Around or above 5 i think you nailed it. So far earnings havent mattered in the two weeks we started, a little less than two weeks. What mattered is geo politics and Interest Rates. Interest rates have been defined at least in large part by the fed moves. Not the only factor involved with Interest Rates but that has been a big factor and a big factor for the last 18 months which is to say that the investing environment for the last 18 months has been lousy. Company reports and earnings havent mattered anywhere near as much as Interest Rates. That will continue in my humble opinion until the fed signals it is done raising rates. It sounds like just listening to jay powell last week like that is what he wants to do but hes not going to declare Mission Accomplished too early. He doesnt want to take that risk. We have a couple more months of what appears to be kind of a lousy investing environment but when the fed signals it is done the environment changes. Josh, alphabet today. What you o
Sold the qs which i find interesting. And last week you said that you are longer now than i you can remember so why did you trim alphabet i add significantly to alphabet in the 130s when all the genesis and noise came out and i thought it was a Short Term Impact and there was no there there. So i took the opportunity to really super ssize the position and now cutting it back to normal size. It is still one of high larger positions. But i dont think that it was prudent. So really risk manager and in terms of the qs, im short the qs as a heenlg because i have no idea what the Inflation Numbers will be. So i sold the position i had after eight days of market straight up, i would have sold them anyway. Because they are always a trade. They are just to express a near term view. So my near term view is just risk management. I have so much beta in the portfolio through the big names that i thought it was prudent to put a little hedge on it im thinking like you look at meta month to date, up 8
Angen soaring and comments on its version of an obesity drug, and apple hires and focuses on that record buyback. Is the Company Using 110 billion to wallpaper over some weakness or were the results not as bad as feared . Steve covac covering apple for us from sfans. Hey, steve. So look. Last quarter revenue was down 4 , iphone sales down 10 , but no one really seems to care because apple gave its shareholders the biggest stock buyback in corporate history. Thats 110 billion, increased the dividend, 4 to 0. 25 and went towards modest growth which was expected as some have been trimming their estimates. China sales were down 12 , and in an interview yesterday, i was told iphone sales in Mainland China grew. Thats countering the narrative we have been hearing over the last few months. I also asked cook about his recent visit to china just a few weeks ago. He told me, quote, i feel great that in an extraordinary, competitive environment, that we grew iphone sales in Mainland China last qu
Last night i told you that whenever we have an intraday rebound from a big decline based on pretty much nothing, as what happened yesterday around 1 40 to 1 43 p. M. Then you could have a chance for a real run the next day. Ive staked my career on being able to spot bottoms and tops. And that intraday pivot often signals a real sea change in the market. Sure enough after a slow start the dow rises 116 points, s p gained. 59 and the nasdaq jumped. 83 . When the market was once again cascading down, out and out capit capitulation, and then it just stopped. And then it started rebounding like crazy almost into the close because none of the prevailing negatives actually changed the higher Interest Rates, soaring price of oil. The rebound was widely dismissed. Hard to take seriously when the fundamentals havent changed at all, isnt it . But i choose not to dismiss it because these kinds of against the prevailing mood moves can be very meaningful. They have been many times in the past. A piv
