Green Zone Ratings A Biotech Co.'s Journey from Small- to Mid-Cap — and Beyond Adam O'Dell, CMT, Chief Investment Strategist In May 2020, I recommended a biotech company to my Green Zone Fortunes subscribers. Its $1.3 billion market capitalization at the time placed it firmly in the “small-cap” camp of stocks. Though one year later, the stock has catapulted itself into “mid-cap” territory with a market cap of almost $4.5 billion. And I think it will be a “large-cap” behemoth ($10 billion-plus) within a few years. I’ll touch on that more in a bit. But first, let’s examine how my proprietary Green Zone Ratings system’s “size factor” played into this stock’s success over the last year. Click here to continue reading.

We have Deere in the agricultural and farm machinery industry with green tractors all over the Midwest. Then there’s Cisco and its data centers powering the opposite end of the spectrum with the communications equipment industry. But one is on the verge of leapfrogging the other and capitalizing on one of the biggest opportunities in a century — the space race.

This makes it an important leading economic indicator. Consumers make big purchases when they’re optimistic about the future. That’s especially true for financed purchases. Financing shows confidence in the ability to make payments. Pessimistic consumers delay purchases. Think of your household. If you’re worried about losing your job, you probably avoid new debt. This idea applies to the larger economy. Millions of households behave that way. The durable goods trend in the chart below is a great sign for the economy. Here’s why.
