Noticias Económicas y Financieras A medida que la temporada electoral se pone en marcha, gran parte del contenido y los mensajes de la campaña se han centrado en la economía. La política monetaria también ha estado en juego debido a sus efectos sobre los costos de endeudamiento, que afectan todo, desde las tasas hipotecarias y los préstamos para automóviles hasta las tarjetas de crédito y los balances corporativos. La Reserva Federal también se encuentra en un momento clave en su último ciclo, con llamados a comenzar a reducir las tasas antes de que una caída en la demanda y el aumento del desempleo provoquen problemas para la economía. Ante los últimos informes que indican que Irán intentará un ataque contra Israel esta semana, el Pentágono ha revelado el despliegue de un submarino con misiles guiados, un anuncio público poco común destinado a restablecer la disuasión en la región. El secretario de Defensa, Lloyd Austin, también ha acelerado el cronograma para la llegada del grupo de ataque USS Abraham Lincoln, poniendo en alerta a los sectores de la energía y otros. Los ataques a los activos estadounidenses se han intensificado durante la última semana, y varios miembros del personal estadounidense y de la coalición resultaron heridos en un ataque con drones en Siria el viernes, tras un ataque con cohetes que hirió a cinco miembros del personal estadounidense en la base aérea Ain al-Asad en Irak. Estados Unidos y China salieron de los Juegos Olímpicos de París empatados con 40 medallas de oro, aunque el equipo de Estados Unidos se llevó una victoria general con 126 medallas en total. Otro claro ganador de los Juegos fue NBCUniversal, propiedad de Comcast $CMCSA, que atrajo un promedio de audiencia total de 14 días de 31.6 millones de espectadores durante los horarios de máxima audiencia de París y Estados Unidos. Eso es un 77% más que los 17.8 millones registrados en Tokio en 2021, lo que se traduce en grandes cantidades de dinero en publicidad. ¿Hay más en camino? NBCUniversal tiene los derechos de los Juegos Olímpicos hasta 2032. Un incendio de un vehículo eléctrico en Corea del Sur está generando preguntas y debates sobre nuevas reglas para la industria. El 1 de agosto, un gran incendio que tardó ocho horas en apagarse (y que destruyó o dañó unos 140 automóviles) fue causado por un vehículo eléctrico Mercedes-Benz EV (OTCPK:MBGYY) desenchufado que estaba estacionado debajo de un edificio residencial. De hecho, más de 600 incendios de este tipo han ocurrido en estacionamientos subterráneos en el país durante la última década. Los funcionarios surcoreanos están sopesando ahora si exigir a los fabricantes de vehículos eléctricos que revelen sus marcas de baterías en un momento en que el crecimiento de las ventas de vehículos eléctricos se está desacelerando a nivel mundial.
Noticias Económicas y Financieras Dado que la inflación se mantiene alta en todas las lecturas de 2024, el primer recorte esperado de la tasa de interés de la Reserva Federal en más de cuatro años sigue avanzando en el calendario, y algunos se preguntan si el banco central reducirá su tasa de referencia en algún momento este año. Los inversores podrán vislumbrar nuevamente el panorama de la inflación hoy cuando el Departamento de Trabajo de EE. UU. publique el índice de precios al consumidor de abril. Con ello, se espera una nueva ronda de predicciones sobre cuando la Reserva Federal finalmente reducirá su tasa de política monetaria. La reducción del comercio de memes continúa por tercer día consecutivo, aunque los grandes nombres están logrando ganancias menores en la sesión previa a la comercialización... por ahora. GameStop $GME y AMC $AMC sufrieron un total combinado de 37 paradas de operaciones de volatilidad el martes, cerrando finalmente +60.1% y +32%, respectivamente, después de que Keith Gill, conocido como Roaring Kitty, tuiteara por primera vez en casi tres años. GameStop también subió a la cima de la lista semanal de Interactive Brokers $IBKR de los activos más activos en su plataforma, y muchos buscan ganar dinero con las opciones de $GME. ¿Veremos una repetición del frenesí de memes de 2021? Solo el tiempo dirá. A medida que los servicios de streaming invaden el mercado, ahora están compitiendo para formar alianzas que ofrezcan "opciones y valor" a los clientes. El último es Comcast $CMCSA, que lanzará un nuevo paquete de transmisión que incluirá Peacock, Netflix $NFLX y Apple TV $AAPL a un "precio muy reducido". Se trata de "precios diarios, no de lanzamiento", anunció el director ejecutivo de Comcast, Brian Roberts, y dijo que el paquete StreamSaver estará disponible este mes. Disney $DIS y Warner Bros. Discovery $WBD presentaron su propio paquete de transmisión hace solo una semana, luego de su asociación con Fox $FOX para construir un transmisor de deportes conjunto. Según se informa, Red Lobster se declarará en quiebra la próxima semana, mientras la cadena de productos del mar más grande de Estados Unidos trabaja para llegar a un acuerdo con sus acreedores y negociar concesiones de los propietarios. También acaba de cerrar alrededor de 99 locales y se subastaron más de 50 restaurantes y sus equipos. Red Lobster ha estado luchando contra problemas financieros durante algún tiempo, debido al menor tráfico peatonal durante la pandemia, tasas de interés más altas y una fallida promoción de camarones todo lo que puedas comer. El propietario mayoritario Thai Union Group (OTCPK:TUFBY) dijo anteriormente que abandonaría la cadena debido a "contribuciones financieras negativas prolongadas". Los senadores estadounidenses presionan para que se destinen $32B a gastos de emergencia en IA. $NVO Novo Nordisk probará fármacos para la obesidad en el consumo de alcohol. La unidad de robotaxi de Baidu $BIDU podría volverse rentable en 2025. NYCB venderá $5B en préstamos hipotecarios a la unidad de JPMorgan $JPM.

Noticias Económicas y Financieras Si bien el fuerte gasto en IA de Meta $META y las escasas perspectivas de ingresos alarmaron a los inversores, las enormes inversiones en la nueva tecnología de otros actores de las grandes tecnologías, Alphabet $GOOG $GOOGL y Microsoft $MSFT, están dando sus frutos. Ambas empresas informaron ganancias que superaron las expectativas en todos los ámbitos, consolidando su dominio en el campo de la IA y convenciendo a los inversores de que sus grandes apuestas en la IA están obteniendo rendimientos más inmediatos. No esperen que el panorama de la inflación mejore mucho, si es que mejora algo, cuando el Departamento de Comercio publique hoy sus datos de marzo sobre ingresos y desembolsos personales. Los economistas esperan que tanto el índice de precios PCE como el PCE básico, que excluye los precios volátiles de los alimentos y la energía, aumenten un 0.3% mensual en marzo. Cabe señalar que el PIB del primer trimestre no aumento tanto como se esperaba, pero la inflación del PCE fue más intensa y desconcertó a los inversores. "Esto implica riesgos al alza para el principal deflactor mensual del PCE y hace un recorte de tasas a corto plazo sea aún menos probable", dijo ING Economic and Financial Analysis. Aun así, la secretaria del Tesoro, Janet Yellen, afirmó que los fundamentos están en línea con una inflación que continúa volviendo a niveles normales. La Comisión Federal de Comunicaciones votó a favor de restablecer las reglas de neutralidad de la red que habían sido derogadas en 2017 bajo la administración de Trump. Las reglas prohibirían a los proveedores de Internet favorecer o limitar ciertos tipos de tráfico a través de la red, al restablecer el tratamiento de los proveedores de Internet como operadores comunes del Título II. La FCC también utilizó su nueva autoridad para impedir que ciertas empresas chinas proporcionen servicios de banda ancha en Estados Unidos por motivos de seguridad nacional. La decisión de la FCC "disuadirá las inversiones y la innovación necesarias para conectar a todos los estadounidenses", dijo Jordan Crenshaw, vicepresidente senior del Centro de Compromiso Tecnológico de la Cámara de Comercio de EE. UU. Continúan las discusiones sobre la próxima ronda de paquetes de medios de la Asociación Nacional de Baloncesto, que entrará en vigencia después de la temporada 2024-2025, y la competencia se está intensificando. Amazon $AMZN y YouTube de Google $GOOG $GOOGL están compitiendo por un nuevo paquete de transmisión de la NBA. Mientras tanto, NBCUniversal de Comcast $CMCSA ha puesto su mirada en un importante acuerdo televisivo que actualmente tienen ESPN de Disney $DIS y TNT de Warner Bros. Discovery $WBD. Tanto Disney como Warner han propuesto pagar mucho más y transmitir menos juegos bajo un nuevo pacto. La ventana de negociación exclusiva de las empresas para renovar sus contratos ha expirado, lo que permite a la NBA negociar con otros pretendientes. $INTC Intel tropieza a medida que pesan los problemas de orientación, IA y fundición débiles. $MSFT Microsoft, se dispara un 21% en su debut. $PARA Paramount se hunde en medio de informes de que el acuerdo con Skydance se está acercando. $HTZ Hertz cae un 20% a medida que la depreciación de Tesla $TSLA afecta el resultado final.
Despite weakness in cable stock prices, our thesis on Charter Communications (CHTR) and Comcast (CMCSA) has not really changed. We made a small, superficial change in the portfolio. Read my full article about AI here:

Sixty Seconds, you need to know before you go, Jon Najarian here. Take a look at Lending Club Symbol LC. Why? Because they basically blew away earnings. They gave positive guidance. Credit Suisse raised their target to twenty eight. And shares are moving higher. How much higher? Well, pretty substantially in the press so far. Let me see. Thirty eight percent are trading. Twenty to forty seven right now. Stocks that you should also pay attention to include Comcast CMCSA because they adjusted quarterly earnings beat by about 16 cents. Take a look at Merck. That one's also up about two percent. Matched estimates for quarterly profits and the drug, Caitríona, jumped 23 percent. That sales of that drug alone Temper Seelie, which is up almost five percent in the pre after an earnings beat. Yum! Brands, parent of KFC, Taco Bell Pizza Hut came in twenty cents ahead of estimates and that stock is up three percent. And by the way, our GDP missed huge came in at six point five percent instead of an eight point four percent estimate. So we'll keep our eyes on exactly why that came out that way. I am Jon Najarian. I will be on The Daily Krypto Byte 10:00 a.m. Pete will be on the half hour. His take, rather, at 10:30am I will be on the Halftime Report and of course, Three @ Three, three p.m. Eastern Time.

Welcome to my podcast Fossil Free Investing, ESG Profits, and more… September 27, 2019—presented by Investing for the Soul. investingforthesoul.com is your site for vital global ethical and sustainable investing news, commentary, information, and resources.

Now to this podcast! ------------------------------------------------------------- Fossil Free Investing Most of us listening to this podcast believe that fossil free Investing might not be a good long-term investment – for many reasons. However, we might not know the details. Well, under the title, Fossil Fuel Divestment: The Financial Case, by Katelyn M. Kriesel, of Hansen's Advisory Services, and president of The Sustainable Economies Alliance, Ms. Kriesel provides a detailed study on those details! Ms. Kriesel says this, and I quote, that, "We compare financial performance of investment portfolios with and without fossil fuel company stocks over the period 1927 -- 2016. Contrary to theoretical expectations, we find that fossil fuel divestment does not seem to impair portfolio performance. These findings can be explained by the fact that, so far, fossil fuel company stocks do not outperform other stocks on a risk-adjusted basis and provide relatively limited diversification benefits." End quote. Thus, we have a compelling case for fossil fuel investing! ------------------------------------------------------------- Continuing on a related theme, Maxx Chatsko of The Motley Fool has his top solar power energy stock picks in a post titled, 2 Top Renewable Energy Stocks in Solar Power, appearing on Nasdaq.com. In my last podcast, Mr. Chatsko picked his top wind energy stocks. By the way, his new stock picks were top choices for analysts in my previous podcasts. It just shows the potential for these stocks. Mr. Chatsko’s two picks are SolarEdge Technologies (NASDAQ: SEDG) and Enphase Energy (NASDAQ: ENPH). He has this to say about SolarEdge, I quote, “The company develops integrated inverter systems that maximize power output from solar panels and reduce the cost of electricity produced… In the last six quarters, SolarEdge has acquired a provider of uninterruptible power supplies, a maker of lithium-ion batteries, and even a company that develops powertrain and electronics for electric vehicles. That shows the company is eager to maintain and expand its presence in the clean energy markets. With shares trading at just 17 times future earnings after a recent pullback, investors with a long-term mindset might find plenty to like about this solar stock.” End quote. On Enphase Energy, Mr. Chatsko writes, that, “Enphase Energy… develops and supplies microinverter solutions that help maximize the electricity output from solar modules… Enphase, the leader in microinverters, delivered $24.6 million in operating income in the first six months of this year, compared with an operating loss of $3 million in the first half of 2018… Enphase… is preparing to launch the first products with the next-generation IQ 8 microinverter, which boasts a 31% increase in computing power versus [its] IQ 7. That could allow for smaller, more efficient, and even simpler products for customers. Throw in the expected launch of residential energy storage products by the end of 2019, and this solar stock could have multiple growth opportunities.” End quote. ------------------------------------------------------------- More ESG stock picks come from Evan Harvey, Global Head of Sustainability at Nasdaq. They appear in a post titled, This Correlation Between ESG Investing Scores And High Returns May Surprise You, written by Alissa Coram and Justin Nielson on the Investors Business Daily site. The three ESG stocks Mr. Harvey likes are Akamai Technologies (AKAM), Texas Instruments (TXN), and Comcast (CMCSA). On Akamai Technologies, Mr. Harvey says, “Akamai stock is all about the infrastructure for the internet as the largest content delivery network service provider. Between security solutions, e-commerce, and video streaming, they touch on a lot of areas seeing massive growth.” End quote. Concerning Texas Instruments, he says, quote, “Semiconductors are notoriously cyclical so it helps to understand where you are at in the chip cycle. They started the year out great but have had a tough time since China trade war concerns have intensified. But with optimism on the direction of talks on tariffs, chip stocks started showing relative strength.” End quote. And on Comcast, Mr. Harvey says, that, “Comcast is a great example of how top-rated companies exist in the ESG space. While many people focus on the impact of cord-cutting on Comcast's cable business, it's just as important that the cord-cutters still need internet service. Comcast is offsetting losses in video subscriptions with gains in broadband subscriptions. The profit margins on broadband are much higher, leaving little incentive to fight for the lower-value video subscriptions. With a push for expansion in wireless mobile, it's a very different bundle that Comcast stock will be pushing in the future.” End quote. ------------------------------------------------------------- Because ethical and sustainable investing is gaining mainstream acceptance, it’s not surprising to read Sanghamitra Saha of Zacks, article, titled, 6 ESG ETFs Close to or Above the $1B Asset Mark, found on Yahoo! Finance. Ms. Saha reviews each of the six ESG ETFs. Here’s what she says about each one. Quote, “1) The iShares ESG MSCI USA Leaders ETF (SUSL) — AUM $1.61 billion… comprises U.S. large and mid-capitalization stocks of companies with high ESG performance relative to their sector peers. It charges 10 bps in fees. 2) iShares MSCI KLD 400 Social ETF (DSI) — AUM $1.55 billion… is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index designed to measure the equity performance of U.S. companies that have positive ESG characteristics. The fund charges 25 bps in fees. 3) Xtrackers MSCI U.S.A. ESG Leaders Equity ETF (USSG) — AUM $1.50 billion… is a capitalization-weighted index that provides exposure to companies with high ESG performance relative to their sector peers. The fund charges 10 bps in fees. 4) iShares MSCI USA ESG Select ETF (SUSA) — AUM $1.18 billion… comprises U.S. companies that have positive ESG characteristics. The fund charges 25 bps in fees. 5) iShares ESG MSCI EAFE ETF (ESGD) — AUM $969.5 million… comprises large and mid-capitalization developed market equities, excluding the U.S. and Canada that have positive ESG characteristics. The fund charges 20 bps in fees. 6) iShares ESG MSCI U.S.A. ETF (ESGU) — AUM $967.05 million… comprises U.S. companies that have positive ESG characteristics while exhibiting risk and return characteristics similar to those of the parent index. The fund charges 15 bps in fees.” End quote. ------------------------------------------------------------- Now, while on the subject of ESG funds, Annalisa Esposito reports on the Morningstar UK site that, ESG Funds Beat Non-Sustainable Sister Funds, and quoting her, she says that “Investors would do better to pick ESG funds rather than their non-sustainable counterparts, according to research by fund supermarket interactive investor. Morningstar data analysed by the firm reveals that funds taking environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into account in their investments have performed better than their non-ESG sister funds.” End quote. Whether the same is true outside the UK hasn’t been demonstrated to my knowledge. However, it’s one more great reason for investing in ethical and sustainable funds compared to their ‘conventional’ equivalents! ------------------------------------------------------------- For the fixed-income side of your portfolio, green bonds are well worth considering according to many analysts. In an article, Green Bonds Are Getting Hot on Wall Street, ETF Trends features the VanEck Vectors Green Bond ETF (NYSEArca: GRNB). Among green bond funds, the writer of the article states, that, “The VanEck Vectors Green Bond ETF (NYSEArca: GRNB), the first fixed income ETF offering exposure to green bonds, has been a solid performer this year, gaining nearly 4% while currently yielding around 1.3%. Those are modest, but decent numbers, but the appetite for green bonds is increasing and that could bode well for GRNB going forward.” End quote. Illustrating how big green bond issuance is becoming, financial writer Todd Shriber quotes Bloomberg concerning the huge increase in green bond issuance this year. Bloomberg says, “Global green-bond sales have already beaten last year’s record $135 billion well before the end of 2019. Issuance of the securities has more than quadrupled in the past five years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.” End quote. ------------------------------------------------------------- To help US ethical and sustainable investors create stock and bond portfolios reflecting their personal values, Investopedia just announced its Best 2019 Robo-Advisors for Socially Responsible Investors.

Every week, host and Zacks stock strategist, Tracey Ryniec, will be joined by guests to discuss the hottest investing topics in stocks, bonds and ETFs and how it impacts your life. In this episode, Tracey is joined by Kevin Matras, Vice President at Zacks, Research Wizard guru and the editor of Zacks Option Trader portfolio service. 2016 saw record North American box office at $11.37 billion but profits for the movie studios were down 15%. The tent pole movie strategy worked for Disney (DIS) which had 7 of the top 15 grossing films of the year. According to a profile in Vanity Fair, Disney has as its strategy that it wants to make movies that people must see in the theaters. It wants to make “event” pictures. It’s not surprising, then, that it was the studio behind “Finding Dory” and “Rogue One”. Both had strong word-of-mouth momentum and the public wasn’t willing to wait to see them on cable or television at a later date. But even with its huge studio success, Disney is expected to grow earnings by just 4% this year. Warner Brothers, owned by Time Warner, also had a successful 2016 with big money making movies in “Batman v. Superman”, “Suicide Squad” and “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”. It has a huge slate for 2017 including “Wonder Woman”, “The Justice League” and “The Lego Batman” movie. The Challenge From the Small Screen But the movie industry is changing again. It now faces more competition than ever from the home viewer who is now able to get original content without getting off the couch. Americans actually go to the movie theater, on average, about 5 to 6 times a year. 1. Netflix (NFLX) spent $100 million producing “The Crown”, a series about the life of Queen Elizabeth, and it appears to have paid off. Analysts have 2017 earnings growth at 142%. It’s trading with a P/E of 133, however. But Kevin says there’s just some stocks where “P/E doesn’t matter.” 2. Amazon (AMZN) is another one that is cashing on original content. Amazon Studios produced award-winning “Manchester By the Sea” in 2016. You also get the cloud and its retail business, though. Amazon is another expensive stock, with a forward P/E of 86. 3. Lionsgate (LGF.A) merged with STARZ last year and now has access to its hit original series about time travel set mostly in Scotland “Outlander” and its 25 million subscriber base. In addition, it’s still making movies through its studio. It produced 2016 awards-favorite “La La Land.” Kevin also likes the combination of Comcast (CMCSA) and Universal Pictures. He likes Comcast’s business focus including its OnDemand segment. Universal will be releasing “A Dog’s Purpose” and “Pitch Perfect 3” this year. Should investors be getting into any of these stocks at this point? And if so, which ones are Tracey’s and Kevin’s favorites? What do they think about the movie business and its future?

Rangeley Capital's Portfolio Managers, Chris DeMuth and Andrew Walker, discuss a potential bidding war for Medivation (MDVN) after recieving competing offers from Pfizer (PFE) and Sanofi (SNY). Then, they turn to Comcast (CMCSA) and discuss how their merger with Dreamworks (DWA) will position them as a Disney (DIS) clone. Finally, they discuss that Abbott (ABT) mega-merger with St. Jude (STJ).
In this episode, Tracey is joined by Kevin Matras, Zacks Vice President, stock screening and technical analysis wizard, and the editor of the Options Trader newsletter. Kevin Matras may be the Zacks’ options expert, but he is also one of the biggest movie buffs in the office. Tracey is also a big movie fan so that makes them the perfect duo to discuss the upcoming holiday movie season and whether or not you should be buying the movie studio stocks because you love their movies. Most of the movie studios are now part of larger media conglomerates like Comcast (CMCSA) which owns Universal Studios and the Jurassic Park and Fast and Furious franchises and Time Warner (TWX) which owns Warner Brothers. Investors should remember they’re not just buying the studios but all of the companies’ other businesses as well. Look at Disney (DIS). The Star Wars juggernaut that will be unleashed in just a few weeks. Expectations are high but there are concerns that Disney might not be able to meet them. But Disney’s shares have been roiled by changes in the cable business, especially with its franchise ESPN, as more consumers decide to unbundle themselves from the big cable packages. Sony Corporation (SNE) has a big hit in the James’ Bond film SPECTRE, but the studio business is dwarfed by Sony’s gaming and electronics segments. Those areas are doing well, however, with Sony expected to grow earnings by 282% in fiscal 2016. Tracey and Kevin also debate the future of Lions Gate Entertainment (LGF) now that the Hunger Games franchise is winding down. It is the smallest of the studio companies as it’s not tied in with a big media company. Will the possibility of a Hunger Games stage show and Hunger Games theme park rides help boost the bottom line? There are a lot of moving parts to the movie stocks. What are Tracey and Kevin’s top stock picks, if any? What do these two film buffs think about the holiday movie season? Sylvester Stallone is getting Oscar buzz for his turn as Rocky in Creed. Yes, it’s true! Listen to the podcast to find out more.
