NIO's effort to build a lifestyle around its cars seems to be&nbsp;working. This is good news for investors because the only way to escape the competitive battlefield of automobile OEM is to sell services and lifestyles to customers. This is why Ferrari's (RACE) operating margin is well over 20%, while Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) are in the single digits.</p>\n<p><b>Financials &amp; Valuation</b></p>\n<p>NIO is in hyper-growth mode. In 2020, the company generated $2.5 billion in revenue, up 126% y/y. In 2021, the company is expected to grow 117% y/y to $5.4 billion.</p>\n<p>The company is not yet profitable but is expected to be by 2022. Gross margin only turned positive in 2020 and is expected to be 19.3% in 2021. EBITDA is expected to be negative $258 million in 2021 and a positive $206 million in 2022. Free cash flow is expected to be negative $42 million in 2021 before turning to a positive $354 million in 2022.</p>\n<p>However, despite the cash burn expected in 2021, investors should feel at ease since the company exited&nbsp;2020&nbsp;with $5.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents. Including $600 million in short-term investments and subtracting ~$2.1 billion in debt and operating leases and the expected negative free cash flow in 2021, NIO should exit 2021 with over $4 billion in net cash and investments. That is plenty of buffers since NIO is expected to generate positive free cash flow in 2022.</p>\n<p>Since NIO is not yet profitable, we will look at the forward EV/Sales multiple as is typical for hyper-growth companies not yet generating a profit. The company went public in September 2018, trading at around 7 to 8 times EV/Sales, before bottoming out at around 0.7 times sales in May 2019. The market, however, caught the EV fever in April 2020 and sent NIO's valuation soaring to a peak of 14.6x by January 2021. After the growth sell-off we recently experienced, NIO is currently sitting at a much more reasonable 8 times forward sales. This is a significant discount to TSLA's 10.2 times forward EV/Sales despite growing twice as fast (TSLA is expected to grow revenues by 57% in 2021 compared to NIO's 117%).</p>\n<p><b>Risks</b></p>\n<p>There are many risks associated with owning NIO.</p>\n<p>Although its battery swapping strategy is highly differentiated and seems to be growing rapidly, the jury is still out on the ultimate market share of battery swapping or fast-charging infrastructure. If fast charging technology continues to advance significantly, it will likely erode a key advantage of battery swapping: speed.</p>\n<p>NIO's business model is innovative and new. Unfortunately, the flip side of that is that it is untested, and NIO remains unprofitable. For many investors, NIO will remain a \"show me\" story until the profitability of its business model improves.</p>\n<p>NIO's ability to expand globally may be limited by the rising geopolitical tension between China and the US, and to a lesser extent, with Japan and Europe. The geopolitical situation remains highly opaque and uncertain, and is a risk factor for all auto OEMs.</p>\n<p>Auto OEMs are currently facing a severe chip&nbsp;shortage. In addition, the chip density in automobiles is increasing, making the OEMs increasingly reliant on semiconductor suppliers and foundries.</p>\n<p>NIO's competitive advantages may not overcome the massive scale advantage of ICE OEMs and much bigger EV players like Tesla and China's BYD.</p>\n<p><b>Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>NIO's technical and business model innovations make it a highly differentiated company in the exciting and rapidly growing EV market. The company is winning, and its competitive moat is getting bigger as its ecosystem of vehicles and services grows. Relative to the industry leader, Tesla, NIO's stock price seems like a bargain given its faster growth rate and lower multiples.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>NIO Is Winning</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nNIO Is Winning\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-18 09:31 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4435341-nio-is-winning><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nNIO is #1 in China's electric SUV market for good reason.\nThe company's success is driven by its brilliant innovations and marketing strategy.\nNIO is growing faster than Tesla, and yet, it is...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4435341-nio-is-winning\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NIO":"蔚来"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4435341-nio-is-winning","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1148576248","content_text":"Summary\n\nNIO is #1 in China's electric SUV market for good reason.\nThe company's success is driven by its brilliant innovations and marketing strategy.\nNIO is growing faster than Tesla, and yet, it is trading at a discount.\n\nPonyWang/E+ via Getty Images\nNIO Inc.

Relative to the industry leader, Tesla, NIO's stock price seems like a bargain given its faster growth rate and lower multiples.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":235,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169649031,"gmtCreate":1623834699623,"gmtModify":1703820869276,"author":{"id":"3578379695086113","authorId":"3578379695086113","name":"Prospersim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ed1a29580048152f8f7a90edcb6861b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578379695086113","authorIdStr":"3578379695086113"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/169649031","repostId":"1126302775","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1126302775","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623833061,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1126302775?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-16 16:44","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Chinese Clear Brace Maker More Than Doubles on Hong Kong Debut","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1126302775","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- Chinese maker of clear orthodontic braces Angelalign Technology Inc. surged 132% on i","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- Chinese maker of clear orthodontic braces Angelalign Technology Inc. surged 132% on its Hong Kong debut on Wednesday after an initial public offering that was one of this year’s most popular in the city.</p>\n<p>Angelalign shares ended their first day of trading at HK$401, compared with their offering price of HK$173, which was already at the top of a marketed range.

Some market participants believe it’s still too soon for the central bank to signal such a tapering action, while others think the Fed will be able to find a happy medium that won’t upset the markets.\nEach scenario has different investing implications as they are expected to make big moves across asset classes.\nHere’s a playbook for traders on every scenario from the central bank’s key meeting.\nIf the Fed signals it’s staying with easy policies\nThe Fed could reiterate its transitory stance on inflation, ignoring the pick-up in price pressures reflected in recent economic data. If the central bank says its not time to remove accommodative policies and it’s not concerned about inflation, investors should stick with hedges against rising prices like commodities and stocks with high pricing power, investment banks found.\nBank of America screened S&P 500 companies that its analysts believe have the most pricing power and ability to expand margins at times of rising prices. The stocks include a few chipmakers —Nvidia,Texas InstrumentsandBroadcom— as well as consumer plays likeHome Depot,NikeandPepsiCo.Energy dividend payerExxon Mobilis also on the list.\nUBS also developed a framework for scoring corporate pricing agility, which considers pricing power, margin momentum and input cost exposure. For pricing power, UBS quantified the extent to which a company can raise prices over and above costs. For margin momentum, UBS tracked corporate pricing trends using its proprietary pricing mapping.\nFor input cost exposure, UBS searched for companies with negative sentiment around commodity and transport costs on earnings calls.\n\nBillionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones said earlier this week that investors should “go all in on the inflation trades” if the Fed keeps ignoring higher prices.\n“If they treat these numbers — which were material events, they were very material —if they treat them with nonchalance, I think it’s just a green light to bet heavily on every inflation trade,” Tudor Jones said on “Squawk Box”on Monday.\n“If they say, ‘We’re on path, things are good,’ then I would just go all in on the inflation trades. I’d probably buy commodities, buy crypto, buy gold,” added Tudor Jones, who called the stock market crash in 1987.\nThe legendary investor believe cryptocurrencies and other commodities are favorable inflation hedges. Other than buying the commodities outright, investors could also bet on related exchange-traded funds, like gold miner ETFs.\nThe VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX),the biggest gold miner ETF with more than $14 billion in assets under management, has outperformed the populargold ETF GLDso far this year.\nIf the Fed signals it’s time to start removing easy policies\nAnother widely speculated scenario is for the Fed to signal that it’s nearing the time to dial back easy policy saying it will start tapering soon and move up its forecast for a rate increase. Under such a case where the central bank isn’t sufficiently dovish, many expect bond yields to shoot higher.\n“It could easily move longer yields higher,” said Kristina Hooper, Invesco’s chief global market strategist. “A revised dot plot could be one way to do that if it shows the anticipation of earlier or more aggressive rate hikes. And Fed Chair Jay Powell could easily push rates up if he shares that the Fed has started discussing tapering or suggests tapering could start in the next several months.”\nTudor Jones warned that this scenario could lead to another taper tantrum that could cause a correction in stocks.\n“If they course correct, if they say, ‘We’ve got incoming data, we’ve accomplished our mission or we’re on the way very rapidly to accomplishing our mission on employment,’ then you’re going to get a taper tantrum,”Tudor Jones said on Monday. “You’re going to get a sell-off in fixed income. You’re going to get a correction in stocks.”\nCNBC Pro combed through the returns of all S&P 500 stocks during the last five significant spikes in the 10-year Treasury yield. These five periods of a sharp move in rates occurred between 2003 and 2006, 2008 and 2009, 2012 and 2013, 2016 and 2018, and 2020 through now.\nAfter we found the stocks that beat the market every time, we looked for the names that are well-loved by analysts on Wall Street today. The stocks’ average gains during those rising interest rate periods are listed below, along with the percentage of analysts with buy ratings right now.\n\nBank of America’s head of U.S. equity and quantitative strategy Savita Subramanian is advising clients to buy high-quality stocks when tapering nears. High-quality stocks have a “B+” or better S&P quality rating.\nSubramanian said during the 2013 taper tantrum, high-quality names outperformed their low-quality counterparts by 1.3 percentage points from peak to trough in May and June.\nA hint at removing stimulus could also hurt stocks that are most sensitive to the economic recovery, including cyclicals like financials, energy and materials.\n“More hawkish = lower growth. Cyclicals should underperform,” Dennis DeBusschere, macro research analyst at Evercore ISI, said in a note. “The fact that hawkish concerns are being brought up at the same time people believe the reflation trade is in trouble and you have a poor Cyclical backdrop.”\nSo far in 2021, the energy sector has been the biggest winner among the 11 S&P 500 groupings, up 46%. Financials and real estate both gained more than 20% this year.\nIf the Fed makes both camps happy\nA third scenario could occur in which the Fed signals that it is concerned about inflation, but the central bank is not yet ready to taper.\nIf Fed chair Jerome Powell admits the discussion of tapering but nothing has been decided, then the market will likely see a modest rally, led by tech stocks, according to Tom Essaye, founder of the Sevens Report.\n“This is essentially the outcome that Powell and the Fed have been telegraphing for the past several weeks,” Essaye said. “This would be a continuation of the past two weeks’ Goldilocks market outlook. This outcome would help the S&P 500 extend last week’s breakout.”\nInvestors have been rotating back to tech as of late with bond yields coming down. The tech-heavyNasdaq Compositehas rallied about 2.5% this month, hitting a record close on Monday, its first all-time high since April 26. In comparison, the S&P 500 has risen just under 1% in June.\n“This is what the Fed has been doing for the last several months — warning that an inflation surge was coming but that it is transitory so no need to taper,” Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at the Leuthold Group, told CNBC. “Moreover, this is probably the most expected outcome from the Fed meeting.”\n“Yes, there may be comments by members that the time to start talking about tapering is here, but I think Powell will continue to suggest that inflation is up as expected but is not yet acting any differently than anticipated,” added Paulsen.\nThis year’s pullback in tech stocks has opened some opportunities in high-quality names that are now trading at a discount, according to top-rated technology analyst Toni Sacconaghi of Bernstein.\nThe Wall Street firm found several technology stocks that have inexpensive valuations and are high in quality.

Similarly, Diess has won over investors by making the case that VW can exploit something Tesla doesn’t have much of yet: scale. With a dozen brands that fill every nook and cranny of the auto market—and sales last year of 9.3 million vehicles, compared with a half-million for Tesla—VW is uniquely positioned to pool resources and bear the cost of developing new technologies. By next year, VW will have 27 models based on its standardized platform. “Our transformation will be fast,” Diess said at his event, “bigger than anything the industry has seen in the past century.”</p>\n<p>Like Musk, Diess is going big on batteries and charging stations. By 2025, VW and its partners will have more than 35,000&nbsp;public chargers around the world.

VW in 2017 set up an affiliate called Electrify America that now boasts the largest fast-charging network in the U.S. Diess is also planning a&nbsp;half-dozen battery factories&nbsp;in Europe, which Bloomberg&nbsp;NEF estimates will require an investment of almost $18 billion. The energy researcher says improvements in cell design, battery chemistry, and manufacturing put VW on track to cut the cost of batteries in half by as early as 2025.

And&nbsp;BMW AG&nbsp;has embraced flexibility, building many of its models in various versions: gasoline-powered, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric. “We think a one-propulsion strategy could be very dangerous,” CEO Oliver Zipse told&nbsp;Bloomberg Television&nbsp;on March 17. “The likelihood that 150, 160 markets in a very short period of time—and one decade is a very short period of time—will converge fully into one drivetrain is highly unlikely.”</p>\n<p>Diess has no plans to hit the brakes. Even as the first models from the current platform start to roll out, VW is furiously developing a separate set of standard components for electric vehicles from Audi, Porsche, and its other upscale brands.

By the middle of the decade, VW says it will have a single scalable system to underpin all its battery-powered cars—no matter the brand or segment—as it aims to sell 26 million of them in the next 10 years. “They’ve got confidence that they can catch up with Tesla,” says Michael Dean, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, who expects VW to take the global EV crown by 2023. “Their foray into electrification is serious.”</p>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>The End of Tesla’s Dominance May Be Closer Than It Appears</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nThe End of Tesla’s Dominance May Be Closer Than It Appears\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-24 17:50 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=http://bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-24/tesla-tsla-and-elon-musk-s-dominance-is-threatened-by-volkswagen><strong>Bloomberg</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Elon Musk’s upstart still rules, but traditional automakers are catching up fast.\nHe doesn’t date a synth-pop star, publicly puff on blunts, or profess to want to die on Mars, but Herbert Diess is ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"http://bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-24/tesla-tsla-and-elon-musk-s-dominance-is-threatened-by-volkswagen\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"http://bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-24/tesla-tsla-and-elon-musk-s-dominance-is-threatened-by-volkswagen","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1178385748","content_text":"Elon Musk’s upstart still rules, but traditional automakers are catching up fast.\nHe doesn’t date a synth-pop star, publicly puff on blunts, or profess to want to die on Mars, but Herbert Diess is starting to look and sound an awful lot like Elon Musk.\nThe chief executive officer of Volkswagen AG kicked off a March 15 news conference modeled after Tesla Inc.’s “Battery Day”—Diess called his “Power Day”—by declaring that there’s only one way to quickly reduce emissions from transportation: Go electric.

What can investors expect from Wednesday's Fed meeting?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>We’re at a point where the market is moving way ahead of the Federal Reserve.</b>The Fed is on «outcome-based guidance», but the beast, that serpent in the market, wants more than that. Basically, the market is saying: «The US economy is going to grow 6 or 7% this year, and that will force you to taper in Q3 or Q4.» As investors are pricing in a tapering of the Fed’s asset purchases, financial conditions are tightening; especially in emerging markets, where spreads on credit default swaps are rising. So far, financial conditions are nowhere near extremely dangerous levels. But the problem is everybody thinks we’re in a similar situation as back in 2018.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>What do you mean by that?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n Once again, the Fed is playing «Tough Guy»: The market demands a policy pivot, but the Fed is trying to hold on to its path, essentially signaling to investors: «No way, relax». We had a similar set-up in 2013, 2016 and 2018. These were the three most significant monetary policy shifts where market pressures broke the Fed's desired policy path.\n <b>The problem is that back then the Fed had far more rope to play Tough Guy since the economy was stronger. In 2018 for instance</b>, the US economy was creating hundreds of thousands of jobs a month. In contrast, today’s employment-to-population ratio is 3.5 percentage points below January 2020 levels. This means 13 million Americans are outside the labor force. To get back to pre-pandemic levels, the economy has to create more than 540,000 jobs a month for two years.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>So what does this mean for this week's Fed meeting?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>The Fed is planet earth’s central bank. Every time they tried to play Tough Guy, they’ve blown up the global economy.</b>This time, the Fed's Tough Guy window is much smaller. In 2018 or 2013 that window was nine to ten months. Now, it’s like two months because the economy is so weak. If they let financial conditions tighten further, they risk a major default cycle.\n <b>The negative multiplier effect of a stronger dollar is much higher to the world economy than the Fed anticipates</b>. They can't afford to let the dollar rip higher, because there is so much dollar denominated debt in the world, so much trade tied to the Greenback. If they blow that up, it will just blow back to the US and force the Fed into a policy shift anyway. It’s like with an oil change at the car repair shop: You can pay now or you can pay later. That’s why the Fed has to pay now.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Why?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>The Fed’s back is against the wall, all points to proactive action on March 17.</b>They must suppress taper fears and cut these risks off, or else they blow up the global economy for the 4th time since 2013. We’re hearing that they’re already getting incoming calls from emerging market central banks right now. If Fed Chairman Jay Powell plays Tough Guy by staying with the current path, without offering further assurances of deeper, more sustainable accommodation, the beast inside the market will keep pushing him until he breaks. We will see a repeat of Q4 2018 and Q1 2019, where the Fed was forced into an utterly embarrassing pivot. One of those is enough for Powell’s legacy, he doesn’t want two.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>What kind of measures can be expected?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>Eventually, we will get the taper, but the overwhelming point is other weapons have to come first.</b>A Federal Reserve offering insufficient accommodation places markets in the crosshairs of a risk-off event. The first thing they will try to do is give some hard data points. For example, the US economy has to create 10 million jobs for the Fed to do anything on the balance sheet. Another way they can get out is calendar guidance, but that’s a more sophisticated weaponry. Bottom line, they should just say: «From now until the end of the year QE will continue at $120 billion a month, and we want PCE-inflation to get to between 2 and 2.5% and stay there for 24 months.» With that in place,\n <b>all they have to do is open the door two or three inches for yield curve control, and they can contain the dollar.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>The last time the Federal Reserve used yield curve control was during the time of World War II. Why would it resort to such a radical measure?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>Here’s the dirty little secret: Too many Treasury bonds are for sale.</b>There aren’t enough buyers, and that will force the Fed to step in. More than $3.6 trillion of US government paper was issued in 2020 versus $2.9 trillion in the prior year. With the new $1.9 trillion fiscal package coming from Washington, issuance in 2021 is slated to rise to $4 trillion. That’s a lot more than the Fed’s Treasury purchases through QE, so the spread between QE and debt issuance gets much wider. Washington is doing so much fiscal stimulus, I’m confident that this is going to force the Fed into yield curve control by September. If that’s the case, it will pressure the dollar lower and put commodities, value stocks, global cyclicals, materials and emerging markets into rotation overdrive.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>How come?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>Yield curve control deployment is the tactical nuclear weaponry.</b>If the Fed throws out yield curve control just as a threat, it will suppress Treasury rates and real yields will go much more negative. Over the last couple of months, the issuance has overpowered inflation expectations. Think of it as a car race: Treasury issuances were driving up yields faster than inflation expectations rose. But if the Fed starts to acknowledge that they are going to bring out new weapons like calendar guidance and yield curve control, then they’re suppressing nominal yields. So if inflation expectations continue to rise, then real yields go big negative – and that’s when gold and silver will take off. I think silver can double from here until early next year. Gold could be up 50%.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>How can investors best position themselves in this environment?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n In terms of emerging markets, we’re\n <b>long Chile and Brazil.</b>In Asia, South Korea looks attractive. We also like the KWEB ETF which consists of the big Chinese tech stocks. In the commodity space, we have a position in the XME ETF which owns mainly\n <b>copper and steel names.</b>One of the best companies we own is Teck Resources. This stock is almost like a commodity mutual fund, because the company has exposure to copper, nickel and even energy. Another favorite is Mosaic because in a commodity cycle where you have weather problems around the world,\n <b>agricultural plays are a good bet.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>What about precious metals?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>When it comes to precious metals, we love silver miners</b>like Hecla Mining. When the Fed eases its policy, the silver miners will outperform the underlying metal, and they will outperform gold because there is more leverage there.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>The gold price is down more than 15% since its all-time high in August. What’s the problem?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>Everyone thinks it’s 2013, so taper fears are sky high for gold. But the Fed cannot repeat its mistakes.</b>They must cap yields if they want to preserve the global economic recovery. Thus, the convexity with gold is very attractive. Every leg lower in real yields will act like a slingshot higher for gold. That’s why we love Newmont. The stock trades at 6x EBITDA with a 4% dividend yield which gives you some downside protection. And remember: The 2011-2016 commodity bust has made the balance sheet of these high quality gold mining companies a lot stronger.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>President Joe Biden has just signed off on a $1.9 trillion economic program. What are the chances of a second stimulus bill, aimed at infrastructure?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n It’s important to note that\n <b>a second fiscal deal for 2021 is not a slam dunk.</b>To pass the present $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, the Democrats used reconciliation. It’s a very special trick in US politics, because with reconciliation you don’t need 60 votes to pass a bill in the Senate. All you need is 50 votes. Yet, reconciliation has to be tied to a budget year. This means the next time the Democrats can use it is probably in the fourth quarter, late November or December, and tie it to the following year's budget. So the only way to do an infrastructure bill in the next six months is with a traditional piece of legislation.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Is that even possible, given how wide the rift between Republicans and Democrats has opened in recent years?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n For that you need essentially ten Republicans. Right now, the centrists on the Hill, people like Mitt Romney on the Republican side or Joe Manchin on the Democrat side, are the most powerful people in Washington. They want to do an infrastructure program, but they want to finance it with tax revenue. They don’t believe in things like Modern Monetary Theory where the Fed is financing the deficit.\n <b>So you are going to need a tax hike. And in this regard, we’re hearing they could go after some type of flat tax on the FAANGs, the big technology companies.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>What does this mean for Apple, Google, Facebook and other tech heavyweights?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n Keep in mind, we’re in a populist revolution:\n <b>The risk of inequality leading to social unrest is high, and that puts pressure on politicians to pass bills to tax the rich.</b>But a wealth tax is extremely complicated, it would take years. The simplest way to do something in terms of taxes is to tax larger companies. In the eighties, the top 100 companies in the US maintained about 45 to 50% of total profits. Today, the largest 20 companies command about 85 to 90%. In addition to that, close to 40% of the S&amp;P 500’s market cap is related to tech. So tech is the low hanging fruit for the populists in Congress to go after.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>One more reason why tech stocks remain under pressure?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n We run a bunch of models. For example, we look at Berkshire Hathaway’s share price versus the Nasdaq 100 or the Dow Jones Industrial versus the Nasdaq. March 8th was the second time in 2021 that the Nasdaq closed down 2% with the Dow closing higher.\n <b>We haven’t seen this type of data since the dotcom crash. It’s a very rare event which historically coincides with a longer-term rotation out of technology stocks. That’s a very encouraging signal for value stocks.</b>In this regard, we like the EWU ETF. It’s a wonderful basket of stocks because it’s full of financials and world class names like BP, Rio Tinto or Glencore. Officially, it’s called the United Kingdom ETF, but it’s more like a global value ETF.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Does this mean that the rotation towards cyclical stocks has only just begun?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>Many investors around the world are long a portfolio of stocks that was designed for the deflationary environment of the previous decade.</b>The decade ahead of us - with all what’s ahead in terms of fiscal and monetary stimulus, populism, regulation and taxes - will push investors toward more globally value related stocks. That’s where the best returns are going to be.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>So the previously successful «buy the dip» strategy of simply buying more tech stocks after every decline no longer works?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>The potency of dip-buying is in decay mode.</b>Global value is really starting to kick tech in the teeth, and when that happens, it wakes up what's called «real money». Keep in mind: There is fast money, mostly hedge funds which are nimble and make quick moves. In contrast, real money moves slowly. Those types of investors don’t make asset allocation decisions quickly. They base their decisions on committees and all kinds of meetings. As a result, tectonic plates are shifting beneath our feet. We’ve seen tremors after tremors where value is starting to crush growth, and now the earthquake is coming. At Bear Traps, we have a Bloomberg chat with 650 institutional investors, and I can tell just by these conversations, that the real money is starting to move.\n <b>And when the real money moves, that’s when the big quake happens.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>What kind of dislocations will this cause?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>Tech will probably be down 30 to 40% sometime between now and the end of October.</b>Today, the market cap of the Nasdaq 100 is close to $12 trillion, but most large-cap tech stocks are unchanged since July last year, while commodity and value-related equities are up 20 to 50%. In the US, if you talk to a hundred high-net-worth families, every one of those families owns Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon. But look what’s happening: Amazon’s stock is flat since the 4th of July 2020. That's $1.5 trillion of dead money. Last Friday, Amazon failed at the 200-day moving average again.\n <b>This is like Mike Tyson getting defeated by Buster Douglas, one of the greatest upsets in sports history. This psychology is moving through the market, pushing the capital migration process into value and commodity plays.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>However, investments in commodities are mostly not compliant with the trend towards ESG standards; especially when it comes to CO2 emissions.</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>The best ESG trade on the board is nuclear power. The largest uranium company in the US is Cameco with a $7 market cap.</b>Think about that relative to Elon Musk’s net worth! I support the Green New Deal, but this needs time, because solar and wind are still too far away to produce the amount of energy needed around the world, especially in India and China. The only way to meet that demand is through nuclear power. Uranium is coming out of a ten-year bear market, and it’s going into a massive new bull market. All the contracts between power plants and uranium producers are going to be adjusted. That’s why we like the URA ETF which owns companies like Cameco. I see some of these companies as six baggers: 500% upside potential and 30 to 40% downside risk, because uranium is still a risky commodity.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>In our&nbsp;last conversation, you recommended investments in the energy sector. Since then, names such as Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell or Exxon Mobil have advanced 25 to 60%. What do you advise investors to do now?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>For now, we’ve cut our energy book:</b>We’ve sold half of our shares in Chevron, and we’ve sold two thirds of our positions in Exxon Mobil and in the XLE ETF. What happens when you get into the fourth, fifth and sixth innings of a commodity cycle, tertiary sectors like metallurgical coal become more attractive. Sure, met coal, also known as coking coal, is not ESG friendly, but there is no way around it for steel production and hence the construction of skyscrapers, bridges and things like that. So coming into this infrastructure boom all around the world, coal has plenty of upside. That’s why we own names like Arch Resources and Peabody Energy. They’re low-leveraged, and really cheap, once again, on a risk/reward basis.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>What are the biggest dangers to watch out for in the coming weeks and months?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>One spot to watch are all these forbearance deals in commercial real estate.</b>When we come out of Covid and the vaccines and the stimulus money are juicing through the economy, the market will be forcing the release of the forbearance on a lot of these loans. So if people don’t come back fast enough to the cities, these commercial real estate loans are going to get reset. This would mean some big defaults, and the banks own a lot of these loans. Also, a lot of leveraged loans are really rich. And then, there is potentially a fiscal cliff:\n <b>The sustainability of the $1.9 trillion stimulus package isn’t that great because a lot of it is just transfer payments replacing lost income for people staying at home. That’s why the US needs a second stimulus bill. If we don’t get a second bill, we are going to have a problem in about a year from now.</b>\n</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Larry McDonald Warns \"The Big [Market] Quake Is Coming\"</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nLarry McDonald Warns \"The Big [Market] Quake Is Coming\"\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-16 20:50 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/larry-mcdonald-warns-big-market-quake-coming><strong>zerohedge</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The mood is testy.

That’s why the Fed has to pay now.\n\nWhy?\n\nThe Fed’s back is against the wall, all points to proactive action on March 17.They must suppress taper fears and cut these risks off, or else they blow up the global economy for the 4th time since 2013. We’re hearing that they’re already getting incoming calls from emerging market central banks right now. If Fed Chairman Jay Powell plays Tough Guy by staying with the current path, without offering further assurances of deeper, more sustainable accommodation, the beast inside the market will keep pushing him until he breaks. We will see a repeat of Q4 2018 and Q1 2019, where the Fed was forced into an utterly embarrassing pivot. One of those is enough for Powell’s legacy, he doesn’t want two.\n\nWhat kind of measures can be expected?\n\nEventually, we will get the taper, but the overwhelming point is other weapons have to come first.A Federal Reserve offering insufficient accommodation places markets in the crosshairs of a risk-off event. The first thing they will try to do is give some hard data points. For example, the US economy has to create 10 million jobs for the Fed to do anything on the balance sheet. Another way they can get out is calendar guidance, but that’s a more sophisticated weaponry. Bottom line, they should just say: «From now until the end of the year QE will continue at $120 billion a month, and we want PCE-inflation to get to between 2 and 2.5% and stay there for 24 months.» With that in place,\n all they have to do is open the door two or three inches for yield curve control, and they can contain the dollar.\n\nThe last time the Federal Reserve used yield curve control was during the time of World War II. Why would it resort to such a radical measure?\n\nHere’s the dirty little secret: Too many Treasury bonds are for sale.There aren’t enough buyers, and that will force the Fed to step in. More than $3.6 trillion of US government paper was issued in 2020 versus $2.9 trillion in the prior year. With the new $1.9 trillion fiscal package coming from Washington, issuance in 2021 is slated to rise to $4 trillion. That’s a lot more than the Fed’s Treasury purchases through QE, so the spread between QE and debt issuance gets much wider. Washington is doing so much fiscal stimulus, I’m confident that this is going to force the Fed into yield curve control by September. If that’s the case, it will pressure the dollar lower and put commodities, value stocks, global cyclicals, materials and emerging markets into rotation overdrive.\n\nHow come?\n\nYield curve control deployment is the tactical nuclear weaponry.If the Fed throws out yield curve control just as a threat, it will suppress Treasury rates and real yields will go much more negative. Over the last couple of months, the issuance has overpowered inflation expectations. Think of it as a car race: Treasury issuances were driving up yields faster than inflation expectations rose. But if the Fed starts to acknowledge that they are going to bring out new weapons like calendar guidance and yield curve control, then they’re suppressing nominal yields. So if inflation expectations continue to rise, then real yields go big negative – and that’s when gold and silver will take off. I think silver can double from here until early next year. Gold could be up 50%.\n\nHow can investors best position themselves in this environment?\n\n In terms of emerging markets, we’re\n long Chile and Brazil.In Asia, South Korea looks attractive. We also like the KWEB ETF which consists of the big Chinese tech stocks. In the commodity space, we have a position in the XME ETF which owns mainly\n copper and steel names.One of the best companies we own is Teck Resources. This stock is almost like a commodity mutual fund, because the company has exposure to copper, nickel and even energy. Another favorite is Mosaic because in a commodity cycle where you have weather problems around the world,\n agricultural plays are a good bet.\n\nWhat about precious metals?\n\nWhen it comes to precious metals, we love silver minerslike Hecla Mining. When the Fed eases its policy, the silver miners will outperform the underlying metal, and they will outperform gold because there is more leverage there.\n\nThe gold price is down more than 15% since its all-time high in August. What’s the problem?\n\nEveryone thinks it’s 2013, so taper fears are sky high for gold. But the Fed cannot repeat its mistakes.They must cap yields if they want to preserve the global economic recovery. Thus, the convexity with gold is very attractive. Every leg lower in real yields will act like a slingshot higher for gold. That’s why we love Newmont. The stock trades at 6x EBITDA with a 4% dividend yield which gives you some downside protection. And remember: The 2011-2016 commodity bust has made the balance sheet of these high quality gold mining companies a lot stronger.\n\nPresident Joe Biden has just signed off on a $1.9 trillion economic program. What are the chances of a second stimulus bill, aimed at infrastructure?\n\n It’s important to note that\n a second fiscal deal for 2021 is not a slam dunk.To pass the present $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, the Democrats used reconciliation. It’s a very special trick in US politics, because with reconciliation you don’t need 60 votes to pass a bill in the Senate. All you need is 50 votes. Yet, reconciliation has to be tied to a budget year. This means the next time the Democrats can use it is probably in the fourth quarter, late November or December, and tie it to the following year's budget. So the only way to do an infrastructure bill in the next six months is with a traditional piece of legislation.\n\nIs that even possible, given how wide the rift between Republicans and Democrats has opened in recent years?\n\n For that you need essentially ten Republicans. Right now, the centrists on the Hill, people like Mitt Romney on the Republican side or Joe Manchin on the Democrat side, are the most powerful people in Washington. They want to do an infrastructure program, but they want to finance it with tax revenue. They don’t believe in things like Modern Monetary Theory where the Fed is financing the deficit.\n So you are going to need a tax hike. And in this regard, we’re hearing they could go after some type of flat tax on the FAANGs, the big technology companies.\n\nWhat does this mean for Apple, Google, Facebook and other tech heavyweights?\n\n Keep in mind, we’re in a populist revolution:\n The risk of inequality leading to social unrest is high, and that puts pressure on politicians to pass bills to tax the rich.But a wealth tax is extremely complicated, it would take years. The simplest way to do something in terms of taxes is to tax larger companies. In the eighties, the top 100 companies in the US maintained about 45 to 50% of total profits. Today, the largest 20 companies command about 85 to 90%. In addition to that, close to 40% of the S&P 500’s market cap is related to tech. So tech is the low hanging fruit for the populists in Congress to go after.\n\nOne more reason why tech stocks remain under pressure?\n\n We run a bunch of models. For example, we look at Berkshire Hathaway’s share price versus the Nasdaq 100 or the Dow Jones Industrial versus the Nasdaq. March 8th was the second time in 2021 that the Nasdaq closed down 2% with the Dow closing higher.\n We haven’t seen this type of data since the dotcom crash. It’s a very rare event which historically coincides with a longer-term rotation out of technology stocks. That’s a very encouraging signal for value stocks.In this regard, we like the EWU ETF. It’s a wonderful basket of stocks because it’s full of financials and world class names like BP, Rio Tinto or Glencore. Officially, it’s called the United Kingdom ETF, but it’s more like a global value ETF.\n\nDoes this mean that the rotation towards cyclical stocks has only just begun?\n\nMany investors around the world are long a portfolio of stocks that was designed for the deflationary environment of the previous decade.The decade ahead of us - with all what’s ahead in terms of fiscal and monetary stimulus, populism, regulation and taxes - will push investors toward more globally value related stocks. That’s where the best returns are going to be.\n\nSo the previously successful «buy the dip» strategy of simply buying more tech stocks after every decline no longer works?\n\nThe potency of dip-buying is in decay mode.Global value is really starting to kick tech in the teeth, and when that happens, it wakes up what's called «real money». Keep in mind: There is fast money, mostly hedge funds which are nimble and make quick moves. In contrast, real money moves slowly. Those types of investors don’t make asset allocation decisions quickly. They base their decisions on committees and all kinds of meetings. As a result, tectonic plates are shifting beneath our feet. We’ve seen tremors after tremors where value is starting to crush growth, and now the earthquake is coming. At Bear Traps, we have a Bloomberg chat with 650 institutional investors, and I can tell just by these conversations, that the real money is starting to move.\n And when the real money moves, that’s when the big quake happens.\n\nWhat kind of dislocations will this cause?\n\nTech will probably be down 30 to 40% sometime between now and the end of October.Today, the market cap of the Nasdaq 100 is close to $12 trillion, but most large-cap tech stocks are unchanged since July last year, while commodity and value-related equities are up 20 to 50%. In the US, if you talk to a hundred high-net-worth families, every one of those families owns Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon. But look what’s happening: Amazon’s stock is flat since the 4th of July 2020. That's $1.5 trillion of dead money. Last Friday, Amazon failed at the 200-day moving average again.\n This is like Mike Tyson getting defeated by Buster Douglas, one of the greatest upsets in sports history. This psychology is moving through the market, pushing the capital migration process into value and commodity plays.\n\nHowever, investments in commodities are mostly not compliant with the trend towards ESG standards; especially when it comes to CO2 emissions.\n\nThe best ESG trade on the board is nuclear power. The largest uranium company in the US is Cameco with a $7 market cap.Think about that relative to Elon Musk’s net worth! I support the Green New Deal, but this needs time, because solar and wind are still too far away to produce the amount of energy needed around the world, especially in India and China. The only way to meet that demand is through nuclear power. Uranium is coming out of a ten-year bear market, and it’s going into a massive new bull market. All the contracts between power plants and uranium producers are going to be adjusted. That’s why we like the URA ETF which owns companies like Cameco. I see some of these companies as six baggers: 500% upside potential and 30 to 40% downside risk, because uranium is still a risky commodity.\n\nIn our last conversation, you recommended investments in the energy sector. Since then, names such as Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell or Exxon Mobil have advanced 25 to 60%. What do you advise investors to do now?\n\nFor now, we’ve cut our energy book:We’ve sold half of our shares in Chevron, and we’ve sold two thirds of our positions in Exxon Mobil and in the XLE ETF. What happens when you get into the fourth, fifth and sixth innings of a commodity cycle, tertiary sectors like metallurgical coal become more attractive. Sure, met coal, also known as coking coal, is not ESG friendly, but there is no way around it for steel production and hence the construction of skyscrapers, bridges and things like that. So coming into this infrastructure boom all around the world, coal has plenty of upside. That’s why we own names like Arch Resources and Peabody Energy. They’re low-leveraged, and really cheap, once again, on a risk/reward basis.\n\nWhat are the biggest dangers to watch out for in the coming weeks and months?\n\nOne spot to watch are all these forbearance deals in commercial real estate.When we come out of Covid and the vaccines and the stimulus money are juicing through the economy, the market will be forcing the release of the forbearance on a lot of these loans. So if people don’t come back fast enough to the cities, these commercial real estate loans are going to get reset. This would mean some big defaults, and the banks own a lot of these loans. Also, a lot of leveraged loans are really rich. And then, there is potentially a fiscal cliff:\n The sustainability of the $1.9 trillion stimulus package isn’t that great because a lot of it is just transfer payments replacing lost income for people staying at home. That’s why the US needs a second stimulus bill. If we don’t get a second bill, we are going to have a problem in about a year from now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":232,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":166246367,"gmtCreate":1624014430459,"gmtModify":1703826570316,"author":{"id":"3578379695086113","authorId":"3578379695086113","name":"Prospersim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ed1a29580048152f8f7a90edcb6861b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578379695086113","authorIdStr":"3578379695086113"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice!","listText":"Nice!","text":"Nice!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/166246367","repostId":"1148576248","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1148576248","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623979883,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1148576248?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 09:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"NIO Is Winning","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1148576248","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"NIO is #1 in China's electric SUV market for good reason.The company's success is driven by its brilliant innovations and marketing strategy.NIO is growing faster than Tesla, and yet, it is trading at a discount.NIO Inc.  stands out for its strong market position- #1 market share in electric SUV in China- and innovation in the rapidly growing and highly competitive electric vehicle industry.

Since cost is another major barrier to mass EV adoption, NIO's battery strategy appears brilliant as it solves both the range and cost problems.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b25fbb85bffd39310cd27cbb2bde57a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"216\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Company</span></p>\n<p>Another differentiator is the NIO brand, which management created brilliantly by introducing the EP9 in 2016. Six EP9s have been sold to NIO investors for 2.5 million pounds, creating an aura of exclusivity and quality around the brand. Next, NIO targeted the mass-market luxury SUV segment with the ES8, firmly establishing the company as a luxury car OEM.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ad41c960ce02f1e3f3e7575ac00beee0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"350\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Company</span></p>\n<p>Chinese companies must struggle against the common perception that they make low-quality products. This is the same perception issue that Japanese companies faced following their defeat after WW2. Japan solved this problem by moving up the value chain as their economy matured and creating high-quality brands such as Sony(NYSE:SONY). Today, Japan is known for its craftsmanship.</p>\n<p>China is following the same trajectory, and NIO is one of the emerging brands destroying the perception that \"made in China\" equates to poor quality. I strongly believe that investors who stubbornly hold on to that old perception will miss out on investing in some of the greatest brands the world will ever see.</p>\n<p>Buying an NIO car means much more than just getting a vehicle; it means getting into an exclusive club of services and convenience. Benefits include access to hundreds of swapping stations, lifetime free roadside rescue (including charge vans), lifetime free cellular connectivity, lifetime free warranty, and excellent customer service. This is a powerful selling point for NIO, differentiating it from Tesla, which hasrecentlydeveloped a poor reputation on the customer service front in China.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a73482aa0431694b760ab5c2d0aa6f53\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"211\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Company</span></p>\n<p>The company is pushing the envelope even further with&nbsp;NIO House, a literal clubhouse for customers, and&nbsp;NIO Life, which includes NIO branded lifestyle products. NIO's effort to build a lifestyle around its cars seems to be&nbsp;working. This is good news for investors because the only way to escape the competitive battlefield of automobile OEM is to sell services and lifestyles to customers. This is why Ferrari's (RACE) operating margin is well over 20%, while Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) are in the single digits.</p>\n<p><b>Financials &amp; Valuation</b></p>\n<p>NIO is in hyper-growth mode. In 2020, the company generated $2.5 billion in revenue, up 126% y/y. In 2021, the company is expected to grow 117% y/y to $5.4 billion.</p>\n<p>The company is not yet profitable but is expected to be by 2022. Gross margin only turned positive in 2020 and is expected to be 19.3% in 2021. EBITDA is expected to be negative $258 million in 2021 and a positive $206 million in 2022. Free cash flow is expected to be negative $42 million in 2021 before turning to a positive $354 million in 2022.</p>\n<p>However, despite the cash burn expected in 2021, investors should feel at ease since the company exited&nbsp;2020&nbsp;with $5.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents. Including $600 million in short-term investments and subtracting ~$2.1 billion in debt and operating leases and the expected negative free cash flow in 2021, NIO should exit 2021 with over $4 billion in net cash and investments. That is plenty of buffers since NIO is expected to generate positive free cash flow in 2022.</p>\n<p>Since NIO is not yet profitable, we will look at the forward EV/Sales multiple as is typical for hyper-growth companies not yet generating a profit. The company went public in September 2018, trading at around 7 to 8 times EV/Sales, before bottoming out at around 0.7 times sales in May 2019. The market, however, caught the EV fever in April 2020 and sent NIO's valuation soaring to a peak of 14.6x by January 2021. After the growth sell-off we recently experienced, NIO is currently sitting at a much more reasonable 8 times forward sales. This is a significant discount to TSLA's 10.2 times forward EV/Sales despite growing twice as fast (TSLA is expected to grow revenues by 57% in 2021 compared to NIO's 117%).</p>\n<p><b>Risks</b></p>\n<p>There are many risks associated with owning NIO.</p>\n<p>Although its battery swapping strategy is highly differentiated and seems to be growing rapidly, the jury is still out on the ultimate market share of battery swapping or fast-charging infrastructure. If fast charging technology continues to advance significantly, it will likely erode a key advantage of battery swapping: speed.</p>\n<p>NIO's business model is innovative and new. Unfortunately, the flip side of that is that it is untested, and NIO remains unprofitable. For many investors, NIO will remain a \"show me\" story until the profitability of its business model improves.</p>\n<p>NIO's ability to expand globally may be limited by the rising geopolitical tension between China and the US, and to a lesser extent, with Japan and Europe. The geopolitical situation remains highly opaque and uncertain, and is a risk factor for all auto OEMs.</p>\n<p>Auto OEMs are currently facing a severe chip&nbsp;shortage. In addition, the chip density in automobiles is increasing, making the OEMs increasingly reliant on semiconductor suppliers and foundries.</p>\n<p>NIO's competitive advantages may not overcome the massive scale advantage of ICE OEMs and much bigger EV players like Tesla and China's BYD.</p>\n<p><b>Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>NIO's technical and business model innovations make it a highly differentiated company in the exciting and rapidly growing EV market. The company is winning, and its competitive moat is getting bigger as its ecosystem of vehicles and services grows. Relative to the industry leader, Tesla, NIO's stock price seems like a bargain given its faster growth rate and lower multiples.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>NIO Is Winning</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nNIO Is Winning\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-18 09:31 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4435341-nio-is-winning><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nNIO is #1 in China's electric SUV market for good reason.\nThe company's success is driven by its brilliant innovations and marketing strategy.\nNIO is growing faster than Tesla, and yet, it is...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4435341-nio-is-winning\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NIO":"蔚来"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4435341-nio-is-winning","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1148576248","content_text":"Summary\n\nNIO is #1 in China's electric SUV market for good reason.\nThe company's success is driven by its brilliant innovations and marketing strategy.\nNIO is growing faster than Tesla, and yet, it is trading at a discount.\n\nPonyWang/E+ via Getty Images\nNIO Inc.

Not only could NIO cars be charged at any charging station for EVs, but the company also built hundreds of battery swapping stations in key cities in China, with plans to expanding to Europe.\nNIO's battery swapping strategy also gives the company the ability to offer a battery-as-a-service [BaaS] solution, which reduces the upfrontcostof purchasing an NIO vehicle by ~$11,000. Since cost is another major barrier to mass EV adoption, NIO's battery strategy appears brilliant as it solves both the range and cost problems.\nSource: Company\nAnother differentiator is the NIO brand, which management created brilliantly by introducing the EP9 in 2016. Six EP9s have been sold to NIO investors for 2.5 million pounds, creating an aura of exclusivity and quality around the brand. Next, NIO targeted the mass-market luxury SUV segment with the ES8, firmly establishing the company as a luxury car OEM.\nSource: Company\nChinese companies must struggle against the common perception that they make low-quality products. This is the same perception issue that Japanese companies faced following their defeat after WW2. Japan solved this problem by moving up the value chain as their economy matured and creating high-quality brands such as Sony(NYSE:SONY). Today, Japan is known for its craftsmanship.\nChina is following the same trajectory, and NIO is one of the emerging brands destroying the perception that \"made in China\" equates to poor quality. I strongly believe that investors who stubbornly hold on to that old perception will miss out on investing in some of the greatest brands the world will ever see.\nBuying an NIO car means much more than just getting a vehicle; it means getting into an exclusive club of services and convenience. Benefits include access to hundreds of swapping stations, lifetime free roadside rescue (including charge vans), lifetime free cellular connectivity, lifetime free warranty, and excellent customer service. This is a powerful selling point for NIO, differentiating it from Tesla, which hasrecentlydeveloped a poor reputation on the customer service front in China.\nSource: Company\nThe company is pushing the envelope even further with NIO House, a literal clubhouse for customers, and NIO Life, which includes NIO branded lifestyle products. NIO's effort to build a lifestyle around its cars seems to be working. This is good news for investors because the only way to escape the competitive battlefield of automobile OEM is to sell services and lifestyles to customers. This is why Ferrari's (RACE) operating margin is well over 20%, while Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) are in the single digits.\nFinancials & Valuation\nNIO is in hyper-growth mode. In 2020, the company generated $2.5 billion in revenue, up 126% y/y. In 2021, the company is expected to grow 117% y/y to $5.4 billion.\nThe company is not yet profitable but is expected to be by 2022. Gross margin only turned positive in 2020 and is expected to be 19.3% in 2021. EBITDA is expected to be negative $258 million in 2021 and a positive $206 million in 2022. Free cash flow is expected to be negative $42 million in 2021 before turning to a positive $354 million in 2022.\nHowever, despite the cash burn expected in 2021, investors should feel at ease since the company exited 2020 with $5.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents. Including $600 million in short-term investments and subtracting ~$2.1 billion in debt and operating leases and the expected negative free cash flow in 2021, NIO should exit 2021 with over $4 billion in net cash and investments. That is plenty of buffers since NIO is expected to generate positive free cash flow in 2022.\nSince NIO is not yet profitable, we will look at the forward EV/Sales multiple as is typical for hyper-growth companies not yet generating a profit. The company went public in September 2018, trading at around 7 to 8 times EV/Sales, before bottoming out at around 0.7 times sales in May 2019. The market, however, caught the EV fever in April 2020 and sent NIO's valuation soaring to a peak of 14.6x by January 2021. After the growth sell-off we recently experienced, NIO is currently sitting at a much more reasonable 8 times forward sales. This is a significant discount to TSLA's 10.2 times forward EV/Sales despite growing twice as fast (TSLA is expected to grow revenues by 57% in 2021 compared to NIO's 117%).\nRisks\nThere are many risks associated with owning NIO.\nAlthough its battery swapping strategy is highly differentiated and seems to be growing rapidly, the jury is still out on the ultimate market share of battery swapping or fast-charging infrastructure. If fast charging technology continues to advance significantly, it will likely erode a key advantage of battery swapping: speed.\nNIO's business model is innovative and new. Unfortunately, the flip side of that is that it is untested, and NIO remains unprofitable. For many investors, NIO will remain a \"show me\" story until the profitability of its business model improves.\nNIO's ability to expand globally may be limited by the rising geopolitical tension between China and the US, and to a lesser extent, with Japan and Europe. The geopolitical situation remains highly opaque and uncertain, and is a risk factor for all auto OEMs.\nAuto OEMs are currently facing a severe chip shortage. In addition, the chip density in automobiles is increasing, making the OEMs increasingly reliant on semiconductor suppliers and foundries.\nNIO's competitive advantages may not overcome the massive scale advantage of ICE OEMs and much bigger EV players like Tesla and China's BYD.\nTakeaway\nNIO's technical and business model innovations make it a highly differentiated company in the exciting and rapidly growing EV market. The company is winning, and its competitive moat is getting bigger as its ecosystem of vehicles and services grows. Relative to the industry leader, Tesla, NIO's stock price seems like a bargain given its faster growth rate and lower multiples.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":235,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":351177941,"gmtCreate":1616579934583,"gmtModify":1704795920637,"author":{"id":"3578379695086113","authorId":"3578379695086113","name":"Prospersim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ed1a29580048152f8f7a90edcb6861b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578379695086113","authorIdStr":"3578379695086113"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/351177941","repostId":"1169987647","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1169987647","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1616579724,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1169987647?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-24 17:55","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Xiaomi fourth-quarter profit rises 36.7% on handset demand","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1169987647","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Xiaomi Corp reported a 36.7% rise in fourth-quarter net profit on Wednesday, as demand for its handsets increased.Xiaomi group: in the fourth quarter of 2020, the revenue is 70.46 billion yuan, the market is expected to be 75.226 billion yuan, compared with 56.47 billion yuan in the same period last year.In the fourth quarter of 2020, Xiaomi's smartphone revenue reached 42.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 38.4%.

However activity is starting to tick up again, with at least six companies currently gauging investor demand for their listings.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":71,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":327928306,"gmtCreate":1616052647105,"gmtModify":1704790243601,"author":{"id":"3578379695086113","authorId":"3578379695086113","name":"Prospersim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ed1a29580048152f8f7a90edcb6861b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578379695086113","authorIdStr":"3578379695086113"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Interesting","listText":"Interesting","text":"Interesting","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/327928306","repostId":"2120518003","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":223,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":160316118,"gmtCreate":1623772172034,"gmtModify":1703819026950,"author":{"id":"3578379695086113","authorId":"3578379695086113","name":"Prospersim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ed1a29580048152f8f7a90edcb6861b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578379695086113","authorIdStr":"3578379695086113"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/160316118","repostId":"1150591447","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1150591447","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623769391,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1150591447?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-15 23:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here's a complete trader playbook for every outcome from the key Fed meeting","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1150591447","media":"CNBC","summary":"The Federal Reserve’s all-important policy meeting this week is going to affect where investors put ","content":"<div>\n<p>The Federal Reserve’s all-important policy meeting this week is going to affect where investors put their money to work going forward.\nThe Federal Open Market Committee,which will conclude its two-day...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/15/heres-a-complete-trader-playbook-for-every-outcome-from-the-key-fed-meeting.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Some market participants believe it’s still too soon for the central bank to signal such a tapering action, while others think the Fed will be able to find a happy medium that won’t upset the markets.\nEach scenario has different investing implications as they are expected to make big moves across asset classes.\nHere’s a playbook for traders on every scenario from the central bank’s key meeting.\nIf the Fed signals it’s staying with easy policies\nThe Fed could reiterate its transitory stance on inflation, ignoring the pick-up in price pressures reflected in recent economic data. If the central bank says its not time to remove accommodative policies and it’s not concerned about inflation, investors should stick with hedges against rising prices like commodities and stocks with high pricing power, investment banks found.\nBank of America screened S&P 500 companies that its analysts believe have the most pricing power and ability to expand margins at times of rising prices. The stocks include a few chipmakers —Nvidia,Texas InstrumentsandBroadcom— as well as consumer plays likeHome Depot,NikeandPepsiCo.Energy dividend payerExxon Mobilis also on the list.\nUBS also developed a framework for scoring corporate pricing agility, which considers pricing power, margin momentum and input cost exposure. For pricing power, UBS quantified the extent to which a company can raise prices over and above costs. For margin momentum, UBS tracked corporate pricing trends using its proprietary pricing mapping.\nFor input cost exposure, UBS searched for companies with negative sentiment around commodity and transport costs on earnings calls.\n\nBillionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones said earlier this week that investors should “go all in on the inflation trades” if the Fed keeps ignoring higher prices.\n“If they treat these numbers — which were material events, they were very material —if they treat them with nonchalance, I think it’s just a green light to bet heavily on every inflation trade,” Tudor Jones said on “Squawk Box”on Monday.\n“If they say, ‘We’re on path, things are good,’ then I would just go all in on the inflation trades. I’d probably buy commodities, buy crypto, buy gold,” added Tudor Jones, who called the stock market crash in 1987.\nThe legendary investor believe cryptocurrencies and other commodities are favorable inflation hedges. Other than buying the commodities outright, investors could also bet on related exchange-traded funds, like gold miner ETFs.\nThe VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX),the biggest gold miner ETF with more than $14 billion in assets under management, has outperformed the populargold ETF GLDso far this year.\nIf the Fed signals it’s time to start removing easy policies\nAnother widely speculated scenario is for the Fed to signal that it’s nearing the time to dial back easy policy saying it will start tapering soon and move up its forecast for a rate increase. Under such a case where the central bank isn’t sufficiently dovish, many expect bond yields to shoot higher.\n“It could easily move longer yields higher,” said Kristina Hooper, Invesco’s chief global market strategist. “A revised dot plot could be one way to do that if it shows the anticipation of earlier or more aggressive rate hikes. And Fed Chair Jay Powell could easily push rates up if he shares that the Fed has started discussing tapering or suggests tapering could start in the next several months.”\nTudor Jones warned that this scenario could lead to another taper tantrum that could cause a correction in stocks.\n“If they course correct, if they say, ‘We’ve got incoming data, we’ve accomplished our mission or we’re on the way very rapidly to accomplishing our mission on employment,’ then you’re going to get a taper tantrum,”Tudor Jones said on Monday. “You’re going to get a sell-off in fixed income. You’re going to get a correction in stocks.”\nCNBC Pro combed through the returns of all S&P 500 stocks during the last five significant spikes in the 10-year Treasury yield. These five periods of a sharp move in rates occurred between 2003 and 2006, 2008 and 2009, 2012 and 2013, 2016 and 2018, and 2020 through now.\nAfter we found the stocks that beat the market every time, we looked for the names that are well-loved by analysts on Wall Street today. The stocks’ average gains during those rising interest rate periods are listed below, along with the percentage of analysts with buy ratings right now.\n\nBank of America’s head of U.S. equity and quantitative strategy Savita Subramanian is advising clients to buy high-quality stocks when tapering nears. High-quality stocks have a “B+” or better S&P quality rating.\nSubramanian said during the 2013 taper tantrum, high-quality names outperformed their low-quality counterparts by 1.3 percentage points from peak to trough in May and June.\nA hint at removing stimulus could also hurt stocks that are most sensitive to the economic recovery, including cyclicals like financials, energy and materials.\n“More hawkish = lower growth. Cyclicals should underperform,” Dennis DeBusschere, macro research analyst at Evercore ISI, said in a note. “The fact that hawkish concerns are being brought up at the same time people believe the reflation trade is in trouble and you have a poor Cyclical backdrop.”\nSo far in 2021, the energy sector has been the biggest winner among the 11 S&P 500 groupings, up 46%. Financials and real estate both gained more than 20% this year.\nIf the Fed makes both camps happy\nA third scenario could occur in which the Fed signals that it is concerned about inflation, but the central bank is not yet ready to taper.\nIf Fed chair Jerome Powell admits the discussion of tapering but nothing has been decided, then the market will likely see a modest rally, led by tech stocks, according to Tom Essaye, founder of the Sevens Report.\n“This is essentially the outcome that Powell and the Fed have been telegraphing for the past several weeks,” Essaye said. “This would be a continuation of the past two weeks’ Goldilocks market outlook. This outcome would help the S&P 500 extend last week’s breakout.”\nInvestors have been rotating back to tech as of late with bond yields coming down. The tech-heavyNasdaq Compositehas rallied about 2.5% this month, hitting a record close on Monday, its first all-time high since April 26. In comparison, the S&P 500 has risen just under 1% in June.\n“This is what the Fed has been doing for the last several months — warning that an inflation surge was coming but that it is transitory so no need to taper,” Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at the Leuthold Group, told CNBC. “Moreover, this is probably the most expected outcome from the Fed meeting.”\n“Yes, there may be comments by members that the time to start talking about tapering is here, but I think Powell will continue to suggest that inflation is up as expected but is not yet acting any differently than anticipated,” added Paulsen.\nThis year’s pullback in tech stocks has opened some opportunities in high-quality names that are now trading at a discount, according to top-rated technology analyst Toni Sacconaghi of Bernstein.\nThe Wall Street firm found several technology stocks that have inexpensive valuations and are high in quality. Bernstein screened for the cheapest tech names based on their forward price-to-earnings ratio. The firm also assigned each stock with a quality score.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":161,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":160318702,"gmtCreate":1623772160106,"gmtModify":1703819026465,"author":{"id":"3578379695086113","authorId":"3578379695086113","name":"Prospersim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ed1a29580048152f8f7a90edcb6861b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578379695086113","authorIdStr":"3578379695086113"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great","listText":"Great","text":"Great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/160318702","repostId":"1187337744","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1187337744","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623770439,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1187337744?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-15 23:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"FOMC Preview: \"It's Like The Titanic Running At Full Speed.

At night.\nPerhaps it's prudent to ease up on the throttle.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":68,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":351800139,"gmtCreate":1616579995521,"gmtModify":1704795922758,"author":{"id":"3578379695086113","authorId":"3578379695086113","name":"Prospersim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ed1a29580048152f8f7a90edcb6861b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578379695086113","authorIdStr":"3578379695086113"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmmm","listText":"Hmmm","text":"Hmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/351800139","repostId":"1178385748","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":187,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":327928699,"gmtCreate":1616052699111,"gmtModify":1704790244087,"author":{"id":"3578379695086113","authorId":"3578379695086113","name":"Prospersim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ed1a29580048152f8f7a90edcb6861b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578379695086113","authorIdStr":"3578379695086113"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Interesting","listText":"Interesting","text":"Interesting","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/327928699","repostId":"2120130261","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2120130261","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1616048501,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2120130261?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-18 14:21","market":"sh","language":"en","title":"U.N. body raises global economic growth forecast for 2021 to 4.7%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2120130261","media":"Reuters","summary":"GENEVA, March 18 (Reuters) - The global economy is set to grow by 4.7% this year thanks to a stronge","content":"<p>GENEVA, March 18 (Reuters) - The global economy is set to grow by 4.7% this year thanks to a stronger-than-expected recovery in the United States, a report by the U.N.

What can investors expect from Wednesday's Fed meeting?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>We’re at a point where the market is moving way ahead of the Federal Reserve.</b>The Fed is on «outcome-based guidance», but the beast, that serpent in the market, wants more than that. Basically, the market is saying: «The US economy is going to grow 6 or 7% this year, and that will force you to taper in Q3 or Q4.» As investors are pricing in a tapering of the Fed’s asset purchases, financial conditions are tightening; especially in emerging markets, where spreads on credit default swaps are rising. So far, financial conditions are nowhere near extremely dangerous levels. But the problem is everybody thinks we’re in a similar situation as back in 2018.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>What do you mean by that?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n Once again, the Fed is playing «Tough Guy»: The market demands a policy pivot, but the Fed is trying to hold on to its path, essentially signaling to investors: «No way, relax». We had a similar set-up in 2013, 2016 and 2018. These were the three most significant monetary policy shifts where market pressures broke the Fed's desired policy path.\n <b>The problem is that back then the Fed had far more rope to play Tough Guy since the economy was stronger. In 2018 for instance</b>, the US economy was creating hundreds of thousands of jobs a month. In contrast, today’s employment-to-population ratio is 3.5 percentage points below January 2020 levels. This means 13 million Americans are outside the labor force. To get back to pre-pandemic levels, the economy has to create more than 540,000 jobs a month for two years.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>So what does this mean for this week's Fed meeting?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>The Fed is planet earth’s central bank. Every time they tried to play Tough Guy, they’ve blown up the global economy.</b>This time, the Fed's Tough Guy window is much smaller. In 2018 or 2013 that window was nine to ten months. Now, it’s like two months because the economy is so weak. If they let financial conditions tighten further, they risk a major default cycle.\n <b>The negative multiplier effect of a stronger dollar is much higher to the world economy than the Fed anticipates</b>. They can't afford to let the dollar rip higher, because there is so much dollar denominated debt in the world, so much trade tied to the Greenback. If they blow that up, it will just blow back to the US and force the Fed into a policy shift anyway. It’s like with an oil change at the car repair shop: You can pay now or you can pay later. That’s why the Fed has to pay now.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Why?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>The Fed’s back is against the wall, all points to proactive action on March 17.</b>They must suppress taper fears and cut these risks off, or else they blow up the global economy for the 4th time since 2013. We’re hearing that they’re already getting incoming calls from emerging market central banks right now. If Fed Chairman Jay Powell plays Tough Guy by staying with the current path, without offering further assurances of deeper, more sustainable accommodation, the beast inside the market will keep pushing him until he breaks. We will see a repeat of Q4 2018 and Q1 2019, where the Fed was forced into an utterly embarrassing pivot. One of those is enough for Powell’s legacy, he doesn’t want two.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>What kind of measures can be expected?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>Eventually, we will get the taper, but the overwhelming point is other weapons have to come first.</b>A Federal Reserve offering insufficient accommodation places markets in the crosshairs of a risk-off event. The first thing they will try to do is give some hard data points. For example, the US economy has to create 10 million jobs for the Fed to do anything on the balance sheet. Another way they can get out is calendar guidance, but that’s a more sophisticated weaponry. Bottom line, they should just say: «From now until the end of the year QE will continue at $120 billion a month, and we want PCE-inflation to get to between 2 and 2.5% and stay there for 24 months.» With that in place,\n <b>all they have to do is open the door two or three inches for yield curve control, and they can contain the dollar.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>The last time the Federal Reserve used yield curve control was during the time of World War II. Why would it resort to such a radical measure?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>Here’s the dirty little secret: Too many Treasury bonds are for sale.</b>There aren’t enough buyers, and that will force the Fed to step in. More than $3.6 trillion of US government paper was issued in 2020 versus $2.9 trillion in the prior year. With the new $1.9 trillion fiscal package coming from Washington, issuance in 2021 is slated to rise to $4 trillion. That’s a lot more than the Fed’s Treasury purchases through QE, so the spread between QE and debt issuance gets much wider. Washington is doing so much fiscal stimulus, I’m confident that this is going to force the Fed into yield curve control by September. If that’s the case, it will pressure the dollar lower and put commodities, value stocks, global cyclicals, materials and emerging markets into rotation overdrive.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>How come?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>Yield curve control deployment is the tactical nuclear weaponry.</b>If the Fed throws out yield curve control just as a threat, it will suppress Treasury rates and real yields will go much more negative. Over the last couple of months, the issuance has overpowered inflation expectations. Think of it as a car race: Treasury issuances were driving up yields faster than inflation expectations rose. But if the Fed starts to acknowledge that they are going to bring out new weapons like calendar guidance and yield curve control, then they’re suppressing nominal yields. So if inflation expectations continue to rise, then real yields go big negative – and that’s when gold and silver will take off. I think silver can double from here until early next year. Gold could be up 50%.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>How can investors best position themselves in this environment?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n In terms of emerging markets, we’re\n <b>long Chile and Brazil.</b>In Asia, South Korea looks attractive. We also like the KWEB ETF which consists of the big Chinese tech stocks. In the commodity space, we have a position in the XME ETF which owns mainly\n <b>copper and steel names.</b>One of the best companies we own is Teck Resources. This stock is almost like a commodity mutual fund, because the company has exposure to copper, nickel and even energy. Another favorite is Mosaic because in a commodity cycle where you have weather problems around the world,\n <b>agricultural plays are a good bet.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>What about precious metals?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>When it comes to precious metals, we love silver miners</b>like Hecla Mining. When the Fed eases its policy, the silver miners will outperform the underlying metal, and they will outperform gold because there is more leverage there.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>The gold price is down more than 15% since its all-time high in August. What’s the problem?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>Everyone thinks it’s 2013, so taper fears are sky high for gold. But the Fed cannot repeat its mistakes.</b>They must cap yields if they want to preserve the global economic recovery. Thus, the convexity with gold is very attractive. Every leg lower in real yields will act like a slingshot higher for gold. That’s why we love Newmont. The stock trades at 6x EBITDA with a 4% dividend yield which gives you some downside protection. And remember: The 2011-2016 commodity bust has made the balance sheet of these high quality gold mining companies a lot stronger.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>President Joe Biden has just signed off on a $1.9 trillion economic program. What are the chances of a second stimulus bill, aimed at infrastructure?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n It’s important to note that\n <b>a second fiscal deal for 2021 is not a slam dunk.</b>To pass the present $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, the Democrats used reconciliation. It’s a very special trick in US politics, because with reconciliation you don’t need 60 votes to pass a bill in the Senate. All you need is 50 votes. Yet, reconciliation has to be tied to a budget year. This means the next time the Democrats can use it is probably in the fourth quarter, late November or December, and tie it to the following year's budget. So the only way to do an infrastructure bill in the next six months is with a traditional piece of legislation.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Is that even possible, given how wide the rift between Republicans and Democrats has opened in recent years?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n For that you need essentially ten Republicans. Right now, the centrists on the Hill, people like Mitt Romney on the Republican side or Joe Manchin on the Democrat side, are the most powerful people in Washington. They want to do an infrastructure program, but they want to finance it with tax revenue. They don’t believe in things like Modern Monetary Theory where the Fed is financing the deficit.\n <b>So you are going to need a tax hike. And in this regard, we’re hearing they could go after some type of flat tax on the FAANGs, the big technology companies.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>What does this mean for Apple, Google, Facebook and other tech heavyweights?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n Keep in mind, we’re in a populist revolution:\n <b>The risk of inequality leading to social unrest is high, and that puts pressure on politicians to pass bills to tax the rich.</b>But a wealth tax is extremely complicated, it would take years. The simplest way to do something in terms of taxes is to tax larger companies. In the eighties, the top 100 companies in the US maintained about 45 to 50% of total profits. Today, the largest 20 companies command about 85 to 90%. In addition to that, close to 40% of the S&amp;P 500’s market cap is related to tech. So tech is the low hanging fruit for the populists in Congress to go after.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>One more reason why tech stocks remain under pressure?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n We run a bunch of models. For example, we look at Berkshire Hathaway’s share price versus the Nasdaq 100 or the Dow Jones Industrial versus the Nasdaq. March 8th was the second time in 2021 that the Nasdaq closed down 2% with the Dow closing higher.\n <b>We haven’t seen this type of data since the dotcom crash. It’s a very rare event which historically coincides with a longer-term rotation out of technology stocks. That’s a very encouraging signal for value stocks.</b>In this regard, we like the EWU ETF. It’s a wonderful basket of stocks because it’s full of financials and world class names like BP, Rio Tinto or Glencore. Officially, it’s called the United Kingdom ETF, but it’s more like a global value ETF.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Does this mean that the rotation towards cyclical stocks has only just begun?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>Many investors around the world are long a portfolio of stocks that was designed for the deflationary environment of the previous decade.</b>The decade ahead of us - with all what’s ahead in terms of fiscal and monetary stimulus, populism, regulation and taxes - will push investors toward more globally value related stocks. That’s where the best returns are going to be.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>So the previously successful «buy the dip» strategy of simply buying more tech stocks after every decline no longer works?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>The potency of dip-buying is in decay mode.</b>Global value is really starting to kick tech in the teeth, and when that happens, it wakes up what's called «real money». Keep in mind: There is fast money, mostly hedge funds which are nimble and make quick moves. In contrast, real money moves slowly. Those types of investors don’t make asset allocation decisions quickly. They base their decisions on committees and all kinds of meetings. As a result, tectonic plates are shifting beneath our feet. We’ve seen tremors after tremors where value is starting to crush growth, and now the earthquake is coming. At Bear Traps, we have a Bloomberg chat with 650 institutional investors, and I can tell just by these conversations, that the real money is starting to move.\n <b>And when the real money moves, that’s when the big quake happens.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>What kind of dislocations will this cause?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>Tech will probably be down 30 to 40% sometime between now and the end of October.</b>Today, the market cap of the Nasdaq 100 is close to $12 trillion, but most large-cap tech stocks are unchanged since July last year, while commodity and value-related equities are up 20 to 50%. In the US, if you talk to a hundred high-net-worth families, every one of those families owns Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon. But look what’s happening: Amazon’s stock is flat since the 4th of July 2020. That's $1.5 trillion of dead money. Last Friday, Amazon failed at the 200-day moving average again.\n <b>This is like Mike Tyson getting defeated by Buster Douglas, one of the greatest upsets in sports history. This psychology is moving through the market, pushing the capital migration process into value and commodity plays.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>However, investments in commodities are mostly not compliant with the trend towards ESG standards; especially when it comes to CO2 emissions.</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>The best ESG trade on the board is nuclear power. The largest uranium company in the US is Cameco with a $7 market cap.</b>Think about that relative to Elon Musk’s net worth! I support the Green New Deal, but this needs time, because solar and wind are still too far away to produce the amount of energy needed around the world, especially in India and China. The only way to meet that demand is through nuclear power. Uranium is coming out of a ten-year bear market, and it’s going into a massive new bull market. All the contracts between power plants and uranium producers are going to be adjusted. That’s why we like the URA ETF which owns companies like Cameco. I see some of these companies as six baggers: 500% upside potential and 30 to 40% downside risk, because uranium is still a risky commodity.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>In our&nbsp;last conversation, you recommended investments in the energy sector. Since then, names such as Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell or Exxon Mobil have advanced 25 to 60%. What do you advise investors to do now?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>For now, we’ve cut our energy book:</b>We’ve sold half of our shares in Chevron, and we’ve sold two thirds of our positions in Exxon Mobil and in the XLE ETF. What happens when you get into the fourth, fifth and sixth innings of a commodity cycle, tertiary sectors like metallurgical coal become more attractive. Sure, met coal, also known as coking coal, is not ESG friendly, but there is no way around it for steel production and hence the construction of skyscrapers, bridges and things like that. So coming into this infrastructure boom all around the world, coal has plenty of upside. That’s why we own names like Arch Resources and Peabody Energy. They’re low-leveraged, and really cheap, once again, on a risk/reward basis.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>What are the biggest dangers to watch out for in the coming weeks and months?</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <b>One spot to watch are all these forbearance deals in commercial real estate.</b>When we come out of Covid and the vaccines and the stimulus money are juicing through the economy, the market will be forcing the release of the forbearance on a lot of these loans. So if people don’t come back fast enough to the cities, these commercial real estate loans are going to get reset. This would mean some big defaults, and the banks own a lot of these loans. Also, a lot of leveraged loans are really rich. And then, there is potentially a fiscal cliff:\n <b>The sustainability of the $1.9 trillion stimulus package isn’t that great because a lot of it is just transfer payments replacing lost income for people staying at home. That’s why the US needs a second stimulus bill. If we don’t get a second bill, we are going to have a problem in about a year from now.</b>\n</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Larry McDonald Warns \"The Big [Market] Quake Is Coming\"</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nLarry McDonald Warns \"The Big [Market] Quake Is Coming\"\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-16 20:50 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/larry-mcdonald-warns-big-market-quake-coming><strong>zerohedge</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The mood is testy.

Washington is doing so much fiscal stimulus, I’m confident that this is going to force the Fed into yield curve control by September. If that’s the case, it will pressure the dollar lower and put commodities, value stocks, global cyclicals, materials and emerging markets into rotation overdrive.\n\nHow come?\n\nYield curve control deployment is the tactical nuclear weaponry.If the Fed throws out yield curve control just as a threat, it will suppress Treasury rates and real yields will go much more negative. Over the last couple of months, the issuance has overpowered inflation expectations. Think of it as a car race: Treasury issuances were driving up yields faster than inflation expectations rose. But if the Fed starts to acknowledge that they are going to bring out new weapons like calendar guidance and yield curve control, then they’re suppressing nominal yields. So if inflation expectations continue to rise, then real yields go big negative – and that’s when gold and silver will take off. I think silver can double from here until early next year. Gold could be up 50%.\n\nHow can investors best position themselves in this environment?\n\n In terms of emerging markets, we’re\n long Chile and Brazil.In Asia, South Korea looks attractive. We also like the KWEB ETF which consists of the big Chinese tech stocks. In the commodity space, we have a position in the XME ETF which owns mainly\n copper and steel names.One of the best companies we own is Teck Resources. This stock is almost like a commodity mutual fund, because the company has exposure to copper, nickel and even energy. Another favorite is Mosaic because in a commodity cycle where you have weather problems around the world,\n agricultural plays are a good bet.\n\nWhat about precious metals?\n\nWhen it comes to precious metals, we love silver minerslike Hecla Mining. When the Fed eases its policy, the silver miners will outperform the underlying metal, and they will outperform gold because there is more leverage there.\n\nThe gold price is down more than 15% since its all-time high in August. What’s the problem?\n\nEveryone thinks it’s 2013, so taper fears are sky high for gold. But the Fed cannot repeat its mistakes.They must cap yields if they want to preserve the global economic recovery. Thus, the convexity with gold is very attractive. Every leg lower in real yields will act like a slingshot higher for gold. That’s why we love Newmont. The stock trades at 6x EBITDA with a 4% dividend yield which gives you some downside protection. And remember: The 2011-2016 commodity bust has made the balance sheet of these high quality gold mining companies a lot stronger.\n\nPresident Joe Biden has just signed off on a $1.9 trillion economic program. What are the chances of a second stimulus bill, aimed at infrastructure?\n\n It’s important to note that\n a second fiscal deal for 2021 is not a slam dunk.To pass the present $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, the Democrats used reconciliation. It’s a very special trick in US politics, because with reconciliation you don’t need 60 votes to pass a bill in the Senate. All you need is 50 votes. Yet, reconciliation has to be tied to a budget year. This means the next time the Democrats can use it is probably in the fourth quarter, late November or December, and tie it to the following year's budget. So the only way to do an infrastructure bill in the next six months is with a traditional piece of legislation.\n\nIs that even possible, given how wide the rift between Republicans and Democrats has opened in recent years?\n\n For that you need essentially ten Republicans. Right now, the centrists on the Hill, people like Mitt Romney on the Republican side or Joe Manchin on the Democrat side, are the most powerful people in Washington. They want to do an infrastructure program, but they want to finance it with tax revenue. They don’t believe in things like Modern Monetary Theory where the Fed is financing the deficit.\n So you are going to need a tax hike. And in this regard, we’re hearing they could go after some type of flat tax on the FAANGs, the big technology companies.\n\nWhat does this mean for Apple, Google, Facebook and other tech heavyweights?\n\n Keep in mind, we’re in a populist revolution:\n The risk of inequality leading to social unrest is high, and that puts pressure on politicians to pass bills to tax the rich.But a wealth tax is extremely complicated, it would take years. The simplest way to do something in terms of taxes is to tax larger companies. In the eighties, the top 100 companies in the US maintained about 45 to 50% of total profits. Today, the largest 20 companies command about 85 to 90%. In addition to that, close to 40% of the S&P 500’s market cap is related to tech. So tech is the low hanging fruit for the populists in Congress to go after.\n\nOne more reason why tech stocks remain under pressure?\n\n We run a bunch of models. For example, we look at Berkshire Hathaway’s share price versus the Nasdaq 100 or the Dow Jones Industrial versus the Nasdaq. March 8th was the second time in 2021 that the Nasdaq closed down 2% with the Dow closing higher.\n We haven’t seen this type of data since the dotcom crash. It’s a very rare event which historically coincides with a longer-term rotation out of technology stocks. That’s a very encouraging signal for value stocks.In this regard, we like the EWU ETF. It’s a wonderful basket of stocks because it’s full of financials and world class names like BP, Rio Tinto or Glencore. Officially, it’s called the United Kingdom ETF, but it’s more like a global value ETF.\n\nDoes this mean that the rotation towards cyclical stocks has only just begun?\n\nMany investors around the world are long a portfolio of stocks that was designed for the deflationary environment of the previous decade.The decade ahead of us - with all what’s ahead in terms of fiscal and monetary stimulus, populism, regulation and taxes - will push investors toward more globally value related stocks. That’s where the best returns are going to be.\n\nSo the previously successful «buy the dip» strategy of simply buying more tech stocks after every decline no longer works?\n\nThe potency of dip-buying is in decay mode.Global value is really starting to kick tech in the teeth, and when that happens, it wakes up what's called «real money». Keep in mind: There is fast money, mostly hedge funds which are nimble and make quick moves. In contrast, real money moves slowly. Those types of investors don’t make asset allocation decisions quickly. They base their decisions on committees and all kinds of meetings. As a result, tectonic plates are shifting beneath our feet. We’ve seen tremors after tremors where value is starting to crush growth, and now the earthquake is coming. At Bear Traps, we have a Bloomberg chat with 650 institutional investors, and I can tell just by these conversations, that the real money is starting to move.\n And when the real money moves, that’s when the big quake happens.\n\nWhat kind of dislocations will this cause?\n\nTech will probably be down 30 to 40% sometime between now and the end of October.Today, the market cap of the Nasdaq 100 is close to $12 trillion, but most large-cap tech stocks are unchanged since July last year, while commodity and value-related equities are up 20 to 50%. In the US, if you talk to a hundred high-net-worth families, every one of those families owns Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon. But look what’s happening: Amazon’s stock is flat since the 4th of July 2020. That's $1.5 trillion of dead money. Last Friday, Amazon failed at the 200-day moving average again.\n This is like Mike Tyson getting defeated by Buster Douglas, one of the greatest upsets in sports history. This psychology is moving through the market, pushing the capital migration process into value and commodity plays.\n\nHowever, investments in commodities are mostly not compliant with the trend towards ESG standards; especially when it comes to CO2 emissions.\n\nThe best ESG trade on the board is nuclear power. The largest uranium company in the US is Cameco with a $7 market cap.Think about that relative to Elon Musk’s net worth! I support the Green New Deal, but this needs time, because solar and wind are still too far away to produce the amount of energy needed around the world, especially in India and China. The only way to meet that demand is through nuclear power. Uranium is coming out of a ten-year bear market, and it’s going into a massive new bull market. All the contracts between power plants and uranium producers are going to be adjusted. That’s why we like the URA ETF which owns companies like Cameco. I see some of these companies as six baggers: 500% upside potential and 30 to 40% downside risk, because uranium is still a risky commodity.\n\nIn our last conversation, you recommended investments in the energy sector. Since then, names such as Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell or Exxon Mobil have advanced 25 to 60%. What do you advise investors to do now?\n\nFor now, we’ve cut our energy book:We’ve sold half of our shares in Chevron, and we’ve sold two thirds of our positions in Exxon Mobil and in the XLE ETF. What happens when you get into the fourth, fifth and sixth innings of a commodity cycle, tertiary sectors like metallurgical coal become more attractive. Sure, met coal, also known as coking coal, is not ESG friendly, but there is no way around it for steel production and hence the construction of skyscrapers, bridges and things like that. So coming into this infrastructure boom all around the world, coal has plenty of upside. That’s why we own names like Arch Resources and Peabody Energy. They’re low-leveraged, and really cheap, once again, on a risk/reward basis.\n\nWhat are the biggest dangers to watch out for in the coming weeks and months?\n\nOne spot to watch are all these forbearance deals in commercial real estate.When we come out of Covid and the vaccines and the stimulus money are juicing through the economy, the market will be forcing the release of the forbearance on a lot of these loans. So if people don’t come back fast enough to the cities, these commercial real estate loans are going to get reset. This would mean some big defaults, and the banks own a lot of these loans. Also, a lot of leveraged loans are really rich. And then, there is potentially a fiscal cliff:\n The sustainability of the $1.9 trillion stimulus package isn’t that great because a lot of it is just transfer payments replacing lost income for people staying at home. That’s why the US needs a second stimulus bill. If we don’t get a second bill, we are going to have a problem in about a year from now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":232,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
