SPDR Sector Relative Strength Analysis Report For Week Starting 5/13/19

May 12, 2019 Published by

Sector rotation is the action of shifting investment assets from one sector to another to take advantage of cyclical trends in the overall economy in an attempt to beat the market.  Sector rotation seeks to capitalize on the theory that not all sectors of the economy perform well at the same time because sectors of the stock market perform differently during the phases of the economic and market cycle.

For example, defensive

stocks tend to fare well during early expansions.

Is Roku The Next Microsoft???

May 10, 2019 Published by

On Wednesday, Roku reported their first quarter earnings. Although net loss of $9.7 million, or 9 cents a share, revenue rose to $207 million from $137 million a year earlier ago.  Also, active-account base grew by 2 million users sequentially, reaching 29.1 million in the first quarter.  And for the full year, Roku forecast $1.03 billion to $1.05 billion in revenue, slightly ahead of expectations.

Can $UBER give $LYFT a Lyft?

May 10, 2019 Published by

It sure does need one. After being pushed into the IPO market land and opening up well above the IPO price at 72, it has been utterly obliterated into the ground. Every single investor is losing money here (unless you are shorting, but they aren’t investors). This is a gigantic fail of an IPO. Does UBER make the same mistake?

They are doing everything they can not to including holding a valuation much below what was originally estimated and attempting to open the share price lower to. From the looks of it LYFT is not getting a bounce on UBER’s

Goldman Sachs…The Real Uber Winner

May 10, 2019 Published by

Uber makes its IPO debut Friday in one of the most anticipated IPOs in 2019.  Uber is set to price their shares at $44 to $50, given the company an immediate $80 or $90 billion market cap.

In 2018, Uber’s revenue reached $11.3 billion for the year, up 43% from 2017, but the company remains unprofitable.  Thus, tomorrow there will be winners and losers (just like with the Lyft IPO).  The losers will be the retail investors, who will be eager to jump in and get a piece of the pie.  The winners will include, Ashton Kutcher, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Gwyneth Paltrow

2 hours later and we are going green from the open. This trade war headlines BS needs to stop. I can’t make this up, I leave DC, we are tanking and the trade deal is a zero(not happening). Then I land 2 hours later and the deal might happen this week, and we are ripping back to highs. Stay tuned for the close and don’t chase either.
