      Why does liquidity decide stock market?

      Last week, we mentioned that one of the important factors supporting the continued rise of the US stock assets in 2024 is the nearly $6 trillion idle cash reserves (cash assets). Currently, this portion of funds is enjoying a money market yield of over 5%. US Treasury yield curveIf the expectation of a Fed rate cut begins, the short-term benchmark yield of this portion will decrease, and investors may start reallocating this huge amount of funds to other asset categories. The performance of the current interest rate curve indicates that this situation has already begun to emerge.The change in financial liquidity is also a key force influencing the trend of the US stock market, and may even determine whether the Fed needs to cut rates early. This should not be overlooked, especially since w

      How Option Could Help You Buy Game Giants' Dip?

      $TENCENT(00700)$ and $NetEase(NTES)$ both experienced a significant decline on Friday, which would have been an opportunity for me in the past. However, given the current overall negative sentiment surrounding Chinese concept stocks, I'm not very inclined to take action without first assessing the severity of the situation.If it were something on the level of NetEase splitting from $Activision Blizzard(ATVI)$ or Tencent imposing restrictions on minors' gaming time, then it wouldn't be a big deal and I would consider buying. But this time:The document will fundamentally affect the company's revenue. Under constant bandwidth and channel costs, the high-profit game

      FedEx's plunge means weaker demand, or competition?

      $FedEx(FDX)$ plunged nearly 10% after hours due to its Q2 earnings report ending on November 30th, which fell short of expectations and lowered guidance for the next quarter. As investors look to the performance of logistics companies to gauge the global macroeconomic environment, particularly the level of commercial activity, this could also become an important indicator.The company's downward revision also suggests that consumer spending during the year-end holiday period (from Thanksgiving to Christmas and New Year) may not be as strong as anticipated. However, does the company itself encounter urgent issues that need to be addressed?ImageInvestment Highlights1. The company's poor performance is attributed to insufficient demand. Not only did th

      What a plunge means to Nike?

      $Nike(NKE)$ plummeted over 11% in after-hours trading on December 21st due to disappointing performance in its FQ2 financial report ending in November. Weak performance in North America dragged down overall revenue and profit margins, casting a shadow of consumer malaise and causing a loss of confidence among investors.The company also lowered its guidance for the second half of the fiscal year, with revenue growth of only 1%, lower than the previously indicated mid-point (approximately 4-6%) and below market expectations of 3.8% growth.Q2 Earnings ReviewQ2 revenue was $13.39 billion, a mere 1% increase, falling short of the market's expected $13.46 billion.

      Why is Google Powerful alone?

      Alphabet, the parent company of $Alphabet(GOOG)$ , saw its stock rise by over 3% in early trading on Wednesday, and despite a general market downturn at closing, it still ended up with a 1.24% increase. This was mainly due to a leak from Information, indicating that the company is planning to restructure its advertising sales department to make more efficient use of automation technology.Google's advertising business has increasingly relied on machine learning this year, allowing customers to purchase ads on its search engine, YouTube, and other platforms.Why is this move worth noting? Because in the 2023 layoffs, Google only cut 6% of its staff. In contrast, $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ and

      Are Airlines good investment choice in 2024?

      Although many air travelers may not have noticed, airfare prices have become cheaper in 2023, with the average round-trip ticket price expected to be $254, lower than the $315 in 2019.However, the three major US airlines - $Delta Air Lines(DAL)$ $United Continental(UAL)$ $American Airlines(AAL)$ - have had decent stock returns this year, with a 10-25% return despite not outperforming the market, amidst significant oil price fluctuations.Despite the recovery underway, a net profit margin of 2.7% is far lower than what most other industry investors would find acceptable. This means that for every passenger transported, airlines are only left with $5.45, roughly enough
