Panicked by the Yield Curve Inversion? Time to Load Up on This Stocks Sector / Companies / Sector Analysis
By: Robert_Foss
For about a week last month, the yield curve inverted for the first time since July 2006.
Prior to that, this happened in July 2000 and April 1989.
There’s a pattern here… each inversion hit about 18 months before a recession. In fact, the yield curve has inverted before every recession over the last 50 years.
As such, recession-proofing your portfolio is imperative for investors.
The good news is the yield curve inversion also means stocks should perform well in the short term.
The even better news is that I’ve found a sector that consistently outperforms the broader market after every yield curve inversion.

At Look at IPOs in Digital Advertising / Companies / IPOs
By: Rodney_Johnson
Digital advertising is supposed to be the fuel of the future, funding new companies (#IPOs) that provide us with services we never knew we wanted – Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, etc. – while tearing away at our privacy.But there’s a problem.
Digital advertising is annoying users, and starting to creep us out.
I don’t want to see ads for lightweight jackets for the next three months just because I searched for one last November.
And by the way, isn’t that a bit backward? If I already bought the jacket, why is it still being marketed to me?

Want To Earn A Safe 5% In Fixed Income? Buy Preferred Stocks / Companies / Dividends
By: Robert_Foss
Chances are you’re overlooking an entire class of safe, high-yield stocks…These stocks have dividend yields averaging 5.7%. Yet very few retail investors own them.
That’s a shame. It means you’re probably leaving a lot of (predictable) money on the table—a thought income investors should cringe at.
If you haven’t figured it out already, I’m talking about preferred stocks, the bond-like cousin of ordinary “common stocks.”
As I’ll explain, today’s interest rate environment makes now a great time to buy preferred stocks.

Elliott Wave Analysis of SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF (XSD) / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: WavePatternTraders
If you are an active trader, then you may well have been noticing the recent strength on the semiconductor stocks, particularly stocks like Broadcom (AVGO) Intel (INTC) and Microsoft (MSFT). Although there are a few more semiconductor stocks that have shown strength since the Dec 2018 low, based on the weighting, the stocks listed are the more important stocks to follow in my opinion.Taking a look at the ETF called XSD, it's pretty much the SOX in disguise, I favor the frenzy and euphoria that we are seeing now, is likely a 5th wave of a large impulse wave from the 2009 low. It's common to see Technology stocks being bid when traders and investors are chasing the market. We saw that into the Oct 2018 high as the FAANG stocks were being bid up. Today it's not so much the FAANG stocks, but the semiconductor stocks, which is very reminiscent to what was seen into the 2000 tech bubble top.

Online Grocery Shopping Will Go Mainstream as Soon as This Year / Companies / Retail Sector
By: Stephen_McBride
—and These 2 Stocks Will Rake In Bill
Americans spend more money on groceries than anything besides housing.
The American grocery market is also 3X bigger than ALL of the online retail market. In other words, we spend 3-times more money on groceries than we do buying stuff over the internet.
Yet almost none of it happens on the internet.
You can see on this chart that a tiny 2% sliver of total grocery sales in America happens online:

Elliott Wave Analysis of XBI (Biotech ETF) / Companies / BioTech
By: WavePatternTraders
This is one area of the market that is actually showing some weakness compared to the NDX and SPX, so it could be a warning for both those markets. The reversal from the last minor swing high at $93.87 could be favoring a peak in place, although I would still allow for a bit more upside to end wave [B] if needed.As long as it fails to make a new high above $101.52, then it has a bearish setup for a move lower and tests $60.00 - 55.00 to end wave [C] to complete a large 3 wave decline from $101.52.
Bearish below $101.52, but tentatively looking lower below $93.87.

What Is Making Tax Digital and Why Should Businesses Care? / Companies / Taxes
By: Submissions
Tax is an inevitable part of conducting business in the UK that all companies must comply with, for better or worse. It provides for public services that we all make use of, and if we don’t meet our obligations in a timely manner and ensure our figures our correct, we are subject to fines. In 2018, the number of individuals late for their tax returns reached 746,000, all of whom may have been subject to a fine of £100, and more if the period of lateness is over three months. Fines are also levied in the case of intentional and unintentional errors made.
But everything could be set to change with a new tax management system that the HMRC in in the process of implementing, which should ensure that greater convenience is brought to businesses in the keeping of tax records, as well as saving time and resources funded by the taxpayer.

By: Submissions
Venture capitalists help startups grow by offering capital in exchange for equity during early stages. Of course, there’s much more to the process than simple siphoning money from VC to startup: often, this capital becomes a lifeline for promising businesses whose roadblocks are almost entirely monetary. Today, VCs play a huge role in the financial landscape of the startup world.

Financial FOMO with Lyft IPO / Companies / IPOs
By: Rodney_Johnson
Biotech in 1990, internet companies in 1999, vacation homes in 2005, cryptocurrencies in 2017. Now the fast money is chasing ridesharing pioneer Lyft, as well as other unicorns (private, money-losing companies valued at $1 billion or more). The Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) can certainly make us look foolish.My mother warned me about things like this. Something about following friends off a bridge…

LYFT Stock IPO Mania is Wall Street’s Dead Canary / Companies / IPOs
By: Michael_Pento
Recently, Wall Street has been myopically focused on the IPO of a ride-sharing company called Lyft, which by the way, is hemorrhaging money. Since investors have become much less concerned about profits and valuations, this offering was an incredible 20 times oversubscribed. Meaning, the underwriters received $47 billion of orders for Lyft shares but raised $2.3 billion. The company generated $2 billion in revenue last year and lost an incredible $911 billion! Investors rewarded this profligate business model with a market cap of $27 billion.This is a great example that Wall Street has gone nuts. The Lyft IPO price was $72 per share and shot up to $88.60 on its first day of trading. But the following trading day those shares were down 24% from the high. Indeed, this is emblematic of the dead canary in Wall Street’s coal mine.

Why Stock Buybacks Are Such a Mistake / Companies / Corporate News
By: Harry_Dent
A lot’s driving this bubble we’ve been in since 2009, but good fundamental trends and things like demographics and technology are not among them.The biggest inflator has been the $13 trillion worth of quantitative easing (QE) courtesy of central banks. Thanks to their significant gift to all but retail investors like you and me, speculation has become the norm.
With higher cash flow and cheaper borrowing rates – all in a slow growth economy – companies quickly learned that the best way to increase their earnings per share (EPS) was to shrink the number of shares available.

Are Traditional Business Models Going the Way of the Dinosaur / Companies / SME
By: Submissions
The term "business as usual" has always represented a slight misnomer, as the concept itself is dictated by economic, social and political conditions. So, success within this community will often depend upon one's ability to see what might be waiting around the corner. While all eyes are focused upon the Brexit and its potential long-term ramifications, not all freelancers and entrepreneurs have taken a dim view on the eventual outcome. Why is this the case? Should they not be more concerned about the fiscal ramifications of such an unprecedented move? One of the main reasons why astute professionals will likely be able to weather the storm involves the growing presence of the online business community. What changes might this phenomenon have in store? Are traditional models no longer viable? How can freelancers take full advantage of the opportunities at their disposal?
