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!

By: Nadeem_Walayat
Firstly never forget that the AI Mega-trend is NOT LINEAR BUT EXPONENTIAL where the pandemic has only acted to to accelerate the mega-trend a notch higher.

What's the Role of an Affiliate Marketer? / Companies / Marketing
By: Sumeet_Manhas
If you visit most of the e-commerce sites, you'll come across the 'become an affiliate marketer' link. Affiliate marketing has gained momentum, although most people don't understand what it's all about.Simply put, affiliate marketing refers to a marketing technique in which an organization pays others to market its services or products. The marketers earn a commission whenever a customer buys the product through their links. Affiliates normally place product links on their blog, app, or website. Once someone purchases the product through the link, the affiliate gets a commission. This helps companies to get more sales hence more profit. However, affiliate marketing may not be a success without support from affiliate managers. These play a central role as far as affiliate marketing is concerned.

NVIDIA THE KING OF THE METAVERSE! / Companies / Metaverse
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The GPU King is fast branching out across the AI spectrum, targeting all with it's processing power form Cloud computing to Autonomous vehicles. But you have to PAY TOP DOLLAR for piece of the KING of the Metaverse! And what am I doing? I am SHORT Nvidia! Yikes, that could prove to be a short lived short (stop $352). BUY THE DIP, ANY DIP JUST BUY THE DIP AND THEN FORGET ABOUT IT! I need to practice what I preach where Nvidia is concerned, over thinking can be dangerous to ones portfolio!
The bottom line is virtually every tech stock on my list is a META-VERSE stock! I literally have to do nothing more than to be invested in the stocks on my list (yes I know I don't hold Microsoft, and Apple right now) to be invested in some of the best and safest exposure to Meta-verse stocks.

IBM The REAL Quantum Metaverse STOCK! / Companies / AI
By: Nadeem_Walayat
IBM is another sleeping tech giant that the so called the analysts are clueless about.
What comes to mind when you think of IBM ?
It's stock price chart ?
Logo?
What comes to my mind is a quantum computer and then the 2001 Space Oddessy movie Monolith. If you have not watched the movie then watch it even though it is over 50 years old.

MATTERPORT (MTTR) - DIGITIZING THE REAL WORLD - METAVERSE INVESTING 2022 / Companies / Metaverse
By: Nadeem_Walayat
And lastly MATTERPORT that digitises the real world via it's Pro2 3D camera's by turning image data into 3d models. Of specific interest is that it holds 38 patents and 28 pending patterns in the digitisation of the real world space which is going to make it tough for new entrants to deploy similar systems without having to enter into a licence agreement with Matterport. Matterport is a small cap very high risk stock i.e. Q3 revenue was just $27, 7 million, accompanied with a net loss of $14 million or negative EPS of $0.06. However the numbers mean diddly squat right now for we are looking out across brave new virtual worlds towards which Matterport looks set to play it's pivotal role where for me the key metrics right now are market cap $6.6bn, and shareholder dilution for which it is early days but I strongly suspect they will print a lot of shares in early years at least, which means it's best to bide ones time than to FOMO.

METAVERSE - NEW LIFE FOR SONY AGEING GAMING GIANT? / Companies / Metaverse
By: Nadeem_Walayat
I often get asked by Patrons to take a look at Sony, so finally the metaverse may give a reason to own SONY. The problem I have with Sony is that it is a mish mash of divisions from gaming that we want to invest in then there is Sony Pictures and Sony consumer electronics that took a big hit due to the Pandemic. Sony Music which also tends to do well, Sony financials? No not crypto's, just another bolt on, a bit like when the US automakers thought they were banks. Gaming is where the action is at but it only accounts for about 30% of Sony's revenues. Trades on a PE of 18.5, pays a small dividend of 0.34%, Expected EPS of 11% so it's hardly going to do an Nvidia or a Microsoft. On the plus side it does buy back 'some' shares every now and then so no share holder dilution in recent years. It's basically a safe stock if bought at the right price and that right price would be at about 15X earnings. Current price is $121 divided by 18.5 X 15 = $98, so lets see if $98 is possible.

Quantum AI Tech Stocks Portfolio Current State / Companies / AI
By: Nadeem_Walayat
In terms of the AI stocks portfolio this means I am scrapping small nearby limit orders I had for Apple,. Microsoft, AVGO, and LMT, and replacing with more distant limit order, for instance I would be buying significant exposure to LMT at around $300 rather than at my just scrapped limit order of $326. Similarly I amended my LIMIT order to buy more INTEL from $47 to $44 and and IBM from $115 to $108. Though I would not be surprised if both Intel and IBM ROSE whilst the rest of the market fell, hence why I am content to already be mostly fully invested in Intel and IBM.

AUTODESK (ADSK) - CAD - Metaverse Stock Analysis Investing for 2022 and Beyond / Companies / Metaverse
By: Nadeem_Walayat
AUTODESK (ADSK) - CAD - $254 RISK - 3 OUT OF 10
Auto desk has been kicking around for literally decades, long before the internet become a thing with it's autocad software that has since mushroomed into over 100 design software packages so as the VR hardware advances then so will the demand for software to design and construct the metaverse's where Auto desk has decades head start on any startups. In terms of financials the companies revenues are growing at a rate of about 20% per annum so doubling sales roughly every 4 years. Trades on a lofty PE of 53, with decent EPS growth of 28%. Though on a high market cap of $56 billion but on the plus side the balance sheet shows a slight reduction in the number of outstanding shares, down form 222 million in 2017 to 219.8 million at the start of 2021. So they don't appear to be a serial shares printer.
The stock chart shows that Autodesk just experienced a sharp drop as the market disliked their latest earnings report for whatever reason.
