This Week inwards Barrons: 1-5-2020:                 



Thoughts:

I recall seeing Bill Gates give a keynote speech communication inwards the Superdome when he uttered the words: “We tend to overestimate what volition fall out inwards 1 year, as well as underestimate what volition fall out inwards 10.  During the upcoming decade I facial expression that:
1.    The experiment in using uppercase every bit a moat…  to create startups into sustainable businesses volition live celebrated every bit a FAILURE.  Uber  popularized the strategy, as well as has yet to evidence it tin back upward itself.  WeWork was a quick learner amongst this strategy, every bit it blew upward inwards everyone’s face.  VCs as well as Universities are failing correct as well as left amongst the strategy, as well as I honestly couldn’t live happier.  “Kill the Beast!”

2.    Countries volition create as well as promote digital / crypto…   versions of their fiat currencies.  China volition atomic number 82 the charge, as well as volition gain the most from its ‘first mover advantage’.  Asian crypto exchanges volition move the dominant uppercase marketplace for all types of fiscal transactions.  The U.S. volition live hamstrung past times regulators.  

3.    China volition move the dominant…   global superpower because of its  technical prowess as well as might to adapt.  Conversely the U.S. volition move increasingly isolationist.

4.    Climate change…   will crusade dramatic changes inwards existent estate values.  Nuclear as well as solar might volition move along their march toward becoming mainstream.

5.    Plant based diets…   will dominate the world, as well as labs volition live the novel farms.

6.    Privacy protection…   will finally ‘matter’ as well as the biggest consumer technology successes of the decade volition live inwards the expanse of privacy & security.

7.    Genetics will make massive wins every bit cancer as well as other terminal illnesses move improve understood as well as treatable.

The destination is NOT to live correct most the above, but to move along thinking most them.


The Market:  





3 WHAT IF’s:
#1       Apple acquires Tesla:  Elon Musk's EV companionship e'er sets insane goals, but 2020 looks peculiarly crazy. They demand to:
o   Scale production at the novel Shanghai Gigafactory, 
o   Deliver the offset Model Y crossover SUVs (on pre-order since March), 
o   Succeed in PRC despite America's ongoing merchandise war, and 
o   Build a fourth Gigafactory nigh Berlin.
Tesla’s stock is at an all-time high thank yous to a profitable lastly quarter as well as broken widow-gate.  But Tesla is polarizing, as well as the stock could rapidly plough south.  If shares autumn 50% (and it's happened before), that's where Apple comes in.
o   Apple has $206B inwards cash.
o   Creating an iCar has been rumored for decades.
o   With iPhone sales declining, there’s an open ‘parking’ spot on Apple’s production roadmap.  
o   Both companionship HQ’s are precisely nine miles apart.
If Tesla was acquired, Apple's CEO would accept the bike as well as convey fiscal stability to Tesla, as well as convey a dose of reality to Elon's projections.

#2       Chipotle begins to alter to a pick-up as well as delivery restaurant:
Chipotle should move the 1st major the States eating seat chain to eliminate tables as well as create every store offering pre-order pickup as well as delivery only.  Why – because:
o   Digital saved Chipotle.  Their online sales for pickup as well as delivery almost doubled lastly quarter.
o   Space costs money.  Chipotle restaurants are mostly empty during the mornings as well as betwixt 2 as well as 5pm when you're non hangry.
o   Their new CEO came from Taco Bell, as well as I’m betting his ideas entirely acquire wilder.
Convenience is winning over retail.  Target’s stock is at tape highs thank yous to curbside pickup.  Walmart is committed to "delivery unlimited" subscriptions as well as grocery curbside pickup.
o   Over half of 2020’s eating seat spending is projected to be outside the restaurant.
o   Last year's $10.2B consumer splurge on third political party delivery led to ghost kitchens (delivery-only restaurants where customers can't regard the place.)
o   Starbucks is testing its offset ever pickup-only stores.
Chipotle is facing fresh, fast-casual competition.  McD’s is spending $6B to renovate its stores.  Going table-free isn't precisely a turn a profit displace or a PR stunt, but rather how Chipotle tin stand upward out inwards a saturated the world of quick lineament nutrient options.

#3       Amazon starts ‘naked’ transportation (eliminates cardboard waste):
Currently, billions of packages shipped each yr way billions of tree-made cardboard boxes.  Amazon launched “The Climate Pledge” to encounter the Paris Climate Agreement 10 years early.  They could encounter this destination past times offering ‘naked’ shipping.  They’ve already ordered 100k electrical delivery vans, as well as are investing $100m inwards planting trees.  With: ‘Prime Shipping’, ‘2-hour Shipping’, ‘No-rush Shipping’ – ‘Naked Shipping’ is a natural.
o   ‘Naked Shipping’ = No box inside a box.  This allows certain packages to live shipped inwards their native packaging, as well as precisely slapping on a label.
o   Give the client $1 off to ‘Go Naked’ – because it saves Amazon money (the boxes) as well as helps attain its Climate Pledge.
Yes, naked isn’t always appropriate.  A Rolex needs the anonymity of a brownish box.  But amongst customers craving "naked-eligible’ $1-off items – producers may create their native packaging to a greater extent than naked-friendly, (like Tide currently).
o   This could negatively touching Amazon’s profits.  Amazon already pays workers to optimize packaging.  Now it volition receive got to pay for the $1 naked incentive, as well as for an growth inwards stolen as well as damaged items.
But Jeff, sustainability commitments tin create create beloved (Patagonia).  And preventing trees from existence turned into boxes volition create client loyalty.


Info Bits:




-       Remember Pixar’s 2008 movie WALL-E?   It is set inwards the 29th century, where mankind has evolved into boneless blobs that: eat, babble at screens, as well as lounge inwards high-speed, floating chairs.  With 40% obesity inwards the U.S., Segway is debuting a novel personal transporter pod at CES inwards Las Vegas.  It uses Segway's self-balancing technology to propel the user frontward on 2 wheels, patch sitting down.  The passenger navigates via a knob on a command panel, as well as tin move upward to 25 mph.  Yee-Haw!

-       Getting downward to business:   Google as well as Facebook yet demand to defend themselves against the government’s antitrust claims.  Uber, Lyft, Peloton, Slack, Pinterest, Smile Direct Club… – all demand to figure out how remain alive.

-       Let the Streaming Wars begin:   The faceoff is straightaway between Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go, Amazon, Disney+, Apple TV+, as well as others.  That’s a lot of content inwards 2020.

-       Gig Economy  Uber as well as Postmates filed a lawsuit to block the novel California constabulary that would require companies to assort these workers every bit employees rather than independent contractors.  The reclassification would impact the entire ‘gig economy’ – adding farther costs to already unprofitable businesses.

-       Apple as well as Microsoft accounted for 1/3 of the Nasdaq’s slap-up 37.8% year:   If yous remove heed closely – yous tin hear 1,000 hedge funds shutting down.  No wonder to a greater extent than as well as to a greater extent than people plough to indexing as well as uncomplicated property allotment when it comes to investing.  If yous can’t shell ’em – bring together ’em.

-       “War, what is it adept for?”   A lot!  Aerospace as well as defence forcefulness stocks broke to all-time highs lastly week.  Everybody knows “dangerous escalation” means profits for: Lockheed Martin (LMT), Northrop Grumman (NOC), Raytheon (RTN) as well as L3 Harris Technologies (LHX).  The armed services industrial complex entirely rolls downhill.

-       The Fog of War:   Sun Tzu in i lawsuit wrote: “All state of war is based on deception.”   The the States as well as Islamic Republic of Iran may or may non live heading for war.  But i thing is certain, what we’re all going to live hearing from politicians as well as the media over the coming days is going to live misdirection.  Remember: everything is questionable.


Crypto Bytes:

-       Bitcoin believers…   expect a 2020 rally every bit a wages for halving.


Last Week:   



   The adept word is that the marketplace is treating the higher upward laid of unprofitable companies every bit it should.  All of the hype placed or so ‘eyeballs’ (UBER) as well as ‘kumbaya’ (WeWork) has gone away as well as we’ll before long regard who tin pose their ‘big man child pants on’.

-       Last Monday:  The stock marketplace is opened upward all twenty-four hours today as well as Tuesday.  Volumes stink and ‘weird’ movements are common.  Keep an optic on AMT.  It’s stupidly expensive, but if it clears $230 it has a shot at $240.  PG has technicals that are firming up, as well as a displace over $126.50 could laid it free.  BMY is threatening a breakout if it tin acquire over $64.60 A report hitting the wires that PRC is to see the US next week-ish to sign the merchandise deal.  Interesting if true!
-       Last Tuesday:   Yesterday in that location was some taxation related selling, every bit nosotros dropped 183 points. But the banks similar MS as well as C held upward remarkably well.  The large query is: Do yous hold onto whatever yous receive got as well as accept it into the novel yr or precisely sell now?  If you’re a large instrumentalist as well as your portfolio is upward – yous in all likelihood desire to lock inwards those profits.  But if yous sell today, yous volition receive got to pay taxes on those gains inwards Apr of 2020.  If yous agree out as well as sell on Thursday, yous don't receive got to pay those taxes until April, 2021.  So, it’s possible nosotros regard some selling going into adjacent week.  On the other hand, there's a lot of insurance as well as pension funds that receive got to make their novel yr redistributions the offset calendar week of January.  So buying may offset profit-taking.  I thought that we’d rising into the offset duad of weeks of Jan as well as so regard the marketplace start out to stair measuring lower.
-       Last Thursday:   China did some liquidity injections overnight, as well as everyone liked that.  Microsoft (MSFT) hitting a high of $159.55 this morning, as well as a displace over that would live buyable.  AMD over $47.90 could piece of employment but it's awfully extended.  AAPL over $298.45 works, but agree your nose.  Of course of study the SPY as well as DIA are buyable over their respective morn highs, but facial expression at the prices.  AMD did move over $47.90 so I snagged some.
-       Last Friday:   Overnight the U.S. targeted the overstep Iranian commander, killing him as well as some other official inwards a drone strike.  The initial reaction was that stone oil jumped, aureate jumped, as well as the futures cruel 400 points.  But every bit the morn evolved the DOW is straightaway entirely downward 240.
   This is a game changer.  The guy they took out is the i that orchestrated the laid on on the U.S. embassy.  Bottom line, tensions are really high, as well as something large could happen.  Just every bit alarming on the economical side of things - here's the latest circular of economical data:

U.S. ISM Manufacturing December: 47.2 (estimate was 49.0)
- New Orders Dec = 46.8 (previous 47.2) – moving lower.
- Prices Paid Dec = 51.7 (estimate 47.8) – nosotros receive got inflation.
- Employment inwards Dec = 45.1 (previous 46.6) – moving a lot lower.

  That's the worst manufacturing information inwards 10 years.  The economic scheme is inwards serious slowdown mode, as well as the marketplace is existence held upward ONLY past times the FED as well as corporate purchase backs.

-       Remember the 2010s:  Instagram took off because the ‘boomers’ took over Facebook.  The Chilean miners were rescued.  Obama won a 2nd term.   Same-sex matrimony was legalized.  Who knew that Gangnam had style, as well as Hamilton would accept over Broadway.  BP had a deadly stone oil spill.  Vine walked so TikTok could run.  Dozens occupied Wall Street.  Terror attacks as well as volume shootings shook the world.  Osama bin Laden was killed.  The the States had its 1st female presidential nominee past times a major political party.  Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, as well as so got impeached.  Women marched, candidates debated, millions fought for the Iron Throne, as well as nosotros all tried to Catch ‘em all Things amongst Democratic People's South Korea got way likewise tense.  Kaepernick took a articulatio genus as well as started a movement.  People came frontward amongst their #MeToo stories.  There were imperial weddings as well as imperial babies.  We flossed, planked, as well as poured H2O ice over our heads.  Beyoncé sipped Lemonade.  Kanye became a Kardashian.  And nosotros all could receive got a used a picayune to a greater extent than CBD.  What a decade.





Weed: 

-       Illinois Adult-Use MJ Launched w/ Heavy Demand:  Thousands of marijuana enthusiasts – including Illinois’ lieutenant governor – turned out on a mutual frigidity New Year’s Day (2020) to grade the historic start of adult-use cannabis sales inwards what could become one of the largest U.S. recreational markets inwards the patch ($2B).  More than 77,000 legal recreational cannabis transactions occurred on Jan. 1 inwards Illinois, resulting inwards sales of nearly $3.2m amongst an average handbasket size of $135.  

-       New endeavour to legalize recreational cannabis inwards Oklahoma:  Supporters of recreational cannabis inwards Oklahoma refiled a petition to legalize adult-use marijuana inwards the state.  Michelle Tilley, the executive managing director of the Oklahoma branch of the American Civil Liberties Union who filed the novel paperwork said that the petition was redrafted to create sure enough in that location were greater protections for the existing medical marijuana manufacture as well as its patients. 


-       Adult-use marijuana delivery firms licensed inwards Michigan:  Michigan regulators licensed the offset 3 companies approved to deliver recreational cannabis to consumers’ homes.  The Michigan Department of Licensing as well as Regulatory Affairs approved the delivery businesses, Wood TV reported. Adult-use cannabis sales began in Michigan on Dec. 1.

-       Wholesale cannabis prices are on the rise:   Wholesale cannabis prices are going upward inwards the recreational cannabis markets of: Colorado, Oregon as well as Washington.  The upward toll tendency seemed related to stronger demand, growers going out of business, as well as some farmers pivoting to industrial hemp.

-       Coca-Cola – where there’s smoke … Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett as well as Vice Chair Charlie Munger made it clear that Coca-Cola shouldn’t venture into the marijuana business.  However, rumor has it that In Canada, Coca-Cola is coming out amongst a novel draw of Coca-Cola that contains CBD extracts.  Humm?

-       Canopy Growth has launched First & Free   a novel draw of hemp-derived CBD products, inwards the U.S.  The First & Free portfolio includes softgels, stone oil drops, as well as creams, and volition live sold entirely where legal nether state law.  The brand’s softgels retail at $15 a 10-pack of 25-milligram gels on its e-commerce website, patch oil drops are at $40 per 30-ml. (25 grams of CBD per ml.), as well as creams volition live released shortly.

-       48% of consumers who inhale cannabis…   self-identify "Having Fun" every bit a make goodness – patch entirely 30% of edibles consumers do.

-       Kansas governor supports legalizing medical marijuana…   and it’s i of the top priorities inwards 2020 for Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly.  The Republican said that although she is non a proponent of legalizing recreational marijuana, she in all likelihood would sign a neb into constabulary if Kansas legislators presented her amongst one.  Mostly because it is bordered on 3 of its iv sides past times states amongst legal cannabis markets: Colorado, Missouri as well as Oklahoma.

-       Bermuda releases draft medical cannabis constabulary as well as rules to ‘spark entrepreneurship’:   Bermuda released the draft legislative designing to found a domestic medical cannabis manufacture that hopes to attract international investment.  Cannabis could live prescribed entirely past times a medical practitioner as well as dispensed past times a pharmacist.  Bermuda’s draft Medicinal Cannabis Bill, 2019 is available here.

-       The U.S. hemp-based CBD market…   will live due north of $2.5B inwards 2020. 

-       In terms of CBD influence…   nothing is to a greater extent than convincing than a wellness attention practitioners’ guidance.  50% of hemp-CBD interested adults said a wellness attention professional’s guidance would motivate them to utilization a hemp-CBD product.  CBD products are currently positioned every bit substitutes for over-the-counter (OTC) solutions targeting arthritis, slumber as well as full general pain.

-       Nielsen projections demonstrate that amongst FDA approval…   ingestible formats could grow their existing user base of operations every bit much every bit 250%-375% inwards a year’s time, every bit these are the formats that consumers are most familiar with.  We believe that over the adjacent decade, categories that consumers utilization habitually or every bit constituent of their daily routine volition contribute significantly to CBD growth as well as ultimately garner high sales due to replenishment frequency. CBD-infused beverages are especially a adept gibe for this:  coffee, functional waters, unloosen energy drinks, teas as well as sport drinks. 

-       New CBD consumers…    are to a greater extent than than twice every bit probable to  shop for products at a grocery chain.  These same consumers are to a greater extent than than 3.5 TIMES to a greater extent than probable to purchase CBD products from a drug store chain.


Next Week:   




In the 2010’s nosotros had:
-       1.  The emergence of the large iv web/mobile monopolies; Apple, Google, Amazon, as well as Facebook.  Today, these iv companies ain monopolies or duopolies inwards their center markets as well as are using the might of those marketplace positions to extend their reach.  What nosotros make most this province of affairs stands every bit i of the most of import issues inwards tech.

-       2.  Silicon Valley’s seat every bit mecca for tech as well as startups is finally weakening.  It’s incredibly expensive to live as well as piece of employment inwards the bay expanse as well as the lineament of life equation is non moving inwards the correct direction.  The physical infrastructure needs help, BUT that does non hateful Silicon Valley is over.  It does hateful that other tech sectors volition detect an easier fourth dimension recruiting talent to their regions as well as talent is actually the entirely thing that matters these days.

-       3.  Technology inserted itself correct inwards the middle of society this decade. Our President wakes upward as well as fires off dozens of tweets, mayhap patch yet inwards bed. We are hostage to our phones as well as their related services.  There is no putting the genie dorsum inwards the bottle inwards this regard, but the fact that the tech sector has such a powerful role way that it volition live highly regulated.

   For me, 2019 was downright bizarre.  Everything seemed completely upside down. The stock marketplace came into the yr similar a bloated hog ripe for slaughter, but the FED had a dissimilar idea.  Despite the FACT that the economic scheme had slowed, manufacturing was inwards a slump, as well as shipments were downward – they manufactured i of the biggest upward years inwards marketplace history.  They accomplished that past times slashing involvement rates, as well as pushing trillions into the banks via Repo activity.  The lowered involvement rates allowed corps. To borrow billions to move along to purchase dorsum their ain stock – driving equities higher.  The Repo money that goes to the banks, allows them the leverage to leak that money to institutions as well as hedge funds.  Not to nurture outright Central depository fiscal establishment buying of the States equities.  The Swiss National depository fiscal establishment doesn't fifty-fifty pretend whatever more. It prints its holdings canvas for all to see.  In their latest 13F filing, the SNB revealed that it held 2,520 US-traded stocks at the halt of Q3.  The value of these holdings rose 1.5% to a tape of $94.1B.  Its portfolio is loaded amongst the FANGMAN stocks - Facebook, Amazon, Nvidia, Google, Microsoft, Apple as well as Netflix - amongst APPL as well as MSFT every bit its largest positions.
   So, instead of the marketplace finally pulling dorsum afterwards 9+ years of only going higher, the marketplace went insanely higher.  Free money, purchase backs, inexpensive rates, as well as Central banks buying billions worth of stock worked its miracle.  What happens this year?


Tips:

   Can they maintain pushing trillions inwards "not QE" via the repo markets?  Will corporations move along to purchase one-half a trillion dollars of their ain stock back?  Will Central banks move along to purchase stocks on the opened upward market?  Trump needs the economic scheme to appear potent as well as the stock marketplace non to crash.  Well, the economic scheme is NOT strong, as well as Fri the manufacturing sector posted its worst numbers inwards 10 years.  Heavy truck sales receive got fallen the most inwards nine years.  The NY Dec ISM came inwards at 39.1 versus 50.4 inwards November.  So the bottom draw is this: fifty-fifty If the Feds are on Trump's side, I detect it difficult to believe they tin mash xi to a greater extent than months of upside out of this market.  We're inwards a bubble of epic proportions correct now, as well as the economic scheme is inwards contraction.   But I was skeptical lastly Jan as well as facial expression how that turned out.  To make it, they volition receive got to growth the amount of money printed.  Remember, junkies e'er demand to a greater extent than fissure precisely to maintain a high. The marketplace is the same.  Slow the printing as well as the marketplace volition fade.  Which flies inwards the confront of this headline that hitting Fri afternoon:  FOMC: EXPECTS TO TRANSITION AWAY FROM ACTIVE REPO OPERATIONS IN MID-JAN.  This marketplace can't move up, as well as can’t fifty-fifty sustain itself – if they start reducing their Repo activities.  This should acquire interesting.

   Thoughts:  (courtesy of Tasty Trade):

Back on July 5, 2019, the halfway grade of the year, I used the electrical current prices as well as vols of 5 of the most pop indices to create probable ranges for the residue of 2019.  They were:

SPY    68% probability of landing betwixt $272 as well as $325 // Actual = $321.86
QQQ   68% adventure betwixt $170 as well as $214 // Actual = $212.60
IWM    68% betwixt $139 as well as $174  // Actual = $165.67
TLT     68% betwixt $124 as well as $144  //  Actual = $135.48
VIX      68% landing higher upward $11.00 //  Actual = $13.82

So the 3 equity indices landed inwards the middle of the ranges despite the past times half dozen months of rallying.  TLT landed inwards the middle despite some wild rides inwards the belatedly summer, as well as the VIX landed higher upward xi despite that equity rally that kept it below 20 for most of the year.  This is why probabilities piece of employment as well as non charts, fundamentals or Wall St. analysts.  I’d hold back to ‘place your bets’ on the adjacent 6 months until the VIX is higher mid- Jan – fyi – but hither are today’s bets for July 1st:

SPY    68% betwixt $294 as well as $347
QQQ   68% betwixt $186 as well as $239
IWM    68% betwixt $147 as well as $186
TLT     68% betwixt $123 as well as $147
VIX      68% higher upward $10.75
