| Total Household Debt Decreased in Q2 2020, Marking First Decline Since 2014 Posted: 06 Aug 2020 11:14 AM PDT https://www.newyorkfed.org/microeconomics/hhdc.html https://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/interactives/householdcredit/data/pdf/HHDC_2020Q2.pdf Credit card balances fell sharply, marking the steepest decline on record NEW YORK – The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Center for Microeconomic Data today issued its Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit, which shows that total household debt decreased by $34 billion (0.2%) to $14.27 trillion in second quarter of 2020. This marks the first decline since the second quarter of 2014 and is the largest decline since the second quarter of 2013. The Report is based on data from the New York Fed's Consumer Credit Panel, a nationally representative sample of individual- and household-level debt and credit records drawn from anonymized Equifax credit data. This latest report reflects consumer credit data as of June 30, 2020. Mortgage balances—the largest component of household debt—rose by $63 billion in the second quarter to $9.78 trillion. Mortgage originations, which include mortgage refinances, reached $846 billion, the highest volume seen since the refinance boom in 2013. Origination credit scores for mortgages increased notably in the second quarter of 2020. Reflecting the sharp decline in overall consumer spending due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related social distancing orders, credit card balances fell sharply by $76 billion in the second quarter. This was the steepest decline in card balances seen in the history of the data. Auto and student loan balances were roughly flat in the second quarter. In total, non-housing balances (including credit card, auto loan, student loan, and other debts) saw the largest drop in the history of this report, with an $86 billion decline. Aggregate delinquency rates dropped markedly in the second quarter, reflecting increased uptake of forbearances, which were provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Note that accounts in forbearance are typically marked as current on consumer credit reports. The share of mortgages in early delinquency that transitioned 'to current' rose to 61.1%, while there was a decline in the share of mortgages in early delinquency whose status worsened during Q2 2020. Like mortgages, credit cards, student and auto loans also showed lower transition rates into delinquency, likely reflecting the impact of government stimulus programs and various forbearance options for troubled borrowers. Approximately 7.0% of aggregate student debt was 90+ days delinquent or in default in Q2 2020 as compared to 10.8 % in Q1 2020. The sharp decline in student debt delinquency reflects a Department of Education decision to automatically qualify all federal student loans for CARES Act forbearances and report their status as current. "Protections afforded to American consumers through the CARES Act have prevented large-scale delinquency from appearing on credit reports and damaging future credit access" said Joelle Scally, Administrator of the Center for Microeconomic Data at the New York Fed. "However, these temporary relief measures may also mask the very real financial challenges that Americans may be experiencing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent economic slowdown." The New York Fed also issued an accompanying Liberty Street Economics blog post that examined key developments on consumer balance sheets, at a monthly frequency, in the period since the COVID-19 pandemic began. The Report includes a one-page summary of key takeaways and their supporting data points. Overarching trends from the Report's summary include: Housing Debt • Approximately 0.5% of current mortgage balances became delinquent in Q2 2020, as many borrowers enrolled in forbearance programs. • Approximately 24,000 individuals had a new foreclosure notation added to their credit reports between April 1 and June 30. This is the lowest level seen since the beginning of the report in 1999. Student Debt • Outstanding student debt stood at $1.54 trillion in the second quarter, roughly flat with the previous quarter. • Approximately 7.0% of aggregate student debt was 90+ days delinquent or in default in Q2 2020.[1] The sharp decline in student debt delinquency reflects a Department of Education decision to report current status on loans eligible for CARES forbearances. Account Closings, Bankruptcy Notations and Credit Inquiries • The number of credit inquiries within the past six months – an indicator of consumer credit demand – was at 127 million, a small decline from the previous quarter. A change in the treatment of inquiries for utility accounts may have also contributed to the decline. • Account openings declined by 15 million accounts to 203 million, the largest drop in the history of the series. Account closings ticked up slightly, with 210 million accounts closed within the past 12 months. [link] [comments]  |
| Toyota expects profit to drop 80% this year as virus saps car sales Posted: 06 Aug 2020 04:11 PM PDT Toyota Motor on Tuesday said it expects profit to drop 80% to its lowest in nine years, as Japan's biggest automaker grapples with the impact of the novel coronavirus which has sapped global demand for vehicles. Global automakers have begun to gradually resume operations factories after curbs on public movement prevented workers in many countries from commuting. But they face weak demand as job losses and concern about an economic downturn weigh on consumer spending. "The coronavirus has dealt us a bigger shock than the 2008 global financial crisis," Toyota President Akio Toyoda said at a live-streamed media briefing. "We anticipate a big drop in sales volumes, but despite that we are expecting to remain in the black. We hope to become a leader of the country's economic recovery." Toyota forecast an operating profit of 500 billion yen ($4.66 billion) for the year through March 2021, down 80% from 2.44 trillion yen in the year just ended. That would be its weakest profit since the 2011/12 financial year. [link] [comments]  |

The chronically unprofitable company lost $1.8 billion over the last three months, with its adjusted net revenues down 29 percent compared to Q2 of 2019. Even Uber's successful delivery business, which saw revenues grow 162 percent year over year, wasn't enough to buoy the company's finances. Gross bookings in its ride-hailing business fell 35 percent year over year to $10.2 billion. Most of that was in its mobility division, which fell 73 percent year over year. Meanwhile, gross bookings in its Uber Eats delivery business grew 113 percent year over year, thanks to increased demand for food deliveries. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2020 08:39 PM PDT I just took a look at Square stock... In a span of 4 months it shot from $40 to $150. Stuff like QQQ and VOO have also spiked by similar proportions. I don't know if this is bubble territory or what. Honestly I'm kind of fearful to continue buying stock like SQ, QQQ and so forth. Does the quote "be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful", mean that I should be fearful right now? and should I be DCAing into other index funds that people aren't buying...? For example the REIT ETF like VNQ is still down by 20% from its pre-covid prices. [link] [comments]  |

Is the market selloff of the highly exposed companies an opportunity to buy these stocks at undervalued prices? For example, Huawei accounts for something like 10% of Micron's sales.

| Rocket Companies (RKT) - S1 Decondensed Posted: 06 Aug 2020 11:51 PM PDT TLDR: S1 Financials Ending in March 31st are strong - 1.36B net rev, 1.26 net expenses -> 100M net profit ; Net assets 21.31B + 2.25B cash/cash equivalents ; Adjusted EBITDA 919M. Buy those shares, pick up the options in a couple of days when made available by the largest theta gang autists. PT (Based on Financials): $36 at 100M shares IPO @ 1:1 value. Bullish outlook PT: Hard to say, but they are Profitable w/ net positive Equity -> Fair value: $100-$120. Longer version for the "investors" that aren't playing Russian Roulette every day: Rocket Companies - flagship business Rocket Companies is the principal business with a diversified business holding including Rocket Mortgage as their flagship business ( further segmented into Quick Loans, Amrock, Rocket Loans, Rock Connections, and lowermybills domain) + Extension services (Rocket Auto + Rocket Loans). According to S-1 filings, their flagship Rocket Mortgage (RM for short) business as of June 2020 taps into a $2 trillion market, where it continues to grow it's market share from 1.3% in 2009 to 9.2% in Q1 of 2020. To date, RM has serviced $1 trillion in home loans. RM further expanded into Real estate, auto, personal lending market in order to stay diversified and maintain a stream of service for their clientele -> high customer retention and use of ancillary services. RM's primary mode of consumer engagement is via their App, which can process/qualify applicants entirely through the mobile platforms and integrates a string of complimentary services that allow customers to manage, review, and pay for their loans. In 2019, RM recorded 6.7 loans per month per production team member, beating the average 2.3 loans for competitors (Data via Mortgage Bankers Association). In 2020, in their first quarter, they achieved growth with 8.3 loans on average (a 20% year to year growth). Expenses: Since inception, Rocket Companies + holdings have spent $5B in advertising to lay a solid foundation and awareness to the public -> making them the largest provider of loans in the nation (they process significantly more loans than most traditional banks according to their S1 filing research data). Ad campaigns include partnerships with NCAA sporting events, PGA Tours, military charity events, Superbowl ads, etc. Company Health Overview + Market: Their business is extremely healthy, with 63% client retention across all services and 76% retention in refinance loan clients in 2019 -> roughly 3.5x the industry average for retention. In 2020, ytd average was 75% with COVID actually improving their business traffic + retention ( we will get into this later). 75% of their home loans customers are first-time homeowners, of which a majority are millennials -> increased chance of further business opportunities. RM online site, which began in 2016, have seen large jumps each year in visits. From 18.2 M in 2017 -> 59.4M in 2018 -> 73.8M in 2019. Their marketing is working. Because of diversification, their total addressable market is $5.5T, of which the percentage of total market share was not reported as averages can not be made across the different holdings. Imagine taking hold of just 2% of this market. COVID-19 Impact (The BIG One) Look, I know a lot of people are saying they are going to get rkt'ed (all puns intended) by covid via forbearances/foreclosures. Here are my findings in the S1: They actually experienced growth, and record numbers even in March-June. They reported that CARES Act had a negative impact on them, and as of June 30, 2020, the forbearance rate was 5.1% of total clientele loans. How did they mitigate damages? They increased liquidity, $2.6B in cash and $1.22B in undrawn lines of credit via major credit lenders. Leveraging a diversified holdings, Rocket Companies seems like they are going to be in good shape even with the worsening conditions as it pertains to loans and real estate. They stated in their S1 that liquidity and cash protection is their top priority. As of June 2020, they also negotiated a $1B in senior unsecured revolving credit w/ 3 year tenor with partnering companies. Financials (Balance Sheet Style): S1 Financials Ending in March 31st are strong - $1.36B net rev, $1.26 net expenses -> $100M net profit ; Net assets $21.31B + $2.25B cash/cash equivalents ; Adjusted EBITDA 919M Net liabilities $17.6B with Net Equity $3.64B Net Assets - Net Liabilities = Worth [link] [comments]  |

| INOVIO(INO) pharmaceuticals with an excellent candidate to vaccinate against covid-19 Posted: 06 Aug 2020 09:39 PM PDT Just wanted to bring this company to the forefront, they are very likely to solve the corona crisis going on. Their vaccine candidate INO-4800 uses a novel approach to stopping Covid using a DNA plasmid technology that is administered injection free. Latest trial on monkeys shows that it has a 'pristine' safety profile and produces protecting elements as far as 3 months after administration. This is vitally important, as a lot of the current front runners they have been testing are causing mild to severe side effects. Earnings report is this Monday. Other constituents with their candidates like NVAX have seen their sp rise sharply by 3418% in the past 3 months. Do your due diligence everybody. Highly recommend watching Dr.Kate Brodericks videos.

| Why is value investing dead? Maybe because people just don't like them.. thoughts and help please.. Posted: 06 Aug 2020 08:40 AM PDT Hi All - I want to learn on why and how value investing has been arb away in the market. What has driven this process? Is is CB policy, low rates, no or little inflation, fiscal policies, rise in passive? It would be really helpful if people can explain their thoughts. Why are people still banging on about value investing. I have come across many value funds who stick to the mantra about finding and investing cheap and quality companies - personally, it's a load of bull. Most continue to underperform. Maybe those so called value and quality are cheap for a reason? Maybe people/investor just don't like them and don't invest in them so they stay cheap? Much appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2020 09:34 AM PDT They just released amazing earnings and the switch is on track to beat the ps2 in lifetime sales! Everyone should be raving about this stock with the great balance sheet and the fact that animal crossing sold 20 MILLION copies in 3 months. The switch hardware sales have in fact doubled in every region from one year ago. Which means the growth has sped up (most likely due to corona) but I don't anticipate it to slow down soon. More users also makes more software sales which have been shown as well In total if I'm reading correctly Nintendo sold 50.43 million units of software vs Sony's last quarter were 18.5 million for first party games. Which means animal crossing alone sold more this quarter than all of Sony's first party games combined. Edit: i think it's also fair to point out that they are opening NintendoLand in Orlando and Japan [link] [comments]  |
| $ROKU - still a lot of bulls post Q2, but the bears seem to be winning today Posted: 06 Aug 2020 08:04 AM PDT The Bulls: RBC: "While we believe Roku's Ad platform is facing headwinds due to its considerable exposure to Brand advertising spend and its reliance on verticals like Casual Dining, Travel & Tourism, we are struck by the fact that ROKU just printed approx. 50% Y/Y Ad Revenue growth in (hopefully) the most COVID-impacted quarter. That will almost certainly be the strongest Q2 growth among the 'Net Ad Platforms, in our view. Roku is benefitting from the Small Numbers Law, but it is also fully exposed to arguably the fastest growing Ad Vertical today – OTT/CTV. The market was displeased with ROKU's lack of Q3 commentary, but the company did specifically state that one its most important Ad Revenue drivers – Active Users – was growing strongly QTD. We also view the decision to retain "Seattle" Steve Louden as CFO as a positive sign. ROKU remains one of our Top SMID Cap Longs." DA Davidson: "Consider company's announcement that CFO Steve Louden was not leaving Roku as the most significant one for the quarter, as we hold him in high esteem...Despite MAGNA's expectation of U.S. digital advertising is expected to decline 5% Y/Y, Roku posted impressive growth, while operating a historically cyclical business model through the pandemic. Monetized video ad impressions grew approximately 50% in the second quarter, as Roku continues to see the benefits of its in-house DSP, dataxu. While the company did not provide any cadence of sales trends in the second quarter or July, we suspect, based on other companies that have reported (Pinterest and Quotient Technology) that monthly sequential advertising demand is increasing, with more advertisers "turning back on" ad impressions." Needham: "Roku's most important upside value driver in 2Q (our view) was its ecosytem growth at 3.2mm new adds, reaching 43mm Active Accounts (ie, 50% of US Connected TV homes) at 6/30/20. Plus Roku sold an additional 3mm sticks to existing Roku homes which raises LTV because more ads are viewable on additional TVs inside a home. We also liked ROKU's revenue stream diversification in 2Q20, especially its doubling q/q of recurring revenue from SVOD sign ups and TVOD revenue. Risk falls as revenue diversification rises, and/or revs become more predictable. We raise our estimates and PT based on valuation multiple upside as Roku's revenue mix becomes more predictable and diversifies." Oppenheimer: "We increase our PT to $185 (was $140) and maintain our Outperform as 2Q results topped Street expectations on better than anticipated Platform results and comp valuations have expanded. Platform revenue/gross profit exceeded Street by 11%/12%, with platform revenue +31%E Ex. dataxu on stronger video ad sales, with new clients +40% y/y. While management isn't providing guidance, it sees strong July player sales, and highlighted returning sports as a catalyst for VMPD subscription revenue to rebound. Easier 3Q licensing revenue comps and expanding relationship with key OEM partner TCL to international markets should reduce investor concerns. Full launch and adoption of OneView Ad Platform could prove upside to 4Q/2021." The bears: Morgan Stanley: "2Q results were broadly in-line, with strong consumer adoption driving account growth and player sales, but a sequential deceleration in Platform revenue growth due to the broader advertising environment. A premium valuation, rising ecosystem tensions, and below consensus '21 estimates leave us UW." Pivotal: "ROKU beat our 2Q expectations (which were published May 7th and did not factor in the clear improvement in the pace of advertising declines in June + the massive NFLX (BUY) subscriber beat). ROKU reasonably did not provide any guidance for the balance of '20 given uncertainty in the advertising environment but talked about relatively "exceptional" advertising results. During 2Q, ROKU management intelligently took advantage of the clearly rich valuation as they disclosed, an effective $350M equity secondary offering at the market price at the time. ROKU also re-stated its streaming hours downward materially based on a mismeasurement that it said it has corrected." [link] [comments]  |

| Risk/Reward of stocks vs options Posted: 06 Aug 2020 05:04 PM PDT I understand that an investor who buys a sufficiently diverse number of stocks, over a sufficiently long enough time period will probably turn a profit, statistically speaking. Most stocks go up, most of the time. I don't totally understand options pricing, but I see that the Black Scholes model includes the risk free rate of return. Does that imply that the risk free interest rate is baked into the options pricing as the most likely, expected outcome? Does the same positive bias in stocks extend to options contracts? Asked another way, would an options trader who makes bullish trades have any statistical advantage over an options trader who makes bearish trades? (on a risk adjusted basis) [link] [comments]  |
| Silver miners vs silver price - what to bet on? Posted: 06 Aug 2020 09:31 AM PDT Little more then a month ago I split my silver ETF (Ishares silver) up and invested in silver mining companies for 2/3 and left 1/3 in following the silver price (Ishares Silver). Was I wrong to assume that, if a solid mining company, would rise with higher silver prices? Now one month later, Ishares has way more growth than my mining shares - is that because the price of silver has risen so sharply that it hasn't affected the mining industry yet or am I too late to go into mining (many have had a good run this past year) and should I go back to the silver with possible 2+x increase over the next year??
