Quantum AI Tech Stocks Big Picture / Companies / Quantum AI Tech Stocks
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Just pause for a moment and take in the chart in the video, the message one should be receiving loud and clear is that I expect this bull market to run for many more years, whilst my best guess 2 years ago was that it would top in early 2027, as long as run away valuations moderated during 2022 then I don't see why this should still not remain the big picture, thus the bull market could extend to 18 years from it's March 2009 low!

The Only Stocks to Buy in a Recession / Companies / Investing 2022
By: Submissions
By Chris Wood : When you think of “recession-proof” stocks... what comes to mind?
Let me guess… toilet paper and toothpaste?
The widespread (but wrong) belief is companies that sell “essentials,” like Clorox or Johnson & Johnson, are the best way to ride out a recession.
No offense... but I’m not interested in making 5% on a toilet paper stock.

By: Sumeet_Manhas
There are twice as many private equity firms out there today than there were a decade ago, and private market assets under management have reached an all-time high of $6.3 trillion according to McKinsey’s Private Markets Annual Review. As the market continues to grow and competition along with it, firms must determine how to quickly and effectively evaluate potential deals and identify strong investment opportunities.
According to data from Teten Advisors, the median investor in private companies reviews over 80 opportunities in order to make a single investment. To determine whether an investment is worth pursuing or if it should be passed over all investors conduct a rigorous process known as due diligence, but in the case of private equity a number of unique challenges are presented. Target companies are typically not public, meaning that information typically available in more traditional investments such as SEC filings are not accessible. Additionally, the focus of a private equity company on profits for the fund requires a different perspective from other alternative investments.

Reshoring…
Remember this word…
You will hear it more and more as we near the November elections… and in the years to come.
It means to bring a business that was moved overseas back home to America.
You see, the era of moving US production to China for cheap labor is over.
The US and China have been political rivals for a long time. Now they’re increasingly becoming outright enemies. They have serious disagreements over Taiwan and the Russia-Ukraine war.

Claiming and Calculating The Research and Development Tax Credit / Companies / SME
By: Sumeet_Manhas
The Die Steuergutschrift Für Forschung Und Entwicklung was established in 1981 to encourage research and development (R&D) in the United States. This tax credit works as a dollar-for-dollar offset against a taxpayer's liability for federal income tax and, in some cases, payroll tax.
Because most states offer a credit analogous to the federal one, the total possible benefit, which includes both the federal and state credits, is often somewhere between 10 and 20 percent of qualified expenditures. Businesses operating in practically every sector of the economy reported R&D credits totaling more than an estimated $18 billion in the previous year.

By: EWI
Excessive euphoria in financial markets is usually a big reason to be "skeptical"
Environmental, Social and Governance bonds (ESG) -- also called "green" bonds -- are offered by companies which want to advance the causes of social justice, social inclusion and green technology.
This form of debt had been steadily gaining in popularity -- going from sales of less than $100 billion in 2015 to around $800 billion in 2020.
For instance, here's an Oct. 9, 2020 headline from Pensions & Investments:
University of Toronto's $7 billion fund makes bet on ESG debt
However, the Elliott wave structure of a global green-bond index was sending a warning signal.

AI Tech Stock PORTFOLIO NAME OF THE GAME / Companies / AI
By: Nadeem_Walayat
What's the name of the game?
Answer - To gain exposure to the Quantum AI tech stocks that are on an exponential trend trajectory. That is the name of the game, where today's 50% deviations form the highs in the likes of Nvidia and AMD will become invisible blips on the long-term charts in a few short years time. Though how many investors will be able to hold on for the big pay off? I suspect not many given that today's platforms induce a trader mindset in investors which is how the platforms have been designed to drum up lots of small commissions be it IKBR's 35 cents per trade or Free Trades 0.45% F/X fee. So I know what's going to happen after stocks have bottomed and start to rocket higher say by 30% to 50% many will start asking is it now time to sell? As they think they will be able to trade in and out of corrections.
Last year I made the mistake of selling too much! Selling 80% of my holdings was too much, yes a bear market was highly probable but one does not know for sure until it actually materialises and to what degree. Back when Nvidia was flying high as a kite above $300, writing that I expected it to fall to below $200 and possibly as low as $140 does not mean it was definitely going to happen until it actually happens!
