    Amazon founder Bezos' divorce final with $38 billion settlement: report

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 06:19 AM PDT

    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-people-bezos/amazon-founder-bezos-divorce-final-with-38-billion-settlement-report-idUSKCN1U1011

    (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) founder Jeff Bezos' divorce from his wife of 25 years, MacKenzie Bezos, was finalized by a Seattle-area judge on Friday, paving the way for her to receive $38.3 billion worth of Amazon stock, Bloomberg reported.

    In April, Amazon, the world's biggest online retailer, said in a filing that 4% of its outstanding stock or 19.7 million shares would be registered in MacKenzie Bezos' name after court approval of the divorce.

    The couple announced their plan to divorce in a joint Twitter statement in January, causing some to worry that Jeff Bezos could wind up with reduced Amazon voting power or that he or MacKenzie would liquidate large position.

    Thoughts on alcohol companies?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 02:03 PM PDT

    Looking at companies like BUD, STZ, BF, TAP, and DEO. Most pay good, safe dividends and are involved in a growing industry that will likely be around for a long time. As drugs such as weed become legal around the world, there will be less focus on regulating alcohol sales and production because governments will be focused on another industry.

    thoughts on ITCI? Recent news hypes potential double in price

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 01:40 PM PDT

    I don't want to make a position in a company I know nothing about based on sheer hype. Solid down trend no signs of reversal. Any insight? Past experience? I'm thinking potential opportunity for a quick swing trade but I've still got some digging to do.

    ticker CEI, thoughts? why the sudden volume

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 01:28 PM PDT

    I don't know much about this industry or this company. I'm curious why the sudden volume increase? Is this just the result of a stock dropping so drastically? Lower price more movement? As a new trader I keep seeing this and my first thought is "high volume must be a good thing" but I know better. I mean this company is not making any sort of comeback...right?

    Beyond the meat stocks

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 11:17 AM PDT

    What do you think of the of market capitalization of beyond meat? (9 billions)

    I it too high for this company? Macdonald, who is a safe and consolidate company and it does not sell only vegan food, it has 169 billion in capitalization. Don't you think BYM (beyonf meat) it's a bit overrated at the moment? Wouldn't it be better to wait for it to come down?

    I have another question, was it not possible to buy this share at the IPO price? Only the big speculators could participate?

    Trades with only one share?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 10:05 AM PDT

    I've noticed some transactions with 1 share(~30$) only, usually accompanied by a price jump. Since this isn't economic considering the fees and trend needs a reasonable volume, what's the point of these trades?

    Sorry if this is a stupid question with an obvious answer.

    Wall Street Week Ahead for the trading week beginning July 8th, 2019

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 09:46 AM PDT

    Good afternoon and happy Saturday to all of you here on r/stocks. I hope everyone on this subreddit made out pretty nicely in the market this past week, and is ready for the new trading week ahead.

    Here is everything you need to know to get you ready for the trading week beginning July 8th, 2019.

    The week ahead: Powell's testimony could make or break the stock rally - (Source)


    Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has the opportunity to reinforce market expectations for a late July rate cut or rein them in when he speaks to Congress in the week ahead.


    Powell testifies before the House Financial Services Committee Wednesday and at the Senate Banking Committee Thursday, and is expected to answer questions on the economy and Fed policy.


    His testimony comes after a strong June jobs report raised questions about whether the Fed will actually cut rates this month. The U.S. economy added 224,000 jobs last month, easily topping a Dow Jones estimate of 165,000. The report sent the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield back above the key 2% level. The dollar also rallied against a basket of currencies, pressuring commodities like gold.


    The report was "stronger than expected, but with an accompanying -11k in revisions the job gains were nothing to derail the Fed's anticipated cut in 26 days," Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO Capital Markets, wrote in a note. The Fed next decides on rates on July 31.


    In the coming week, the market also has other places to look for clues on Fed policy, including in the Fed's minutes from its last meeting, after which it suggested it could cut rates if it needs to. Those minutes are released Wednesday afternoon. There is also important consumer price index inflation data Thursday and producer level inflation data on Friday, when PPI is reported.


    But Powell's comments to Congressional committees could clarify whether the Fed is on course to cut interest rates later this month, as widely expected.


    "It's not clear to me the data are going to create a screaming case one way or the other. What it comes down to, is the Fed able to validate the market's dovishness here?" said Stephen Stanley, chief economist at Amherst Pierpoint. "The one thing that has characterized Fed communications over the last month or six weeks is they're just not willing to commit to anything ahead of time."


    Hopes for a rate cut have sent bond yields lower and supported stocks this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite hit all-time highs. The tech sector rose more than 1% to a record as well, while the communications services sector surged more than 2%.


    Economists say the markets would see a violent swing if Powell doesn't stay on track for a rate cut. The fed funds futures market is pricing in one full quarter point rate cut and a little more for July.


    "I personally don't see the case for an ease right now," said Stanley. "Do they passively accept the market's verdict or do they push back, in that they're not fully on board with an ease right now? It would be easy to realign the market's expectations. Powell speaks next week and that would be the perfect opportunity if they were so inclined."


    Stanley said such a move would upset the stock market and weaken financial conditions, something the Fed would not want to do. But there is not a unanimous view about interest rate moves on the Fed either. Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester said this week that rates should be kept where they are for awhile. On the other hand, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard dissented at the June meeting because the Fed did not cut interest rates.


    Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton, said a change in tone from Powell would be disruptive and unlikely. "There are other people trying to figure out what is the right thing to do right now, and there's no easy answer," said Swonk. "Jay Powell has made up his mind, and he doesn't want to be on the wrong side of a recession."


    Swonk said she expects the Fed to cut interest rates by a quarter point at the end of the month. "All you need is uncertainty. You've got that. You need inflation running low. You got that. You need wages not accelerating rapidly. You've got that," she said. "You've got all these things lining up."


    Some economists expect a half point cut, but Swonk said that would be too much since the Fed does not really have a lot of ammunition, given that the fed funds rate range is 2.25 to 2.50%. "They want insurance, but they don't want to give away the house," she said.


    Besides the Fed, investors will begin to think second quarter earnings season in the week ahead. Pepsico is a big name releasing its report Tuesday, ahead of the flood of reports from banks and others in the following week.

    Jumbo First Half Gains Usually Continue After a Pause

    The market just put on its best first half performance for the Dow since 1999, the S&P 500 since 1997 and NASDAQ since 2003 – and that's a pretty decent omen that market will tack on additional gains. Performance below following first-half Dow and S&P 500 gains greater than 7% and NASDAQ Composite gains greater than 10% shows a solid history of gains for the second half – after a tepid market action in Q3.

    Modest gains of about 1% continue into July, but gains little ground during the rest of Q3, which should come as no surprise given the infamous negative history of August and September. On average the market was unable to match first half gains during the second, though the across-the-board 7+% gains over from July to December is still solid. The Dow's second half win ratio following jumbo gains like 2019 is a rather impressive 85.3% – S&P's win ration is 80.0%, NAS 73.9%. Full-year gains are virtual lock.

    S&P 500 Sector Weightings: Mid-Year 2019

    Below is an updated snapshot of S&P 500 sector weightings as of mid-year 2019. As shown, the Technology sector makes up the largest slice of the pie with a weighting of 21.48%. Health Care ranks as the second largest sector of the market at 14.20%, followed by Financials at 13.07%. The fact that technology and two service-oriented sectors making up nearly 50% of the index shows how much the US economy has shifted over the years. After the "big three" of Tech, Health Care, and Financials, we move down to Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, and Industrials, which are all right around 10%. Consumer Staples has a weighting of 7.27%, and Energy is all the way down to 5.05% after years of losing share. Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials combine to add up to roughly 9% of the index, so these three sectors are basically immaterial at this point.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    Below is a chart showing how much weightings changed in the first half of 2019. The Technology sector gained 1.33 percentage points while Health Care lost 1.23 percentage points, so the gap between the biggest sector (Tech) and the 2nd biggest sector (Health Care) widened by more than 2.5. Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, Real Estate, Materials, and Communication Services all gained share in the first half as well, while Energy, Financials, Consumer Staples, and Utilities all lost share along with Health Care.

    Most Heavily Shorted S&P 500 Stocks

    Below is a list of the 29 stocks in the S&P 500 that have more than 10% of their share float sold short. Luxury retailer Nordstrom (JWN) currently tops the list with 22% of its float sold short. The stock is down 33.86% YTD and 55% from levels seen last November.

    Tax-prep company H&R Block (HRB) is the second most heavily shorted stock with 20.55% of its float sold short. HRB is followed by sports retailer Under Armour (UAA), Snap-On (SNA), and Kohl's (KSS). While JWN and KSS are both down big YTD, HRB, UAA, and SNA are all up nicely on the year.

    There are plenty of other notables on the list, including Macy's (M), Campbell Soup (CPB), TripAdvisor (TRIP), Gap (GPS), Western Union (WU), and Foot Locker (FL), but one common characteristic among many of them is that they are retailers.

    On average, these stocks with 10%+ short interest as a percentage of float are up 8.5% on the year, which is well below the 17% gain that the S&P 500 has seen.

    Yield Curve Craters

    With the 10-year plummeting below 2% again and the 3-month yield spiking up by over 7 basis points (bps), which is its biggest one day gain since December 2017, the yield curve is cratering today. Today's 11 bps move further into inverted territory is the biggest one-day move since January 2nd (see second chart). While not back at new lows, today marks the 29th day that the curve has now been inverted. In Fedspeak news, Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester (who leans hawkish but isn't a voter) just noted in a speech that she's in no hurry to cut. She argues that "Cutting rates at this juncture could reinforce negative sentiment about a deterioration in the outlook even if this is not the baseline view, and could encourage financial imbalances given the current level of interest rates, which would be counterproductive."

    What would cause her to change her stance? "If I see a few weak job reports, further declines in manufacturing activity, indicators pointing to weaker business investment and consumption, and declines in readings of longer-term inflation expectations, I would view this as evidence that the base case is shifting to the weak-growth scenario." A few weak job reports? In other words, she is in no hurry to take any action. Keep in mind, though, that as recently as late February, Mester was still of the view that the FOMC would need to be raising rates later on this year.

    Happy Birthday, And Another Record Goes Down

    "If you're looking for something to discuss at your barbecue while watching fireworks, be sure to mention this is now the oldest economic cycle in history at 121 months old," explained LPL Senior Market Strategist Ryan Detrick. That's right, this cycle just topped the previous record of 120 months from the 1990s technology boom.

    Although 10 years might sound old, keep in mind that developed markets tend to have longer cycles of economic growth. "Is 10 years really that old for an expansion? Maybe not, as Australia hasn't had a recession for nearly 28 years," according to Detrick. "Not to mention Canada, the U.K., Spain, and Sweden, which all have had at least 15 years of growth starting in the early 1990s and ending in 2008. Going even further back we see that France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, South Korea, Ireland, and China have all had at least 15-year-plus expansions since World War II."

    Emerging countries tend to see more of a boom-and-bust type of cycle while more developed nations can have longer-lasting periods of growth. In fact, it's plausible that the United States could have avoided a recession in 2001 if the 9/11 attacks had not happened, which would have produced a nearly 17-year expansion. So maybe 10 years isn't so old?

    As our LPL Chart of the Day, This Is Now The Longest Expansion Ever, shows, this is now the longest expansion ever. Additionally, over the decades as the United States turned into a developed nation, the cycles of growth tended to last longer. Thanks to the dual benefits of fiscal and monetary policy, we continue to expect this current cycle to have potentially years of growth left.

    Notable insider buying at Scorpio Bulkers and Entercom

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 03:30 AM PDT

    Scorpio Bulkers reported on Tuesday that its President, Robert Bugbee, purchased 125,000 stock at $4.58 in the open market. The timing of the purchase is interesting as

    1. The company is due to report earnings on July 22nd
    2. The purchase comes after a year of stock price declines from $7.55 that has put the company's valuation at $405 million compared to a book value of $858 million
    3. (and most importantly) the company owns 54.1 million shares in Scorpio Tankers that have increased by 55% to $164 million (compared to $107 million in Q1 reports)

    Thats a $57 million boost that should feed into the Q2 report in a couple of weeks. A meaningful amount for a $405 million company that should get noticed. (Please note this is a speculative small cap stock)

    Entercom merged with CBS Radio in 2017 to become the second biggest radio company in the US (after iHeartMedia Inc). Since then the company has disposed of $100 million non radio assets and should realize about $45 million of merger related synergies this year. On Tuesday Barron's reported a 200,000 acquisition of shares by its chairman Joe Field along with the memorable quote that "I am buying the stock because it is deeply undervalued and does not reflect the company's strong and growing free cash flow and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, its 6% dividend yield or its strong competitive position and growth opportunities"

    Mr Field has always been a big fan of his company, a sentiment that is not shared by the market in general given the stock price is down 23% this year, but sports betting and the Presidential election should provide a boost to revenues over the next couple of years and at current levels the stock looks cheap.

    This is not a recommendation to buy or sell. Stocks are not suitable for all investors. Small cap stocks have elevated risks. Please do your own research.

    What % of your total assets do you invest in stocks?

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 08:33 AM PDT

    Currently I have about 30% of my money in stocks/etfs and always try to have something in the range 15%-30%. The remaining 70% is invested in bonds, gold, bank deposits, real estate and p2p loans.

    Of course it depends on several aspects, as age (currently 33), but in short, what's your opinion?

    Accumulation / Distribution Line

    Posted: 06 Jul 2019 07:46 AM PDT

    Can anybody give me an example or examples of stocks whose PPS was in a sustained (significant) downtrend for a long period of time while the Accumulation / Distribution line was in a (significant) uptrend during the same time period?

    My understanding is that this type of occurrence represents bullish divergence, and could predict a turnaround for said stock in the future. Any examples?

    Just Started Investing - Best Stock Analysis? (And other questions!)

    Posted: 05 Jul 2019 05:19 PM PDT

    Hello everyone!

    This is my first post on Reddit actually. Recently started saving up some money due to finally getting into a salary job. Invested in my first 3 stocks this week. A few questions:

    1. Favorite (preferably free) websites (or apps) for buy/sell analysis? Currently, stockinvest.us, Zacks, and NASDAQ's website. Honestly, just looking for a site or sites that combine the most analysts buy/sell ratings.

    2. As of right now, only planning to invest a around $3000-$4000 per year. And most of that will be during a major market correction. I hadn't gotten into investing during the last one in December. I know these don't necessarily happen once per year even, but that's generally when I'm waiting to do most of my investing. I have some industries, stocks, and ETF's that I'm interested in and checking on the daily. Thoughts?

    3. Current stocks I'm invested in:

    5 shares of BMY at $45.74 per share. $228.70 total.

    5 shares of USNA at $61.85 per share. $309.25 total.

    12 shares of KLDO at $8.63 per share. $103.56 total.

    All were near their 52-week lows and I feel good about their potential based on my research. Would love any advice you all have about selling. I am young, willing to take higher risks, and happy to let stocks ride for longer if I believe long-term growth is there.

    Finally, so you don't think I'm only doing the high risk/high reward thing, I also plan to invest $6000 per year into a Roth IRA.

    Even if you just want to comment on one part of this post, it is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Reddit!

    Swing trading, how do you deal with pre-market and immediate dips at market open?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2019 03:23 PM PDT

    I was in "WDAY" from about 211.52 on July 1st when it confirmed an uptrend bouncing off the SMA and set a sell target at 218. I held and today I noticed as soon as the market opened it immediately dropped over $2 from 217 and then several minutes later it was already at 212, dropping below the short term SMA, so I just decided to sell to prevent further loss. It's back at 216 now after climbing up the rest of the day and I'm wondering what I could have done better and how I can learn from this?
