      Why Warren Buffett increase stakes in LNG?

      A few days ago, Berkshire Hathaway, led by Warren Buffett, increased its stake in $Occidental(OXY)$ Petroleum , raising its stakes to 25%.

It marked the largest monthly increase since July 2022 and significantly heightened market anticipation for the non-farm employment report to be released on Friday.

      We just saw a BIG bearish indicator on $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ SPY - a shooting star candle! A shooting star candle is a bearish reversal pattern that consists of a single candlestick. It is characterized by a long upper shadow, a small real body, and little or no lower shadow. The long upper shadow indicates that the price of the asset rose sharply during the day, but then closed near the open. This suggests that buying momentum was waning and that sellers were starting to take control. Shooting star candles are most effective when they occur after a period of strong uptrend. This is because they signal that the bulls are losing their grip on the market and that a reversal may be imminent. Here are some of

      I agree that the investment principle of unity of knowledge and action is very important for investors, because it can reduce the risk of losing money on the investment road. There are many changes in investing in the stock market, and you often don’t know if you are caught in an investment trap. Therefore, you need to master enough theoretical knowledge to invest. In addition, it is necessary to apply this knowledge to practice, to continuously accumulate experience and to adjust investment strategies regularly, so as to achieve the mutual promotion of investment and practice. The above is the perfect implementation of the investment principle of unity of knowledge and action.

      Why US Stocks May Stay Bullish in the Second Half of 2023

Historical data indicated that the average returns for the S&P 500 six and twelve months after a midterm election were 15.1% and 16.3% respectively. (Source: https://finbiteinsights.substack.com/p/us-stocks-have-always-been-bullish) So far, this trend has held true as the US stocks have surpassed expectations, despite various challenges such as inflation, rate hikes, recession risks, bank failures, and the debt ceiling. By May 8, 2023, which marks six months after the midterm election, the S&P 500 had risen by 8%. If the statistics continue to hold, it is likely that positive returns will persist until November 2023. Additionally, there are two other relevant statistics worth men

      For H2 2023, Invest In Metals - Gold, Copper?

      With 6 months left before 2023 is officially over, is it timely to explore and see if there is anything else that is worth investing? One area that I am keen is Metals. Immediately, metal “gold” comes to mind, right? Actually, it is a “misnomer” to think that gold is the alternative in times of inflation. Really? Yes, really (see below). Above is US inflation rate through the decades, stopping short of the current cycle. Gold "mixed" performance during inflation years By matching the US inflation table against this table, it shows returns from (a) commodities (b) REITS and (c) gold. The outcome is “obvious”. Rounding off, latest IG news dated 25 May 2023 indicated that gold prices will end lower as US Treasury yields continue to rise. With 2 more planned interest hike by the Fed in

      Why Warren Buffett increase stakes in LNG?

      A few days ago, Berkshire Hathaway, led by Warren Buffett, increased its stake in $Occidental(OXY)$ Petroleum , raising its stakes to 25%. Buffett's favoritism towards Occidental Petroleum is well-known, and with the endorsement of the stock market guru, Occidental Petroleum is one of the strongest performing companies in the energy sector.However, Buffett also endorsed an oil and gas company. On July 10th, $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ Energy agreed to acquire a 50% stake in $Dominion Resources(D)$ energy's Cove Point liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Maryland for $3.3 billion.

      Upward GDP means more tightening policy?

      In the last week of the first half of the year, the US stock market reached a new high, with $Apple(AAPL)$ surpassing a market capitalization of 3 trillion dollars, becoming the main driving force behind the market's rise. However, excellent macroeconomic data may be the primary reason for investors' sustained optimism.Two revised financial indicators have further improved the situation: Q1 US GDP, with a quarterly annualized growth rate revised from the previous 1.3% to a final value of 2%, far exceeding the market's expectation of 1.4%; and Q1 US Core PCE Price Index, with a slight downward revision in the quarterly annualized growth rate to 4.9% from the previous 5.0%, and a slight downward revision in the quarterly annualized growth rate to 4.

      FOMC June meeting, How to determine the trend of assets in H2?

      The Federal Reserve maintained its position and met market expectations during the June meeting. However, the major change was a significant upward adjustment in the dot plot, with the Fed now expecting two more interest rate hikes within the year, which exceeds market expectations. This hawkish stance is driven by the resilience of the US economy and persistent inflation, especially stubborn core inflation, which has compelled the Fed to consider raising interest rates. Nonetheless, the Fed doesn't want to hike too quickly, hence they have chosen a "steady progress" approach for now and refrained from raising rates in June.Overall, we believe the Fed has a strong inclination to continue raising rates if the upcoming data remains stable. For instance, if GDP, unemployment rate, and other d

      I agree that the investment principle of unity of knowledge and action is very important for investors, because it can reduce the risk of losing money on the investment road. There are many changes in investing in the stock market, and you often don’t know if you are caught in an investment trap. Therefore, you need to master enough theoretical knowledge to invest. In addition, it is necessary to apply this knowledge to practice, to continuously accumulate experience and to adjust investment strategies regularly, so as to achieve the mutual promotion of investment and practice. The above is the perfect implementation of the investment principle of unity of knowledge and action. It is a pity that it is very difficult to implement the investment principle of unity of knowledge and action in
