By: Stephen_McBride
Today I’m uncovering a “truth” about investing almost nobody understands.This truth explains why most investors struggle to make any real money in the stock market… while a few achieve life-changing gains.
The truth is… most stocks suck.
Forgive me for the crude language.
There’s simply no other word that so accurately sums up my thoughts on the vast majority of stocks:
They suck.
Let me show you what I mean... and how you can turn this truth into an edge that’ll let you beat 99% of investors.

Why I changed my mind on Netflix / Companies / Investing 2022
By: Stephen_McBride
Remember the streaming wars?A few years ago, every news outlet was having a field day debating which company would conquer American TV.
Netflix… Disney… Amazon… Apple… and a slew of other firms are still battling it out for streaming supremacy.
With over half a billion paying subscribers between them, you could say they all “won.”
- But there’s been one big loser in the war…

The Quantum AI Mega-trend - m = f - Everything is Waving! / Companies / Quantum Computing
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Imagine in the 1960's most had little idea of the world that the transistor would herald beyond that of maybe transistor radios and colour Tv's! Personal computers weren't even in most peoples imagination given that the movies and media of the day painted a picture of computing equating to giant super computers.
Imagine in the 1970's when few paid attention to Intel's 4004 processor that started the microprocessor ball rolling all thanks to Japan's Nippon Calculating Machine Corporation (Busicom) that contracted the tech start up to design 12 custom chips for them, in response to which rather than developing 12 custom chips Intel decided it was more cost effective to just develop one multipurpose processor that could be programmed and so was born what would become the 4004. Only one problem the Japanese company Busicom owned the rights to the chip! Intel eventually offered to return Busicom's $60k investment in exchange for the rights which the struggling Japanese company agreed to and the rest is history! Or will be when IBM gave Intel what it had been seeking for a decade, a big buyer with deep pockets to commit to volume orders for it's processors by ordering 10,000 units per year from 1982 onwards. All forgotten today just how small Intel was for a good 13 years since inception and that it was only when IBM started making use of Intel processors in IBM PC's that Intel started to take off.

JRS.L Capitalising on Russia's War CRASHED Stocks / Companies / Russia
By: Nadeem_Walayat
My plan to capitalise on Putin's the war was centred around accumulating into JRS.L . first very lightly between £5.5 and £5, better this investment trust than individual Russian stocks that can fall victim to sanctions, so less volatility and better long-term prospects for an ultimate bounce back to well north of £8 as JRS.L is an investment trust I have traded in and out of for decades. Generally buying when under £5 and selling when over £8.50 as part of my legacy stocks portfolio. However since upside is limited, I won't be adding this to my public portfolio's. Nevertheless I was set to accumulate big well ahead of the invasion that I expected to trade to well below 5.0 and likely could fall further all the way down to as low as £2.50, and then hold for the long-run to sell at a target of around £8.75, just as I did a few months ago when I sold ALL of my holdings at £8.72 via a long standing limit order. I.e. apart from the current accumulation phase it's not a stock that I intend on monitoring closely.

Facebook, Microsoft… now Walmart? The Metaverse! / Companies / Metaverse
By: Stephen_McBride
By Justin Spittler : The world’s largest retailer has its eyes set on the metaverse.
I’m talking about Walmart (WMT), where more than 240 million shoppers visit each week. Walmart’s not the sort of business you’d expect to dive headfirst into a brand-new tech megatrend.
But it recently revealed its massive plans for the metaverse.
On December 30, Walmart filed several new trademarks indicating its intent to sell virtual toys, sporting goods, and home decorations.

NETFLIX - You Cannot Say You Weren't Warned! / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Some six months ago in response to Patron requests for why I do not include Netflix as one of the FANGs in my list, my quick analysis painted a dire picture for the stocks future prospects that I saw as destined to trade down to between $250 and $400 for several years, and thus the price being bid up towards $600 at the time was literally a stock asking for an INVESTOR PANIC to CRASH it at least halve in price.

AI Tech Stocks 2022 Correction / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Nadeem_Walayat
People tend to over complicate investing, looking for that which will give them the exact bottom price to buy at because they cannot cope with draw downs, even though the draw down delivers lower buying prices and thus risk missing out on the golden opportunity of accumulating into some of the best stocks one can ever dream of investing in at deep discounts to their trading highs, virtually all of which traded at least 15% lower during the week with a number such as Nvidia and AMD trading lower by more than 1.3rd of where they were trading barely a month ago!

Stock Market Sentiment Speaks: It's Time To Invest Based Upon Corporae Earnings / Companies / Stock Market 2022
By: Avi_Gilburt
We have all heard the phrase “earnings are the mother’s milk of stocks.” I believe the phrase was coined by Larry Kudlow. In fact, I have some commenters to my articles that claim that earnings are the only thing one needs to know about investing in the stock market.
But, is it true?
Bob Prechter has done some research into this topic, and has outlined some very interesting market history that flies in the face of the common perception regarding earnings: The Myth of Company Earnings and Stock Price
Are stocks driven by corporate earnings? In June 1991, The Wall Street Journal reported on a study by Goldman Sachs’ Barrie Wigmore, who found that “only 35% of stock price growth [in the 1980s] can be attributed to earnings and interest rates.” Wigmore concludes that all the rest is due simply to changing social attitudes toward holding stocks. Says the Journal, “[This] may have just blown a hole through this most cherished of Wall Street convictions.”
What about simply the trend of earnings versus the stock market? Well, since 1932, corporate profits have been down in 19 years. The Dow rose in 14 of those years. In 1973-74, the Dow fell 46% while earnings rose 47%. 12-month earnings peaked at the bear market low. Earnings do not drive stocks.

STOCK MARKET WARNING ARK FUNDS GROWTH STOCKS 90% CRASH! / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The great valuation reset that I have been warning of for a good 6 months is taking place with a vengeance! As it's not a question of everyone waiting for the Fed act to raise rates because the market is already raising rates anyway and at their sharpest pace in over a year which punishes the high PE garbage growth stocks whilst rewarding low PE strong cash flow stocks.
Look at ARK GARBAGE STOCKS - NO EARNINGS, NO SALES, JUST SOME GARBAGE MANTRA of "DESRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY" THAT SPEWS OUT of CATHY WOOD from time to time! The only thing getting disrupted are the portfolios of all the poor souls who fell for her snake oil sales pitch!

Financial Stocks Sector ETF XLF $37.50 Continues To Present Opportunities / Companies / Banking Stocks
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Recent volatility in the US markets ahead of the Fed comments/actions have prompted a relatively big pullback in almost every sector. Many traders are concerned the Fed may take immediate action to raise rates. Yet, a small portion of traders believes the Fed may be trapped in a position to act more conservatively in addressing inflation going forward. I think the Fed will continue to talk firmly about potentially raising rates. The Fed is more interested in decreasing the assets on their balance sheet before they risk doing anything to disrupt support for the global markets.
Suppose my analysis of the Fed predicament is correct. In that case, the recent collapse of the US markets represents a fear-based emotional selloff of many sectors that may still represent a strong opportunity for a recovery rally in 2022. One of those sectors is the Financial sector – particularly XLF.
I wrote about this on January 7, 2022, in this article: FINANCIAL SECTOR STARTS TO RALLY TOWARDS THE $43.60 UPSIDE TARGET

In November, Reuters reported that “banks, insurers, and investors with $130 trillion at their disposal pledged to put combating climate change at the center of their work.”
$130 trillion!

Quantum AI Stocks Investing Priority / Companies / Investing 2022
By: Nadeem_Walayat
From time to time I get asked by Patrons what stocks would I prioritise exposure to, so that there is no confusion my priority has stayed fairly constant for a good 5 years now as illustrated by the ordering of ny AI stocks portfolio where as far as I can recall Google has always remained primary, numero uno, and why through thick and thin, even if I thought armageddon was just around the corner, Google has remained a constant in my portfolio and represents the pinnacle of what one would deem to be a PERFECT STOCK. Google is PRIMARY, In fact one could just buy and hold Google and nothing else and likely beat the market!
Whilst all of the other stocks do jiggle around in their positions from time, however the primary AI stocks have remained fairly constant for some time. In fact digging into my article archives here is one of the earliest iterations of my AI stocks portfolio list dating back to October 2016 which has aged well noting that Apple had a stock split so that the un split price now would be about $700!
