REUTERS: Apple cuts first-quarter production plan for new iPhones by 10 percent: Nikkei

Apple Inc is cutting planned production for its three new iPhone models by about 10 percent for the March quarter, the Nikkei Asian Review reported on Wednesday, a week after the company slashed its quarterly sales forecast.

That rare step exposed weakening demand in China for Apple's iPhones amid a slowing economy, which has also been buffeted by a bruising trade war with the United States.

A Helpful Website

A friend showed me a website today: finviz.com. I had been looking for a website like this for a while, and was super excited to finally be able to use it. I highly recommend taking a look at the website if you don’t know what it is. It’s a website with a huge database of stocks that allows you to search for certain stocks with filters.

Storytime: My tragic relationship with $PCG

So after the wildfire, I suspected $PCG would rebound so I bought it at $22.00. After a week or two, it raised up to around $27 which was a 25% return. I was greedy and assumed that nothing else could go wrong. Out of nowhere, $PCG was caught falsifying records. It dropped to around $24 which still left me in a 10% return. I decided to be persistent and stick with it. And just recently, $PCG is now filing for bankrupty and is now at $19. So now I'm at a 10% deficit... I'm thinking of just pulling out now before it goes completely bankrupt... Any thoughts?

Significant Activist Hedge Fund Activity (Last 7 Days)

These are the latest Schedule 13D forms filed by activist investors in the last 7 days. Activist investors are investors that make an investment with the intention of influencing management in some way. There is evidence that following activist investors into investments can generate excess returns. Schedule 13G forms, in contrast, are filed by significant investors with no intention of influencing management (such as Index funds).

There is always a lot of interest in insider trades, but what a lot of people probably don't realize is that hedge fund activity is probably more predictive of future returns than insider activity. The reason is that hedge funds (a) have large research budgets, and (b) have a choice where to put their money. In contract, insiders have no choice where to put their money, but only when to time their transactions.

New Filings

This table lists new 13D filings in the last week. A new filing does not necessarily indicate a new position, as investors frequently accumulate in advance before reaching the filing threshold.

America is becoming one of the worlds biggest oil exporters. Does that make American oil companies a good buy?

I've been trying to wrap my head around this and could use some help.

The United States has gone from a net oil importer to a net oil exporter.

America is also not a member of OPEC and therefore doesn't have to follow their rules

Does this make American oil companies a good buy?

How does the price of oil affect US oil stocks? What about total supply and supply from other countries?

I'm looking at XOM and WTI but open to other suggestions

Significant Insider Trading Activity (Last 7 Days)

This is a list of the top 20 companies that experienced the largest change in insider shares in the last seven (7) days. The SEC defines an insider as any officer, director or 10% shareholder. It is not illegal for these people to buy or sell their own shares. In fact, since most of them get paid in stock options, it is expected. However, it is illegal for them to trade on inside information that has not been made public. So for example if there are drug trial results that are bad and not public, insiders cannot dump shares. That said, many people have observed that insiders - in general - seem to have a good track record at timing their purchases. All trades that are marked as part of a 10b5 plan are excluded from this report.

Analysis: Rally or Dead Cat Bounce?

Key Points

The question on every investor’s mind is whether the recent rally in stocks is a bottom or dead cat bounce. Positive sentiment has been pushing stocks higher as of late, but is it enough to call a bottom? 

A Santa Claus Rally, a “blowout” jobs report, and the Federal Reserve have made the case for stocks, and have pushed the S&P 500 up by more than 7.5% over the last couple of weeks. 

There is compelling technical evidence that suggests we may have found a bottom, but there is also strong evidence that suggests this is a dead cat bounce. Investors now find themselves in a similar situation like we had in November.

The Case for a Bottom

Like in November, sector rotation and performance are pointing to a bottom in the major indices. Every sector ETF has found a support, and some of them are considered very strong. Many cyclical sectors have fallen to key levels such as the breakout points immediately after the 2016 presidential election. If any of the sectors had hit these key levels during a mid-cycle correction, it would be an excellent time to open new positions. 

In addition, sector rotation is also showing signs of a bullish cycle. The cyclical sectors are moving in the lagging quadrant towards improving, and the defensive sectors are rotating towards the weakening quadrant. 

These are the beginning signs of a new bullish cycle, and if they follow through, it indicates investors are bullish on the future of the markets and economy. However, the stock market will need to clear some hurdles before we can call this a bottom and not a dead cat bounce.

The Bear Case: Dead Cat Bounce

The three major indices have broken key support levels, with the S&P 500 breaking two. The breakouts are significant because it represents a reversal from an uptrend into a downtrend. The major averages are a large representation of the market, and it takes a lot of conviction and breadth to cause such moves. 

It is a lot harder for the averages to make false signals because it requires a lot of coordination from sector and individual stock performance. Although, fake-outs will occur.

There are a few other signs telling us stocks are still headed for trouble. For one, breadth is still extremely low. The Dow Jones has the highest percentage of stocks above their 200-day moving average with only 33%. Elsewhere, we use inter-market technical analysis to understand how other parts of the investment markets are behaving. These other charts can either confirm or deny what we are seeing in the stock market. To do this, we look at U.S. Treasuries and gold.

Safe Haven Assets

Treasuries and gold are considered safe haven assets. Investors allocate to these when they are not only worried about the stock market, but when they are concerned with the future of the economy as well. If we were in a period of regular stock market volatility, we wouldn’t expect these assets to make significant moves, but that is what we are seeing.

The 2-year, 5-year, 10-year, and 30-year Treasuries have all broken support levels, and are now forecast to continue lower. This is a major development because it is a drastic change from 2017 and 2018, when interest rates were expected to rise. 

Interest rates are no longer expected to rise because the economy is weakening to a point where the Federal Reserve is expected to either halt rate hikes, or lower rates in the future. 

In addition, this drop in rates is occurring after Treasury yields hit a long-term resistance line. The last time this occurred was after the Dotcom bubble and the housing bubble (you can read my hypothesis that we are in a liquidity bubble here). This is not good news for stocks.

Gold is also making significant moves. It has broken a long-term trend line during this market rout. Again, this doesn’t occur unless there is legitimate fear about the future of the markets and the global economy.

Conclusion

Right now, the stock market is expected to continue to fall. The current signal came when the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the Nasdaq Composite all fell below their February lows. Additionally, the S&P 500 also broke its long-term uptrend. 

The current rebound is classified as a technical pullback, which is a common occurrence after a breakout. The supports and rebounds we are seeing in the sector ETFs are the reason the averages are pulling back. 

However, there is always the possibility the breakouts were false signals, and the major averages can rebound. If the indices can move back above their failed supports, the breakouts would be considered false, and we would expect stocks to continue higher.

What to Watch

  • Bullish if the major averages move past their February lows.
  •  Bearish if the major averages fail to move past February lows, and start to fall again. This would mean the current rally is a dead cat bounce. 
  • If this is a dead cat bounce, we can confirm it with the sector ETFs. Confirmation comes if the ETFs fall below their current support zones.

buying and selling in low quantity

hello,

I'm new to investing, i've been reading about the different kinds of securities that exist, and when i was reading about options, i got a doubt about buying stocks.

Is it easy/fast to buy/ sell stocks in low quantity?

EX: There is a order in the market to sell 100 shares at 20$. I wanna buy 30 shares at 20$. Is there a possibility to buy 30 shares out of the 100 shares order, or do i have to buy the total quantity of the order? (I know that is fully automatic process that my online broker does, its just to try to understand the process).

Sorry for the bad english translation, im asking this because i want to know how does it work to buy low volume of shares.

Thanks for the response!

High Quality Stocks Get Cheaper As Share Price Falls

Remember no matter how “good” a technician is, there is no way of knowing the direction of the market. There are ways to predict and guess based on statistics and odds, however geopolitical events and Tweets can blow up any chart. Remember when you invest not to let Mr. Market get the best of you! Fear and panic Have no role in investing, just buy high quality companies when it makes business sense.

What to expect from the stock market in 2019?

I think stocks overshot to the downside at the end of last year. So, I expect a further recovery in equities over the next couple of months.

However, problems are starting to pile up in the global economy and this run won't last. I've laid out my thoughts in this article.

Metric and Valuation Help

Hello, all!

I hope your portfolios are as green as the eye can see this week. For my question, as I am an amateur in looking at balance sheets, valuations, and metrics of ratio, I am seeing if there is a quick cheat sheet of a "healthy" examples of each aspect.

For example, EBITA, financial leverage, and the likes are hard for me to understand what a good number would be. Is a higher Enterprise/EBITA better than a lower one?

Any and all help in a website or reference guide on what healthy numbers should be would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Potential silly question - have all publicly traded companies ie common shares been the result of a past IPO?

I am new to investing, and I am now convinced that stocks are the long term choice as the best performing asset class... however I keep seeing people say “never buy an IPO” etc. Well, how did a company get on the stock exchange if they didn’t previously go public? What am I missing here? Or is the advice just something like - don’t immediately buy an IPO because it might drop. I am approaching this from a value-investing long term lens, ie don’t I want to get in as early as possible on what I think would be a future blue chip stock?

What happens to the corporate debt bubble after no deal brexit?

GE is dead in the water at this point, so if Barclays has a lot of their debt GE is screwed. On March 29 all of Barclay's EU assets are immediately frozen and they lose tons of worth. If they have GE's debt they demand it early. With a negative cash flow, low credit rating and debt that's more than 150% of the company's net worth GE can't pay it back. GE defaults.
Then other banks worry that other big companies can't pay them back. They panic and demand their money early. Those companies can't pay and they go under. and crisis ensues

Keep in mind this is clearly a worst case scenario, but something like this is actually a possibility. What do you think happens to the market?

tariffs.. does it really impact earnings/guidance or more of a myth

Say the congress enact a federal sales tax of 10%, do you really think company earnings nationwide would tank because of it?

And here we are, a 10% tariff which is essentially a federal sales tax, and it only applies to China, and some goods are still not even covered. And yet the market is spooked by trade wars because they think companies gonna miss earnings because of it.

Maybe people are just spooked by "trade WARS", the semantics makes people think it is more dangerous than it is actually is.

Me vs S&P 500 3m w/?

This is an overlay of me/S&P last 3 months, just started trading 2 weeks prior. I only swing trade or day trade, the only time I've held a stock for more than 2 consecutive days is when it's going down. If I would have used a stop loss a couple times or just got out sooner I'd be looking good.

Overlay > https://i.ibb.co/rbXLM4G/Untitled3.png < I'm orange/red

The reason I didn't get out of losers faster was because I didn't want to sell low. Looking back that was a mistake.

My question: How do you deal with down swings? Do you use stop losses often? Does anyone just stop trading during down swings?
