However, a closer look at the latest release raises questions about whether it can truly revive the tech giant’s fortunes. 1.

ARM’s IPO: A Sky-High Debut and a Patient Investor’s Strategy

$Arm Holdings(ARM)$ The recent IPO of ARM made waves in the investment world, with shares closing at $63.59 on the first day of trading—a remarkable 20% surge from its initial offering price. While this performance may have been exhilarating for some, I’ve chosen a more measured approach to this hotly anticipated debut. 1. A Red-Hot Debut ARM’s IPO was undoubtedly one of the most anticipated events in the tech world. The stock market can be a theater of surprises, but the fact that ARM witnessed a 20% jump on its first day of trading was not one of them. The enthusiasm surrounding ARM has been palpable, but as a cautious investor, I believe that an IPO frenzy should never be the sole driver of investment decisions. 2. Valuation at a Crossroads

CPI figures came in lower than expected for the month of November. It did not come as a surprise to me.  Previously when Fed Fund Rate was 3.00-3.75%, the inflation came down from 8.2% to 7.7% which represents a 0.5% slowdown.  After which, the Fed hiked another 75bps which lead to the Fed Fund Rate to be at 3.75-4.00%. At this higher rate, I would naturally think inflation wouldslow down by more than 0.5% (definitely slower than the previous month given the sustained rate hike). November CPI figures indeed came in lower at 7.1% from 7.7% (a 0.6% slow down). Should the Fed continue to hike another 50-75bps,I believe 7.1% would come down to 6.4% (0.7% slow down) for the month of December. For sure, thisis not a simple logical math game but at the look ofit, inf
