    PYPL stock

    Posted: 30 Nov 2021 05:25 PM PST

    Paypal (PYPL) lost ~50% of its value over the last ~3 months. It seems like the stock is currently underpriced. The large majority (~90%) of top notch analyst recommendations are a buy. If the stock is currently undervalued, however, why is it keeping dropping nonstop for such a long period of time? Are there any explanations or is it just driven down by the entire market?

    In my opinion, the stock is a strong buy that could potentially lead to ~100% of return.

    But is it too good to be true? Am I missing something? Do you think now it's the right time to buy this stock? If yes, why? If no, what would you expect its bottom price to be?

    All comments and opinions are welcome. Thank you!

    PsychoMarket Recap - Tuesday, November 30, 2021

    Unfortunately, after a brief bounce in the market yesterday, volatility resumed as market participants continue to contemplate the potential impact of the new coronavirus 'Omicron' variant and new comments by newly re-elected Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Since the new variant was discovered last week, the S&P 500 (SPY) erased all its November gains and the Dow Jones (DIA) closed its worst month since April 2020, down more than 4%.

    Some Notable Numbers Today

    • S&P 500 (SPY): -1.87%
    • Nasdaq (QQQ): -1.44%
    • Dow Jones (DIA) -1.77%
    • SPY Bank ETF: -2.24%
    • VIX: +15.51%
    • AAPL: +3.24%

    J. Pow's latest remarks before the Senate Banking Committee spooked the markets, after he said he would back off from using the word "transitory" to describe rising inflation. This is very notable because the Central bank has been using the T-word since the beginning of the year, when it warned that steep differences in year-over-year comparisons and supply-chain bottlenecks would lead to elevated inflation.

    Powell said, ""We tend to use [the word transitory] to mean that it won't leave a permanent mark in the form of higher inflation. I think it's probably a good time to retire that word and try to explain more clearly what we mean."

    Originally, Central Bank officials hoped inflation would begin moderating in the second-half of 2021, something that has not happened. Instead, prices rose 6.2% in October, the fastest annual rise in the Consumer Price Index since 1990. The Personal Consumption Expenditures, which serve as the Fed's preferred measure of inflation came in 5% higher. Powell said the "risk of higher inflation has increased," but reiterated that his baseline expectation is for inflation to fall closer to the central bank's 2% target over the course of 2022.

    Adding salt to the wound, vaccine makers released new, less optimistic commentary regarding how effective existing vaccines are against the new Omicron variant. Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel said their current vaccine would likely see a "material drop" in effectiveness against the Omicron variant.

    He said, "There is no world, I think, where [the effectiveness] is the same level we had with [the] Delta [variant]. I think it's going to be a material drop. I just don't know how much because we need to wait for the data. But all the scientists I've talked to . . . are like, 'This is not going to be good'."

    https://www.ft.com/content/27def1b9-b9c8-47a5-8e06-72e432e0838f

    Both Pfizer and Moderna have said they were collecting data on the Omicron variant and that more definitive information would be available in the coming weeks. Researchers have not yet determined whether the new variant is more easily transmitted, or responsible for more severe illness, than previous versions of the virus.

    Vivek Paul, BlackRock Investment Institution Chief Investment Strategist said, "Information is coming rapidly, it's evolving in real-time. You can understand why investors [last week] were taking a little bit of a pause, particularly given the liquidity situation we had going into the U.S. holiday season. We think on balance, it would make sense to be invested in the markets at this moment in time. It's all about understanding whether or not this is a delay, or a derailment, of the restart that we've seen. And it seems most likely at this moment — notwithstanding more information to come— that it looks like a delay." I agree, it's important to acknowledge risks present in the markets but it is not time to panic yet, we simply do not have enough information yet.

    Highlights

    • Amazon (AMZN) introduced two new custom designed computer chips aimed at competing with data center chips from Intel (INTC), NVIDIA (NVDA), and AMD.

    • Jack Dorsey announced he will be stepping down as CEO of social media Twitter (TWTR), giving the lead role to Chief Technology Officer Parag Agrawal. In my opinion, this is good news for Twitter, given they will now have more focused leadership. Dorsey, who is also the CEO of Square (SQ) has a lot on his plate.

    (11/30) Tuesday's Pre-Market Stock Movers & News

    Posted: 30 Nov 2021 05:54 AM PST

    Good morning traders and investors of the r/StockMarket sub! Welcome to the final trading day of November! Here are your pre-market stock movers & news on this Tuesday, November 30th, 2021-


    Dow futures are down more than 350 points as investors try to gauge the economic impact of omicron


    Stock futures tumbled in early Tuesday trading, reversing a Monday rebound on Wall Street as investors reassessed risks associated with the new omicron Covid variant.


    Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 390 points, or 1.1%. S&P 500 futures tumbled 0.9% and Nasdaq 100 futures shed 0.5%.


    The reversal came after Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel told the Financial Times that he expects existing vaccines to be less effective against the new variant. The CEO told the paper there could be a "material drop" in the current vaccines' effectiveness against this variant. Bancel told CNBC on Monday that it could take months to develop and ship an omicron-specific vaccine.


    Separately, Regeneron said its antibody treatment may have reduced effectiveness against omicron. Regeneron shares lost 3% in premarket trading.


    The 10-year Treasury yield fell further below 1.45% as investors worried about the economy slowing because of the new variant. The 10-year rate lost 9 basis points to 1.44% (1 basis point equals 0.01%). The yield on the 10-year Treasury was as high as 1.69% last week before Friday's drop below 1.5%.


    The futures move lower follows a volatile last few sessions as investors evaluate the omicron impact. The Dow lost 905 points on Friday, then rebounded by 237 points on Monday.


    Travel shares, which led Friday's drop and then gained on Monday, were taking hits once again in premarket trading Tuesday. Expedia Group fell 2.3%, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings tumbled 3.8% and American Airlines shares were off 3.3%.


    "We have to expect...that the scenarios, all scenarios, include discoveries of people in this country with omicron and talk that the vaccines don't work or if they did those who have had Covid have no immunity," wrote CNBC's Jim Cramer on Twitter Tuesday. "These all cause selling."


    Some leading pharma stocks also took a hit, with Moderna getting the worst of it as the stock decreased 4.2%. Pfizer, however, was one of the few companies to post gains on the S&P 500, rising 1.2%. Stay-at-home stock Netflix also rose, up 0.7% and videoconference leader Zoom saw shares climb 2.3%.


    Major averages rose to session highs on Monday after President Joe Biden said economic lockdowns are currently off the table and there will be no new travel restrictions.


    The new Covid variant, first detected in South Africa, has now been found in more than a dozen countries, causing many to restrict travel. The World Health Organization labeled the omicron strain a "variant of concern" on Friday when the Dow slid 900 points to suffer its worst day since October 2020.


    Covid symptoms linked to the omicron variant have been described as "extremely mild" by the South African doctor who first raised the alarm over the new strain. Still, the WHO said it will take weeks to understand how the variant may affect diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines.


    Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will tell the Senate Tuesday as part of his quarterly testimony on the pandemic that he believes that the omicron variant poses "downside risks to employment and economic activity." It also further complicates the inflation outlook, the Fed chief said in his prepared markets released Monday evening.


    "Greater concerns about the virus could reduce people's willingness to work in person, which would slow progress in the labor market and intensify supply-chain disruptions," Powell will say.


    The CBOE volatility index, also known as the VIX or Wall Street's fear gauge, declined during Monday's rally but still remained above 22. The gauge spiked 10 points above 28 at one point on Friday. The VIX was higher again on Tuesday.


    "This week will be instructive to see if the buy-the-dip approach by investors is still in play, or if markets are vulnerable to a more significant pullback," said Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide.

    Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO Tweet

    Posted: 30 Nov 2021 07:15 AM PST

    A tweet on Monday afternoon by Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk has investors wondering if an initial public offering could soon happen for SpaceX, Musk's aerospace company.

    Details: Trung Phan, a writer for The Hustle, tweeted in September a copy of a 2013 email that Musk wrote to employees about why he wants to keep SpaceX private. Musk responded on Monday with a tweet that read: "A lot has happened in 8 years."

    Background: Between Tesla and Dogecoin, Musk has the attention of many investors. If SpaceX went public, there would be a lot of investor interest.

    Numbers: SpaceX reached a $100 billion valuation after a 2021 secondary share sale, according to CNBC.

    Final Thoughts: The speculation regarding SpaceX's potential IPO won't stop, no matter what Musk tweets.
