$Walt Disney(DIS)$   Shares of Disney climbed 7% to $110 by midday, hitting its highest intraday share price since early May as Wall Street responded favorably to better-than-expected quarterly earnings and guidance. The company said it expects a $875 million jump in operating profits for its direct-to-consumer entertainment division which includes its Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ streaming services for the 12-month period ending next September. That equates to $1.01 billion profit guidance for the unit, which brought in $143 million in Disney’s 2024 fiscal year, which in turn was a major improvement from years of massive losses, with the streaming division losing $8.2 billion from the 2021 to 2023 fiscal years.

This decision is not just about numbers—it involves balancing risk tolerance, personal goals, and market realities. So, is selling early better than missing out on future gains? Let’s explore this question in detail. The Case for Selling Early 1. Locking in Profits Selling early ensures that you secure a profit, avoiding the possibility of a market downturn that could erase your gains. Many seasoned investors follow the principle of “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,” preferring certainty over speculative future rewards. 2. Ri

A More Patient Fed: Balancing Fiscal Optimism and Healthcare Volatility

Summary and Key Catalysts After Wall Street's record-breaking highs on November 11, the excitement quickly faded. European markets were the first to react negatively, adjusting downward due to the looming threat of stricter US tariffs as Donald Trump prepared to take office. US indices soon followed, concerned that the Federal Reserve might slow down future rate cuts, leading to increased market volatility. Fed Chair Powell's Remarks Stall Optimism Markets were already trending downward when Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell addressed the Dallas Regional Chamber, signaling a more measured approach to monetary easing. Powell stated, "The economy is not sending any signals that we need to be in a hurry to lower rates." His comments dampened expectations for aggressive rate cuts, driving

Why do Trump-era tariffs pose a greater threat to China’s economy now?

China's Blue-Chip Stocks Offer Attractive Valuations: Buy Baba, JD, Tencent, Ping An, and BOC? China is already grappling with significant domestic challenges: a local debt crisis and a property market in turmoil. However, the looming impact of heightened tariffs presents an even graver concern. While many investors remain optimistic about Chinese stocks—betting on a "bazooka" stimulus from Beijing to revitalize the economy—it’s vital to consider the broader risks, particularly political ones. Stocks like Alibaba and JD have reported solid profits with low price-to-earnings ratios, and major Chinese banks such as Bank of China and Ping An Bank offer appealing dividends and seem fundamentally robust. However, this perspective often overlooks the risks posed by geopolitical tensions and
Why do Trump-era tariffs pose a greater threat to China’s economy now?
TOPneo26000: The tariffs on China are already at 25% on certain goods under Biden, so a 35% increase would significantly escalate tensions. While it could theoretically reduce Chinese imports to the U.S. by making them more expensive, the broader economic consequences would be severe. The depreciation of the yuan could lead to less Chinese demand for U.S. Treasuries, complicating U.S. debt management and increasing borrowing costs. The higher costs of Chinese goods would likely be passed on to American consumers, leading to inflationary pressures and potential supply chain disruptions.Such a confrontational approach is a lose-lose scenario—hurting businesses, and even government finances. A win-win strategy would focus on constructive dialogue and collaboration on issues like market access, and currency manipulation, while maintaining a fair and balanced trade policy. This would foster long-term stability, reduce tensions, and benefit both nations economically without self-inflicted damage.

Why MARA’s Recent Sell-Off May Signal a Buying Opportunity

I’ve been tracking $Marathon Digital Holdings Inc(MARA)$ closely, and despite the initial sell-off following its wider-than-expected third-quarter loss, I believe there’s a compelling case for a potential reversal. The stock’s post-election rally faced a strong pullback after the earnings report missed expectations, but a closer look at the candlestick patterns and the overall market context suggests we could be witnessing a bottoming process. Let’s start with the facts. MARA’s third-quarter earnings report showed revenue of $131.6 million, an increase from $97.8 million in the same period last year. However, it fell short of the $146.7 million consensus estimate. The company also posted a net loss of $124.8 million, significantly wider than the $

DPZ : Safe Bet in Market Dip & Biting Inflation.

On Thu, 14 Nov 2024 US market continued to head south amid US economic reports released over the past 2 days. Although looking superficial, the data nonetheless, has traders worried. By the time 4:00pm came around: (see above) DJIA: -0.47% (-207.33 to 43,750.86). S&P 500: -0.60% (-36.21 to 5,949.17). Nasdaq: -0.64% (-123.07 to 19,107.65). In fact, US market has been falling steadily since Mon, 11 Nov 2024. Looks like, the post presidential election ‘euphoria’ has dissipated, and US economic reality have taken over. It does not help too that incoming president trump, has been updating his lineup of staffers, making up the next administration, each a hardliner. This has sent chills down the spine of the US market, with many predicting the next 4 years, will be a painful one. Fortunately
