US Interest Rate A Pause Like Nonother / Interest-Rates / US Interest Rates
By: Michael_Pento
The Bank of Canada paused its rate hiking cycle in January but then hiked rates at its last meeting. The
Royal Bank of Australia paused in April but then had to start hiking again in June. The Fed also paused at
its June meeting or at least skipped a rate hike. This was the case even though core inflation rose 0.4%
month over month from April to May and was still up 5.3% from a year ago.

Broadcom AVGO Stock Blasts off to the MOON! / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Nadeem_Walayat
AVGO - $813, EGF +3%, +7%, PE 20.5, F7.3
To the MOON! AVGO is probably the best AI tech stock on my list in terms of fundamentals. We are now in uncharted territory, all we have are the round numbers of $900 and $1000 to play with. I am 46% invested and reluctant to trim further. Given the fundamentals could spike even higher on earnings 1st June.

ASML Stock New All Time High? / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Nadeem_Walayat
ASML - $736, EGF +14%, +22%, PE 40.7, F5.6
I have resisted the urge to trim ASML, so little trimming to date primarily due to the positive EGF's that is contrary to most. This stock has already doubled off it's low and could fly to new all time highs this year!

AMAT Stock New All Time High? / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Nadeem_Walayat
AMAT $136, EGF -7%, -11%, P/E 17, F6,1
AMAT has had a fantastic bull run off it's $70 low thus I think it's going to find it tough to make much headway above X2, $140 given the negative EGF's. it could just manage to trade above $140 before correcting.

By: Sumeet_Manhas
It’s been two years since Stephen Bird’s successful rebrand of Standard Life Aberdeen into abrdn. The former banker became the asset manager’s CEO in autumn 2020. He launched the new abrdn branding in spring 2021, reshaping the global investment company into three growth vectors.
The corporate rebrand has been one aspect of Bird’s wider company transformation. So far, his long-term plan to future-proof abrdn has reaped positive rewards. The turnaround continues to progress at a steady rate.

META FILL the GAP FOMO All the way to $330! / Companies / Metaverse
By: Nadeem_Walayat
META $262 - EGF +13%, +38%, PE 26.9, F5
Willie Wonka's golden ticket stocks are those with Low P/E's (relative), positive EGF's, Okay fundamentals and under 100% share holder dilution, META FITS the bill. I recall in the depths of hell when META was at $100 and many wanted me to give them the green light to throw in the towel, my response was I never sell at a loss and now you can see why! Every time I crunch META's numbers I raise my Sell limit orders hence I still maintain heavy exposure at 133%. I would not be surprised if we see META trade north of $330 this year!

Micron MU Stock Price FOMO to $80 / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Nadeem_Walayat
MICRON - $74 - EGF -400%, -213%, P/E 35.4, F4.4
Horrific fundamentals have prompted to grab the bull by the horn and trim Micron hard down to 85% invested and given the numbers I just can't see much more upside for Micron at a push it could get to $80, it's going to be interesting looking back on these stocks with the benefit of hindsight.

Will AMD Stock Price FOMO to $150? / Companies / AMD
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Not in the same league as Nvidia in terms of being in a blow off top. but for one stock that I had heavily bought I have taken this FOMO rally to SELL HARD down to 97% invested as all of the limits I had placed right up to $125 have been executed. Yes, AMD could go a lot higher during this FOMO run maybe as high as $150, we will only know with the benefit of hindsight.

Nvidia Blow Off Top - Flying High like the Phoenix too Close to the Sun / Companies / Nvidia
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Nvidia has gone nuts! EGF's are very strong at +44% and +84%, too strong! Discounting too much growth. I know Nvidia well and yes there is very high demand for their AI Chips, but many of their most recent GPU releases i.e. the RTX 4070 and RTX 4060Ti are POOP in terms of price per performance i.e. one is better of buying last gen than their most recent releases. And then we have the 127X P/E ratio for a stock trading on a market cap of $967 billion! So I sold 12% at $383, and I am now just 2% invested.

Apple AAPL Stock Trend and Earnings Analysis / Companies / Apple
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Dear Reader
S&P 4133 - The stock market is clearly counting down to a major move after having gone nowhere for near 3 weeks, largely stuck in a range of mainly between 4150 and 4120. There is the Fed Meeting on 3rd May when the Fed is expected to raise rates by 0.25% that now carries 83% probability and then there is Apples earnings after the next days close (4th May), where Apple stock represents a ridiculous 7.2% of the S&P index so where Apple goes so does the rest of the market and thus is the focus of this analysis.

AI, Stocks, and Gold Stocks – Connected After All / Companies / AI
By: P_Radomski_CFA
AI! Computers making intelligent decisions! New paradigm! Old laws don’t apply anymore! Long live the bull market! …Really?
Yes, AI is transformative. It already starts to enhance multiple businesses, just like the Internet did many years ago. And as many thought cryptocurrencies would.
But it doesn’t mean that the huge transformation will happen overnight! Or that it fixes everything with regard to the world’s problems in general or with the economic situation.
However, as always, markets – that are ultimately made of people (and bots that were programmed by people, anyway) – are emotional in the short run. And this emotionality is what likely we have just seen when the interest in AI soared.
