Why I'm telling friends to avoid gold stocks (Ad)

Back in November, gold made a tiny move of 1.6%. But according to my backtesting by using a special type of gold trade, I would have seen a 141% gain in just a week. It happened again in March. Gold nudged up 1.2%. This time? A 104% overnight gain. And in June? A 1% gold move turned into a 74% gain in two weeks. Granted, there would have been smaller wins and those that did not work out, but you see, there's a reason I'm telling all my friends to hold off from buying gold or regular gold stocks right now. There's a more lucrative way to play the gold market as we enter a new breakout period. It's all about catching what I call "Acceleration Cycles."

And if you’d like to get your hands on this, here you go, the complete breakdown.

Sherwin-Williams
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in The Sherwin-Williams Company:

The Sherwin-Williams Company has received multiple analyst upgrades recently, with target prices raised by firms like Jefferies Financial Group and Morgan Stanley, indicating strong market confidence in the stock's potential for growth.
The company reported a return on equity of 74.45%, showcasing its ability to generate profit from shareholders' equity, which is a positive indicator of financial health and operational efficiency.
Despite missing earnings estimates, the company reported a revenue of $6.16 billion, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 0.7%, suggesting resilience in its business model even in challenging market conditions.
The current stock price of The Sherwin-Williams Company is around $370.00, which is below some analysts' target prices, potentially offering a buying opportunity for investors looking for growth.
The company has a relatively low dividend payout ratio of 28.49%, allowing for reinvestment in growth opportunities while still providing a dividend yield of 0.77%, which can attract income-focused investors.

Sherwin-Williams
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in The Sherwin-Williams Company for these reasons:

The company has a high debt-to-equity ratio of 1.97, indicating that it relies significantly on debt to finance its operations, which can pose risks during economic downturns or rising interest rates.
Recent earnings per share (EPS) of $3.37 fell short of analysts' expectations, which may raise concerns about the company's ability to meet future growth targets and investor expectations.
The current ratio of 0.83 and quick ratio of 0.51 suggest potential liquidity issues, meaning the company may struggle to cover its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets.
With a mixed rating from analysts, including one sell rating and several hold ratings, there may be uncertainty in the stock's performance, which could deter risk-averse investors.
The company operates in a competitive market, and any significant changes in raw material costs or supply chain disruptions could adversely affect profitability and stock performance.
