Financial conditions have eased to levels not seen since the spring of 2022. This easing has led to increases in commodity prices, drops in mortgage rates, a weakening ofthe dollar, and a rally in stocks.</p><p>The February FOMC will take on extra importance because the Fed will need to push back on the current easing of financial conditions. If the Fed truly believes that monetary policy is transmitted through financial conditions, then the Fed hasn&#39;t been successful. Conditions are currently at levels equal to when the Fed first started to raise rates. These conditions are accommodative to the economy and aid in its expansion, exactly the opposite of the Fed&#39;s desire to get the economy to grow at a below-trend rate.</p><p>Pushing back atthis point in the game may be even harder than it was when Powell gave his Jackson Hole speech. The market knows the Fed is closer to the end of its rate hiking cycle than the beginning. The market also expects inflation to continue to drop. This means the Fed can either raise rates by 50 bps, which would be a big surprise to markets, or give guidance that financial conditions have eased too much, which will extend the rate tightening cycle.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dbe207b1b71276d33c158bc7b06111f3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"351\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><h2><b>Prices Are Rising</b></h2><p>One effect of easing financial conditions is rising commodity prices.

Changes in copper prices can lead to changes in year-over-year changes in CPI. The recent increase in copper prices is due to two factors: the reopening of China and a weaker dollar. While the Federal Reserve cannot control the enthusiasm for a rebound in the Chinese economy, it can attempt to tighten financial conditions, strengthening the dollar and potentially slowing the copper rally.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cab717ffe912bd6c307e1a6c5a83d2ba\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"351\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p>Meanwhile, lumber prices have risen dramatically this month as new home sales begin to pick up again.

This would be the most significant increase in the monthly change of CPI since June.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e61e00d682016c7784c65f6a79b3133e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"351\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p>Based on those estimates, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) could rise by 6.4% in January, showing no significant improvement compared to December. Inflation swaps for January have also been ticking higher in recent weeks, indicating that the market is also now expecting a higher reading in January.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/700c6aacb37d131c8a6876e80ece1cb4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p>This is a real risk for the Federal Reserve if the Cleveland Fed&#39;s predictions come true, as it would negate the progress the Fed has made since the summer peak in inflation and could call into question whether the downtrend we have witnessed in inflation has begun to reverse.</p><p>The bottom line is that the Fed cannot afford to have financial conditions ease any further and needs them to start tightening again to slow the inflationary impulses that appear to be coming back to life. According to the Bloomberg Financial Conditions Index, conditions have returned to levels seen in February 2022, before the Fed started raising rates and only discussed the possibility of raising rates.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d8bcaf7ae973c1a5c9e15f6af9910c6\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"261\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><h2><b>Sufficiently Restrictive</b></h2><p>Additionally, from a monetary policy standpoint, the overnight rate is roughly even with the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation rate.

Or, Powell will have to give a very forceful message, possibly more forceful than the one given at Jackson Hole, and threaten that rates may not go higher than what was thought in December due to unwarranted easing of financial conditions. Otherwise, he may need to raise the topic of potentially increasing the pace of quantitative tightening and the balance sheet run-off.</p><p>Anything else would suggest that the Fed is okay with the current easing of financial conditions and is willing to tolerate the market taking control and driving monetary policy, which seems like a disaster just waiting to happen.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","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 Fed Needs To Send An Extremely Hawkish Message To Markets</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 Fed Needs To Send An Extremely Hawkish Message To Markets\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-01-30 14:49 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4573314-fed-send-extremely-hawkish-message-markets><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryThe Federal Reserve appears to be losing control of the market.Financial conditions have eased dramatically since the December FOMC meeting.The Fed needs to push back against the market before ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4573314-fed-send-extremely-hawkish-message-markets\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".SPX":"S&P 500 Index",".DJI":"道琼斯",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4573314-fed-send-extremely-hawkish-message-markets","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2307213302","content_text":"SummaryThe Federal Reserve appears to be losing control of the market.Financial conditions have eased dramatically since the December FOMC meeting.The Fed needs to push back against the market before it is too late.It appears that the Federal Reserve is losing control of the market.

Otherwise, he may need to raise the topic of potentially increasing the pace of quantitative tightening and the balance sheet run-off.Anything else would suggest that the Fed is okay with the current easing of financial conditions and is willing to tolerate the market taking control and driving monetary policy, which seems like a disaster just waiting to happen.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":216,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9927364422,"gmtCreate":1672402125066,"gmtModify":1676538685758,"author":{"id":"4108629412181280","authorId":"4108629412181280","name":"tplian","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7ecc0302d7a6f2cd28a1199a63498645","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"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/9927364422","repostId":"2295798099","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2295798099","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1672392370,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2295798099?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-12-30 17:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Uxin, Sesen Bio, Dermata Therapeutics And More: U.S. Stocks To Watch","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2295798099","media":"Benzinga","summary":"With US stock futures trading lower this morning on Friday, some of the stocks that may grab investor focus today are as follows:\n","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>With US stock futures trading lower this morning on Friday, some of the stocks that may grab investor focus today are as follows:</p><ul><li><b>Uxin Limited</b> (NASDAQ:UXIN) is expected to report its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 before the opening bell.

He estimates total assets of alternative risk premia strategies, for instance, have dropped as much as 50% since his $200 billion estimate at the end of 2019.“A lot of people have just given up,” Suhonen said, referring to clients. “They’re like: It’s not on my agenda because it hasn’t worked for the last 10 years and yes, this year has been good, but is it just a flash in the pan?”Managed-futures funds – which include trend followers – have drawn $8.7 billion this year after a $13 billion haul in 2021, eVestment data show. Yet fund liquidations still exceeded launches this year – which has been the case for every year since 2015, according to figures from Preqin.The pitch now is that markets are set to remain volatile in the era of ahawkishFederal Reserve. For quants that say their diversified investing methods offer an alternative to traditional strategies like the60/40 portfolio, gains this year are making that an easier sell.“Allocators will need to rethink their allocation,” said Braga at Systematica. “They’ll have to rely on uncorrelated strategies much more. The idea that you can have a 60/40 as a solid baseline is gone forever.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":155,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9923748756,"gmtCreate":1670923631575,"gmtModify":1676538460422,"author":{"id":"4108629412181280","authorId":"4108629412181280","name":"tplian","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7ecc0302d7a6f2cd28a1199a63498645","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"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/9923748756","repostId":"2290821687","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2290821687","pubTimestamp":1670882400,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2290821687?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-12-13 06:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Is Down 22% From Its High.

As such, the market&#39;s buying momentum has stalled decisively as the market awaits the Fed&#39;s rate decision, as the recent recovery has likely already priced in a 50 bps hike in December.</p><p>Despite that, Fed watchers reflect an outside chance of a 75 bps hike (23% probability as of November 6). As such, there remains a slim possibility of a post-CPI rally if the inflation readings are discernibly lower than anticipated.</p><h2>November&#39;s CPI Print Could Still Be A Significant Hurdle</h2><p>However, the Cleveland Fed&#39;s most updated forecasts suggest that the upcoming inflation print (including core) could remain stubbornly high.</p><p>Notably, it predicts a CPI print of 7.40% YoY, with core inflation (less food and energy) rising by 6.26%. Therefore, the forecasts suggest a lower print than October&#39;s headline figure of 7.7%.</p><p>However, core inflation is expected to remain sticky, in line with October&#39;s 6.3% metric. As such, we assess that investors need to be realistic about a Fed pivot in H1&#39;23, even as it could be heading into a data dependency phase in 2023. We believe a critical factor to watch is how the 5Y breakeven inflation could trend from here.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b9f0484f953730315c50d9609897f4a3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"340\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>5Y Breakeven inflation rate chart (weekly) (TradingView)</p><p>Our analysis of the current 5Y breakeven inflation rate suggests it has been making higher lows since September. However, the general trend since its March highs remains firmly in the downtrend, although the market doesn&#39;t expect the inflation rate to fall below 2% over the next five years.</p><p>Hence, we believe the market is cautiously positioned into next week&#39;s pivotal releases, which could shape the market&#39;s near-term directional bias.</p><p>Moreover, we believe the underlying market indicators have been pointing to a pullback over the past two weeks. Hence, the market seems ready to force a steeper selloff as it awaits the CPI reading and the Fed&#39;s decision.</p><h2>Market Likely Priced In A 50 Bps Hike</h2><p>While we don&#39;t think investors should short-sell the S&amp;P 500 (SP500) (SPX), we urge investors to be cautious about adding at the current levels. The Dow Jones (DJI) has also rallied into a bull trap, which doesn&#39;t augur well for its near-term buying upside. The NASDAQ (NDX) continues to lag behind the SPX and the DJI as investors poured into less expensive value stocks at the market&#39;s October lows.</p><p>However, we remain constructive over those lows. The risks of a recession in 2023 have been well-established and likely anticipated by the market. Edward Yardeni also highlighted in a recent commentary:</p><blockquote>If the economy is in for a hard landing next year, it would be the most widely anticipated recession ever. The Philly Fed&#39;s survey of forecasters, the WSJ&#39;s survey of economists, and even the Misery Index that reflects the sum of unemployment and inflation rates point to a recession. … But we think this time is different. There&#39;s been no broad-based credit crunch, liquidity is ample, consumer incomes are growing, multi-family housing remains strong, capital spending does too, and fiscal stimulus has been gushing. Real GDP shouldn&#39;t contract in such an environment but grow, slowly but surely. We&#39;re in the soft-landing camp. - Yardeni Research November 29 briefing</blockquote><p>Still, investors should not ignore the significant risks of the Fed remaining in the restrictive zone for longer than expected, which could result in a significant recession.</p><p>The Fed&#39;s James Bullard, a voting member on the 2022 FOMC, also suggested that investors shouldn&#39;t understate the Fed&#39;s hawkish stance.

However, as the market parses the Fed's revised dot plot, it's also configured for a pullback.Investors need to be cautious as the Dow Jones and S&P 500 have rallied into critical resistance zones. We also gleaned that the S&P 500's valuation is well-balanced at best.Wall Street analysts seem to remain optimistic that the market could escape a deeper recession. However, they have also been over-optimistic based on earnings estimates over the past 25 years.We highlight why investors need to be patient for the market to determine the directional bias from here.The Market Is Cautious Heading Into The FOMC's Decision WeekThe market heads into the Fed's blackout period before its highly anticipated December FOMC meeting pressor on December 14, as Fed Chair Jerome Powell updates the committee's median terminal rate and its revised dot plot moving ahead.With November's CPI reading preceding Powell's press conference on December 13, the FOMC will have an excellent opportunity to look into November's inflation reading. As such, the market's buying momentum has stalled decisively as the market awaits the Fed's rate decision, as the recent recovery has likely already priced in a 50 bps hike in December.Despite that, Fed watchers reflect an outside chance of a 75 bps hike (23% probability as of November 6). As such, there remains a slim possibility of a post-CPI rally if the inflation readings are discernibly lower than anticipated.November's CPI Print Could Still Be A Significant HurdleHowever, the Cleveland Fed's most updated forecasts suggest that the upcoming inflation print (including core) could remain stubbornly high.Notably, it predicts a CPI print of 7.40% YoY, with core inflation (less food and energy) rising by 6.26%. Therefore, the forecasts suggest a lower print than October's headline figure of 7.7%.However, core inflation is expected to remain sticky, in line with October's 6.3% metric. As such, we assess that investors need to be realistic about a Fed pivot in H1'23, even as it could be heading into a data dependency phase in 2023. We believe a critical factor to watch is how the 5Y breakeven inflation could trend from here.5Y Breakeven inflation rate chart (weekly) (TradingView)Our analysis of the current 5Y breakeven inflation rate suggests it has been making higher lows since September. However, the general trend since its March highs remains firmly in the downtrend, although the market doesn't expect the inflation rate to fall below 2% over the next five years.Hence, we believe the market is cautiously positioned into next week's pivotal releases, which could shape the market's near-term directional bias.Moreover, we believe the underlying market indicators have been pointing to a pullback over the past two weeks. Hence, the market seems ready to force a steeper selloff as it awaits the CPI reading and the Fed's decision.Market Likely Priced In A 50 Bps HikeWhile we don't think investors should short-sell the S&P 500 (SP500) (SPX), we urge investors to be cautious about adding at the current levels. The Dow Jones (DJI) has also rallied into a bull trap, which doesn't augur well for its near-term buying upside. The NASDAQ (NDX) continues to lag behind the SPX and the DJI as investors poured into less expensive value stocks at the market's October lows.However, we remain constructive over those lows. The risks of a recession in 2023 have been well-established and likely anticipated by the market. Edward Yardeni also highlighted in a recent commentary:If the economy is in for a hard landing next year, it would be the most widely anticipated recession ever. The Philly Fed's survey of forecasters, the WSJ's survey of economists, and even the Misery Index that reflects the sum of unemployment and inflation rates point to a recession. … But we think this time is different. There's been no broad-based credit crunch, liquidity is ample, consumer incomes are growing, multi-family housing remains strong, capital spending does too, and fiscal stimulus has been gushing. Real GDP shouldn't contract in such an environment but grow, slowly but surely. We're in the soft-landing camp. - Yardeni Research November 29 briefingStill, investors should not ignore the significant risks of the Fed remaining in the restrictive zone for longer than expected, which could result in a significant recession.The Fed's James Bullard, a voting member on the 2022 FOMC, also suggested that investors shouldn't understate the Fed's hawkish stance. He reiterated his stance (before the blackout period) that \"the Fed needs to at least reach the bottom of the 5% to 7% range to meet policymakers' goal of being restrictive enough to stamp out inflation near a four-decade high.\"Earnings Estimates Going Back UpIndustry analysts have started to revise their earnings estimates for the S&P 500 upward for 2023, seeing a more constructive environment in H2'23. Accordingly, the revised forward estimates suggest that the SPX last traded at an NTM P/E of 17.1x.Relative to the SPX's 10Y average of 17.7x, we postulate that its valuation is relatively well-balanced but with near-term risks skewed to the downside at the current levels.Despite that, we gleaned that analysts have already downgraded their earnings estimates for the SPX through November, aligning with the weaker operating performances in Q3 and relatively weak guidance for Q4.Still, FactSet data from 1997 to 2021 suggests that analysts overestimated SPX's earnings projections by an average of 2% (excluding outlier years). Hence, we believe investors must apply an appropriate margin of safety in their modeling.Therefore, we believe it's appropriate for investors to be cautious at these levels as they wait for a resolution from the pivotal data points next week, given the remarkable recovery from October lows.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":399,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9967500277,"gmtCreate":1670342491999,"gmtModify":1676538348439,"author":{"id":"4108629412181280","authorId":"4108629412181280","name":"tplian","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7ecc0302d7a6f2cd28a1199a63498645","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"great

Alphabet Inc&#39;s Google negotiate content supply deals with media outlets has largely worked, a government report said.</p><p>But the law, which took effect in March 2021 after talks with the big tech firms led to a brief shutdown of Facebook news feeds in the country, may need to be extended to other online platforms, the review said.</p><p>Since the News Media Bargaining Code took effect, the tech firms had inked more than 30 deals with media outlets compensating them for content which generated clicks and advertising dollars, said the Treasury department report, published late Thursday.</p><p>&#34;At least some of these agreements have enabled news businesses to, in particular, employ additional journalists and make other valuable investments to assist their operations,&#34; said the report.</p><p>&#34;While views on the success or otherwise of the Code will invariably differ, we consider it is reasonable to conclude that the Code has been a success to date.&#34;</p><p>The report mostly recommended that the government consider new methods of assessing the administration and effectiveness of the law, and did not suggest changing the law itself.</p><p>But it did note the law lacked &#34;a formal mechanism to extend the Code to other platforms&#34;, and suggested the government order the competition regulator, which led the design of the law, to &#34;prepare reports on this question&#34;.</p><p>&#34;The review shows the Code has been successful balancing bargaining power between news media and digital platforms,&#34; said Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones.</p><p>&#34;Digital platforms must continue to negotiate in good faith with news businesses to ensure they are fairly remunerated for the news content they create.&#34;</p><p>Google director of government affairs and public policy in Australia Lucinda Longcroft said the company had &#34;furthered our significant contribution to the Australian news industry&#34; by signing deals representing 200 mastheads across the country and &#34;the majority of these outlets are regional or local&#34;.</p><p>Meta declined to

Yet, it’s unlikely the two parties will see eye to eye when it comes to the metaverse.Although he’s withstood similar pressures multiple times over the years, Metaverse’s over estimation of public interest in virtual escapism is might be the endgame of Zuckerberg’s long-standing reign.The Leak has reached out to Meta for comments.Note: Andy Stone, spokesman of Meta Platforms, has replied to Twitter, denying that Zuckerberg will resign as CEO next year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":288,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9961290511,"gmtCreate":1668966182634,"gmtModify":1676538132406,"author":{"id":"4108629412181280","authorId":"4108629412181280","name":"tplian","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7ecc0302d7a6f2cd28a1199a63498645","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9961290511","repostId":"2284785084","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2284785084","pubTimestamp":1668905591,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2284785084?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-11-20 08:53","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alphabet Vs.

In terms of their Return on Invested Capital [ROIC], a very important metric I consider when pondering an investment decision, as a company must be able to consistently create value to be a sustainable investment, Alphabet seems to gradually increase its capital allocation efficiency over the past few years. Although Meta has been more efficient in the past, the metric has progressively dropped, until recently significantly falling under Alphabet’s level. The latter seems to have a more efficient core business, but Meta has seemingly more efficient cash management, observed in the relatively narrow spread between their ROIC and the Return on Capital Employed [ROCE], while Alphabet could significantly increase its capital allocation efficiency as the company reported a massive cash position of over $116B.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa03acf041d1be505b4a32558b182c46\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"315\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>Although Meta reports by far the higher gross margin, this metric’s growth is seemingly dropping from 21.94% CAGR in the past 5 years to 17.88% CAGR in the past 3 years. While Alphabet reported a lower actual value, the company saw this metric slightly increase from 19.38% CAGR to 20.72% CAGR, over the same time window. Meta’s main source of revenue began faltering as the widely popular video app TikTok massively increased its audience, and other companies increased their market share in the online advertising space, while Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) shift to a strict app tracking transparency privacy policy, requiring the user’s approval for apps to be able to track their data, had an estimated two-digit billion impact on Meta’s revenue. On the operational side, the companies have an even more divergent profile, as Alphabet demonstrated being capable of significantly increasing its operational profitability from 22.13% CAGR in the past 5 years, to 29.80% CAGR over the past 3 years, while Meta’s operating margin growth is decelerating from 11.96% CAGR to 7.03% CAGR over the same period. Meta is massively investing in the development of the Metaverse while rising doubts emerge concerning the company’s ability to reach its ambitious goals in a concept that only a few people understand, while at the same time the company struggles with a weakening advertising business.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8f1f88c88d16069afac3b3d995567a30\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"153\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>Meta reportedly has a more cash-rich business than the analyzed peer, while none of them is paying a dividend, both companies spend billions in share-repurchase programs. Alphabet announced its biggest share-buyback program of over $70B earlier this year, a major increase after the authorized buyback of $50B in 2021 and $25B in 2019. Meta has reportedly spent $91B to repurchase 377M stocks at an average price of $242, between 2017 and September 2022, a price that seems steep, considering that the actual share price is valued at -53% of that price. Meta also reports significantly higher EPS, while in those terms, Alphabet has had a less negative development over the most recent quarters and reported significantly higher growth over the past few years. Both companies are relying on debt for sustaining their business, increasing significantly their debt reliance since 2019, as the historically low-interest rates pushed many companies to consider more debt in their financing strategy. That said, both companies could repay the entirety of their debt exposure as shown in their net debt position and low leverage ratio.</p><h2>The stocks’ performance</h2><p>Considering both stocks’ performance in the past 5 years, GOOG reported a solid performance of 93.44%, while META performed significantly worse, losing 37.65% over the analyzed period. The most significant references show a mixed picture, with the S&amp;P 500 (SP500) returning approximately 53%, and the Nasdaq technology index, tracked by the Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) marked over 85% performance, while more industry-focused references, such as the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XLC\">Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund</a> (XLC) performed flat, while the Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) is the strongest outperformer of the analyzed references.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51b316e664d2e9457222c2ae8e80185d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"198\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using SeekingAlpha.com</p><p>While both stocks display periods of relative strength, GOOG reported massive resilience after every major drop, while META has significantly suffered after its All-Time-High [ATH] in September 2021, leading to massive value destruction for its investors, being priced at levels not seen since 2016. In the next section, I will show how the next few years are forecasted to play out for both companies and if the actual stock price may offer an interesting opportunity, while also assessing the possible risks in different scenarios.</p><h2>Valuation</h2><p>To determine the actual fair value for both company&#39;s stock prices, I rely on the following Discounted Cash Flow [DCF] model, which extends over a forecast period of 5 years with 3 different sets of assumptions ranging from a more conservative to a more optimistic scenario, based on the metrics determining the WACC and the terminal value. As forecasted by the street consensus, Alphabet is anticipated to generate a massive 17.27% Free Cash Flow [FCF] CAGR over the coming 5 years, with its operating and net profitability increasing at respectively 12.73% and 13.80% CAGR, while its revenue is projected to expand at solid 10.98%, above the expected growth in the relevant industries.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4f307c189819f83e89ac5301f675e985\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"395\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>The valuation takes into account a tighter monetary policy, which will undeniably be a reality in many economies worldwide in the coming years and lead to a higher weighted average cost of capital.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dfdac1fd157fda94ba58871ccb1c7b3f\" tg-width=\"573\" tg-height=\"599\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author</p><p>I compute my opinion in terms of likelihood for the three different scenarios, and I, therefore, consider the stock to be significantly undervalued with a weighted average price target with about 54% upside potential at $152.</p><p>Meta is forecasted to expand slower, with its sales growing at 9.20% CAGR over the next 5 years, and its operating and net profit margins are expected to grow between 8.5% and 8.9%, in terms of FCF the company is anticipated to substantially increase its metric, with 17.61% CAGR through 2026.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15cc9d6404157e698d23631783f3f4cd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"398\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>I then consider the same three scenarios affected by the company’s fundamentals and by the exogenous factors.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c566b27f98414ced096c76621fbf9c00\" tg-width=\"573\" tg-height=\"598\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author</p><p>Despite both stocks seemingly being undervalued, when considering the weighted average price target, the two modelizations suggest that GOOG may offer a higher expected return, while META’s expected performance is seen 50% higher than the latest closing price, or at about $167. Both modelizations emphasize the still substantial expected return, also in the less optimistic scenario.</p><p>Investors should consider that those forecasts are based on a relatively conservative assumption in terms of perpetual growth rates, higher discount rates, and the recent trend in increased interest rates, which reflects the actual situation and forecast possible scenarios. An inversion of this trend would change this perspective and value the company at a higher price.</p><h2>Outlook and Risk discussion</h2><p>With both companies having tremendous possibilities to expand their powerful product ecosystem, it’s quite difficult to estimate their relevant total addressable market [TAM], as both peers have shown to be able to significantly grow their business either organically or through strategic acquisitions. Alphabet and Meta own strong brands with Google ranked in the fourth position in Interbrand&#39;s Best Global Brands, while Facebook is ranked 17th. Google’s essentially monopolistic position in search engines, its gigantic database with no equal data-harvesting worldwide, and the dominant position in the smartphone industry with Android estimated to hold a share of 72% in the mobile operating systems’ market, while Apple is progressively gaining market shares, are only some of the company’s major strengths. Despite this, with approximately 80% of its revenue originating from income related to advertising, the company’s revenue model is highly exposed to demand fluctuations, and with a recession likely seen coming in major global economies, dropping consumer spending and cuts in expenses on advertising, will likely have a tangible negative effect on the company’s results. Privacy concerns and regulatory pressure, as well as data security, are also possible future threats to Alphabet, Meta, and their peers, as the biggest strength for the companies, the massive data collection, is the most damaging weakness for their users. Among Alphabet’s most promising opportunities I do like to underscore the company’s positioning in terms of Artificial Intelligence [AI], Machine Learning [ML], and cloud-based business, as well as its expansion into the wearable OS market, and the great diversification opportunities the company could access or create through its colossal financial strength.</p><p>Meta is building a strong product portfolio including WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Oculus, Workplace, Portal, and Calibra to diversify from Facebook and create expanded opportunities in strong secular trends. With over 45% of the world’s population using Facebook or its family products, the company holds an extremely powerful and irreplaceable position. But with approximately 98% of revenue originating from advertising, Meta is even more exposed to demand-driven fluctuations than Alphabet, and since the company is massively investing and focusing its resources on developing its visionary Metaverse, the diversification opportunities are, at least for the moment, seemingly more limited than Alphabet’s. Facebook has been losing popularity after facing backlash over its negligence in protecting the user’s privacy, while negative publicity, allegations of racial basis, or the platform’s inability to control the spread of fake and misleading information, may have cast a shadow on the company’s once brighter outlook. Despite this, Meta faces many opportunities in terms of possible monetization of its platforms through paid services such as news subscriptions, peer-to-peer marketplaces, online dating apps, e-wallets, or the development of other hardware devices, while its existing technologies could also be integrated or connected with a variety of other applications, such as e-commerce, gaming, or expanded into the digital creators&#39; space, or by offering remote-work solutions. In terms of future-oriented secular growth vectors, Meta has extensive expertise in AI and ML, which the company could use to penetrate markets such as the technologies used for autonomous vehicles, where other competitors like Google, Amazon, and Apple are already massively investing.</p><p>Alphabet is rated with a Strong Buy rating from Seeking Alpha’s Quant Rating since August 25, 2022, and holds the first two positions in the Interactive Media and Services industry through its two share classes.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b711fdd651560e12eb413b5c4321377\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"183\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>SeekingAlpha.com</p><p>Meta has instead been qualified as a Hold position since the end of 2021 and is ranked 22 out of 62 in the relevant industry. Both companies are without seen excelling in terms of profitability, while growth and valuation seem to be less favorable factors in the actual uncertain market environment, with Meta also significantly suffering from the negative momentum in its more recent price action.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c27a653d50c6e2a961374aeaa87c1171\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"183\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>SeekingAlpha.com</p><h2>The Verdict: Which stock is the better buy?</h2><p>The two analyzed companies are two global leaders in the technology services industry, with their respective strengths and weaknesses, but also offering inherent opportunities with their correlated risks. From an investor&#39;s point of view, it’s important to consider the company’s ability to create value for its shareholders, while minimizing the risks. Past performance is not a guarantee for future results, and despite GOOG overall performing significantly better than META in the past few years, the latter is seemingly offering great opportunities ahead, and my rather conservative modelization hints at the significant undervaluation of both stocks. Both companies have strong financials and report high profitability, but Alphabet is seemingly on a better path, as the company reported an overall better trend and is expected to optimize its profitability even further, while also owning a massive idling cash position that offers incredibly many options, and could even further increase the company’s already superior capital allocation efficiency. </p><p>Meta’s huge bet on the Metaverse may lead to great success, but it also bears a major risk, in times when the company’s great dependency on advertising spending is under pressure. While both companies’ Achilles heel is seemingly their dependency on spending in digital advertising, Meta is more reliant on it than Alphabet, and may also have shown less intention to diversify its revenue streams, when compared to its colossal peers. </p><p>I consider both companies as being a buy position for long-term oriented investors, but overall in this comparative analysis, I chose Alphabet as my favorite stock pick, for its preeminent opportunities and lower risk profile, while seemingly also offering the greater potential in its stock performance, when considering all three forecasted scenarios.</p></body></html>","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>Alphabet Vs.

Meta is massively investing in the development of the Metaverse while rising doubts emerge concerning the company’s ability to reach its ambitious goals in a concept that only a few people understand, while at the same time the company struggles with a weakening advertising business.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQMeta reportedly has a more cash-rich business than the analyzed peer, while none of them is paying a dividend, both companies spend billions in share-repurchase programs. Alphabet announced its biggest share-buyback program of over $70B earlier this year, a major increase after the authorized buyback of $50B in 2021 and $25B in 2019. Meta has reportedly spent $91B to repurchase 377M stocks at an average price of $242, between 2017 and September 2022, a price that seems steep, considering that the actual share price is valued at -53% of that price. Meta also reports significantly higher EPS, while in those terms, Alphabet has had a less negative development over the most recent quarters and reported significantly higher growth over the past few years. Both companies are relying on debt for sustaining their business, increasing significantly their debt reliance since 2019, as the historically low-interest rates pushed many companies to consider more debt in their financing strategy. That said, both companies could repay the entirety of their debt exposure as shown in their net debt position and low leverage ratio.The stocks’ performanceConsidering both stocks’ performance in the past 5 years, GOOG reported a solid performance of 93.44%, while META performed significantly worse, losing 37.65% over the analyzed period. The most significant references show a mixed picture, with the S&P 500 (SP500) returning approximately 53%, and the Nasdaq technology index, tracked by the Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) marked over 85% performance, while more industry-focused references, such as the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLC) performed flat, while the Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) is the strongest outperformer of the analyzed references.Author, using SeekingAlpha.comWhile both stocks display periods of relative strength, GOOG reported massive resilience after every major drop, while META has significantly suffered after its All-Time-High [ATH] in September 2021, leading to massive value destruction for its investors, being priced at levels not seen since 2016. In the next section, I will show how the next few years are forecasted to play out for both companies and if the actual stock price may offer an interesting opportunity, while also assessing the possible risks in different scenarios.ValuationTo determine the actual fair value for both company's stock prices, I rely on the following Discounted Cash Flow [DCF] model, which extends over a forecast period of 5 years with 3 different sets of assumptions ranging from a more conservative to a more optimistic scenario, based on the metrics determining the WACC and the terminal value. As forecasted by the street consensus, Alphabet is anticipated to generate a massive 17.27% Free Cash Flow [FCF] CAGR over the coming 5 years, with its operating and net profitability increasing at respectively 12.73% and 13.80% CAGR, while its revenue is projected to expand at solid 10.98%, above the expected growth in the relevant industries.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQThe valuation takes into account a tighter monetary policy, which will undeniably be a reality in many economies worldwide in the coming years and lead to a higher weighted average cost of capital.AuthorI compute my opinion in terms of likelihood for the three different scenarios, and I, therefore, consider the stock to be significantly undervalued with a weighted average price target with about 54% upside potential at $152.Meta is forecasted to expand slower, with its sales growing at 9.20% CAGR over the next 5 years, and its operating and net profit margins are expected to grow between 8.5% and 8.9%, in terms of FCF the company is anticipated to substantially increase its metric, with 17.61% CAGR through 2026.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQI then consider the same three scenarios affected by the company’s fundamentals and by the exogenous factors.AuthorDespite both stocks seemingly being undervalued, when considering the weighted average price target, the two modelizations suggest that GOOG may offer a higher expected return, while META’s expected performance is seen 50% higher than the latest closing price, or at about $167. Both modelizations emphasize the still substantial expected return, also in the less optimistic scenario.Investors should consider that those forecasts are based on a relatively conservative assumption in terms of perpetual growth rates, higher discount rates, and the recent trend in increased interest rates, which reflects the actual situation and forecast possible scenarios. An inversion of this trend would change this perspective and value the company at a higher price.Outlook and Risk discussionWith both companies having tremendous possibilities to expand their powerful product ecosystem, it’s quite difficult to estimate their relevant total addressable market [TAM], as both peers have shown to be able to significantly grow their business either organically or through strategic acquisitions. Alphabet and Meta own strong brands with Google ranked in the fourth position in Interbrand's Best Global Brands, while Facebook is ranked 17th. Google’s essentially monopolistic position in search engines, its gigantic database with no equal data-harvesting worldwide, and the dominant position in the smartphone industry with Android estimated to hold a share of 72% in the mobile operating systems’ market, while Apple is progressively gaining market shares, are only some of the company’s major strengths. Despite this, with approximately 80% of its revenue originating from income related to advertising, the company’s revenue model is highly exposed to demand fluctuations, and with a recession likely seen coming in major global economies, dropping consumer spending and cuts in expenses on advertising, will likely have a tangible negative effect on the company’s results. Privacy concerns and regulatory pressure, as well as data security, are also possible future threats to Alphabet, Meta, and their peers, as the biggest strength for the companies, the massive data collection, is the most damaging weakness for their users. Among Alphabet’s most promising opportunities I do like to underscore the company’s positioning in terms of Artificial Intelligence [AI], Machine Learning [ML], and cloud-based business, as well as its expansion into the wearable OS market, and the great diversification opportunities the company could access or create through its colossal financial strength.Meta is building a strong product portfolio including WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Oculus, Workplace, Portal, and Calibra to diversify from Facebook and create expanded opportunities in strong secular trends. With over 45% of the world’s population using Facebook or its family products, the company holds an extremely powerful and irreplaceable position. But with approximately 98% of revenue originating from advertising, Meta is even more exposed to demand-driven fluctuations than Alphabet, and since the company is massively investing and focusing its resources on developing its visionary Metaverse, the diversification opportunities are, at least for the moment, seemingly more limited than Alphabet’s. Facebook has been losing popularity after facing backlash over its negligence in protecting the user’s privacy, while negative publicity, allegations of racial basis, or the platform’s inability to control the spread of fake and misleading information, may have cast a shadow on the company’s once brighter outlook. Despite this, Meta faces many opportunities in terms of possible monetization of its platforms through paid services such as news subscriptions, peer-to-peer marketplaces, online dating apps, e-wallets, or the development of other hardware devices, while its existing technologies could also be integrated or connected with a variety of other applications, such as e-commerce, gaming, or expanded into the digital creators' space, or by offering remote-work solutions. In terms of future-oriented secular growth vectors, Meta has extensive expertise in AI and ML, which the company could use to penetrate markets such as the technologies used for autonomous vehicles, where other competitors like Google, Amazon, and Apple are already massively investing.Alphabet is rated with a Strong Buy rating from Seeking Alpha’s Quant Rating since August 25, 2022, and holds the first two positions in the Interactive Media and Services industry through its two share classes.SeekingAlpha.comMeta has instead been qualified as a Hold position since the end of 2021 and is ranked 22 out of 62 in the relevant industry. Both companies are without seen excelling in terms of profitability, while growth and valuation seem to be less favorable factors in the actual uncertain market environment, with Meta also significantly suffering from the negative momentum in its more recent price action.SeekingAlpha.comThe Verdict: Which stock is the better buy?The two analyzed companies are two global leaders in the technology services industry, with their respective strengths and weaknesses, but also offering inherent opportunities with their correlated risks. From an investor's point of view, it’s important to consider the company’s ability to create value for its shareholders, while minimizing the risks. Past performance is not a guarantee for future results, and despite GOOG overall performing significantly better than META in the past few years, the latter is seemingly offering great opportunities ahead, and my rather conservative modelization hints at the significant undervaluation of both stocks. Both companies have strong financials and report high profitability, but Alphabet is seemingly on a better path, as the company reported an overall better trend and is expected to optimize its profitability even further, while also owning a massive idling cash position that offers incredibly many options, and could even further increase the company’s already superior capital allocation efficiency. Meta’s huge bet on the Metaverse may lead to great success, but it also bears a major risk, in times when the company’s great dependency on advertising spending is under pressure. While both companies’ Achilles heel is seemingly their dependency on spending in digital advertising, Meta is more reliant on it than Alphabet, and may also have shown less intention to diversify its revenue streams, when compared to its colossal peers. I consider both companies as being a buy position for long-term oriented investors, but overall in this comparative analysis, I chose Alphabet as my favorite stock pick, for its preeminent opportunities and lower risk profile, while seemingly also offering the greater potential in its stock performance, when considering all three forecasted scenarios.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":114,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9963793711,"gmtCreate":1668749584433,"gmtModify":1676538107743,"author":{"id":"4108629412181280","authorId":"4108629412181280","name":"tplian","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7ecc0302d7a6f2cd28a1199a63498645","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9963793711","repostId":"1103280772","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103280772","pubTimestamp":1668736676,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1103280772?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-11-18 09:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bullard Sets Tone for Fed Officials Signaling Hikes Will Roll On","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103280772","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Borrowing costs should be high enough to curb inflationTightening has had limited effect on prices s","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Borrowing costs should be high enough to curb inflation</li><li>Tightening has had limited effect on prices so far, he says</li></ul><p>St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said policymakers should raise interest rates to at least 5% to 5.25%, hitting financial markets as investors recalibrated bets on how high officials would go.</p><p>“In the past I have said 4.75% to 5%,” he told reporters Thursday after giving a speech in Louisville, Kentucky. “Based on this analysis today, I would say 5% to 5.25%.

If the year ended right now, the 29% decline in the <b>Nasdaq-100</b> technology index would be the worst result since the global financial crisis rocked the world in 2008.</p><p>Soaring inflation has been the story of 2022 because it has crushed consumers&#39; spending power, especially when it topped a 40-year high in June. But the more recent inflation results have pointed to a cooldown, and thanks to ultra-aggressive interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve, there&#39;s a good chance that trend will continue into the new year.</p><p>For that reason, the companies that have been hardest hit by inflation could be the biggest winners in 2023. Here&#39;s why I predict global e-commerce giant <b>Amazon </b>and Google parent <b>Alphabet</b> will be among them.</p><h2>1. Amazon&#39;s e-commerce business is already bouncing back</h2><p>Amazon is the largest e-commerce company in the world, but while e-commerce still drives the overwhelming majority of its revenue, that part of its business has slowed significantly this year. When it comes to the impact of suppressed consumer spending power, retail tends to be on the front lines.</p><p>But green shoots emerged in the recent third quarter (ended Sept. 30). Amazon generated $127.1 billion in total revenue, a jump of 15% compared to the year-ago period, which was the fastest rate of growth in 2022 so far. Pair that result with the gradual improvement in the inflation picture, and investors can make the case that momentum might be building into 2023.</p><p>Amazon&#39;s advertising business deserves a special mention. Its $9.5 billion in revenue during Q3 marked a 25% expansion year over year, a sharp acceleration compared to both Q1 and Q2. When the economy is weak, businesses usually cut back on their marketing spend, and that has been obvious throughout this year based on the results of some of the largest technology companies. Therefore, observing Amazon&#39;s strong performance in Q3 hints that some confidence might be creeping back into the corporate world.</p><p>One area of disappointment in the recent quarter was Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company&#39;s industry-leading cloud services business. It has routinely been the bright spot for Amazon, and often accounts for the entire company&#39;s operating income thanks to its soaring growth and high profit margin relative to its retail segment.

If the year ended right now, the 29% decline in the Nasdaq-100 technology index would be the worst result since the global financial crisis rocked the world in 2008.Soaring inflation has been the story of 2022 because it has crushed consumers' spending power, especially when it topped a 40-year high in June. But the more recent inflation results have pointed to a cooldown, and thanks to ultra-aggressive interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve, there's a good chance that trend will continue into the new year.For that reason, the companies that have been hardest hit by inflation could be the biggest winners in 2023. Here's why I predict global e-commerce giant Amazon and Google parent Alphabet will be among them.1. Amazon's e-commerce business is already bouncing backAmazon is the largest e-commerce company in the world, but while e-commerce still drives the overwhelming majority of its revenue, that part of its business has slowed significantly this year. When it comes to the impact of suppressed consumer spending power, retail tends to be on the front lines.But green shoots emerged in the recent third quarter (ended Sept. 30). Amazon generated $127.1 billion in total revenue, a jump of 15% compared to the year-ago period, which was the fastest rate of growth in 2022 so far. Pair that result with the gradual improvement in the inflation picture, and investors can make the case that momentum might be building into 2023.Amazon's advertising business deserves a special mention. Its $9.5 billion in revenue during Q3 marked a 25% expansion year over year, a sharp acceleration compared to both Q1 and Q2. When the economy is weak, businesses usually cut back on their marketing spend, and that has been obvious throughout this year based on the results of some of the largest technology companies. Therefore, observing Amazon's strong performance in Q3 hints that some confidence might be creeping back into the corporate world.One area of disappointment in the recent quarter was Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company's industry-leading cloud services business. It has routinely been the bright spot for Amazon, and often accounts for the entire company's operating income thanks to its soaring growth and high profit margin relative to its retail segment. In Q3, though, revenue generated by AWS decelerated to 27%, which was the slowest pace of the year.Investors shouldn't expect that to last, because the cloud industry is critical to the corporate world and is slated to be worth over $1.5 trillion annually by 2030, so it still has plenty of legs next year and beyond.With Amazon stock down 46% from its all-time high, now could be a great time to get involved ahead of 2023.2. Alphabet's best times might still be aheadAlphabet is the parent company of Google, but the organization has branched out much further than its core brand. Google, however, is heavily reliant on advertising to generate revenue because of its world-leading search engine, and that business remains the driving force behind Alphabet as a whole.But Alphabet has another prominent segment reliant on marketing dollars -- its video platform YouTube. In September, YouTube led TV streaming viewership in the U.S. for the first time in its history.

Real incomes have actually, on aggregate, fallen, even though wages are higher than what would be consistent with a run rate associated with 2% inflation,” she said. “So they really are in the middle there, and they are coming down.”Officials in September forecast rates would reach 4.6% in 2023, but Powell on Nov. 2 suggested projections for the so-called terminal rate would probably move higher when they are next updated at the December meeting.Investors now see rates peaking just below 5% by the middle of next year.“By moving at a more deliberate pace, we’ll actually be able to see how that cumulative tightening is playing out,” Brainard said. “Exactly what that path looks like I think is really hard to say right now, but I think it will be very much better at balancing those risks by virtue of being able to take on board more data.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":81,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9960246195,"gmtCreate":1668185087717,"gmtModify":1676538026111,"author":{"id":"4108629412181280","authorId":"4108629412181280","name":"tplian","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7ecc0302d7a6f2cd28a1199a63498645","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"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/9960246195","repostId":"1155100032","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155100032","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":1668177168,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1155100032?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-11-11 22:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dow Opens Slightly Higher Friday, As Wall Street Tries to Build on Its Biggest One-Day Rally Since 2020","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155100032","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Stock futures rose Friday after China said it would ease some Covid measures, building on optimism f","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Stock futures rose Friday after China said it would ease some Covid measures, building on optimism from lighter-than-feared inflation data that fueled a broad market rally in the previous session.</p><p>S&amp;P 500 gained 0.1%, and the Dow rose 0.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite was flat.</p><p>Shares of U.S.-listed Chinese stocks jumped in the premarket after China said it would lift some Covid restrictions, shortening quarantine time for international travelers by two days.

The acceleration was fueled by the biggest jump in costs of hotel stays in more than a year.</p><p>Though private-sector data points to a stabilization -- or even decline -- in rents in a range of cities across the country, there’s a lag between real-time changes and when those are reflected in Labor Department data.

High prices have eaten away at wage gains and led many to either tighten their belts or rely on savings and credit cards to keep spending.Inflation and the broader performance of the economy played a role in Tuesday’s midterm elections, though exit polls suggest social issues proved a bigger factor than pre-election polling had suggested. As of Thursday morning, the results were unclear, but it appeared that Republicans will gain a narrow majority in the House of Representatives.Fed CampaignWhile the Fed has embarked on the most aggressive tightening campaign since the 1980s, the labor market and consumer demand, while cooling some, have proved to be largely resilient. The housing market, however, has rapidly deteriorated amid soaring mortgage rates.Consumer price growth is expected to further moderate over the coming year, though some economists expect the path back to the Fed’s inflation goal to include both a recession and a rise in the unemployment rate.Inflation is affecting economies globally, spurring the world’s most aggressive and synchronized monetary policy tightening in 40 years and raising risks of a global downturn.Shelter costs -- which are the biggest services’ component and make up about a third of the overall CPI index -- increased 0.8% last month, the most since 1990. The acceleration was fueled by the biggest jump in costs of hotel stays in more than a year.Though private-sector data points to a stabilization -- or even decline -- in rents in a range of cities across the country, there’s a lag between real-time changes and when those are reflected in Labor Department data. Bloomberg Economics estimates the shelter-related components will crest in the next two to three months, then begin slowing.Stripping out food, energy and shelter, the CPI dropped 0.1%, the weakest reading since May 2020.Monthly MoversFood rose 0.6%, smallest gain this yearApparel fell 0.7%, biggest decline since AprilHousehold furnishings fell 0.2%, most since January 2021Health insurance decreased a record 4%Overall medical care services fell 0.6%, most since 1971Used cars decreased 2.4%, most since MarchAirfares declined 1.1%While the Fed bases its 2% target on a separate inflation measure from the Commerce Department -- the personal consumption expenditures price index -- the CPI is closely watched by policy makers, traders and the public. Given the volatility of food and energy prices, the core index is generally considered a more reliable barometer of underlying inflation.Excluding food and energy, the cost of goods decreased 0.4%, the biggest decline since March. Services prices less energy increased 0.5%.Economists generally expect goods prices to continue to soften as a result of shifting consumer preferences, improving supply chains and lower commodity prices. However, services may keep upward pressure on wages and inflation for the foreseeable future.A separate report Thursday highlighted how high inflation is depressing workers’ purchasing power. Real average hourly earnings decreased in October and were down 2.8% from a year earlier. After adjusting for inflation, annual wages have fallen each month since April 2021.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":103,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9984769143,"gmtCreate":1667746856583,"gmtModify":1676537958234,"author":{"id":"4108629412181280","authorId":"4108629412181280","name":"tplian","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7ecc0302d7a6f2cd28a1199a63498645","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9984769143","repostId":"1150175524","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1150175524","pubTimestamp":1667703718,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1150175524?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-11-06 11:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Fall of Big Tech Is Boosting Stock Quants on Wall Street","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1150175524","media":"bloomberg","summary":"Factor trades are outperforming, from momentum to value betsInvesting approach is typically less tethered to tech megacapsMeta CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveils the Meta Quest Pro virtual-reality headset du","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Factor trades are outperforming, from momentum to value bets</li><li>Investing approach is typically less tethered to tech megacaps</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f8f65081ce9226625075ac95cb67e04a\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"666\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveils the Meta Quest Pro virtual-reality headset during the Meta Connect event on Oct. 11.</span></p><p>Another tech plunge, another shot in the arm for stock quants mounting a big comeback in Wall Street’s awful year.</p><p>As the Federal Reserve ramped up its hawkish policy guidance thisweekon still-raging inflation, the once-booming Faang megapcaps lost a further $568 billion in market value, bringing the cohort’s total capitalization to the lowest since mid-2020.</p><p>With rising interest rates spurring an abrupt end to the leadership of Big Tech, the largest technology companies are wielding less and less power over broader indexes, as former high-fliers likeMeta Platforms Inc.andAmazon.com Inc. crash anew in the latest wave of selling.

The crypto sector has wilted under tightening monetary policy, which has hurt liquidity and thus demand for riskier assets.The JPMorgan team said weak crypto venture funding in September and October imply a drop-off in July and August wasn’t purely seasonal as had been hoped.An index of top digital assets has slumped 57% this year. Bitcoin has been mired in a trading range around $20,000 since sinking to a low in June. The largest token was little changed around $20,320 as of 11:35 a.m. in Singapore.Alternative coins, like meme token Dogecoin, showed some life of late but that stalled Friday. Dogecoin sank as much as 10.3%, partially unwinding a speculative rally driven by the view that supporter Elon Musk might integrate the token into Twitter somehow after acquiring the social-media enterprise.Major crypto exchange Coinbase Global Inc. said Thursday it doesn’t expect the industry to rebound swiftly from a trading slump that’s battering revenues. The firm’s Chief Financial Officer Alesia Haas said in an interview “headwinds could persist or possibly intensify.”Global markets remain vexed by the prospect of a higher end-point in the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate hiking cycle to fight inflation. The latest bear-market rally in stocks is fizzling and a US Treasury yield curve inversion is at levels unseen since the early 1980s, pointing to a recession ahead.Such a backdrop suggests the possibility of a tough period for riskier investments like crypto too in the weeks ahead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":90,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9982141043,"gmtCreate":1667129754482,"gmtModify":1676537864914,"author":{"id":"4108629412181280","authorId":"4108629412181280","name":"tplian","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7ecc0302d7a6f2cd28a1199a63498645","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9982141043","repostId":"1195247398","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1195247398","pubTimestamp":1667095848,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1195247398?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-10-30 10:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon's AWS Vs.

In a bid to curb raging inflation, ranging from the core 6% to the headline 8%, the Fed has clearly shown no mercy to investors, taking the Fed Funds rate from 0 to 0.25% to 3 to 3.25%. And it&#39;s not done yet - the markets areexpecting two further hikes of 75 and 50 basis points in the next two meetings left in 2022.</p><p>Interest rate hikes didn&#39;t spare anyone - the S&amp;P 500 has dropped 25% from its all time high of 4,819 to 3,597. The NASDAQ COMP.IND and market leaders &#34;The FAAMNNG&#39;s&#34; Meta (Formerly Facebook)(NASDAQ:META), Alphabet, (NASDAQ:GOOG), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) suffered worse.</p><p>Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) not surprisingly, turned out to be the safest port in the storm that engulfed the markets this year, dropping &#34;only&#34; 24%, even edging the S&amp;P 500, <b>which is a huge sign of stability and faith in the company.</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7897610b12f272c531b6b0fc95fffd6d\" tg-width=\"535\" tg-height=\"164\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>The Drop in the Tech Bellwethers - FAAMNNG&#39;s (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p>A flight to quality is common during corrections and bear markets and having seen a few! I&#39;ve usually resorted to consumer staples and other defensives. This time around I&#39;ve bought Apple on dips and <b>believe it would be best line of defense and then some</b>, as we work our way out of this bear market.</p><h2>Q4-2022 and Q1-2023 Revenue Outlook Remains Solid</h2><p>Long time Apple analyst Gene Muster re-iterated his faith in Apple claiming that lead times are higher at this stage for the iPhone 14, than it was for the iPhone 13.</p><p>There was some consternation about Apple ordering an extra 6 million units for the I-Phone 14 and then walking it back. The short term drama aside, it&#39;s still on its initial target of selling more than 90Mn phones in Q1-2023 (Oct-Dec 2022). Clearly, there&#39;s no lack of demand and as initial reports have shown, the larger and more expensive iPhone 14s are selling better than the smaller base models, whose ASP&#39;s (Average Selling Prices) will help Apple&#39;s Sep and Dec quarter revenues.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a66301ddad3ba28d76bc55f9f72911d4\" tg-width=\"510\" tg-height=\"230\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Apple&#39;s Revenue Segments (Apple, Fountainhead)</span></p><p>I expect iPhones to grow 5% in Q4-22 and 4% in Q1-22, its biggest quarter of the year. Importantly, this is the first post Covid Dec quarter and single digit growth is still impressive on the back of 33% revenue growth in 2021.</p><p>The drop in worldwide PC shipments also doesn&#39;t seem to have hurt Apple. According to IDC, Mac shipments grew 40% to 10,060 in Q3-22. However, more conservatively, I&#39;m estimating that Mac will grow 8% in Q4-22 and 2% in Q1-23.</p><p>As has been the trend in the past several years, wearables, (I-Watch) and Services will carry the lion&#39;s share of growth at 16-12%, and 15-11% in each quarter, respectively.</p><h2>The Bull Case</h2><p><b>Apple&#39;s Biggest Moat - It is a fully integrated company.</b> It designs its own system on chips (SOC), the hardware and architecture of all its devices and the operating system that goes in them. Unlike the &#34;Wintel&#34; combination of Microsoft Windows and Intel, which was produced as a commodity and sold under several brands of PC&#39;s worldwide - Dell, Lenovo, HP, Asus to name a few, Apple never stepped out of its walled garden. It valued and provided the best user experience, put in all the best features and charged 30-35% higher than the competition. The same thing repeated itself in mobile phones - The I-Phone comes with the IOS, while the Android is free to be used by anyone else in the industry. And guess what, there was a time when Apple was making 90% of the profits in the cell phone business! This is a fantastic business model and I don&#39;t see any immediate threats to it in the near future.</p><p><b>Growth from Wearables and Services</b> - The I Watch, with 30% of market share of wearables, is in a class by itself, with the next two competitors in the low and mid teens. Initially dismissed as a fad, it has grown to a must have in the Apple eco system and with its foray into health, it will remain a major catalyst for growth for Apple.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d60baec40171cb065732ebb3713cca0e\" tg-width=\"437\" tg-height=\"61\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Apple&#39;s wearables and Services Segments (Apple, Fountainhead)</span></p><p>Around 2015, when I-Phones were close to 70% of Apple&#39;s revenues, there was a lot of hand wringing about how difficult it would be to move the needle of a $234Bn behemoth. The general refrain was that I-Phones were saturated, we had seen the best of Apple and it was relegated to a low to mid teens PE ratio and some even dismissed it as a hardware company! Well, seven years later the Wearables segment, which consists mainly of the I-watch has grown at an astounding 23% per year to $42Bn!</p><p>Similarly, Services has grown at 22% to $80Bn and has the best margins. The $2.99 you pay each month for extra storage brings in a lot of green for Apple!</p><p><b>Brand Loyalty</b> - You can&#39;t cut the cord. Apple&#39;s brand value and stickiness is priceless. I started with a Fitbit and once I was gifted an I-Watch there&#39;s been no turning back. The user experience is excellent across all its products and <b>addictive.</b> I was at a dinner with some friends and someone had forgotten their I-Phone; a friend gave her a Samsung Galaxy to make a call. She was worse than a deer in headlights! Absolutely clueless and handed it back with a shudder! You can&#39;t pry an I-Phone out a dead person&#39;s fingers!</p><p><b>Rewarding its shareholders</b> - Apple throws up gobs of cash, $104Bn of operating cash in FY 2021 alone, of which $14Bn was returned as dividends and $86Bn used for buybacks. With net margins of 21-22% of almost $400Bn in sales, and growing at 6%, Apple should continue to generate about a $100Bn of cash each year.</p><p><b>Expanding its Eco System - Apple Pay</b> - Remember the derision and ridicule Apple Pay was subjected to when it was in in its infancy? Well, according to Statista, Apple Pay now has a <b>92%</b> overall share in overall US mobile wallet transactions. <b>The point here is that Apple has the luxury, the cash and the resilience to wait and keep expanding its eco system.</b> Something, smaller and weaker competitors don&#39;t.</p><p><b>Very disciplined with its cash</b> - Apple doesn&#39;t waste money chasing expensive acquisitions, in FY 2020 it spend only $1.5Bn on strategic investments. These are strictly within its areas of competence. It spent a hefty $22Bn in R&amp;D in 2021, which is essential and lifeblood of tech companies.</p><h2>Valuation and Summary</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/039194dd18b6352532a347ca59387569\" tg-width=\"394\" tg-height=\"162\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Apple, Fountainhead</span></p><p>I&#39;m not recommending Apple as a growth story, the next 4 years are expected to grow at single digits, even as wearables and services hold up that mantle for years to come. And sure, there could be the A/R segment or autos in the future, which could well be the subject of another article and discussed at length.</p><p>At this juncture, the investment objective is two fold -- <b>one is clearly to own a AAA rated blue chip</b>, which has so far outperformed the broader, supposedly more hedged S&amp;P and other tech stalwarts and will be a solid bastion holding up to the Fed&#39;s whack a mole, whack anything strategy.</p><p><b>The second is the valuation.</b> Clearly, the 0.25% Fed Funds rate and the (ERP) Equity Risk Premium of 4.5% put equity valuations way beyond its long term averages. At its peak of 4,819 in Nov 2021, the S&amp;P 500 was about 24X, 2021 earnings of $200. With the Fed Funds rate rising and approaching 4.25% <b>that valuation and multiple was not tenable.It had to fall.</b> Now at 3,570 the S&amp;P 500 is valued at a more sedate 16.4 PE.</p><p>The same rationale applies to Apple.

In a bid to curb raging inflation, ranging from the core 6% to the headline 8%, the Fed has clearly shown no mercy to investors, taking the Fed Funds rate from 0 to 0.25% to 3 to 3.25%. And it's not done yet - the markets areexpecting two further hikes of 75 and 50 basis points in the next two meetings left in 2022.Interest rate hikes didn't spare anyone - the S&P 500 has dropped 25% from its all time high of 4,819 to 3,597. The NASDAQ COMP.IND and market leaders \"The FAAMNNG's\" Meta (Formerly Facebook)(NASDAQ:META), Alphabet, (NASDAQ:GOOG), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) suffered worse.Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) not surprisingly, turned out to be the safest port in the storm that engulfed the markets this year, dropping \"only\" 24%, even edging the S&P 500, which is a huge sign of stability and faith in the company.The Drop in the Tech Bellwethers - FAAMNNG's (Seeking Alpha)A flight to quality is common during corrections and bear markets and having seen a few! I've usually resorted to consumer staples and other defensives. This time around I've bought Apple on dips and believe it would be best line of defense and then some, as we work our way out of this bear market.Q4-2022 and Q1-2023 Revenue Outlook Remains SolidLong time Apple analyst Gene Muster re-iterated his faith in Apple claiming that lead times are higher at this stage for the iPhone 14, than it was for the iPhone 13.There was some consternation about Apple ordering an extra 6 million units for the I-Phone 14 and then walking it back. The short term drama aside, it's still on its initial target of selling more than 90Mn phones in Q1-2023 (Oct-Dec 2022). Clearly, there's no lack of demand and as initial reports have shown, the larger and more expensive iPhone 14s are selling better than the smaller base models, whose ASP's (Average Selling Prices) will help Apple's Sep and Dec quarter revenues.Apple's Revenue Segments (Apple, Fountainhead)I expect iPhones to grow 5% in Q4-22 and 4% in Q1-22, its biggest quarter of the year. Importantly, this is the first post Covid Dec quarter and single digit growth is still impressive on the back of 33% revenue growth in 2021.The drop in worldwide PC shipments also doesn't seem to have hurt Apple. According to IDC, Mac shipments grew 40% to 10,060 in Q3-22. However, more conservatively, I'm estimating that Mac will grow 8% in Q4-22 and 2% in Q1-23.As has been the trend in the past several years, wearables, (I-Watch) and Services will carry the lion's share of growth at 16-12%, and 15-11% in each quarter, respectively.The Bull CaseApple's Biggest Moat - It is a fully integrated company. It designs its own system on chips (SOC), the hardware and architecture of all its devices and the operating system that goes in them. Unlike the \"Wintel\" combination of Microsoft Windows and Intel, which was produced as a commodity and sold under several brands of PC's worldwide - Dell, Lenovo, HP, Asus to name a few, Apple never stepped out of its walled garden. It valued and provided the best user experience, put in all the best features and charged 30-35% higher than the competition. The same thing repeated itself in mobile phones - The I-Phone comes with the IOS, while the Android is free to be used by anyone else in the industry. And guess what, there was a time when Apple was making 90% of the profits in the cell phone business! This is a fantastic business model and I don't see any immediate threats to it in the near future.Growth from Wearables and Services - The I Watch, with 30% of market share of wearables, is in a class by itself, with the next two competitors in the low and mid teens. Initially dismissed as a fad, it has grown to a must have in the Apple eco system and with its foray into health, it will remain a major catalyst for growth for Apple.Apple's wearables and Services Segments (Apple, Fountainhead)Around 2015, when I-Phones were close to 70% of Apple's revenues, there was a lot of hand wringing about how difficult it would be to move the needle of a $234Bn behemoth. The general refrain was that I-Phones were saturated, we had seen the best of Apple and it was relegated to a low to mid teens PE ratio and some even dismissed it as a hardware company! Well, seven years later the Wearables segment, which consists mainly of the I-watch has grown at an astounding 23% per year to $42Bn!Similarly, Services has grown at 22% to $80Bn and has the best margins. The $2.99 you pay each month for extra storage brings in a lot of green for Apple!Brand Loyalty - You can't cut the cord. Apple's brand value and stickiness is priceless. I started with a Fitbit and once I was gifted an I-Watch there's been no turning back. The user experience is excellent across all its products and addictive. I was at a dinner with some friends and someone had forgotten their I-Phone; a friend gave her a Samsung Galaxy to make a call. She was worse than a deer in headlights! Absolutely clueless and handed it back with a shudder! You can't pry an I-Phone out a dead person's fingers!Rewarding its shareholders - Apple throws up gobs of cash, $104Bn of operating cash in FY 2021 alone, of which $14Bn was returned as dividends and $86Bn used for buybacks. With net margins of 21-22% of almost $400Bn in sales, and growing at 6%, Apple should continue to generate about a $100Bn of cash each year.Expanding its Eco System - Apple Pay - Remember the derision and ridicule Apple Pay was subjected to when it was in in its infancy? Well, according to Statista, Apple Pay now has a 92% overall share in overall US mobile wallet transactions. The point here is that Apple has the luxury, the cash and the resilience to wait and keep expanding its eco system. Something, smaller and weaker competitors don't.Very disciplined with its cash - Apple doesn't waste money chasing expensive acquisitions, in FY 2020 it spend only $1.5Bn on strategic investments. These are strictly within its areas of competence. It spent a hefty $22Bn in R&D in 2021, which is essential and lifeblood of tech companies.Valuation and SummaryApple, FountainheadI'm not recommending Apple as a growth story, the next 4 years are expected to grow at single digits, even as wearables and services hold up that mantle for years to come. And sure, there could be the A/R segment or autos in the future, which could well be the subject of another article and discussed at length.At this juncture, the investment objective is two fold -- one is clearly to own a AAA rated blue chip, which has so far outperformed the broader, supposedly more hedged S&P and other tech stalwarts and will be a solid bastion holding up to the Fed's whack a mole, whack anything strategy.The second is the valuation. Clearly, the 0.25% Fed Funds rate and the (ERP) Equity Risk Premium of 4.5% put equity valuations way beyond its long term averages. At its peak of 4,819 in Nov 2021, the S&P 500 was about 24X, 2021 earnings of $200. With the Fed Funds rate rising and approaching 4.25% that valuation and multiple was not tenable.It had to fall. Now at 3,570 the S&P 500 is valued at a more sedate 16.4 PE.The same rationale applies to Apple. It's multiple too has come down from 29 to 21X forward earnings. As interest rates stop rising and inflation gets under control in 2023 the multiples will expand. As the blue chip generating a ton of cash, fully integrated, best brand in the world, with all its moats and competitive advantages, Apple will go back to a much higher multiple and valuation.I own Apple and recommend buying it.This article is written by Fountainhead for reference only.

That’s a minimum level. According to this analysis, that would at least get us in the zone.”</p><p>Chair Jerome Powell said earlier this month that rates will need to rise more than previously expected due to disappointing inflation data, while suggesting that officials could moderate the size of their increases going forward. A key reading on consumer prices since then was better than expected but policymakers continue to stress the need to keep raising rates.</p><p>Officials in September had projected rates rising to around 4.6% next year from a current target range of 3.75% to 4%.

That’s a minimum level. According to this analysis, that would at least get us in the zone.”Chair Jerome Powell said earlier this month that rates will need to rise more than previously expected due to disappointing inflation data, while suggesting that officials could moderate the size of their increases going forward. A key reading on consumer prices since then was better than expected but policymakers continue to stress the need to keep raising rates.Officials in September had projected rates rising to around 4.6% next year from a current target range of 3.75% to 4%. Those projections will be updated at the Fed’s Dec. 13-14 meeting.US 10-year Treasury yields climbed after Bullard became the latest official to say that interest rates had further to rise to curb the strongest inflation in 40 years.San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said on Wednesday that “somewhere between 4.75 and 5.25 seems a reasonable place to think about” for the level that officials should raise rates to then go on hold.Bullard’s hawkish tone was echoed later on Thursday by Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari, whosaidit’s an “open question” how far the central bank has to go with rates to bring demand back into balance.“I need to be convinced that inflation has at least stopped climbing, that we’re not falling further behind the curve before I would advocate stopping a progression of future rate hikes, so we’re not there yet,” he told the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce’s 2022 Economic Summit.“The Fed is still maintaining a outward appearance of hawkishness pending another month of inflation data,” said Guy LeBas, chief fixed-income strategist for Janney Montgomery Scott LLC in Philadelphia. “One month of lower inflation doesn’t mean the war is over.”Data last week showed consumer inflation rising by a less-than-expected 7.7% in the 12 months through October.

That means a good portion of their net worth should be allocated to low-risk assets like bonds and cash, while a smaller portion should be invested in stocks. That said, buying individual stocks may be too risky or require too much research for some retirees.</p><p>Fortunately, there is another option. Index funds are a great way to gain exposure to the stock market while minimizing the risk and work involved. In fact, Warren Buffett once told Vanguard founder Jack Bogle that index funds are &#34;the most sensible equity investment for the great majority of investors.&#34;</p><p>With that in mind, these index funds could make retirees richer over the next decade.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VOO\">Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF</a></h2><p>The <b>Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF</b> (VOO) tracks the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>, an index containing 500 of the largest U.S. companies that covers approximately 80% of the market capitalization of all publicly traded companies in the U.S. To that end, the S&amp;P 500 is often viewed as a benchmark for the entire U.S. stock market.</p><p><b>Sector breakdown:</b> The S&amp;P 500 includes companies from all 11 market sectors, though five sectors account for 72% of its total weight: Information technology (27.3%), healthcare (14.1%), consumer discretionary (11.4%), financials (10.9%), and communications services (8.4%). Its three largest holdings are <b>Apple</b>, <b>Microsoft</b>, and <b>Amazon</b>.</p><p><b>Past performance:</b> The Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF has generated a total return of nearly 220% over the last decade, which is equivalent to an annualized return of 12.3%. At that pace, an initial investment of $10,000 would grow into $31,900 over the next decade.</p><p>Beyond its broad scope, the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF is a particularly compelling investment for two other reasons. First, the S&amp;P 500 has recovered from every past downturn, and the index generated a positive return 94.1% of the time over all 10-year periods between 1926 and 2017. Second, it bears an expense ratio of just 0.03%, meaning investors would pay $3 per year on a $10,000 portfolio.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VIG\">Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF</a></h2><p>The <b>Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF</b> (VIG) is designed to track the <b>S&amp;P U.S. Dividend Growers Index</b>, which includes 289 U.S. companies that have increased their dividend payments each year for at least 10 consecutive years.</p><p><b>Sector breakdown:</b> The S&amp;P U.S. Dividend Growers Index includes companies from 10 of the 11 market sectors (real estate is the one exclusion), and the top five sectors account for 80% of its total weight: Information technology (23.4%), healthcare (15.6%), financials (14.7%), consumer staples (13.6%), and industrials (13.3%). Its three largest holdings are <b>UnitedHealth Group</b>, Microsoft, and <b>Johnson &amp; Johnson</b>.</p><p><b>Past performance:</b> The Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF has generated a total return of nearly 193% over the last decade, which is equivalent to an annualized return of 11.3%.

That means a good portion of their net worth should be allocated to low-risk assets like bonds and cash, while a smaller portion should be invested in stocks. That said, buying individual stocks may be too risky or require too much research for some retirees.Fortunately, there is another option. Index funds are a great way to gain exposure to the stock market while minimizing the risk and work involved. In fact, Warren Buffett once told Vanguard founder Jack Bogle that index funds are \"the most sensible equity investment for the great majority of investors.\"With that in mind, these index funds could make retirees richer over the next decade.1. Vanguard S&P 500 ETFThe Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) tracks the S&P 500, an index containing 500 of the largest U.S. companies that covers approximately 80% of the market capitalization of all publicly traded companies in the U.S. To that end, the S&P 500 is often viewed as a benchmark for the entire U.S. stock market.Sector breakdown: The S&P 500 includes companies from all 11 market sectors, though five sectors account for 72% of its total weight: Information technology (27.3%), healthcare (14.1%), consumer discretionary (11.4%), financials (10.9%), and communications services (8.4%). Its three largest holdings are Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon.Past performance: The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF has generated a total return of nearly 220% over the last decade, which is equivalent to an annualized return of 12.3%. At that pace, an initial investment of $10,000 would grow into $31,900 over the next decade.Beyond its broad scope, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF is a particularly compelling investment for two other reasons. First, the S&P 500 has recovered from every past downturn, and the index generated a positive return 94.1% of the time over all 10-year periods between 1926 and 2017. Second, it bears an expense ratio of just 0.03%, meaning investors would pay $3 per year on a $10,000 portfolio.2. Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETFThe Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) is designed to track the S&P U.S. Dividend Growers Index, which includes 289 U.S. companies that have increased their dividend payments each year for at least 10 consecutive years.Sector breakdown: The S&P U.S. Dividend Growers Index includes companies from 10 of the 11 market sectors (real estate is the one exclusion), and the top five sectors account for 80% of its total weight: Information technology (23.4%), healthcare (15.6%), financials (14.7%), consumer staples (13.6%), and industrials (13.3%). Its three largest holdings are UnitedHealth Group, Microsoft, and Johnson & Johnson.Past performance: The Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF has generated a total return of nearly 193% over the last decade, which is equivalent to an annualized return of 11.3%. At that pace, an initial investment of $10,000 would grow into $29,100 over the next decade.Beyond its broad scope, the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF is a compelling investment for two other reasons. First, companies that consistently generate enough cash to raise their dividend tend to have strong fundamentals, and that often coincides with share price stability during periods of market volatility. In fact, the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF is down only 5.6% over the past year, while the broader S&P 500 has fallen 10.1%. Second, the ETF bears an expense ratio of 0.06%, meaning investors would pay just $6 per year on a $10,000 portfolio.As a final thought, retirees should keep at least two years' worth of cash on hand to cover living expenses, though some experts recommend a five-year cash cushion. Additionally, any money retirees will need in the next decade should not be invested in the stock market.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":67,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9914030309,"gmtCreate":1665124174602,"gmtModify":1676537561508,"author":{"id":"4108629412181280","authorId":"4108629412181280","name":"tplian","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7ecc0302d7a6f2cd28a1199a63498645","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sell","listText":"Sell","text":"Sell","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9914030309","repostId":"2273829845","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2273829845","pubTimestamp":1665107872,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2273829845?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-10-07 09:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Now Is Not the Time to Park Any Money in NIO Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2273829845","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Nio (NIO), like other Chinese EV manufacturers, is struggling with battery-material sourcing and supply-chain woes in general.However, a deal with a lithium producer may help to alleviate these issues","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><b>Nio</b> (<b><u>NIO</u></b>), like other Chinese EV manufacturers, is struggling with battery-material sourcing and supply-chain woes in general.</li><li>However, a deal with a lithium producer may help to alleviate these issues.</li><li>Nevertheless, investors should tread carefully with NIO stock.</li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8f283dcf01ba7103e8690f23edfaaf8f\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"432\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p><b>Nio</b> (NYSE:<b><u>NIO</u></b>) has to deal with many of the same issues that other Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers do.

GM has said similar things. All are targeting a market that is not growing as fast as Tesla&#39;s production ambitions. As a visionary, Musk has achieved near miracles to get Tesla where it is today. However, it will need another miracle in the near future if his target of 20 million cars are to be made, and even aiming for them could put Tesla into reverse gear financially. At Tesla&#39;s last Cyber Round Up in Austin, Texas, Musk said the company would &#34;end up building at least 10 or 12 Gigafactories.&#34; Those <b>Gigafactories cost Gigabucks to build.</b> They also require years to build, and he needs them soon if he is to make <b>20 million cars per year by2030.</b> That means completion before the end of 2029 - just over 7 years away. None have been started, nor even have locations been announced!</p><p>In the unlikely event Tesla achieved that number, it would require another miracle to sell that many cars, because gaining 16.4% of the entire world car market - including ICEs - is probably impossible for any car maker.GlobeNewswiremade the 2030 estimate of total car market size in 2030 of 122.83 million units that I used to calculate that market share percentage.

Economically it is growing still but the bigger threat for Tesla is political.</p><p>Among the latest flash points, Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, a de-facto independent nation that China considers its territory, only stands to inflame tensions on the topic already stoked by President Biden’sconsistent undermining of US strategic ambiguity. Military drills conducted around the island following the visit have onlyraised alarms among Taiwanese military officials. In recent days, President Biden discarded ambiguity completely by saying the US will indeed defend Taiwan.</p><p>China is no innocent and such tensions could accidentally trigger a new world war. Hopefully, that will not happen but Tesla’s huge investment in China is a sitting target in a trade war with the US.</p><p>Elon Musk’s SpaceX company may also compound Tesla’s potential problems in China. The South China Morning Post published this article, titled &#34;China military must be able to destroy Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites if they threaten national security.&#34;</p><p>There are also many reports that the Chinese government sees Tesla’s cars as a spying threat, having banned them in places requiring tight security and stopped government departments from buying them for official use.

Many of those can only be described as Elon Musk worshippers and they account for much of Tesla's valuation that putsit way above other car makers.Financial Times/S&P Capital IQBut even Musk cannot walk on water and has demonstrated that by selling more than $15bn of shares this year in an apparent anticipation of the ice melt. So far Tesla's shares are down around 34% YTD. If he is compelled to go ahead with distracting takeover of Twitter (TWTR) for $44bn, he may have to sell a lot more. And had he had confidence the price would increase this year he would not have sold that large amount so early to prepare for an event that may still be months away.I cannot walk on water either but I have been proved right since my first article Tesla's Ticking Time Bomb published on November 16, 2021, that advised investors to stay awayThe following chart shows that:Financial Times/S&P Capital IQI strongly believe the ice will continue to crack and the price will sink much further, drowning those that stay with it.That is a strong and very much contrarian statement given Tesla's incredibly good development under Elon Musk and I shall show some of those points here first, then expand on my outlook for a sinking future later.Tesla's outstanding performanceFinancial Times/S&P Capital IQTesla makes the most popular electric vehicles, EVs, in the world.

In some ways he was ahead of Tesla and now is way ahead because Wang set about a process of mastering technologies from their finished batteries all the way to the lithium and nickel mines.BYD is the largest EV maker in China and is now taking the first steps to export. Its prices are way lower than Tesla’s and its cars look ok too...According to a recent SA report Toyota(TM) - the world's largest car maker is going to make alow cost EV for the Chinese market in a jv with BYD.There are around 300 EV makers in China. The Chinese government wants to whittle those down to around 30 by mergers in order to make them big and able to enter world markets too. Tesla is number three in China.Leapmotor is one of those unknowns in the west that may one day be well known; Zhejiang Leapmotor Technology is seeking to raise as much as $1bn in what would be Hong Kong’s largest initial public offering this year, in the latest test of investor appetite for China’s fast-growing EV market. Leapmotor plans to raise as much as HK$8.1bn (US$1bn) from the sale of about 131mn shares in Hong Kong in a range of HK$48-HK$62 each.A report from Merics says \"Europe is now the main target for electric vehicle exports from China.\"New EV names are heading for US highways as are old established names. Many of those are detailed with photos in thisCar and Driver reportMany of those are targeting Tesla! Volkswagen (OTCPK:VLKAF) has said it aims to pass Tesla in EV sales by 2025. GM has said similar things. All are targeting a market that is not growing as fast as Tesla's production ambitions. As a visionary, Musk has achieved near miracles to get Tesla where it is today. However, it will need another miracle in the near future if his target of 20 million cars are to be made, and even aiming for them could put Tesla into reverse gear financially. At Tesla's last Cyber Round Up in Austin, Texas, Musk said the company would \"end up building at least 10 or 12 Gigafactories.\" Those Gigafactories cost Gigabucks to build. They also require years to build, and he needs them soon if he is to make 20 million cars per year by2030. That means completion before the end of 2029 - just over 7 years away. None have been started, nor even have locations been announced!In the unlikely event Tesla achieved that number, it would require another miracle to sell that many cars, because gaining 16.4% of the entire world car market - including ICEs - is probably impossible for any car maker.GlobeNewswiremade the 2030 estimate of total car market size in 2030 of 122.83 million units that I used to calculate that market share percentage. It makes worthwhile reading.It also looks rather stupid ifS&P Global's estimateof 26.8 million EV sales by 2030 proves correct. That would mean Tesla has to achieve 75% EV market share! It may have had that until now but there is no way it will by 2030.Hydrogen fuelled carsare all also hitting some roads in growing numbers. Toyota who led the world into hybrids are leading with that. Toyota’s Mirai - pictured below - looks good and is priced from $49,500.ToyotaTheir fuel cells Elon Musk dismissed as fool cells. Those \"fool\" cells use much less lithium than batteries and growth in EV sales means lithium is becoming scarcer and more expensive so they may yet make Musk look like a fool.Politics and EconomicsChina heads the list for both. Economically it is growing still but the bigger threat for Tesla is political.Among the latest flash points, Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, a de-facto independent nation that China considers its territory, only stands to inflame tensions on the topic already stoked by President Biden’sconsistent undermining of US strategic ambiguity. Military drills conducted around the island following the visit have onlyraised alarms among Taiwanese military officials. In recent days, President Biden discarded ambiguity completely by saying the US will indeed defend Taiwan.China is no innocent and such tensions could accidentally trigger a new world war. Hopefully, that will not happen but Tesla’s huge investment in China is a sitting target in a trade war with the US.Elon Musk’s SpaceX company may also compound Tesla’s potential problems in China. The South China Morning Post published this article, titled \"China military must be able to destroy Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites if they threaten national security.\"There are also many reports that the Chinese government sees Tesla’s cars as a spying threat, having banned them in places requiring tight security and stopped government departments from buying them for official use. Thisgetjerry reporttells some of that story.Given the influence the government has over its people, it could easily encourage them to buy Chinese brands in preference to Tesla.Emerging markets.The ice has already cracked for some of those such as Sri Lanka and they are now submerging markets. They will not be car buying markets.Europe.The fundamentals are not good for any car maker at present.Britainis again the sick man of Europe- an accolade it enjoyed in the 1970s- and now renamed Stagnation Nation. Today it has C words in abundance; a housingcrisis, a healthcarecrisis, an energycrisis, acost of livingcrisis and now acurrencycrisis too, the latter caused by acivil war. It is no surprise that the Bank of England projects British households are facing the biggest collapse in living standards since such records were first kept 60 years ago. The chief economist at that monetary policy custodian - the BoE - said the UK government's recent mini-budget loosening of fiscal policy \"will require a significant monetary response\". That response means raising interest rates thus making things worse and that civil war has driven British pound down to record lows in a country already in recession and heavily dependent on imports of many things. That means Tesla's cars - all of which are imported - have become more expensive unless Tesla absorbs the difference.Those warring policy makers there have had the BoE buying bonds while the Treasury needs to sell them to fund tax cuts! They have become the real life manifestation of the mythical Doctor Dolittle Pushmi-Pullyu creature which has two heads at opposite ends of the body pulling in opposite directions.That creature was a Do Little but its re-creators in Britain are doing a huge amount of economic damage!I may have used a lot of words on Britain - a country that may not be of importance to most investors and nor to me - but until fairly recently it was the 4th largest car market in the world and remains a large one ...for now.Germany is also a recession or nearly so. It is Europe's largest economy and the world's 4th largest.Cars are aconsumer discretionary and sales crash in recessions taking Tesla's (and others) stock price down with it.The US is in ok shape for now with employment in relatively good shape but a less obvious civil war is taking place there too with tight fiscal/loose monetary combination pulling in opposite directions. Maybe contagion from Britain’s illness is happening in the US.President Biden's new Inflation Reduction Act introduced a spending boost of $467bn that a much more hawkish Fed is trying to counter with higher interest rates to stop spending. That has already pushed 30 year mortgage rates over 7%. Buying a house and other essentials is more important than buying a new car.The concern about people not buying cars with those that do having more and more EV brands to choose from means many investors have already headed back onto firm ground.Tesla's stock price is below the 200 day moving average...BTIG and BloombergBut not all are heading for safety given theInvestment Ratings...CNBCThe Financial Times shows 37 analysts offering 12 month price targets for Tesla Inc have a median target of 333.33, with a high estimate of 461.00 and a low estimate of 24.33. The median estimate represents a 25.66% increase from the last price of 265.25.The vast majority of those analysts say the price will increase leaving very few in the contrarian camp - that includes myself.That differing conclusion is made more stark by the fact those analysts also know - or should know - that much of the world is in or near recession when car sales crumble plus the other danger factors I mention.SA ratings summary...SA Authors Hold 3.10Wall Street Buy 3.86Quant Hold 3.47Insider sentiment may summarise it all: Elon Musk and other insiders have long been sellers. The last time one of them bought was in 2019. Musk sold even more just a few weeks ago, in August!Joining all those dots leads me also to only one conclusion...Tesla Investors Are Skating On Thin IceMusk selling is tantamount to pulling the rug out from underneath investors.He and the company face many challenges including potentially very damaging legal ones.In my opinion his diversification into unrelated areas of business is both a distraction and a misuse of Tesla shareholders money.Tesla's price has long been at a PE multiple far higher than any other car maker during a time it was virtually alone and far ahead of all in making EVs. Today the EV market will soon be crowded in a worsening economic and political climate.Musk’s diversification into unrelated and overcrowded areas has been the downfall of all conglomerates in the past and may be is provingPeter’s Principleright!Tesla faces a mountain of challenges many of which have built up over a long time and remain unresolved with more added in recent times plus recessions now adding to those.Despite all that the majority of analysts - most of whom work for large, respected organisations - only see upside from here.Earlier this year my target was $100. That was before the split, meaning around $34 now.My conclusion is therefore starkly opposite those optimistic analysts. I see that above low forecast of $24.33 within the next 12 months as being closer to the mark than any of the others.Contrarian view that maybe but I am staying well away from Tesla and recommend that others get off that thin ice soon...before it finally cracks under them!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":350,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9919477449,"gmtCreate":1663855574482,"gmtModify":1676537350383,"author":{"id":"4108629412181280","authorId":"4108629412181280","name":"tplian","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7ecc0302d7a6f2cd28a1199a63498645","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great shorts","listText":"Great shorts","text":"Great shorts","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9919477449","repostId":"1168375426","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1168375426","pubTimestamp":1663860442,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1168375426?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-09-22 23:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Beaten-Down Stocks That Could Soar 51% to 70% From Their 52-Week Lows, According to Wall Street","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1168375426","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Its valuation is no doubt high on the list.

The most aggressive tightening campaign since the 1980s has included rate hikes of three-quarters of a percentage point at each of the last four policy meetings, triple the usual move.</p><p>“There are likely to be lags, and it’s going to take some time for that cumulative tightening to flow through,” Brainard said. “So, it makes sense to move to a more deliberate and a more data-dependent pace as we continue to make sure that there’s restraint that will bring inflation down over time.”</p><p>At the same time, Brainard stopped short of explicitly endorsing the idea that the Fed would likely need to raise rates higher than previously projected in September. That’s what Chair Jerome Powell and other officials have said this month.</p><p>Asked if she agreed with the chair’s expectation, Brainard stressed the importance of Fed policy being data dependent.</p><p>“Even for just the December meeting’s decision, we still will have additional data in hand by the time that we will -- members of the committee will be submitting their new projections. And of course, those projections are going to reflect that data, both on inflation as well as on the labor market activity more generally,” she said. “But it is the case that we do have additional work to do on raising rates.”</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37a914d734b43a247afac724dfa23589\" tg-width=\"698\" tg-height=\"392\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Investors expect Fed officials to opt for a half-point hike at their Dec. 13-14 meeting following Powell’s signal on Nov. 2 that such a downshift was in the offing, and a subsequent Labor Department report last week which showed increases in US consumer prices may be starting to moderate.</p><p>That report showed inflation cooled by more than expected in October, with the consumer price index rising 7.7% from a year earlier versus 8.2% the month before.</p><p>But officials have stressed that they need to see a series of lower monthly readings to have confidence that price pressures are heading back down to levels consistent with the central bank’s 2% target, which is defined in terms of the Commerce Department’s price index for personal consumption expenditures. October data for that measure will be published later this month.</p><p>“The most recent CPI inflation print suggests that maybe the core PCE measure that we really focus on might be also showing a little bit of a reduction,” Brainard said. “That would be welcome. I think the inflation data was reassuring, preliminarily, just in terms of showing a slowing in categories that I had been anticipating.”</p><p>The Fed has two congressional mandates: price stability and maximum employment. In recent weeks, Democratic senators including Sherrod Brown, who plays a key role overseeing the central bank as head of the Senate Banking Committee, have written letters to Powell expressing concerns that the fight against inflation will lead to unnecessary job losses.</p><p>“Obviously risks are going to be more two-sided as we get into more restrictive -- or further into restrictive -- territory.

The most aggressive tightening campaign since the 1980s has included rate hikes of three-quarters of a percentage point at each of the last four policy meetings, triple the usual move.“There are likely to be lags, and it’s going to take some time for that cumulative tightening to flow through,” Brainard said. “So, it makes sense to move to a more deliberate and a more data-dependent pace as we continue to make sure that there’s restraint that will bring inflation down over time.”At the same time, Brainard stopped short of explicitly endorsing the idea that the Fed would likely need to raise rates higher than previously projected in September. That’s what Chair Jerome Powell and other officials have said this month.Asked if she agreed with the chair’s expectation, Brainard stressed the importance of Fed policy being data dependent.“Even for just the December meeting’s decision, we still will have additional data in hand by the time that we will -- members of the committee will be submitting their new projections. And of course, those projections are going to reflect that data, both on inflation as well as on the labor market activity more generally,” she said. “But it is the case that we do have additional work to do on raising rates.”Investors expect Fed officials to opt for a half-point hike at their Dec. 13-14 meeting following Powell’s signal on Nov. 2 that such a downshift was in the offing, and a subsequent Labor Department report last week which showed increases in US consumer prices may be starting to moderate.That report showed inflation cooled by more than expected in October, with the consumer price index rising 7.7% from a year earlier versus 8.2% the month before.But officials have stressed that they need to see a series of lower monthly readings to have confidence that price pressures are heading back down to levels consistent with the central bank’s 2% target, which is defined in terms of the Commerce Department’s price index for personal consumption expenditures. October data for that measure will be published later this month.“The most recent CPI inflation print suggests that maybe the core PCE measure that we really focus on might be also showing a little bit of a reduction,” Brainard said. “That would be welcome. I think the inflation data was reassuring, preliminarily, just in terms of showing a slowing in categories that I had been anticipating.”The Fed has two congressional mandates: price stability and maximum employment. In recent weeks, Democratic senators including Sherrod Brown, who plays a key role overseeing the central bank as head of the Senate Banking Committee, have written letters to Powell expressing concerns that the fight against inflation will lead to unnecessary job losses.“Obviously risks are going to be more two-sided as we get into more restrictive -- or further into restrictive -- territory. So, we’ll be balancing those considerations, but we are very much focused on achieving our 2% inflation goal,” Brainard said.“It’s very important to keep inflation expectations anchored around that goal. And so, we’ll just have to make judgments like that as we go forward: What is the appropriate level of restraint on a sustained basis that is going to be necessary to make that balance?”The vice chair also pointed to data showing the pace of wage increases has begun to moderate.“I think it’s important to remember that wages have actually not kept up with inflation. Real incomes have actually, on aggregate, fallen, even though wages are higher than what would be consistent with a run rate associated with 2% inflation,” she said. “So they really are in the middle there, and they are coming down.”Officials in September forecast rates would reach 4.6% in 2023, but Powell on Nov. 2 suggested projections for the so-called terminal rate would probably move higher when they are next updated at the December meeting.Investors now see rates peaking just below 5% by the middle of next year.“By moving at a more deliberate pace, we’ll actually be able to see how that cumulative tightening is playing out,” Brainard said. “Exactly what that path looks like I think is really hard to say right now, but I think it will be very much better at balancing those risks by virtue of being able to take on board more data.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":81,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9919474034,"gmtCreate":1663855392928,"gmtModify":1676537350330,"author":{"id":"4108629412181280","authorId":"4108629412181280","name":"tplian","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7ecc0302d7a6f2cd28a1199a63498645","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice one","listText":"Nice one","text":"Nice one","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9919474034","repostId":"1104523508","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":26,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9980679635,"gmtCreate":1665725171928,"gmtModify":1676537656037,"author":{"id":"4108629412181280","authorId":"4108629412181280","name":"tplian","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7ecc0302d7a6f2cd28a1199a63498645","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9980679635","repostId":"2275006628","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2275006628","pubTimestamp":1665720058,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2275006628?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-10-14 12:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: The Safest Port In The Storm","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2275006628","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryApple's fully integrated model allows it to ensure the highest quality products with the best","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>Summary</h2><ul><li>Apple&#39;s fully integrated model allows it to ensure the highest quality products with the best features at premium prices.</li><li>Apple is the best AAA rated high quality company to hide in a bear market giving you the safety net of a blue chip with moderate long-term growth.</li><li>Apple&#39;s brand loyalty and stickiness is priceless.</li><li>Apple generates a ton of cash and returns huge amounts to shareholders.</li><li>The Apple 14&#39;s Pro versions with higher ASPs will drive growth.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f6188bafe265bad1c31915b22ed93319\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>South_agency/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images</span></p><h2>The Safest Port in the Storm</h2><p>A hawkish Fed has raised interest rates five times this year, including a historic and unprecedented three hikes of 0.75% or 75 basis points each in their last three meetings. In a bid to curb raging inflation, ranging from the core 6% to the headline 8%, the Fed has clearly shown no mercy to investors, taking the Fed Funds rate from 0 to 0.25% to 3 to 3.25%. And it&#39;s not done yet - the markets areexpecting two further hikes of 75 and 50 basis points in the next two meetings left in 2022.</p><p>Interest rate hikes didn&#39;t spare anyone - the S&amp;P 500 has dropped 25% from its all time high of 4,819 to 3,597. The NASDAQ COMP.IND and market leaders &#34;The FAAMNNG&#39;s&#34; Meta (Formerly Facebook)(NASDAQ:META), Alphabet, (NASDAQ:GOOG), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) suffered worse.</p><p>Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) not surprisingly, turned out to be the safest port in the storm that engulfed the markets this year, dropping &#34;only&#34; 24%, even edging the S&amp;P 500, <b>which is a huge sign of stability and faith in the company.</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7897610b12f272c531b6b0fc95fffd6d\" tg-width=\"535\" tg-height=\"164\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>The Drop in the Tech Bellwethers - FAAMNNG&#39;s (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p>A flight to quality is common during corrections and bear markets and having seen a few! I&#39;ve usually resorted to consumer staples and other defensives. This time around I&#39;ve bought Apple on dips and <b>believe it would be best line of defense and then some</b>, as we work our way out of this bear market.</p><h2>Q4-2022 and Q1-2023 Revenue Outlook Remains Solid</h2><p>Long time Apple analyst Gene Muster re-iterated his faith in Apple claiming that lead times are higher at this stage for the iPhone 14, than it was for the iPhone 13.</p><p>There was some consternation about Apple ordering an extra 6 million units for the I-Phone 14 and then walking it back. The short term drama aside, it&#39;s still on its initial target of selling more than 90Mn phones in Q1-2023 (Oct-Dec 2022). Clearly, there&#39;s no lack of demand and as initial reports have shown, the larger and more expensive iPhone 14s are selling better than the smaller base models, whose ASP&#39;s (Average Selling Prices) will help Apple&#39;s Sep and Dec quarter revenues.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a66301ddad3ba28d76bc55f9f72911d4\" tg-width=\"510\" tg-height=\"230\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Apple&#39;s Revenue Segments (Apple, Fountainhead)</span></p><p>I expect iPhones to grow 5% in Q4-22 and 4% in Q1-22, its biggest quarter of the year. Importantly, this is the first post Covid Dec quarter and single digit growth is still impressive on the back of 33% revenue growth in 2021.</p><p>The drop in worldwide PC shipments also doesn&#39;t seem to have hurt Apple. According to IDC, Mac shipments grew 40% to 10,060 in Q3-22. However, more conservatively, I&#39;m estimating that Mac will grow 8% in Q4-22 and 2% in Q1-23.</p><p>As has been the trend in the past several years, wearables, (I-Watch) and Services will carry the lion&#39;s share of growth at 16-12%, and 15-11% in each quarter, respectively.</p><h2>The Bull Case</h2><p><b>Apple&#39;s Biggest Moat - It is a fully integrated company.</b> It designs its own system on chips (SOC), the hardware and architecture of all its devices and the operating system that goes in them. Unlike the &#34;Wintel&#34; combination of Microsoft Windows and Intel, which was produced as a commodity and sold under several brands of PC&#39;s worldwide - Dell, Lenovo, HP, Asus to name a few, Apple never stepped out of its walled garden. It valued and provided the best user experience, put in all the best features and charged 30-35% higher than the competition. The same thing repeated itself in mobile phones - The I-Phone comes with the IOS, while the Android is free to be used by anyone else in the industry. And guess what, there was a time when Apple was making 90% of the profits in the cell phone business! This is a fantastic business model and I don&#39;t see any immediate threats to it in the near future.</p><p><b>Growth from Wearables and Services</b> - The I Watch, with 30% of market share of wearables, is in a class by itself, with the next two competitors in the low and mid teens. Initially dismissed as a fad, it has grown to a must have in the Apple eco system and with its foray into health, it will remain a major catalyst for growth for Apple.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d60baec40171cb065732ebb3713cca0e\" tg-width=\"437\" tg-height=\"61\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Apple&#39;s wearables and Services Segments (Apple, Fountainhead)</span></p><p>Around 2015, when I-Phones were close to 70% of Apple&#39;s revenues, there was a lot of hand wringing about how difficult it would be to move the needle of a $234Bn behemoth. The general refrain was that I-Phones were saturated, we had seen the best of Apple and it was relegated to a low to mid teens PE ratio and some even dismissed it as a hardware company! Well, seven years later the Wearables segment, which consists mainly of the I-watch has grown at an astounding 23% per year to $42Bn!</p><p>Similarly, Services has grown at 22% to $80Bn and has the best margins. The $2.99 you pay each month for extra storage brings in a lot of green for Apple!</p><p><b>Brand Loyalty</b> - You can&#39;t cut the cord. Apple&#39;s brand value and stickiness is priceless. I started with a Fitbit and once I was gifted an I-Watch there&#39;s been no turning back. The user experience is excellent across all its products and <b>addictive.</b> I was at a dinner with some friends and someone had forgotten their I-Phone; a friend gave her a Samsung Galaxy to make a call. She was worse than a deer in headlights! Absolutely clueless and handed it back with a shudder! You can&#39;t pry an I-Phone out a dead person&#39;s fingers!</p><p><b>Rewarding its shareholders</b> - Apple throws up gobs of cash, $104Bn of operating cash in FY 2021 alone, of which $14Bn was returned as dividends and $86Bn used for buybacks. With net margins of 21-22% of almost $400Bn in sales, and growing at 6%, Apple should continue to generate about a $100Bn of cash each year.</p><p><b>Expanding its Eco System - Apple Pay</b> - Remember the derision and ridicule Apple Pay was subjected to when it was in in its infancy? Well, according to Statista, Apple Pay now has a <b>92%</b> overall share in overall US mobile wallet transactions. <b>The point here is that Apple has the luxury, the cash and the resilience to wait and keep expanding its eco system.</b> Something, smaller and weaker competitors don&#39;t.</p><p><b>Very disciplined with its cash</b> - Apple doesn&#39;t waste money chasing expensive acquisitions, in FY 2020 it spend only $1.5Bn on strategic investments. These are strictly within its areas of competence. It spent a hefty $22Bn in R&amp;D in 2021, which is essential and lifeblood of tech companies.</p><h2>Valuation and Summary</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/039194dd18b6352532a347ca59387569\" tg-width=\"394\" tg-height=\"162\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Apple, Fountainhead</span></p><p>I&#39;m not recommending Apple as a growth story, the next 4 years are expected to grow at single digits, even as wearables and services hold up that mantle for years to come. And sure, there could be the A/R segment or autos in the future, which could well be the subject of another article and discussed at length.</p><p>At this juncture, the investment objective is two fold -- <b>one is clearly to own a AAA rated blue chip</b>, which has so far outperformed the broader, supposedly more hedged S&amp;P and other tech stalwarts and will be a solid bastion holding up to the Fed&#39;s whack a mole, whack anything strategy.</p><p><b>The second is the valuation.</b> Clearly, the 0.25% Fed Funds rate and the (ERP) Equity Risk Premium of 4.5% put equity valuations way beyond its long term averages. At its peak of 4,819 in Nov 2021, the S&amp;P 500 was about 24X, 2021 earnings of $200. With the Fed Funds rate rising and approaching 4.25% <b>that valuation and multiple was not tenable.It had to fall.</b> Now at 3,570 the S&amp;P 500 is valued at a more sedate 16.4 PE.</p><p>The same rationale applies to Apple.

In a bid to curb raging inflation, ranging from the core 6% to the headline 8%, the Fed has clearly shown no mercy to investors, taking the Fed Funds rate from 0 to 0.25% to 3 to 3.25%. And it's not done yet - the markets areexpecting two further hikes of 75 and 50 basis points in the next two meetings left in 2022.Interest rate hikes didn't spare anyone - the S&P 500 has dropped 25% from its all time high of 4,819 to 3,597. The NASDAQ COMP.IND and market leaders \"The FAAMNNG's\" Meta (Formerly Facebook)(NASDAQ:META), Alphabet, (NASDAQ:GOOG), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) suffered worse.Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) not surprisingly, turned out to be the safest port in the storm that engulfed the markets this year, dropping \"only\" 24%, even edging the S&P 500, which is a huge sign of stability and faith in the company.The Drop in the Tech Bellwethers - FAAMNNG's (Seeking Alpha)A flight to quality is common during corrections and bear markets and having seen a few! I've usually resorted to consumer staples and other defensives. This time around I've bought Apple on dips and believe it would be best line of defense and then some, as we work our way out of this bear market.Q4-2022 and Q1-2023 Revenue Outlook Remains SolidLong time Apple analyst Gene Muster re-iterated his faith in Apple claiming that lead times are higher at this stage for the iPhone 14, than it was for the iPhone 13.There was some consternation about Apple ordering an extra 6 million units for the I-Phone 14 and then walking it back. The short term drama aside, it's still on its initial target of selling more than 90Mn phones in Q1-2023 (Oct-Dec 2022). Clearly, there's no lack of demand and as initial reports have shown, the larger and more expensive iPhone 14s are selling better than the smaller base models, whose ASP's (Average Selling Prices) will help Apple's Sep and Dec quarter revenues.Apple's Revenue Segments (Apple, Fountainhead)I expect iPhones to grow 5% in Q4-22 and 4% in Q1-22, its biggest quarter of the year. Importantly, this is the first post Covid Dec quarter and single digit growth is still impressive on the back of 33% revenue growth in 2021.The drop in worldwide PC shipments also doesn't seem to have hurt Apple. According to IDC, Mac shipments grew 40% to 10,060 in Q3-22. However, more conservatively, I'm estimating that Mac will grow 8% in Q4-22 and 2% in Q1-23.As has been the trend in the past several years, wearables, (I-Watch) and Services will carry the lion's share of growth at 16-12%, and 15-11% in each quarter, respectively.The Bull CaseApple's Biggest Moat - It is a fully integrated company. It designs its own system on chips (SOC), the hardware and architecture of all its devices and the operating system that goes in them. Unlike the \"Wintel\" combination of Microsoft Windows and Intel, which was produced as a commodity and sold under several brands of PC's worldwide - Dell, Lenovo, HP, Asus to name a few, Apple never stepped out of its walled garden. It valued and provided the best user experience, put in all the best features and charged 30-35% higher than the competition. The same thing repeated itself in mobile phones - The I-Phone comes with the IOS, while the Android is free to be used by anyone else in the industry. And guess what, there was a time when Apple was making 90% of the profits in the cell phone business! This is a fantastic business model and I don't see any immediate threats to it in the near future.Growth from Wearables and Services - The I Watch, with 30% of market share of wearables, is in a class by itself, with the next two competitors in the low and mid teens. Initially dismissed as a fad, it has grown to a must have in the Apple eco system and with its foray into health, it will remain a major catalyst for growth for Apple.Apple's wearables and Services Segments (Apple, Fountainhead)Around 2015, when I-Phones were close to 70% of Apple's revenues, there was a lot of hand wringing about how difficult it would be to move the needle of a $234Bn behemoth. The general refrain was that I-Phones were saturated, we had seen the best of Apple and it was relegated to a low to mid teens PE ratio and some even dismissed it as a hardware company! Well, seven years later the Wearables segment, which consists mainly of the I-watch has grown at an astounding 23% per year to $42Bn!Similarly, Services has grown at 22% to $80Bn and has the best margins. The $2.99 you pay each month for extra storage brings in a lot of green for Apple!Brand Loyalty - You can't cut the cord. Apple's brand value and stickiness is priceless. I started with a Fitbit and once I was gifted an I-Watch there's been no turning back. The user experience is excellent across all its products and addictive. I was at a dinner with some friends and someone had forgotten their I-Phone; a friend gave her a Samsung Galaxy to make a call. She was worse than a deer in headlights! Absolutely clueless and handed it back with a shudder! You can't pry an I-Phone out a dead person's fingers!Rewarding its shareholders - Apple throws up gobs of cash, $104Bn of operating cash in FY 2021 alone, of which $14Bn was returned as dividends and $86Bn used for buybacks. With net margins of 21-22% of almost $400Bn in sales, and growing at 6%, Apple should continue to generate about a $100Bn of cash each year.Expanding its Eco System - Apple Pay - Remember the derision and ridicule Apple Pay was subjected to when it was in in its infancy? Well, according to Statista, Apple Pay now has a 92% overall share in overall US mobile wallet transactions. The point here is that Apple has the luxury, the cash and the resilience to wait and keep expanding its eco system. Something, smaller and weaker competitors don't.Very disciplined with its cash - Apple doesn't waste money chasing expensive acquisitions, in FY 2020 it spend only $1.5Bn on strategic investments. These are strictly within its areas of competence. It spent a hefty $22Bn in R&D in 2021, which is essential and lifeblood of tech companies.Valuation and SummaryApple, FountainheadI'm not recommending Apple as a growth story, the next 4 years are expected to grow at single digits, even as wearables and services hold up that mantle for years to come. And sure, there could be the A/R segment or autos in the future, which could well be the subject of another article and discussed at length.At this juncture, the investment objective is two fold -- one is clearly to own a AAA rated blue chip, which has so far outperformed the broader, supposedly more hedged S&P and other tech stalwarts and will be a solid bastion holding up to the Fed's whack a mole, whack anything strategy.The second is the valuation. Clearly, the 0.25% Fed Funds rate and the (ERP) Equity Risk Premium of 4.5% put equity valuations way beyond its long term averages. At its peak of 4,819 in Nov 2021, the S&P 500 was about 24X, 2021 earnings of $200. With the Fed Funds rate rising and approaching 4.25% that valuation and multiple was not tenable.It had to fall. Now at 3,570 the S&P 500 is valued at a more sedate 16.4 PE.The same rationale applies to Apple. It's multiple too has come down from 29 to 21X forward earnings. As interest rates stop rising and inflation gets under control in 2023 the multiples will expand. As the blue chip generating a ton of cash, fully integrated, best brand in the world, with all its moats and competitive advantages, Apple will go back to a much higher multiple and valuation.I own Apple and recommend buying it.This article is written by Fountainhead for reference only.

With sub-4% rates for US Treasuries, 10-year high-grade corporates at 4.6%, and medium-grades at 5.23%, the premium for government paper appears to be in place.

Furthermore, food prices are much more dependent on the global decline in land use and availability.</p><p>As usual, the high-quality fixed-income markets are more advanced than the equity markets.</p><p>Did Friday’s stock market decline signal a bottom? Possibly, but it did not completely fit historical patterns. While the Dow Jones Industrial Average established a new low for the year, the S&amp;P 500 was the third-lowest, and the Nasdaq the fifth-lowest. Considering the latter two indices had greater gains, the fall of the DJIA is less impressive. While there was an increase in transaction volume from a low base, it was not impressive. There are no signs of mass capitulation at public or institutional levels.</p><h3>Outlook</h3><p>There are four possible paths forward. In order of time, magnitude and pain, they are:</p><p>A bear market without a recession has happened a few times and is largely a price correction. We are closing in on that.</p><p>A cyclical recession is usually driven by commodity prices or other supply issues. This is satisfactorily addressed in a few years.</p><p>A structural recession due to systemic imbalances of power and leadership requires major changes, which drastically alter society. Depending on the level of violence, it can take many years.</p><p>Stagflation, where a portion of the society/economy sacrifices involuntarily to the other until there is a counter-revolutionary force. There is usually a period of mismanagement and legal turmoil. We have experienced two periods like this in the past beginning in the 1930s and 1970s.</p><p>Each alternative is possible. Prudent investors should make up their own minds as to what is probable for their beneficiaries and careers. (To be discussed later.)</p><p>Before choosing your expected future, there is a new threat and lesson which surfaced this week.</p><h3>London’s Future Lesson and Threat</h3><p>This week, the brand-new Prime Minister announced a very expensive plan of pump-priming and tax reduction for individuals. The reaction of the London investment market and currency was shock and fear. The former US Secretary of Treasury and former President of Harvard summed up the view of many on both sides of the Atlantic that these were “the worst possible policies”.</p><p>There are two lessons for the US from these policies which march down the same road as the current US administration.</p><p>The lesson for US and other investors is that the value of one’s currency shapes the willingness of foreigners to invest in the currency. The independent Bank of England, their central bank, raised interest rates by 100 basis points earlier in the week before this announcement. On Friday, there was a call for the BOE to immediately raise rates another 100 basis points.</p><p>This controversy is important for the US with its highly rated currency, which somewhat ironically had the second-biggest gain for the week, according to The Wall Street Journal. (The only currency that had a bigger gain was the Russian ruble, +4.54% vs.+2.57%.)</p><p>Investors, traders, and customers look at the currency behind the source of earnings in today’s currency markets. We are all familiar with the “Petrodollar”, which is based on the earnings derived from petroleum production and sale. To some degree, the tag of Petrodollar has also been placed on the currencies of Russia and Canada, among others, in addition to various Middle Eastern countries.</p><p>While it hasn’t been popularly done before, I believe we may now see a financial pound label placed on the British currency. A major part of its earnings come from its transaction markets and multinationals headquartered in the UK with export earnings, as well as contributions from my wife at her favorite shopping location.</p><p>We should watch what happens in the UK as an indication of a possible trend for the US.</p><h3>Investing Equity Reserves</h3><p>Last week’s blog suggested a tactical plan to reinvest reserves coming from equity investments, or from cash flows to be invested in equities.</p><p>Investors will be benefit from dollar-cost averaging, no matter which frequency is used. They will also benefit from the selection of one of the four alternative futures outlined above.</p><p>The most important long-term decision regarding the ultimate value of the account is to not get too comfortable with cash reserves while interest rates earn single-digit returns. This will be costly, as stock markets go up as rates come down, resulting in some principal loss. More important, time not invested in equities at low prices will be lost. For taxable investors, the difference in taxes on interest and gains can be meaningful, particularly in well-constructed estates.</p><p>In making choices where time horizon is appropriate for your investments, I expect the last two scenarios to be the most likely, based on today’s information. For example, Walmart (WMT) is not building inventory and staff for the holiday season. Their shoppers, for the most part, are modest-income, savvy buyers. If Walmart is not expecting a good holiday season for itself, one should question how quickly inflation will drop below 5%.</p><p>Typically, a well-known name disappears from the marketplace due to severe financial trouble. None has so far, but you might see a rescue merger or court action.</p><p>I have no inside information, but I am concerned that reported earnings and, more importantly, values are overstated for the current economy, making market valuations questionable. One such possible company is Credit Suisse (CS). The pundits are quoting it as selling for almost 20% of book value! I am sure this is not a singular situation.</p><p>Please share your views.</p></body></html>","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>If Not The Bottom, Then What?</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\">\nIf Not The Bottom, Then What?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-26 23:17 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4543053-if-not-bottom-then-what><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryLeading central bank interest rates, set by to fight inflation, are attempting to peak in the near future.With sub-4% rates for US Treasuries, 10-year high-grade corporates at 4.6%, and medium-...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4543053-if-not-bottom-then-what\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite",".DJI":"道琼斯",".SPX":"S&P 500 Index"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4543053-if-not-bottom-then-what","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1154262778","content_text":"SummaryLeading central bank interest rates, set by to fight inflation, are attempting to peak in the near future.With sub-4% rates for US Treasuries, 10-year high-grade corporates at 4.6%, and medium-grades at 5.23%, the premium for government paper appears to be in place.

We are closing in on that.A cyclical recession is usually driven by commodity prices or other supply issues. This is satisfactorily addressed in a few years.A structural recession due to systemic imbalances of power and leadership requires major changes, which drastically alter society. Depending on the level of violence, it can take many years.Stagflation, where a portion of the society/economy sacrifices involuntarily to the other until there is a counter-revolutionary force. There is usually a period of mismanagement and legal turmoil. We have experienced two periods like this in the past beginning in the 1930s and 1970s.Each alternative is possible. Prudent investors should make up their own minds as to what is probable for their beneficiaries and careers. (To be discussed later.)Before choosing your expected future, there is a new threat and lesson which surfaced this week.London’s Future Lesson and ThreatThis week, the brand-new Prime Minister announced a very expensive plan of pump-priming and tax reduction for individuals. The reaction of the London investment market and currency was shock and fear. The former US Secretary of Treasury and former President of Harvard summed up the view of many on both sides of the Atlantic that these were “the worst possible policies”.There are two lessons for the US from these policies which march down the same road as the current US administration.The lesson for US and other investors is that the value of one’s currency shapes the willingness of foreigners to invest in the currency. The independent Bank of England, their central bank, raised interest rates by 100 basis points earlier in the week before this announcement. On Friday, there was a call for the BOE to immediately raise rates another 100 basis points.This controversy is important for the US with its highly rated currency, which somewhat ironically had the second-biggest gain for the week, according to The Wall Street Journal. (The only currency that had a bigger gain was the Russian ruble, +4.54% vs.+2.57%.)Investors, traders, and customers look at the currency behind the source of earnings in today’s currency markets. We are all familiar with the “Petrodollar”, which is based on the earnings derived from petroleum production and sale. To some degree, the tag of Petrodollar has also been placed on the currencies of Russia and Canada, among others, in addition to various Middle Eastern countries.While it hasn’t been popularly done before, I believe we may now see a financial pound label placed on the British currency. A major part of its earnings come from its transaction markets and multinationals headquartered in the UK with export earnings, as well as contributions from my wife at her favorite shopping location.We should watch what happens in the UK as an indication of a possible trend for the US.Investing Equity ReservesLast week’s blog suggested a tactical plan to reinvest reserves coming from equity investments, or from cash flows to be invested in equities.Investors will be benefit from dollar-cost averaging, no matter which frequency is used. They will also benefit from the selection of one of the four alternative futures outlined above.The most important long-term decision regarding the ultimate value of the account is to not get too comfortable with cash reserves while interest rates earn single-digit returns. This will be costly, as stock markets go up as rates come down, resulting in some principal loss. More important, time not invested in equities at low prices will be lost. For taxable investors, the difference in taxes on interest and gains can be meaningful, particularly in well-constructed estates.In making choices where time horizon is appropriate for your investments, I expect the last two scenarios to be the most likely, based on today’s information. For example, Walmart (WMT) is not building inventory and staff for the holiday season. Their shoppers, for the most part, are modest-income, savvy buyers. If Walmart is not expecting a good holiday season for itself, one should question how quickly inflation will drop below 5%.Typically, a well-known name disappears from the marketplace due to severe financial trouble. None has so far, but you might see a rescue merger or court action.I have no inside information, but I am concerned that reported earnings and, more importantly, values are overstated for the current economy, making market valuations questionable. One such possible company is Credit Suisse (CS). The pundits are quoting it as selling for almost 20% of book value! I am sure this is not a singular situation.Please share your views.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":5,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9913800223,"gmtCreate":1663946489062,"gmtModify":1676537368850,"author":{"id":"4108629412181280","authorId":"4108629412181280","name":"tplian","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7ecc0302d7a6f2cd28a1199a63498645","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow the big short 2!","listText":"Wow the big short 2!","text":"Wow the big short 2!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9913800223","repostId":"1177261377","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1177261377","pubTimestamp":1663946501,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1177261377?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-09-23 23:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Case For The S&P 500 Dropping To 2,200","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1177261377","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryThe S&P 500 is at risk of heading much lower than many think.This is not hyperbole; it is bas","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>The S&amp;P 500 is at risk of heading much lower than many think.</li><li>This is not hyperbole; it is based on a combination of historical analysis and the realities of the current market climate.</li><li>While history doesn&#39;t repeat exactly, human nature has a way of making it &#34;rhyme&#34; with the past.</li><li>The technical condition of the broad stock market looks terrible on an intermediate-term basis.</li><li>There&#39;s always a chance for a &#34;save&#34; - e.g., by the Fed - but inflation completely changes the calculus.</li></ul><p>Remember back in late March of 2020?

Because while any investment or index can rise in price at any time, the intermediate-term risk attached to nearly any market segment, theme, industry, or sector right now is high. Historically high.</p><p>What do I see in this chart? The top section of graph (price pattern) and the price percent oscillator (PPO) momentum indicator in the bottom section of the chart shows at least three important warning signs for those who are counting on a &#34;quick fix&#34; to the current stock market malaise.</p><p><b>That Stubborn Trendline</b></p><p>Since Jan. 4 of this year (the second trading day of 2022), the S&amp;P 500, and most of the global stock market, has been in a clear downward trend. That&#39;s the black line shown toward the top of the chart. Think of this line as marking the rite of passage if a new bull market is going to start anytime soon. The bulls have had three cracks at it - in April, August, and earlier this month. In all three cases, the result was, as we technicians say, &#34;failure.&#34; The S&amp;P 500&#39;s price failed to cross above and stay above that downward trend.</p><p>Frankly, breaking above that downtrend line is a pretty low bar for hopeful bullish stock investors right now. It would take a convincing, sustainable move toward the 4,300 area to negate all of the downward pressure that stocks have experienced this year. And that is still more than 10% from the S&amp;P 500&#39;s all-time high level around 4,800.</p><p><b>Those Darn Red Arrows</b></p><p>A more detailed version of what you just read above is to see how many false rallies we&#39;ve had during this eight-month downtrend for stocks. Every red arrow I drew into the chart marks a moment where bullish investors (and Wall Street firm cheerleaders, who need bull markets to keep their revenues flowing) might have felt that &#34;the bottom was in.&#34;</p><p>Well, there are 12 red arrows on that chart, and one orange arrow at the far right, as the recent market malaise sorts itself out. That&#39;s a lot of failure, and lends strong evidence to my belief that the most likely intermediate direction for the S&amp;P 500 is down - a lot.</p><p><b>Watch Out for the Cross</b></p><p>I&#39;ll spare you a full dissertation on the PPO, except to tell you that in 42 years of charting, I&#39;ve seen and tried a lot of different technical indicators. The PPO is my personal favorite, and the longer the time frame you look (e.g., charts of weekly prices v. daily, hourly, etc.), the more I have come to regard it as a market &#34;truth teller.&#34;</p><p>What the PPO on the S&amp;P 500 tells me now is that we are close to the weekly indicator crossing over to the downside. In English, that means decidedly negative price momentum. So, while shorter-term PPO time frames have already crossed over, this is the one that might just take us from all of those red arrows (rallies that fail) to something more serious, and something more emotional for investors on the way down.</p><p><b>Historical Evidence: The Dot-Com Era</b></p><p>At this point, you might be thinking the same thing many investors tell me when I proclaim that 2,200 could be the ultimate destination for the S&amp;P 500 in this bear cycle: &#34;No way - really?!&#34; Here&#39;s some history to either remind you or inform you of what happens when the stock market goes from an era of excessive speculation to increasing concern, and eventually to emotional chaos.</p><p>The S&amp;P 500 lost about half of its value from March 2000 to March 2003. Here&#39;s what that looked like.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9dc0e2b19c0fdb9c7a513fddf091eff0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"401\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>S&amp;P 500: Dot-Com Bubble (Ycharts.com)</p><p>However, as with the current market environment in 2022, it was not as simple as a 50% &#34;flash crash.&#34; It was more like the proverbial boiling frog analogy. It took the form of a series of sharp drops and hopeful rallies. However, as has been the case in 2022, the rallies didn&#39;t last - and so I kept having to add more of those red arrows to that first chart.</p><p>Here&#39;s what happened starting 11 months into the dot-com bubble. The S&amp;P 500 had fallen about 20%, then gained back enough to leave it down only 10% from its all-time high. Yes, the same thing happened this year. Coincidence or human nature?

As history would have it, that was the better of the first two bear markets of this century.</p><p><b>Historical Evidence: Global Financial Crisis</b></p><p>If you are keeping score at home, the dot-com bust meant that index fund investors had to double their money just to earn a zero return since the start of that time frame.

(Ycharts.com)</p><p>The net result, as the previous chart showed, was a 56% drop from the peak. If you had invested in an S&amp;P 500 Index fund on Jan. 4, 2022, and the 2007-09 down move repeated itself, your ultimate destination would be around 2,100. So, a move from S&amp;P 4,800 down to 2,200 in the coming year or two doesn&#39;t seem so unlikely.</p><p><b>Observations and Conclusions</b></p><p>Stock market analysis and evaluation of risk is never an all-or-nothing proposition. Instead, it is about evaluating as many possible scenarios as you can, including some realistic but generally unthinkable ones. After all, any investment can go up at any time. What distinguishes any security and any market climate from any another is the amount of major risk you are taking when you put that capital to work.</p><p>Here in the final third of 2022, and considering potential reward and risk through to 2023, my conclusion is that the level of market risk is currently at a historically high rate.</p><p><b>The Good News for Bulls (for Now)</b></p><p>That doesn&#39;t mean 2,200 is a given. It just means that the odds favor much more downside from here. Whether by way of the Fed&#39;s magic wand or some change of heart by a hoard of investors, the S&amp;P 500 could reverse course, get happy again, and move toward and above that all-time high and above 5,000. It could happen this year or next year. One never knows.</p><p>But if you are &#34;counting&#34; on that based on the fact that we have not had a sustained decline in the S&amp;P 500 in over 13 years, you are investing with rose-colored glasses. Inflation is the new wildcard, and was not an issue during the periods shown above.</p><p>Furthermore, the nature of market participants has changed, with piles of money flooded into index funds, and so much short-term trading by professional and retail investors alike. The odds of something breaking are high. And the S&amp;P 500&#39;s chart is telling us that. We just need to listen.</p><p><b>What to Do if I&#39;m Right</b></p><p>As my team and I will cover extensively and exclusively at Seeking Alpha in the days, weeks, and months ahead, there is a wide variety of investment weapons available to investors today. These allow them to not simply defend bear markets in stocks and bonds, but exploit them for profit. But before any investor can consider that step, they must first acknowledge that at the present time accounting for risk of major loss, so you can prevent it, should be every investor&#39;s top priority.</p><p><b>The Key: Mix Offense and Defense in Portfolios</b></p><p>I truly believe markets are at a critical crossroads. That means the tremendous wealth accumulated over the past decade is at risk, for those who don&#39;t know how to mix defense with their offense. The bottom line is that this autumn, we find ourselves in a market climate that is only rivaled by the last two times investors saw half of the index funds&#39; value disappear. Be careful out there, and learn how to navigate this new and, dare I say, historic climate.</p></body></html>","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 Case For The S&P 500 Dropping To 2,200</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 Case For The S&P 500 Dropping To 2,200\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-23 23:21 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4542347-the-s-and-p-500-set-to-drop><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryThe S&P 500 is at risk of heading much lower than many think.This is not hyperbole; it is based on a combination of historical analysis and the realities of the current market climate.While ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4542347-the-s-and-p-500-set-to-drop\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".SPX":"S&P 500 Index"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4542347-the-s-and-p-500-set-to-drop","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1177261377","content_text":"SummaryThe S&P 500 is at risk of heading much lower than many think.This is not hyperbole; it is based on a combination of historical analysis and the realities of the current market climate.While history doesn't repeat exactly, human nature has a way of making it \"rhyme\" with the past.The technical condition of the broad stock market looks terrible on an intermediate-term basis.There's always a chance for a \"save\" - e.g., by the Fed - but inflation completely changes the calculus.Remember back in late March of 2020?

Here's the S&P 500 from October 2007 through March of 2009.S&P 500: Global Financial Crisis (Ycharts.com)Once again, there was the initial drop, the \"it's only a flesh wound\" (with apologies to \"Monty Python\") phase, and then this from August 2008 through March 2009.S&P 500 GFC - just when you thought it was over! (Ycharts.com)The net result, as the previous chart showed, was a 56% drop from the peak. If you had invested in an S&P 500 Index fund on Jan. 4, 2022, and the 2007-09 down move repeated itself, your ultimate destination would be around 2,100. So, a move from S&P 4,800 down to 2,200 in the coming year or two doesn't seem so unlikely.Observations and ConclusionsStock market analysis and evaluation of risk is never an all-or-nothing proposition. Instead, it is about evaluating as many possible scenarios as you can, including some realistic but generally unthinkable ones. After all, any investment can go up at any time. What distinguishes any security and any market climate from any another is the amount of major risk you are taking when you put that capital to work.Here in the final third of 2022, and considering potential reward and risk through to 2023, my conclusion is that the level of market risk is currently at a historically high rate.The Good News for Bulls (for Now)That doesn't mean 2,200 is a given. It just means that the odds favor much more downside from here. Whether by way of the Fed's magic wand or some change of heart by a hoard of investors, the S&P 500 could reverse course, get happy again, and move toward and above that all-time high and above 5,000. It could happen this year or next year. One never knows.But if you are \"counting\" on that based on the fact that we have not had a sustained decline in the S&P 500 in over 13 years, you are investing with rose-colored glasses. Inflation is the new wildcard, and was not an issue during the periods shown above.Furthermore, the nature of market participants has changed, with piles of money flooded into index funds, and so much short-term trading by professional and retail investors alike. The odds of something breaking are high. And the S&P 500's chart is telling us that. We just need to listen.What to Do if I'm RightAs my team and I will cover extensively and exclusively at Seeking Alpha in the days, weeks, and months ahead, there is a wide variety of investment weapons available to investors today. These allow them to not simply defend bear markets in stocks and bonds, but exploit them for profit. But before any investor can consider that step, they must first acknowledge that at the present time accounting for risk of major loss, so you can prevent it, should be every investor's top priority.The Key: Mix Offense and Defense in PortfoliosI truly believe markets are at a critical crossroads. That means the tremendous wealth accumulated over the past decade is at risk, for those who don't know how to mix defense with their offense. The bottom line is that this autumn, we find ourselves in a market climate that is only rivaled by the last two times investors saw half of the index funds' value disappear. Be careful out there, and learn how to navigate this new and, dare I say, historic climate.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":9,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9961290511,"gmtCreate":1668966182634,"gmtModify":1676538132406,"author":{"id":"4108629412181280","authorId":"4108629412181280","name":"tplian","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7ecc0302d7a6f2cd28a1199a63498645","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9961290511","repostId":"2284785084","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2284785084","pubTimestamp":1668905591,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2284785084?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-11-20 08:53","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alphabet Vs.

While many stocks may have been excessively hyped during the massive rebound out of the pandemic-lows, others have been under pressure because of rising inflation, a higher cost of capital, bottlenecks among the supply chains, as well as headwinds caused by pandemic-related restrictions, geo-political tensions, and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Companies in the Information technology services industry could perform better from a yearly perspective but lately have been struggling to rebound, while others, such as the semiconductor and the solar industries, have recently been leading the sector.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/24926893763e4d5e2c2059c3a396961e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"102\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>finviz</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1f119d5f53fe3121bf55f9c893934749\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"98\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>finviz</p><p>The two selected companies are two global giants in their industry, with Alphabet (NASDAQ:NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) having nearly a monopoly in the online search field, as Google processes over 92% of online search volume worldwide, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a> (NASDAQ:NASDAQ:META) counting 3.71B monthly users in Q3 2022, among the company’s core products, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, or Messenger, up 4% Year-over-Year [YoY].</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/466ecae9b7a6150d62e4e702446ea1b7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"162\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using TIKR</p><p>While the two companies once were identified as a digital duopoly, because of their massive market share in global online advertising, more recently, companies such as Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN), Alibaba (NYSE:BABA), Tencent (OTCX:OTCPK:TCEHY), or ByteDance through their social media TikTok, have penetrated the market and contributed to the erosion of this duopoly.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0ba8cba90ad500702aed27aa4769d952\" tg-width=\"398\" tg-height=\"476\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from Insider Intelligence, Research and Markets, Company filings</p><p>The global IT Services market is projected to grow at a 9.5% Compound Annual Growth Rate [CAGR] through 2031, while the global digital advertising market is forecasted to grow even faster at a 13.9% CAGR, reaching a size of $1.79T through 2031. The sustained market growth is driven by the broader penetration of internet users, technological advancement, rising spending in digital advertising, and the expanding popularity of mobile phones and digital media across the world, while platforms such as in-app, mobile ads, connected TV or social media advertising are increasingly important vectors in the industry.</p><h2><b>An in-depth company comparison</b></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c3b292a512ca86202c0549254543bfb5\" tg-width=\"472\" tg-height=\"546\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>The financial comparison highlights the major relative strengths and weaknesses of the two giants. In terms of their Return on Invested Capital [ROIC], a very important metric I consider when pondering an investment decision, as a company must be able to consistently create value to be a sustainable investment, Alphabet seems to gradually increase its capital allocation efficiency over the past few years. Although Meta has been more efficient in the past, the metric has progressively dropped, until recently significantly falling under Alphabet’s level. The latter seems to have a more efficient core business, but Meta has seemingly more efficient cash management, observed in the relatively narrow spread between their ROIC and the Return on Capital Employed [ROCE], while Alphabet could significantly increase its capital allocation efficiency as the company reported a massive cash position of over $116B.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa03acf041d1be505b4a32558b182c46\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"315\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>Although Meta reports by far the higher gross margin, this metric’s growth is seemingly dropping from 21.94% CAGR in the past 5 years to 17.88% CAGR in the past 3 years. While Alphabet reported a lower actual value, the company saw this metric slightly increase from 19.38% CAGR to 20.72% CAGR, over the same time window. Meta’s main source of revenue began faltering as the widely popular video app TikTok massively increased its audience, and other companies increased their market share in the online advertising space, while Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) shift to a strict app tracking transparency privacy policy, requiring the user’s approval for apps to be able to track their data, had an estimated two-digit billion impact on Meta’s revenue. On the operational side, the companies have an even more divergent profile, as Alphabet demonstrated being capable of significantly increasing its operational profitability from 22.13% CAGR in the past 5 years, to 29.80% CAGR over the past 3 years, while Meta’s operating margin growth is decelerating from 11.96% CAGR to 7.03% CAGR over the same period. Meta is massively investing in the development of the Metaverse while rising doubts emerge concerning the company’s ability to reach its ambitious goals in a concept that only a few people understand, while at the same time the company struggles with a weakening advertising business.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8f1f88c88d16069afac3b3d995567a30\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"153\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>Meta reportedly has a more cash-rich business than the analyzed peer, while none of them is paying a dividend, both companies spend billions in share-repurchase programs. Alphabet announced its biggest share-buyback program of over $70B earlier this year, a major increase after the authorized buyback of $50B in 2021 and $25B in 2019. Meta has reportedly spent $91B to repurchase 377M stocks at an average price of $242, between 2017 and September 2022, a price that seems steep, considering that the actual share price is valued at -53% of that price. Meta also reports significantly higher EPS, while in those terms, Alphabet has had a less negative development over the most recent quarters and reported significantly higher growth over the past few years. Both companies are relying on debt for sustaining their business, increasing significantly their debt reliance since 2019, as the historically low-interest rates pushed many companies to consider more debt in their financing strategy. That said, both companies could repay the entirety of their debt exposure as shown in their net debt position and low leverage ratio.</p><h2>The stocks’ performance</h2><p>Considering both stocks’ performance in the past 5 years, GOOG reported a solid performance of 93.44%, while META performed significantly worse, losing 37.65% over the analyzed period. The most significant references show a mixed picture, with the S&amp;P 500 (SP500) returning approximately 53%, and the Nasdaq technology index, tracked by the Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) marked over 85% performance, while more industry-focused references, such as the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XLC\">Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund</a> (XLC) performed flat, while the Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) is the strongest outperformer of the analyzed references.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51b316e664d2e9457222c2ae8e80185d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"198\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using SeekingAlpha.com</p><p>While both stocks display periods of relative strength, GOOG reported massive resilience after every major drop, while META has significantly suffered after its All-Time-High [ATH] in September 2021, leading to massive value destruction for its investors, being priced at levels not seen since 2016. In the next section, I will show how the next few years are forecasted to play out for both companies and if the actual stock price may offer an interesting opportunity, while also assessing the possible risks in different scenarios.</p><h2>Valuation</h2><p>To determine the actual fair value for both company&#39;s stock prices, I rely on the following Discounted Cash Flow [DCF] model, which extends over a forecast period of 5 years with 3 different sets of assumptions ranging from a more conservative to a more optimistic scenario, based on the metrics determining the WACC and the terminal value. As forecasted by the street consensus, Alphabet is anticipated to generate a massive 17.27% Free Cash Flow [FCF] CAGR over the coming 5 years, with its operating and net profitability increasing at respectively 12.73% and 13.80% CAGR, while its revenue is projected to expand at solid 10.98%, above the expected growth in the relevant industries.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4f307c189819f83e89ac5301f675e985\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"395\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>The valuation takes into account a tighter monetary policy, which will undeniably be a reality in many economies worldwide in the coming years and lead to a higher weighted average cost of capital.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dfdac1fd157fda94ba58871ccb1c7b3f\" tg-width=\"573\" tg-height=\"599\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author</p><p>I compute my opinion in terms of likelihood for the three different scenarios, and I, therefore, consider the stock to be significantly undervalued with a weighted average price target with about 54% upside potential at $152.</p><p>Meta is forecasted to expand slower, with its sales growing at 9.20% CAGR over the next 5 years, and its operating and net profit margins are expected to grow between 8.5% and 8.9%, in terms of FCF the company is anticipated to substantially increase its metric, with 17.61% CAGR through 2026.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15cc9d6404157e698d23631783f3f4cd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"398\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>I then consider the same three scenarios affected by the company’s fundamentals and by the exogenous factors.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c566b27f98414ced096c76621fbf9c00\" tg-width=\"573\" tg-height=\"598\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author</p><p>Despite both stocks seemingly being undervalued, when considering the weighted average price target, the two modelizations suggest that GOOG may offer a higher expected return, while META’s expected performance is seen 50% higher than the latest closing price, or at about $167. Both modelizations emphasize the still substantial expected return, also in the less optimistic scenario.</p><p>Investors should consider that those forecasts are based on a relatively conservative assumption in terms of perpetual growth rates, higher discount rates, and the recent trend in increased interest rates, which reflects the actual situation and forecast possible scenarios. An inversion of this trend would change this perspective and value the company at a higher price.</p><h2>Outlook and Risk discussion</h2><p>With both companies having tremendous possibilities to expand their powerful product ecosystem, it’s quite difficult to estimate their relevant total addressable market [TAM], as both peers have shown to be able to significantly grow their business either organically or through strategic acquisitions. Alphabet and Meta own strong brands with Google ranked in the fourth position in Interbrand&#39;s Best Global Brands, while Facebook is ranked 17th. Google’s essentially monopolistic position in search engines, its gigantic database with no equal data-harvesting worldwide, and the dominant position in the smartphone industry with Android estimated to hold a share of 72% in the mobile operating systems’ market, while Apple is progressively gaining market shares, are only some of the company’s major strengths. Despite this, with approximately 80% of its revenue originating from income related to advertising, the company’s revenue model is highly exposed to demand fluctuations, and with a recession likely seen coming in major global economies, dropping consumer spending and cuts in expenses on advertising, will likely have a tangible negative effect on the company’s results. Privacy concerns and regulatory pressure, as well as data security, are also possible future threats to Alphabet, Meta, and their peers, as the biggest strength for the companies, the massive data collection, is the most damaging weakness for their users. Among Alphabet’s most promising opportunities I do like to underscore the company’s positioning in terms of Artificial Intelligence [AI], Machine Learning [ML], and cloud-based business, as well as its expansion into the wearable OS market, and the great diversification opportunities the company could access or create through its colossal financial strength.</p><p>Meta is building a strong product portfolio including WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Oculus, Workplace, Portal, and Calibra to diversify from Facebook and create expanded opportunities in strong secular trends. With over 45% of the world’s population using Facebook or its family products, the company holds an extremely powerful and irreplaceable position. But with approximately 98% of revenue originating from advertising, Meta is even more exposed to demand-driven fluctuations than Alphabet, and since the company is massively investing and focusing its resources on developing its visionary Metaverse, the diversification opportunities are, at least for the moment, seemingly more limited than Alphabet’s. Facebook has been losing popularity after facing backlash over its negligence in protecting the user’s privacy, while negative publicity, allegations of racial basis, or the platform’s inability to control the spread of fake and misleading information, may have cast a shadow on the company’s once brighter outlook. Despite this, Meta faces many opportunities in terms of possible monetization of its platforms through paid services such as news subscriptions, peer-to-peer marketplaces, online dating apps, e-wallets, or the development of other hardware devices, while its existing technologies could also be integrated or connected with a variety of other applications, such as e-commerce, gaming, or expanded into the digital creators&#39; space, or by offering remote-work solutions. In terms of future-oriented secular growth vectors, Meta has extensive expertise in AI and ML, which the company could use to penetrate markets such as the technologies used for autonomous vehicles, where other competitors like Google, Amazon, and Apple are already massively investing.</p><p>Alphabet is rated with a Strong Buy rating from Seeking Alpha’s Quant Rating since August 25, 2022, and holds the first two positions in the Interactive Media and Services industry through its two share classes.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b711fdd651560e12eb413b5c4321377\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"183\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>SeekingAlpha.com</p><p>Meta has instead been qualified as a Hold position since the end of 2021 and is ranked 22 out of 62 in the relevant industry. Both companies are without seen excelling in terms of profitability, while growth and valuation seem to be less favorable factors in the actual uncertain market environment, with Meta also significantly suffering from the negative momentum in its more recent price action.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c27a653d50c6e2a961374aeaa87c1171\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"183\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>SeekingAlpha.com</p><h2>The Verdict: Which stock is the better buy?</h2><p>The two analyzed companies are two global leaders in the technology services industry, with their respective strengths and weaknesses, but also offering inherent opportunities with their correlated risks. From an investor&#39;s point of view, it’s important to consider the company’s ability to create value for its shareholders, while minimizing the risks. Past performance is not a guarantee for future results, and despite GOOG overall performing significantly better than META in the past few years, the latter is seemingly offering great opportunities ahead, and my rather conservative modelization hints at the significant undervaluation of both stocks. Both companies have strong financials and report high profitability, but Alphabet is seemingly on a better path, as the company reported an overall better trend and is expected to optimize its profitability even further, while also owning a massive idling cash position that offers incredibly many options, and could even further increase the company’s already superior capital allocation efficiency. </p><p>Meta’s huge bet on the Metaverse may lead to great success, but it also bears a major risk, in times when the company’s great dependency on advertising spending is under pressure. While both companies’ Achilles heel is seemingly their dependency on spending in digital advertising, Meta is more reliant on it than Alphabet, and may also have shown less intention to diversify its revenue streams, when compared to its colossal peers. </p><p>I consider both companies as being a buy position for long-term oriented investors, but overall in this comparative analysis, I chose Alphabet as my favorite stock pick, for its preeminent opportunities and lower risk profile, while seemingly also offering the greater potential in its stock performance, when considering all three forecasted scenarios.</p></body></html>","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>Alphabet Vs.

Companies in the Information technology services industry could perform better from a yearly perspective but lately have been struggling to rebound, while others, such as the semiconductor and the solar industries, have recently been leading the sector.finvizfinvizThe two selected companies are two global giants in their industry, with Alphabet (NASDAQ:NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) having nearly a monopoly in the online search field, as Google processes over 92% of online search volume worldwide, and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:NASDAQ:META) counting 3.71B monthly users in Q3 2022, among the company’s core products, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, or Messenger, up 4% Year-over-Year [YoY].Author, using TIKRWhile the two companies once were identified as a digital duopoly, because of their massive market share in global online advertising, more recently, companies such as Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN), Alibaba (NYSE:BABA), Tencent (OTCX:OTCPK:TCEHY), or ByteDance through their social media TikTok, have penetrated the market and contributed to the erosion of this duopoly.Author, using data from Insider Intelligence, Research and Markets, Company filingsThe global IT Services market is projected to grow at a 9.5% Compound Annual Growth Rate [CAGR] through 2031, while the global digital advertising market is forecasted to grow even faster at a 13.9% CAGR, reaching a size of $1.79T through 2031. The sustained market growth is driven by the broader penetration of internet users, technological advancement, rising spending in digital advertising, and the expanding popularity of mobile phones and digital media across the world, while platforms such as in-app, mobile ads, connected TV or social media advertising are increasingly important vectors in the industry.An in-depth company comparisonAuthor, using data from S&P Capital IQThe financial comparison highlights the major relative strengths and weaknesses of the two giants. In terms of their Return on Invested Capital [ROIC], a very important metric I consider when pondering an investment decision, as a company must be able to consistently create value to be a sustainable investment, Alphabet seems to gradually increase its capital allocation efficiency over the past few years. Although Meta has been more efficient in the past, the metric has progressively dropped, until recently significantly falling under Alphabet’s level. The latter seems to have a more efficient core business, but Meta has seemingly more efficient cash management, observed in the relatively narrow spread between their ROIC and the Return on Capital Employed [ROCE], while Alphabet could significantly increase its capital allocation efficiency as the company reported a massive cash position of over $116B.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQAlthough Meta reports by far the higher gross margin, this metric’s growth is seemingly dropping from 21.94% CAGR in the past 5 years to 17.88% CAGR in the past 3 years. While Alphabet reported a lower actual value, the company saw this metric slightly increase from 19.38% CAGR to 20.72% CAGR, over the same time window. Meta’s main source of revenue began faltering as the widely popular video app TikTok massively increased its audience, and other companies increased their market share in the online advertising space, while Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) shift to a strict app tracking transparency privacy policy, requiring the user’s approval for apps to be able to track their data, had an estimated two-digit billion impact on Meta’s revenue. On the operational side, the companies have an even more divergent profile, as Alphabet demonstrated being capable of significantly increasing its operational profitability from 22.13% CAGR in the past 5 years, to 29.80% CAGR over the past 3 years, while Meta’s operating margin growth is decelerating from 11.96% CAGR to 7.03% CAGR over the same period. Meta is massively investing in the development of the Metaverse while rising doubts emerge concerning the company’s ability to reach its ambitious goals in a concept that only a few people understand, while at the same time the company struggles with a weakening advertising business.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQMeta reportedly has a more cash-rich business than the analyzed peer, while none of them is paying a dividend, both companies spend billions in share-repurchase programs. Alphabet announced its biggest share-buyback program of over $70B earlier this year, a major increase after the authorized buyback of $50B in 2021 and $25B in 2019. Meta has reportedly spent $91B to repurchase 377M stocks at an average price of $242, between 2017 and September 2022, a price that seems steep, considering that the actual share price is valued at -53% of that price. Meta also reports significantly higher EPS, while in those terms, Alphabet has had a less negative development over the most recent quarters and reported significantly higher growth over the past few years. Both companies are relying on debt for sustaining their business, increasing significantly their debt reliance since 2019, as the historically low-interest rates pushed many companies to consider more debt in their financing strategy. That said, both companies could repay the entirety of their debt exposure as shown in their net debt position and low leverage ratio.The stocks’ performanceConsidering both stocks’ performance in the past 5 years, GOOG reported a solid performance of 93.44%, while META performed significantly worse, losing 37.65% over the analyzed period. The most significant references show a mixed picture, with the S&P 500 (SP500) returning approximately 53%, and the Nasdaq technology index, tracked by the Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) marked over 85% performance, while more industry-focused references, such as the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLC) performed flat, while the Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) is the strongest outperformer of the analyzed references.Author, using SeekingAlpha.comWhile both stocks display periods of relative strength, GOOG reported massive resilience after every major drop, while META has significantly suffered after its All-Time-High [ATH] in September 2021, leading to massive value destruction for its investors, being priced at levels not seen since 2016. In the next section, I will show how the next few years are forecasted to play out for both companies and if the actual stock price may offer an interesting opportunity, while also assessing the possible risks in different scenarios.ValuationTo determine the actual fair value for both company's stock prices, I rely on the following Discounted Cash Flow [DCF] model, which extends over a forecast period of 5 years with 3 different sets of assumptions ranging from a more conservative to a more optimistic scenario, based on the metrics determining the WACC and the terminal value. As forecasted by the street consensus, Alphabet is anticipated to generate a massive 17.27% Free Cash Flow [FCF] CAGR over the coming 5 years, with its operating and net profitability increasing at respectively 12.73% and 13.80% CAGR, while its revenue is projected to expand at solid 10.98%, above the expected growth in the relevant industries.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQThe valuation takes into account a tighter monetary policy, which will undeniably be a reality in many economies worldwide in the coming years and lead to a higher weighted average cost of capital.AuthorI compute my opinion in terms of likelihood for the three different scenarios, and I, therefore, consider the stock to be significantly undervalued with a weighted average price target with about 54% upside potential at $152.Meta is forecasted to expand slower, with its sales growing at 9.20% CAGR over the next 5 years, and its operating and net profit margins are expected to grow between 8.5% and 8.9%, in terms of FCF the company is anticipated to substantially increase its metric, with 17.61% CAGR through 2026.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQI then consider the same three scenarios affected by the company’s fundamentals and by the exogenous factors.AuthorDespite both stocks seemingly being undervalued, when considering the weighted average price target, the two modelizations suggest that GOOG may offer a higher expected return, while META’s expected performance is seen 50% higher than the latest closing price, or at about $167. Both modelizations emphasize the still substantial expected return, also in the less optimistic scenario.Investors should consider that those forecasts are based on a relatively conservative assumption in terms of perpetual growth rates, higher discount rates, and the recent trend in increased interest rates, which reflects the actual situation and forecast possible scenarios. An inversion of this trend would change this perspective and value the company at a higher price.Outlook and Risk discussionWith both companies having tremendous possibilities to expand their powerful product ecosystem, it’s quite difficult to estimate their relevant total addressable market [TAM], as both peers have shown to be able to significantly grow their business either organically or through strategic acquisitions. Alphabet and Meta own strong brands with Google ranked in the fourth position in Interbrand's Best Global Brands, while Facebook is ranked 17th. Google’s essentially monopolistic position in search engines, its gigantic database with no equal data-harvesting worldwide, and the dominant position in the smartphone industry with Android estimated to hold a share of 72% in the mobile operating systems’ market, while Apple is progressively gaining market shares, are only some of the company’s major strengths. Despite this, with approximately 80% of its revenue originating from income related to advertising, the company’s revenue model is highly exposed to demand fluctuations, and with a recession likely seen coming in major global economies, dropping consumer spending and cuts in expenses on advertising, will likely have a tangible negative effect on the company’s results. Privacy concerns and regulatory pressure, as well as data security, are also possible future threats to Alphabet, Meta, and their peers, as the biggest strength for the companies, the massive data collection, is the most damaging weakness for their users. Among Alphabet’s most promising opportunities I do like to underscore the company’s positioning in terms of Artificial Intelligence [AI], Machine Learning [ML], and cloud-based business, as well as its expansion into the wearable OS market, and the great diversification opportunities the company could access or create through its colossal financial strength.Meta is building a strong product portfolio including WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Oculus, Workplace, Portal, and Calibra to diversify from Facebook and create expanded opportunities in strong secular trends. With over 45% of the world’s population using Facebook or its family products, the company holds an extremely powerful and irreplaceable position. But with approximately 98% of revenue originating from advertising, Meta is even more exposed to demand-driven fluctuations than Alphabet, and since the company is massively investing and focusing its resources on developing its visionary Metaverse, the diversification opportunities are, at least for the moment, seemingly more limited than Alphabet’s. Facebook has been losing popularity after facing backlash over its negligence in protecting the user’s privacy, while negative publicity, allegations of racial basis, or the platform’s inability to control the spread of fake and misleading information, may have cast a shadow on the company’s once brighter outlook. Despite this, Meta faces many opportunities in terms of possible monetization of its platforms through paid services such as news subscriptions, peer-to-peer marketplaces, online dating apps, e-wallets, or the development of other hardware devices, while its existing technologies could also be integrated or connected with a variety of other applications, such as e-commerce, gaming, or expanded into the digital creators' space, or by offering remote-work solutions. In terms of future-oriented secular growth vectors, Meta has extensive expertise in AI and ML, which the company could use to penetrate markets such as the technologies used for autonomous vehicles, where other competitors like Google, Amazon, and Apple are already massively investing.Alphabet is rated with a Strong Buy rating from Seeking Alpha’s Quant Rating since August 25, 2022, and holds the first two positions in the Interactive Media and Services industry through its two share classes.SeekingAlpha.comMeta has instead been qualified as a Hold position since the end of 2021 and is ranked 22 out of 62 in the relevant industry. Both companies are without seen excelling in terms of profitability, while growth and valuation seem to be less favorable factors in the actual uncertain market environment, with Meta also significantly suffering from the negative momentum in its more recent price action.SeekingAlpha.comThe Verdict: Which stock is the better buy?The two analyzed companies are two global leaders in the technology services industry, with their respective strengths and weaknesses, but also offering inherent opportunities with their correlated risks. From an investor's point of view, it’s important to consider the company’s ability to create value for its shareholders, while minimizing the risks. Past performance is not a guarantee for future results, and despite GOOG overall performing significantly better than META in the past few years, the latter is seemingly offering great opportunities ahead, and my rather conservative modelization hints at the significant undervaluation of both stocks. Both companies have strong financials and report high profitability, but Alphabet is seemingly on a better path, as the company reported an overall better trend and is expected to optimize its profitability even further, while also owning a massive idling cash position that offers incredibly many options, and could even further increase the company’s already superior capital allocation efficiency. Meta’s huge bet on the Metaverse may lead to great success, but it also bears a major risk, in times when the company’s great dependency on advertising spending is under pressure. While both companies’ Achilles heel is seemingly their dependency on spending in digital advertising, Meta is more reliant on it than Alphabet, and may also have shown less intention to diversify its revenue streams, when compared to its colossal peers. I consider both companies as being a buy position for long-term oriented investors, but overall in this comparative analysis, I chose Alphabet as my favorite stock pick, for its preeminent opportunities and lower risk profile, while seemingly also offering the greater potential in its stock performance, when considering all three forecasted scenarios.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":114,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9982141043,"gmtCreate":1667129754482,"gmtModify":1676537864914,"author":{"id":"4108629412181280","authorId":"4108629412181280","name":"tplian","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7ecc0302d7a6f2cd28a1199a63498645","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9982141043","repostId":"1195247398","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1195247398","pubTimestamp":1667095848,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1195247398?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-10-30 10:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon's AWS Vs.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average also posted a third-straight losing quarter, its first such time since 2015.At 269 days and counting, the benchmark S&P 500 is now in its longest correction, peak to trough, since March 2009, according to figures from Compound Advisors’ Charlie Bilello. The current 8-month bear market is the longest since 2007-2009’s downturn, with the average length of a bear market since 1929 standing at 14 months.A survey by the American Association of Individual Investors showed 60% of retail investors hold a bearish view of the stock market, the highest level since 2008 and the eighth most pessimistic reading in the 35 years the survey has been conducted.The Labor Department’s September employment data is set for release at 8:30 a.m. ET on Friday morning. Economists expect nonfarm payrolls rose by 250,000 last month, per consensus estimates from Bloomberg. If realized, the figure would mark an anticipated moderation for Federal Reserve policymakers trying to tamp down the labor market in their battle against inflation – but not enough for officials to scale back on their rate hiking plans.Strong labor market readings have stoked worries that Fed officials will stay on path with aggressive rate hikes and over tighten monetary conditions. And while strategists anticipated the impact of rate hikes showing up in employment data, figures have so far surprised to the upside. On Thursday, Labor Department data showed initial jobless claims slid to 193,000, the lowest since April, for the week that ended on Sept. 24.Analysts at Bank of America said in a Friday note they expect strong payroll growth to continue, with indicators of labor market activity — like initial jobless claims and the Conference Board's labor market differential — that feed into the institutions projections remaining red-hot since August’s report.“Investors are hunting for confirmation bias that inflation is abating but strong jobs data has dashed all hopes,” Thornburg Investment Management portfolio manager Sean Sun said in emailed commentary.“While there are some signs of disinflation out there, the strong jobless claims data is as if the Fed is trying to step on the brakes of a car that still hurtling downhill at a steep angle,” Sun added. “Investors shouldn't ask if the Fed will pivot, but rather how deep into the recession we'll find ourselves before they finally act.”Other labor market readings due out through Friday include the ADP’s employment report, which measures levels of non-farm private employment, the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), and the Challenger Job-Cut report, which offers information on the number of tracked corporate layoffs by industry and region.Elsewhere in economic releases on the docket this week are ISM manufacturing and services data, construction spending figures, and a reading on total vehicle sales.The corporate calendar will be light before a new earnings season gets underway, but some notable names on the docket include Constellation Brands (STZ), Levi Strauss (LEVI), and McCormick (MKC).After a brutal September — worse for the Dow than even September 2008 — some Wall Street optimists look ahead to October, which based on seasonal trends has been dubbed a “bear-market killer” due to historically strong returns, especially in midterm election years.

However, they have also been over-optimistic based on earnings estimates over the past 25 years.</li><li>We highlight why investors need to be patient for the market to determine the directional bias from here.</li></ul><h2>The Market Is Cautious Heading Into The FOMC&#39;s Decision Week</h2><p>The market heads into the Fed&#39;s blackout period before its highly anticipated December FOMC meeting pressor on December 14, as Fed Chair Jerome Powell updates the committee&#39;s median terminal rate and its revised dot plot moving ahead.</p><p>With November&#39;s CPI reading preceding Powell&#39;s press conference on December 13, the FOMC will have an excellent opportunity to look into November&#39;s inflation reading. As such, the market&#39;s buying momentum has stalled decisively as the market awaits the Fed&#39;s rate decision, as the recent recovery has likely already priced in a 50 bps hike in December.</p><p>Despite that, Fed watchers reflect an outside chance of a 75 bps hike (23% probability as of November 6). As such, there remains a slim possibility of a post-CPI rally if the inflation readings are discernibly lower than anticipated.</p><h2>November&#39;s CPI Print Could Still Be A Significant Hurdle</h2><p>However, the Cleveland Fed&#39;s most updated forecasts suggest that the upcoming inflation print (including core) could remain stubbornly high.</p><p>Notably, it predicts a CPI print of 7.40% YoY, with core inflation (less food and energy) rising by 6.26%. Therefore, the forecasts suggest a lower print than October&#39;s headline figure of 7.7%.</p><p>However, core inflation is expected to remain sticky, in line with October&#39;s 6.3% metric. As such, we assess that investors need to be realistic about a Fed pivot in H1&#39;23, even as it could be heading into a data dependency phase in 2023. We believe a critical factor to watch is how the 5Y breakeven inflation could trend from here.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b9f0484f953730315c50d9609897f4a3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"340\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>5Y Breakeven inflation rate chart (weekly) (TradingView)</p><p>Our analysis of the current 5Y breakeven inflation rate suggests it has been making higher lows since September. However, the general trend since its March highs remains firmly in the downtrend, although the market doesn&#39;t expect the inflation rate to fall below 2% over the next five years.</p><p>Hence, we believe the market is cautiously positioned into next week&#39;s pivotal releases, which could shape the market&#39;s near-term directional bias.</p><p>Moreover, we believe the underlying market indicators have been pointing to a pullback over the past two weeks. Hence, the market seems ready to force a steeper selloff as it awaits the CPI reading and the Fed&#39;s decision.</p><h2>Market Likely Priced In A 50 Bps Hike</h2><p>While we don&#39;t think investors should short-sell the S&amp;P 500 (SP500) (SPX), we urge investors to be cautious about adding at the current levels. The Dow Jones (DJI) has also rallied into a bull trap, which doesn&#39;t augur well for its near-term buying upside. The NASDAQ (NDX) continues to lag behind the SPX and the DJI as investors poured into less expensive value stocks at the market&#39;s October lows.</p><p>However, we remain constructive over those lows. The risks of a recession in 2023 have been well-established and likely anticipated by the market. Edward Yardeni also highlighted in a recent commentary:</p><blockquote>If the economy is in for a hard landing next year, it would be the most widely anticipated recession ever. The Philly Fed&#39;s survey of forecasters, the WSJ&#39;s survey of economists, and even the Misery Index that reflects the sum of unemployment and inflation rates point to a recession. … But we think this time is different. There&#39;s been no broad-based credit crunch, liquidity is ample, consumer incomes are growing, multi-family housing remains strong, capital spending does too, and fiscal stimulus has been gushing. Real GDP shouldn&#39;t contract in such an environment but grow, slowly but surely. We&#39;re in the soft-landing camp. - Yardeni Research November 29 briefing</blockquote><p>Still, investors should not ignore the significant risks of the Fed remaining in the restrictive zone for longer than expected, which could result in a significant recession.</p><p>The Fed&#39;s James Bullard, a voting member on the 2022 FOMC, also suggested that investors shouldn&#39;t understate the Fed&#39;s hawkish stance.

However, as the market parses the Fed's revised dot plot, it's also configured for a pullback.Investors need to be cautious as the Dow Jones and S&P 500 have rallied into critical resistance zones. We also gleaned that the S&P 500's valuation is well-balanced at best.Wall Street analysts seem to remain optimistic that the market could escape a deeper recession. However, they have also been over-optimistic based on earnings estimates over the past 25 years.We highlight why investors need to be patient for the market to determine the directional bias from here.The Market Is Cautious Heading Into The FOMC's Decision WeekThe market heads into the Fed's blackout period before its highly anticipated December FOMC meeting pressor on December 14, as Fed Chair Jerome Powell updates the committee's median terminal rate and its revised dot plot moving ahead.With November's CPI reading preceding Powell's press conference on December 13, the FOMC will have an excellent opportunity to look into November's inflation reading. As such, the market's buying momentum has stalled decisively as the market awaits the Fed's rate decision, as the recent recovery has likely already priced in a 50 bps hike in December.Despite that, Fed watchers reflect an outside chance of a 75 bps hike (23% probability as of November 6). As such, there remains a slim possibility of a post-CPI rally if the inflation readings are discernibly lower than anticipated.November's CPI Print Could Still Be A Significant HurdleHowever, the Cleveland Fed's most updated forecasts suggest that the upcoming inflation print (including core) could remain stubbornly high.Notably, it predicts a CPI print of 7.40% YoY, with core inflation (less food and energy) rising by 6.26%. Therefore, the forecasts suggest a lower print than October's headline figure of 7.7%.However, core inflation is expected to remain sticky, in line with October's 6.3% metric. As such, we assess that investors need to be realistic about a Fed pivot in H1'23, even as it could be heading into a data dependency phase in 2023. We believe a critical factor to watch is how the 5Y breakeven inflation could trend from here.5Y Breakeven inflation rate chart (weekly) (TradingView)Our analysis of the current 5Y breakeven inflation rate suggests it has been making higher lows since September. However, the general trend since its March highs remains firmly in the downtrend, although the market doesn't expect the inflation rate to fall below 2% over the next five years.Hence, we believe the market is cautiously positioned into next week's pivotal releases, which could shape the market's near-term directional bias.Moreover, we believe the underlying market indicators have been pointing to a pullback over the past two weeks. Hence, the market seems ready to force a steeper selloff as it awaits the CPI reading and the Fed's decision.Market Likely Priced In A 50 Bps HikeWhile we don't think investors should short-sell the S&P 500 (SP500) (SPX), we urge investors to be cautious about adding at the current levels. The Dow Jones (DJI) has also rallied into a bull trap, which doesn't augur well for its near-term buying upside. The NASDAQ (NDX) continues to lag behind the SPX and the DJI as investors poured into less expensive value stocks at the market's October lows.However, we remain constructive over those lows. The risks of a recession in 2023 have been well-established and likely anticipated by the market. Edward Yardeni also highlighted in a recent commentary:If the economy is in for a hard landing next year, it would be the most widely anticipated recession ever. The Philly Fed's survey of forecasters, the WSJ's survey of economists, and even the Misery Index that reflects the sum of unemployment and inflation rates point to a recession. … But we think this time is different. There's been no broad-based credit crunch, liquidity is ample, consumer incomes are growing, multi-family housing remains strong, capital spending does too, and fiscal stimulus has been gushing. Real GDP shouldn't contract in such an environment but grow, slowly but surely. We're in the soft-landing camp. - Yardeni Research November 29 briefingStill, investors should not ignore the significant risks of the Fed remaining in the restrictive zone for longer than expected, which could result in a significant recession.The Fed's James Bullard, a voting member on the 2022 FOMC, also suggested that investors shouldn't understate the Fed's hawkish stance. He reiterated his stance (before the blackout period) that \"the Fed needs to at least reach the bottom of the 5% to 7% range to meet policymakers' goal of being restrictive enough to stamp out inflation near a four-decade high.\"Earnings Estimates Going Back UpIndustry analysts have started to revise their earnings estimates for the S&P 500 upward for 2023, seeing a more constructive environment in H2'23. Accordingly, the revised forward estimates suggest that the SPX last traded at an NTM P/E of 17.1x.Relative to the SPX's 10Y average of 17.7x, we postulate that its valuation is relatively well-balanced but with near-term risks skewed to the downside at the current levels.Despite that, we gleaned that analysts have already downgraded their earnings estimates for the SPX through November, aligning with the weaker operating performances in Q3 and relatively weak guidance for Q4.Still, FactSet data from 1997 to 2021 suggests that analysts overestimated SPX's earnings projections by an average of 2% (excluding outlier years). Hence, we believe investors must apply an appropriate margin of safety in their modeling.Therefore, we believe it's appropriate for investors to be cautious at these levels as they wait for a resolution from the pivotal data points next week, given the remarkable recovery from October lows.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":399,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9966919408,"gmtCreate":1669375754604,"gmtModify":1676538190831,"author":{"id":"4108629412181280","authorId":"4108629412181280","name":"tplian","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7ecc0302d7a6f2cd28a1199a63498645","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"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/9966919408","repostId":"1179538212","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1179538212","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":1669367438,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1179538212?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-11-25 17:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Hot Chinese ADRs Slid in Premarket Trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1179538212","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Hot chinese ADRs slid in premarket trading. Alibaba, JD.com and Baidu fell 2%; NIO fell 1.7%; XPeng ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Hot chinese ADRs slid in premarket trading. Alibaba, JD.com and Baidu fell 2%; NIO fell 1.7%; XPeng fell 3%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba6152a501a04514474a5de14127c267\" tg-width=\"387\" tg-height=\"728\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
