    Can Wall Street limit the losses coming from the conflict in Ukraine?

    Posted: 06 Mar 2022 11:33 PM PST

    Risk-off trading looks like it'll continue to weigh on global equity markets as the war in Ukraine intensifies. Yet, despite the S&P500 falling 0.8% last week, the overall US market significantly outperformed the major European indices, with the DAX, CAC, and STOXX50 all shedding over 10%.

    This is to be expected given the geographical proximity of these markets to the conflict, as the EU is likely to bear the immediate brunt of any spillovers. However, a quick look at the DAX shows that the this isn't just traders closing out long positions and taking profits. The fall in prices has occurred with volume rising to its highest since the March 2020 crash, indicating that bears are in full control.

    On the other hand, $SPX managed to avoid a weekly close below 4300, maintaining the key support level coming from the latter half of 2021, signaling strong demand and investors potentially looking to add to their positions around the current levels. S&P500 futures currently point to a lower open today, and the index is likely to continue testing this support over the week. However, if geopolitical developments within the coming days show an increased likelihood of the conflict being contained to the region, it could really accelerate the US market's outperformance against its European counterpart.

    Of course, all trading carries risk, but it should be interesting to see how this plays out through the week.

    Morning Update for Monday, 3/7/22

    Posted: 07 Mar 2022 06:15 AM PST

    Good morning everyone, hope you had a nice weekend.

    These posts are for informational purposes only. I am not a financial advisor.

    Main Watchlist:

    Gapping UP:

    • CVX: Potential support levels at 160 and 158.50. If it can hold up over the 160 level before market open I'll be looking for opportunities to go long. Possible trade long 161.40->161.90. It's come down quite a bit off premarket highs though, so we'll see what things look like closer to market open.
    • SHEL: Possible trade short on break under 51.50->51.02. Better opportunities to go long elsewhere, upward resistance on the daily chart.
    • OXY: Potential support level at 60. Will look for opportunities to go long if it holds up before market open, short opportunities if it's showing weakness.
    • MXC: Potential support at 28. Resistance at 32.
    • BBBY: Premarket support just under the 26 level. Will want to see it find support after market open before trading. Gonna be seeing a lot of attention.
    • UVXY: Will be watching to trade on SPY weakness. Will be watching SPY breakdown below 430 support depending on where it's at closer to open. Long UVXY on the breakdown.

    Gapping DOWN:

    • BA: Potential support at 177.50. Potential resistance at 180. Short on breakdown below support, long on the break over resistance. Short target 176.50, long target 181.40.
    • BABA: Potential support level at 99, short on breakdown below 99->98.10.
    • MRNA: Potential resistance at 140. Gonna let it settle after market open, but daily chart is looking bearish.
    • UAL: Potential resistance at 36. Daily chart looking bearish after breaking down below support on Friday. If we don't see a strong bounce, I'll be looking for more weakness. Could retrace towards 32 support.
    • RCL: Going to look at shorting opportunities down towards 65 support. Possible short on breakdown below 67->65.50.
    • C: Potential premarket support at 55, will look to short on breakdown if it sees weakness. Better opportunities to go long elsewhere.
    • BAC: Potential premarket support at 40.25, will look to short on breakdown as well.
    • WFC: Potential premarket support at 47.75, same sentiment as previous 2.

    Momentum Watchlist:

    • HUSA
    • MARPS
    • IMPP
    • NINE

    Market Outlook:

    Stocks are looking to open a bit lower this morning, but we've recovered off premarket lows. At the time of writing, S&P Futures are down ~40 basis points, Dow Futures are down ~45 basis points, and Nasdaq Futures are down ~40 basis points. I'll be watching SPY support/resistance level at 430 this morning, will wait for things to settle a bit after open. I've been bullish on gold and crude oil the past few weeks and they have seen a considerable run up in that time. Still bullish on gold, gonna hit that 2,000 level soon. Crude oil is up but has come down off the highs from Sunday evening; likely to stay volatile today and throughout the rest of the week. Worth continuing to monitor the Russia-Ukraine situation, Putin can go suck a fat one. Energy stocks are up in premarket but it's worth noting they've come down from premarket highs. Definitely worth watching closely today and throughout the rest of the week. Banks are seeing weakness and are looking bearish in the short-term as well. We could see a bounce here, but most have broken down below support levels. Could be a bad sign for the overall market if banks see continued weakness.

    Remember to use proper risk management; size appropriately for your account and have a plan for every trade you enter. Happy trading everyone :)

    ⛳️Trade Like a Lion Hunts⛳️

    ⛳️Trade Like a Lion Hunts⛳️

    Even though lions are the king of beasts, when hungry they do not run out onto the savannah and chase their prey randomly thinking that they will just chase it down and get their dinner.

    Lionesses hunt in packs and only go after the weakest wildebeest in a herd. They have a huge amount of patients waiting and watching for hours to find the best opportunity of chasing down prey that they can catch.

    https://preview.redd.it/4zt08lwnvwl81.png?width=544&format=png&auto=webp&s=b22f50db1bd03e6a4daf041a10217b1c58b4552b

    They look for the high probability of success before they give chase, the young, the slow, the old, or the sick are all their best candidates for dinner. They do not waste time and energy in low probability chases they strike where they have the greatest advantage.

    Individual traders have the edge of choice and waiting, while the big money funds have the pressure of putting capital to work and monthly performance for their investors.

    Also, mutual funds have to be close to fully invested most of the time and have to diversify themselves into oblivion not really getting much bang for their buck on any one position.

    We do not have the same pressures, we can wait, we can be patient, we can strike only when we have the most advantage and best odds of being right. We can trade like a lion hunts so we don't end up being the weakest wildebeest ourselves.

    Overvalued stock market

    Posted: 06 Mar 2022 05:55 PM PST

    Recently got into stock investing and would like to clarify some points. Is it true that the stock market is very overvalued right now? I was reading a book that discussed price-earnings multiple. So I went to search up some of the top companies in QQQ/S&P500 and realised that many stocks are priced more than 20x its actual EPS. For example mcdonald's has a stock price of $235 but EPS of only $10+. Is this (based on historical trends or rationality) considered overvalued in the stock market? What do yall think about this and would there be a chance that the overall stock market falls to a more "rational" price in the near future? thanks!!

    Is it hard for new exchanges to find people to market make for them?

    Posted: 06 Mar 2022 09:45 PM PST

    For example, there are exchanges where people can trade based on sporting events. These exchanges are looking for people to market make. I am thinking that the reason they don't do it themselves is that they are scared that they will get dominated by institutions and other sharp groups. So in that case, what benefit would a smaller firm have in regards to providing liquidity and market making?

    Financially it seems like something really hard to make money on, and instead these smaller firms will probably just be thrown out to the wolves. On the flip side if the smaller market making firms can manage risk, they can maybe raise money (bc they are now regulated mm's), offer to market make for other exchanges, and grow, etc.

    Could use some advice for switching mutual funds.

    Posted: 06 Mar 2022 12:53 PM PST

    My brokerage [CIBC Investors Edge] in Canada has informed me that "there will be a planned transition of mutual fund units to fund classes or series where no trailing commission ("zero trailer funds") is paid by the fund manager to CIBC Investor's Edge" - because of regulatory changes.

    My current fund is a monthly income fund but i need to switch to something that has higher growth potential, and i'm willing to manage some higher risk. It will be for the longer term; about 5-10 years, and i'm not looking to manage it.

    I'm looking at a few index funds that track either the Nasdaq 100 or the S&P 500. Not really sure where to go with it as i play the market a little and the fund is just for year over year accumulation. I was given a list by the brokerage and was looking at:

    CIBC NASDAQ 100 INDEX FUND F

    TD NASDAQ INDEX FUND E

    INVESCO NASDAQ 100 INDEX ETF [QQC/F:CN]

    FIDELITY HIGH QUALITY INDEX ETF FUND SERIES F

    There's also some S&P 500 index funds and a thousand other miscellaneous - i would appreciate any ideas - and of course i will research and make a decision myself. I'm an old rock musician with no pension so i need to try to grow my little nest egg as much as possible over the next 10 years. Thanks

    Here's a link to the list LIST OF FUNDS

    Bonds are undervalued

    Posted: 06 Mar 2022 08:15 AM PST

    Disclaimer

    This is a speculative trading theory. I am looking for feedback in my reasoning. I am not encouraging anyone to follow me into this trade.

    Background

    The Federal Reserve announced that they will begin to raise interest rates in March of 2022. This is outlined here in their December report. The main item to pay attention to is table one on page two.

    Note the FFR median value for 2022 of 0.9%

    The bottom row shows expectations for the Federal Funds Rate (FFR) from 2021 through 2024 and beyond. The FFR is the rate that is classically being talked about when the topic is around the Fed raising or lowering interest rates. The FFR is currently sitting at 0.1% which is historically incredibly low. The last sequence of interest rate increases happened between late 2015 and the start of 2019 where it went from a familiar 0.1% up to approximately 2.4% at its peak. Look at table one again, you can see that the median long run FFR is 2.5% which mirrors the last sequence.

    The previous rate hiking season from 2015 to 2019

    Current Situation

    The Fed's plan for 2022 paves the way for at least three interest rate hikes of 25 basis points each, with a potential fourth if the outlook worsens. This would leave the FFR somewhere between 0.85% and 1.1% with the median expected value being 0.9%. Futures can be used to gauge what the market thinks is going to happen in terms of expected bond prices. Here is an overview of what futures are expecting. You might notice that the futures market is expecting rates to be around 1.3% in one years' time, and 1.8% in two years' time. I took these expectation graphs and added lines that show where the Fed claims the value should end up. That chart is better at illustrating the point but is behind on futures expectations. Here is a page that shows the expectations of futures and updates live. This page is showing that somewhere around 1.6% interest rates are expected by the end of December of 2022 while the Fed maintains a 0.9% goal.

    This is slightly outdated but visually shows a great point

    People are often scared of going against the market. How can all of that money managed by people with nearly unlimited resources be so wrong? There are a variety of reasons, but I'm not sure they even matter. The point is that they are very often wrong. The market almost always over or under reacts compared to the Fed's official policy. In this case there is an overreaction to the amount that interest rates will need to be raised. I think most of this is driven by misinformed ideas on inflation.

    This is also outdated but also visually shows a great point

    I think the single most likely outcome of this is that the Fed sticks to its plan. There's a significant number of people who think inflation is a massive problem and that the only way to deal with it is to crank up interest rates severely. Thankfully the Fed is run by people smarter than that. They are going to try to walk the line of increasing rates while keeping the economy from having a recession or the market from having a severe crash. Everything in this strategy outline requires that you believe:

    · The most likely outcome is that the Fed sticks with their interest rate hiking plan

    · Inflation is not going to cause surprise additional hikes beyond 4 for 2022

    · The market is often wrong when it comes to determining rate changes

    · The market is factoring in too many rate hikes now

    Conclusion

    I'm not here to convince you to believe these things. These are the things I believe, and I am confident I can defend my beliefs, but that's not the point. The point is that if all of these are true, bonds are severely undervalued. Bond prices go up when interest rates go down, and so when interest rates are expected to be high bond prices are expected to be low. However, if interest rates end up being lower than expected then it follows that bond prices will end up being higher than expected. This will require them to increase in price until the new expectations are met. I am not an expert in bond math and if anyone out there is, I would love your help in putting a number to this theory. How much could you expect a bond index like TLT to increase if there end up being 3 hikes instead of the expected 6?

    Position

    I will be buying OTM TLT call debit spreads for the foreseeable future. My main portfolio is described here.

    What metrics do you use to rebalance portfolio?

    Posted: 06 Mar 2022 08:54 AM PST

    I have been comparing stocks performance to understand if I must rebalance or not a portfolio. For each company, I decided then to have a look at EBITDA margin %, EPS growth rate % CAGR 3-years, return on capital invested %, and compare these values with market players in same sector, just to figure if the stock has been profitable.

    When comparing Nomad Foods, it seems the company has failed with EPS growth, ROIC and EBITDA margin when compared to other companies. I checked the buy/sell signal, and how come could tradingview statistics (1 month) tell us to sell and other sites (yahoo finance, msn money, etc) tell us to buy?

    I also have been checking intrinsic value, Fair value 10-year DCF Gordon growth exit. And the Nomad stock priced USD 22 has a fair value of USD 17. Should we use a DCF growth exit metric to decide selling a stock when its current price gets greater than fair value?

    And you, what metrics do you use to rebalance your stock portfolio, mainly to know when to sell a stock?

    Problem is Wall Street....and maybe you too.

    Posted: 06 Mar 2022 09:12 AM PST

    Corporate America and Wall Street (i.e., Goldman Sachs, etc.) are trying to profit from war. Buying debt, they are giving a lifeline to Putin.

    I know many of you here are invested in the markets, options, currencies, whatever. Maybe it's opportunism...maybe it's trading addictions...I don't know. But unless you come together as one people and boycott the one thing that feeds the "corporate-complex" machine, understand that you too are helping Putin.

    I'd like to see a safe and promising future, but I think we all need to do the brave thing and not be so ambitious about making money in the markets. I'm worried that our greed is working against us here, and this war Russia is waging lives on because we help Wall Street make money off our dumb bets.
