Trillion-Dollar Stock Market Cap Club / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Michael_Pento
There are a handful of stocks in which institutions and individual investors have recently piled into. This behavior is emblematic of all bull markets once they begin to hit the manic phase. Wall Street falls in love with a few high-growth darlings and takes their valuations up to the thermosphere.If you add up the market capitalizations of just four stocks, Google (Alphabet), Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, their combined worth exceeds $5 trillion. If you throw in Facebook, you get the top 5 biggest firms by market capitalization, and they compose an amazing 18% of the S&P 500. Another way of looking at this is that the market cap of a full 282 companies in the S&P 500 now equals the same as the top 5 behemoths.

This Invisible Company Powers Almost the Entire Finance Industry / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Stephen_McBride
Justin Spittler :
The days of going to a bank are coming to an end.
In the past 10 years, 15,000 bank branches have shut their doors for good. And foot traffic to banks has fallen by 50%. Bank branches are shutting down left and right for a simple reason... They’re useless!
These days, you can deposit a check by taking a photo with your phone. You can open a bank account or order a new credit card in five minutes over the internet. You can even take out a mortgage without ever seeing a human banker, thanks to disruptive services like Quicken Loans.
And it’s not just banks. Digital disruption is eating away at every “old” business model in finance. Everyone from stockbrokers to financial planners is under assault.

By: Stephen_McBride
By Justin Spittler : Rumor has it, pop star Justin Bieber and actor Leonardo DiCaprio are taking a trip to outer space...It sounds like a sci-fi movie, but have you heard of Virgin Galactic? Founded by British billionaire Richard Branson, the company has built the world’s first spaceship.

Semiconductor Stocks Sector Market & Economic Leader / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Gary_Tanashian
The signals have persisted since the May lows in the Semi sector and in the broad markets. Nominal Semiconductor (esp. Semi Equipment) stocks and the sector’s market leadership have remained intact into our window for a projected cycle bottom, which was the 2nd half of 2019.
This post shines a favorable light on the Semiconductor sector while at the same time acknowledging that may have little to do with the broad market’s fortunes as Q3’s reporting begins next month. In other words, while we have been projecting new highs for the S&P 500 on the very short-term, there are fundamental and technical reasons to believe the stock market could be significantly disturbed in Q4. But the Semi sector is an economic early bird. Let’s remember that.

Tech Giants Will Crash in the Next Stock Market Downturn / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Robert_Ross
Some of your “safe” stocks aren’t as safe as you might think.
And now is a good time to sell them.
Let me explain…
As you likely know, US stocks have shot up and down many times over the last month. In August alone, there were five days when the S&P 500 rose or fell at least 1%.
That might not sound like a lot, but it’s a pretty big deal.

NASDAQ Should Reach 8031 Before Topping / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Chris_Vermeulen
With earnings data starting to hit the markets and recent news that China’s economic activity levels shrank to levels not seen in nearly 30 years, we believe our proprietary Fibonacci price modeling system is showing us a target level in the NASDAQ (NQ) that will likely be reached within the next 7 to 10 days. We believe once this target level is reached, the US stock market will immediately begin an extended topping formation with sideways price action and increased volatility) which will culminate in our August 19, 2019 setup date for a much deeper price correction.
At this time, traders should start to prepare for this topping event and prepare for price resistance to be found as the NQ nears this 8031 level – only 60 pts away. If you are sitting on a bunch of profitable long trades, our suggestion would be to scale back 50% to 60% of these open positions and prepare for a top setup to begin within 7 to 10 days. The volatility we expect to see over the next 30 days will likely be 2x or 3x current levels.

What This Centi-Billionaire Fashion Magnate Can Teach You About Investing / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Stephen_McBride
There are 2,208 billionaires on earth, according to Forbes. But only three are rich enough to qualify as “centi-billionaires”—worth $100 billion or more.
Amazon (AMZN) CEO Jeff Bezos is #1.
Microsoft founder (MSFT) Bill Gates is #2.
#3 will probably surprise you.
It’s not super-investor Warren Buffett. It’s not Facebook (FB) CEO Mark Zuckerberg. It’s not a hedge fund manager, a banker, or a Russian oligarch.

Netflix’s Worst Nightmare Has Come True / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Stephen_McBride
If there were a stock market “hall of fame,” Netflix (NFLX) would be a shoe-in.
Its stock has soared 8,500%+ in the last decade as “streaming” video has caught fire.
Netflix achieved those gains by stealing tens of millions of customers from cable companies. Last year, half of Americans age 22–45 didn’t watch a second of cable TV. And 35 million Americans have dropped cable in the last decade.
But it’s time to come to terms with a sad truth...
Netflix’s glory days are over. And what’s coming next won’t be pleasant if you own Netflix stock.

Big Tech Break-Up Won’t Happen for This One Reason / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Stephen_McBride
The US government recently announced it will launch an investigation into “big tech.”
It is looking into whether Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOG), and Facebook (FB) are too powerful and should be broken up.
These are the 3rd-, 4th-, and 6th-largest companies on earth. Combined, they are worth over $2 trillion. And they’ve grown 470%, 175%, and 95% over the past five years.
All three stocks tanked on the news. In recent weeks, Google has dropped 20%, Amazon 15%, and Facebook 18%.

Please Don’t Buy the Dip in Nvidia or Other Chip Stocks / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Stephen_McBride
What do an iPhone and Nike sneakers have in common?
Both are made by iconic American companies. Both are also made in China.
American goods used to be made in America. Then cheap labor transformed China into the “world’s factory.”
Today we get 80% of our air conditioners, 70% of TVs, and 60% of shoes from China. But there’s one disruptive area that America still dominates.
Stocks in this area can produce huge profits (or losses) depending on how the US-China trade war shakes out. In fact, I picked a safe chip-making company as one of my three favorite disruptor stocks for 2019.

Nasdaq De-FAANGed? / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks
By: Submissions
By Zac Mannes : We generally chart the regular NASDAQ -- the NDX, QQQ, and the futures -- but when you consider that a mere five momentum names, affectionately given the acronym "FAANG," comprise nearly 40% of the weighting of the entire index, a glance at the Equal Weight version is not a bad idea. I prefer the First Trust (QQEW) to the Direxion (QQQE) as it seems to chart slightly cleaner and the "EW" is easier to remember.
Watching for nuanced differentiation in the patterns between the QQEW and NDX, it is possible to see the potential for the former to lead a bit. For example, back in August/September of 2018, QQEW marked a divergent high. More recently, the QQEW began to count more like the blue 5th wave extension of (5) of Primary Wave 3 before the NDX shifted from it's "(B)" wave.

By: Stephen_McBride
There’s a big lie about disruption going around. And folks aren’t spreading it intentionally.
Many smart investors I talk to genuinely believe it to be the truth.
If you accept this widespread lie, you’ll likely make poor decisions when investing in disruptive companies.
Here, I’ll explain the real truth and why it matters to disruption investors.

Elliott Wave Analysis of SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF (XSD) / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: WavePatternTraders
If you are an active trader, then you may well have been noticing the recent strength on the semiconductor stocks, particularly stocks like Broadcom (AVGO) Intel (INTC) and Microsoft (MSFT). Although there are a few more semiconductor stocks that have shown strength since the Dec 2018 low, based on the weighting, the stocks listed are the more important stocks to follow in my opinion.Taking a look at the ETF called XSD, it's pretty much the SOX in disguise, I favor the frenzy and euphoria that we are seeing now, is likely a 5th wave of a large impulse wave from the 2009 low. It's common to see Technology stocks being bid when traders and investors are chasing the market. We saw that into the Oct 2018 high as the FAANG stocks were being bid up. Today it's not so much the FAANG stocks, but the semiconductor stocks, which is very reminiscent to what was seen into the 2000 tech bubble top.
