Reference the chart for when the Arora signal was given to hedge or take partial profits right close to the top before the big drop in the stock.\nMeta reported excellent earnings, better than the consensus and whisper numbers. Why is META stock down? The popular narrative is that the stock is down due to AI spending and Mark Zuckerberg’s comment that AI spending will not produce immediate profits.  With the exception of momo gurus who do not do objective analysis, non-momo analysts know that AI spending is not going to produce immediate profits.\nYesterday, we highlighted that Tesla Inc TSLA reported terrible numbers, but the stock jumped up on heavy AI spending on the prospect of future returns from AI spending. Please see yesterday’s Morning Capsule for details. For your convenience, click here for an enlarged chart of Tesla that was included in yesterday’s Morning Capsule. For the sake of full transparency, this chart has not been changed.\nHere is an important learning moment for investors. Why did TSLA stock jump 12% on bad numbers and heavy AI spending?  Why did META stock fall 15% on excellent numbers and heavy AI spending? The real answer is Wall Street’s positioning.\n\nGoing into TSLA earnings, Wall Street’s positioning was very negative. \nGoing into META earnings, Wall Street’s positioning was extremely positive.   \nPositioning often causes contrary moves. If you can fully grasp this one point of Wall Street mechanics, it will make a huge difference in the amount of money you extract out of the markets. Due to their high value, Wall Street professionals keep the secrets of Wall Street mechanics close to their chest.  \n\n\nHere are three notable earnings impacting the sentiment in the stock market:\r\n\t\nIBM Common Stock IBM stock had been running up on AI excitement. IBM reported earnings less than the whisper numbers. IBM stock has fallen about 10%. As a full disclosure, The Arora Report's ZYX Short took a short position in IBM and had a nice profit in a matter of minutes.  Partial profits have already been taken.\nConstruction machinery maker Caterpillar Inc. CAT reported earnings worse than whisper numbers.\nPharmaceutical company Merck & Co Inc MRK reported earnings better than whisper numbers.\n\n\nToday, there will be an auction of $44B of seven year Treasuries. We will be carefully watching the results.\nIn contrast to the prior two year auction, yesterday’s record auction of $70B of five year Treasuries was poor but not a canary in the coal mine. Here are the details:\r\n\t\nHigh yield: 4.659% (When-Issued: 4.655%)\nBid-to-cover: 2.39\nIndirect bid: 65.7%\nDirect bid: 19.2%\n\n\nInitial jobless claims came at 207K vs. 217K consensus.\nIn The Arora Report analysis, the just released Q1 GDP indicates stagflation may be coming. Here are the details:\r\n\t\nGDP-Adv came at 1.6% vs. 2.4% consensus.\nPrice index came at 3.1% vs. 3.0% consensus.\nCore price index came at 3.7% vs. 3.4% consensus.\n\n\nMagnificent Seven Money FlowsIn the early trade, money flows are negative in Apple Inc AAPL, Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN, Alphabet Inc Class C GOOG, META, Microsoft Corp MSFT, NVIDIA Corp NVDA, and TSLA.In the early trade, money flows are negative in SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 QQQ.Loading...Loading...Momo Crowd And Smart Money In StocksThe momo crowd is buying stocks in the early trade. Smart money is selling stocks in the early trade.GoldThe momo crowd is like a yoyo in gold in the early trade. Smart money is inactive in the early trade.For longer-term, please see gold and silver ratings.The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust GLD. The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust SLV. OilThe momo crowd is like a yoyo in oil in the early trade. Smart money is inactive in the early trade.For longer-term, please see oil ratings.The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF USO.BitcoinBitcoin BTC/USD is seeing selling.Protection Band And What To Do NowIt is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges. The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive. If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash. When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks. High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.Traditional 60/40 PortfolioProbability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of seven year duration or less. Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.
