But if you know what to expect, signs of rising prices aren't always kryptonite to your portfolio. And that's if you should worry at all.</p>\n<p>It turns out S&amp;P 500 sectors follow a fairly predictable playbook in times of rising prices. If you're worried about inflation, S&amp;P 500 sectors like energy, materials and real estate provide some safety, analysts say. \"Investors have used the threat of a spike in inflation, and now the confirmation from ... surprise strength in headline and core Consumer Price Index readings, to take profits in stocks,\" said Sam Stovall, strategist at CFRA.</p>\n<p>But knowing the facts goes a long way in dealing with any potential market shocks, including inflation.</p>\n<h3>Know The Reality In Inflation Numbers</h3>\n<p>It's important to understand what inflation numbers are truly telling you before you panic. It seems like many S&amp;P 500 investors calmed down after digging into inflation numbers more closely. The world's most popular index jumped more than 1.2% Thursday, making up the bulk of Wednesday's 2% freak-out sell-off.</p>\n<p>At first glance, inflation numbers looked scary. The 4.2% jump in headline inflation and 3% rise in core inflation was much more than anyone thought. Core inflation hasn't jumped that fast on a year-over-year basis since 2008, Stovall says.</p>\n<p>But a big piece of the rise is due to the 21% jump in annualized used vehicle prices, says Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research. And that jump is due to new vehicle shortages arising from a shortage in semiconductors. Backing out this short-term disruption, headline inflation was a much more normal 3.6%, he says. Meanwhile, the unusual 49.6% jump in April gasoline prices added to the distortion.</p>\n<p>The inflation number \"just doesn't hold up to scrutiny as a warning bell about inflation,\" Colas said.</p>\n<h3>Understand How The S&amp;P 500 Reacts To Inflation</h3>\n<p>Out-of-control inflation is widely feared. But times of lingering 5%-plus annual inflation are rare. Only twice since 1928 has U.S. inflation lingered: 1941 through 1951 and 1969 to 1982, Colas found.</p>\n<p>Were these periods devastating for the S&amp;P 500? Hardly. The S&amp;P 500 jumped 310% from 1941 to 1951, that's 121.1% adjusted for inflation, Colas found. Even in the 1969-to-1982 period, seen as a terrible time for inflation, the S&amp;P 500 actually rose 176%. Yes, that's a loss of 11.6% adjusted for inflation, but it's hardly catastrophic especially for those who enjoyed the 1980s bull.</p>\n<p>Inflation itself doesn't steer the S&amp;P 500. The reason for inflation matters more. Prices rose in the 1940s for \"good reasons\" like an post-war boom, Colas said. But in the 1970s, energy price hikes were largely a tax on the economy.</p>\n<p>\"Markets are volatile because they're not sure which sort of inflation we have at present, or what (if anything) the Federal Reserve may do to bring inflation down,\" Colas said. \"That's enough uncertainty to create the volatility we're seeing, but not enough to say equities will necessarily underperform inflation in the years to come.\"</p>\n<h3>Look To The 1970s For S&amp;P 500 Clues (But Not Gospel)</h3>\n<p>S&amp;P 500 investors like to look back at the 1970s for a playbook for inflation. And it wasn't pretty, but it's not as devastating as many think either. And there were actually places to make big gains.</p>\n<p>During the 1970s, the S&amp;P 500 posted an average monthly loss of 0.3%, Stovall says. But over the entire period, the S&amp;P 500 rose 17.2%. That's just 1.6% annualized, or a fraction of the S&amp;P 500's typical 10% yearly return. S&amp;P sectors, though, hold clues or how markets can shift, Stovall says.</p>\n<p>It turns out even during the \"bad\" inflation of the 1970s, only <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors fell on an average monthly basis. That sole loser was financials, which lost 0.8% monthly on average during the 1970s.</p>\n<p>So where where the places to be? S&amp;P 50 energy, materials and real estate all posted average monthly gains of 1% or higher during the 1970s, Stovall says. Materials company <b>Nucor</b> gained 2,830% during the 1970s. That's more than any current S&amp;P 500 members did at the time. Meanwhile, energy firms <b>Schlumberger</b> and <b>Baker Hughes</b> jumped 1,032% and 856%, respectively, during the 1970s.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Sector</th>\n   <th>Average monthly return during the 1970s</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>1.6%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Materials</td>\n   <td>1.4</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Real Estate</td>\n   <td>1.2</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Communications Services</td>\n   <td>0.9</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Information Technology</td>\n   <td>0.7</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Industrials</td>\n   <td>0.6</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Consumer Discretionary</td>\n   <td>0.3</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Utilities</td>\n   <td>0.1</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Health Care</td>\n   <td>0.1</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Consumer Staples</td>\n   <td>0</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Financials</td>\n   <td>-0.8</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>S&amp;P 500</td>\n   <td>-0.3</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<h5>Source: CFRA</h5>\n<h3>Don't Overlook S&amp;P 500 Commodity Strength</h3>\n<p>Digging deeper still, Stovall found robust gains in many commodities markets, even in the inflation-plagued 1970s.</p>\n<p>Gold and precious metals companies in the S&amp;P 500 posted average monthly gains of 3.9% in the 1970s. And aluminum companies rose 2% monthly followed by oil and gas drilling at 1.8%. And to some degree, investors are already nibbling on these areas. The Energy Select Sector SPDR is up 36.7% this year. That's the top run of any S&amp;P 500 sector. Meanwhile, the Materials Select Sector SPDR is up 20% year to date.</p>\n<p>Know, too, simply owning the S&amp;P 500 may not offer great exposure to areas that held up to inflation before. These sectors hold small weights in the S&amp;P 500. Energy holds just a 2.9% weight in the S&amp;P 500. Meanwhile, materials account for 2.9% and real estate 2.5%. ETFs can fill in the gaps.</p>\n<p>ETFs and exchange-traded notes, too, can offer inflation protection. The $60 billion in assets SPDR Gold Trust moves with the price of gold. The $3 billion in assets United States Oil Fund tracks the price of crude oil. And the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EEME\">iShares</a> TIPS Bond ETF tracks U.S. Treasuries, adjusted for inflation.</p>\n<p>But just know inflation, alone, doesn't determine S&amp;P 500 returns. \"Inflation is just <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> input into equity prices and returns, and on its own it explains very little about how stocks will do over the longer term,\" Colas says.</p>\n<h3>Top S&amp;P 500 Stocks In The 1970s</h3>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Company</th>\n   <th>Symbol</th>\n   <th>70's % ch.</th>\n   <th>Stock YTD % ch.</th>\n   <th>Sector</th>\n   <th>Composite Rating</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Nucor</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>2,830.3%</td>\n   <td>89.5%</td>\n   <td>Materials</td>\n   <td>99</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Schlumberger</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>1,031.7%</td>\n   <td>45.5%</td>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>72</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Baker Hughes</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>856.4%</td>\n   <td>16.8%</td>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>78</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Archer Daniels Midland</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>742.5%</td>\n   <td>33.2%</td>\n   <td>Consumer Staples</td>\n   <td>90</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Teleflex</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>597.3%</td>\n   <td>-4.7%</td>\n   <td>Health Care</td>\n   <td>45</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>General Dynamics</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>445.0%</td>\n   <td>28.5%</td>\n   <td>Industrials</td>\n   <td>65</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Boeing</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>440.0%</td>\n   <td>4.0%</td>\n   <td>Industrials</td>\n   <td>35</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HFC\">HollyFrontier</a></td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>427.3%</td>\n   <td>31.1%</td>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>42</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Halliburton</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>417.8%</td>\n   <td>18.4%</td>\n   <td>Energy</td>\n   <td>63</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Tyler Technologies</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td>347.3%</td>\n   <td>-11.3%</td>\n   <td>Information Technology</td>\n   <td>45</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<h5>Sources: IBD, S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence</h5>","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>Afraid Of Inflation?

But if you know what to expect, signs of rising prices aren't always kryptonite to your portfolio. And that's if you should worry at all.\nIt turns out S&P 500 sectors follow a fairly predictable playbook in times of rising prices. If you're worried about inflation, S&P 500 sectors like energy, materials and real estate provide some safety, analysts say. \"Investors have used the threat of a spike in inflation, and now the confirmation from ... surprise strength in headline and core Consumer Price Index readings, to take profits in stocks,\" said Sam Stovall, strategist at CFRA.\nBut knowing the facts goes a long way in dealing with any potential market shocks, including inflation.\nKnow The Reality In Inflation Numbers\nIt's important to understand what inflation numbers are truly telling you before you panic. It seems like many S&P 500 investors calmed down after digging into inflation numbers more closely. The world's most popular index jumped more than 1.2% Thursday, making up the bulk of Wednesday's 2% freak-out sell-off.\nAt first glance, inflation numbers looked scary. The 4.2% jump in headline inflation and 3% rise in core inflation was much more than anyone thought. Core inflation hasn't jumped that fast on a year-over-year basis since 2008, Stovall says.\nBut a big piece of the rise is due to the 21% jump in annualized used vehicle prices, says Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research. And that jump is due to new vehicle shortages arising from a shortage in semiconductors. Backing out this short-term disruption, headline inflation was a much more normal 3.6%, he says. Meanwhile, the unusual 49.6% jump in April gasoline prices added to the distortion.\nThe inflation number \"just doesn't hold up to scrutiny as a warning bell about inflation,\" Colas said.\nUnderstand How The S&P 500 Reacts To Inflation\nOut-of-control inflation is widely feared. But times of lingering 5%-plus annual inflation are rare. Only twice since 1928 has U.S. inflation lingered: 1941 through 1951 and 1969 to 1982, Colas found.\nWere these periods devastating for the S&P 500? Hardly. The S&P 500 jumped 310% from 1941 to 1951, that's 121.1% adjusted for inflation, Colas found. Even in the 1969-to-1982 period, seen as a terrible time for inflation, the S&P 500 actually rose 176%. Yes, that's a loss of 11.6% adjusted for inflation, but it's hardly catastrophic especially for those who enjoyed the 1980s bull.\nInflation itself doesn't steer the S&P 500. The reason for inflation matters more. Prices rose in the 1940s for \"good reasons\" like an post-war boom, Colas said. But in the 1970s, energy price hikes were largely a tax on the economy.\n\"Markets are volatile because they're not sure which sort of inflation we have at present, or what (if anything) the Federal Reserve may do to bring inflation down,\" Colas said. \"That's enough uncertainty to create the volatility we're seeing, but not enough to say equities will necessarily underperform inflation in the years to come.\"\nLook To The 1970s For S&P 500 Clues (But Not Gospel)\nS&P 500 investors like to look back at the 1970s for a playbook for inflation. And it wasn't pretty, but it's not as devastating as many think either. And there were actually places to make big gains.\nDuring the 1970s, the S&P 500 posted an average monthly loss of 0.3%, Stovall says. But over the entire period, the S&P 500 rose 17.2%. That's just 1.6% annualized, or a fraction of the S&P 500's typical 10% yearly return. S&P sectors, though, hold clues or how markets can shift, Stovall says.\nIt turns out even during the \"bad\" inflation of the 1970s, only one of the 11 S&P 500 sectors fell on an average monthly basis. That sole loser was financials, which lost 0.8% monthly on average during the 1970s.\nSo where where the places to be? S&P 50 energy, materials and real estate all posted average monthly gains of 1% or higher during the 1970s, Stovall says. Materials company Nucor gained 2,830% during the 1970s. That's more than any current S&P 500 members did at the time. Meanwhile, energy firms Schlumberger and Baker Hughes jumped 1,032% and 856%, respectively, during the 1970s.\n\n\n\nSector\nAverage monthly return during the 1970s\n\n\n\n\nEnergy\n1.6%\n\n\nMaterials\n1.4\n\n\nReal Estate\n1.2\n\n\nCommunications Services\n0.9\n\n\nInformation Technology\n0.7\n\n\nIndustrials\n0.6\n\n\nConsumer Discretionary\n0.3\n\n\nUtilities\n0.1\n\n\nHealth Care\n0.1\n\n\nConsumer Staples\n0\n\n\nFinancials\n-0.8\n\n\nS&P 500\n-0.3\n\n\n\nSource: CFRA\nDon't Overlook S&P 500 Commodity Strength\nDigging deeper still, Stovall found robust gains in many commodities markets, even in the inflation-plagued 1970s.\nGold and precious metals companies in the S&P 500 posted average monthly gains of 3.9% in the 1970s. And aluminum companies rose 2% monthly followed by oil and gas drilling at 1.8%. And to some degree, investors are already nibbling on these areas. The Energy Select Sector SPDR is up 36.7% this year. That's the top run of any S&P 500 sector. Meanwhile, the Materials Select Sector SPDR is up 20% year to date.\nKnow, too, simply owning the S&P 500 may not offer great exposure to areas that held up to inflation before.

That's compared to 41% of non-investors who say the same thing.\n\"Part of it may have to do with expectations,\" said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate. \"Newer investors may be trying to score big gains or time the market and the odds are not for long-term success with those endeavors.\"\nAt the same time, he said, retail investors have seen hedge funds and other sophisticated or wealthy investors treated differently, such as getting early access to initial public offerings and better trade execution.\n\"Newer investors are seeing those things, and that can sow the seeds of doubt about the integrity or fairness of the markets,\" McBride said.\nThe poll of 2,525 U.S. adults was taken in late February, about a month after a runup in so-called meme stocks, including Gamestop— whose share price peaked at $347 on Jan. 27 after trading at about $31 two weeks earlier. The surge was attributed to an army of Reddit investors forcing hedge funds that were banking on the stock dropping — known as short-selling — to instead buy shares at a higher price.\nAmid the frenzy, Robinhood, the popular trading application used by individual investors, restricted trades in Gamestop and some other stocks. The company was accused by its users and lawmakers of protecting hedge funds that were short sellers of those stocks. Robinhood said the move was made to meet regulatory requirements applying to financial reserves, not to benefit any particular group of investors.\nThe Bankrate survey also explored how individuals are investing now versus before the pandemic.\n“What we saw was that Reddit users were two times more likely to be investing more rather than less, compared to before the pandemic,” McBride said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":176,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":353465303,"gmtCreate":1616514002302,"gmtModify":1704795197467,"author":{"id":"3574488033301258","authorId":"3574488033301258","name":"Evan7749","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/20253c8c005ccf467a4e43ef6900795b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574488033301258","authorIdStr":"3574488033301258"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ops","listText":"Ops","text":"Ops","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/353465303","repostId":"2121484299","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2121484299","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616510163,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2121484299?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-23 22:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Ways GameStop Might Break Your Heart Tonight","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2121484299","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The video game retailer reports fresh financial results after Tuesday's market close.

A month later, GameStop's quarter-to-date comps had slipped to a 4.8% advance through the nine-week holiday period including the double-digit spike in November. January probably wasn't much better than December.</p>\n<p>There have been positive developments. Activist investors have stepped up their efforts, including the launch of a Strategic Planning and Capital Allocation Committee that could bear fruit over time. One can also argue that GameStop's emergence as a meme stock has helped drum up brand awareness, stirring up incremental sales. For now, sales and profit forecasts have been heading lower for the fourth quarter even as the stock has shot higher.</p>\n<h2>2. A bottom-line miss wouldn't be a surprise</h2>\n<p>We've already covered how Wall Street pros have been hosing down their profit expectations as the quarter played out, and that's not a good sign. Another problematic trend is that analysts have overestimated GameStop's bottom-line performance in two of the past three quarters.</p>\n<p>It's also worth noting that margins aren't likely to be very exciting. GameStop's model is pretty simple. New hardware has historically been its lowest-margin category. New software is a bit higher in the margin food chain. GameStop's beefiest markups have always been the secondhand games and gear that it buys from gamers for pennies on the dollar, but that's a fading niche in a digital future. With so much riding on low-margin PS5 sales in the fiscal fourth quarter, it wouldn't be a shock if it earns less than the $1.35 a share that the market's expecting.</p>\n<h2>3. Earlier rally catalysts are harder to find</h2>\n<p>It was the perfect storm for GameStop's initial rally in late January. There were more shares sold short than there were in the public float, setting up the mother of all short squeezes. Hedge funds were cocky. The bulls were the underdogs. It was a fuse waiting to be lit by young speculators with a sense for gaming nostalgia.</p>\n<p>But it's a different scene these days. Short interest has fallen to 20% of the outstanding share count. Hedge funds have been humbled. GameStop stock is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of this year's biggest winners. It has a wet fuse.</p>\n<p>The report will be rough. Comps will be positive only because the surge in e-commerce is being divided into fewer stores, with roughly 11% fewer units open than a year earlier. The bottom line isn't likely to be very exciting, either.

The struggling retailer with a buoyant share price reports its fiscal fourth-quarter results at the end of Tuesday's trading. The look back won't be pretty. The look ahead will have to be everything.\nThere's been a lot of buzz swirling since the mother of all short squeezes in late January. Just when it seemed as if the party was over, with the stock falling 90% from its frenzied highs and volume drying up, GameStop speculators got their second wind. Will this second rally gain momentum? There's a lot to prove heading into the telltale financial update. Let's go over some of the reasons the market reaction might not be pretty.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. The air is getting thin as the stock got thick\nA lot has happened since the last time GameStop discussed quarterly results. The stock closed at $16.95 moments before the video game retailer announced its fresh financials on Dec. 8. The market didn't like it, sending GameStop stock 19% lower the next day. The stock has been a 14-bagger since then through Monday's close.\nFundamentally speaking, some things have only gotten worse since early December, with the stock in the low teens. Three months ago, analysts thought GameStop would be earning $1.66 a share for the seasonally potent holiday quarter. The consensus now is a profit of $1.35 a share.\nGameStop was upbeat about how its fiscal fourth quarter ending in January was starting. Comps had risen an eye-popping 16.5% in November, fueled by big-ticket sales of new PS5 consoles. A month later, GameStop's quarter-to-date comps had slipped to a 4.8% advance through the nine-week holiday period including the double-digit spike in November.
