on a strategy to generate more durable and sustainable fee-based revenues and to better manage capital efficiency. Significant progress has been made over the past couple of years and GS's [...]
Imperial Oil (IMO) Is Gushing Free Cash Flow After mid-June, we witnessed a pullback in the share price of integrated oil and gas companies.

I continually look to add to positions and last reviewed Nike (NKE) at which time I concluded shares were overvalued. After that post, global economic conditions significantly changed. This has led to a decline in the share price of many of my existing holdings; NKE is one such company. While I welcome a drop in [...]
