arkets surged Tuesday as investors gauge potentially positive trade deal developments emanating from the White House. But, the biggest event of the day took place after the closing bells, as Tesla (TSLA) reported its latest quarterly figures. The EV maker missed on both the top-and-bottom line and said it would revisit its guidance. Elsewhere in earnings, Aerospace and Defense stocks reported mixed results as Northrop Grumman (NOC), Lockheed Martin (LMT) and GE Aerospace (GE) were among today's notable movers. Finally, First Solar (FSLR) popped on tariff policy that will help it compete against Chinese solar cell manufacturers. Caroline Woods has the latest from the NYSE site.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Unusual options trading activity in Nvidia (NVDA) once again catches Tom White's attention on today's Options Corner. He looks at a bearish example trade surrounding the A.I. giant to close out 2024. He also weighs a bearish trade on First Solar (FSLR) and a bullish Wynn Resorts (WYNN) trade. ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Major changes to the Dow Jones you should know about! The Dow Jones has changed again as Nvidia (NVDA) replaced Intel (INTC) and Sherwin-Williams (SHW) replaced Dow Inc. (DOW). The most recent change in the Dow Jones came on February 26th when Amazon (AMZN) replaced Walgreens (WBA). With the addition of Nvidia, much of the Mag Seven will now be present in the Dow Jones. As I mentioned Amazon was recently added, but Apple and Microsoft have been components for many years. It seems the Dow has really lost relevance as it has trailed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq in popularity and performance. I worry adding NVDA at this point in time could be buying high and at times the committee has had poorly timed decisions. Back in August 2020 the committee ended up doing a three-company swap as they eliminated Exxon, Pfizer, and Raytheon and added Amgen, Honeywell, and Salesforce. The interesting swap was Exxon (XOM) for Salesforce (CRM) considering XOM is up close to 200% not including dividends during that time period while CRM is up just around 10% during the same timeframe. Another poor decision came back in June 2018 when the committee swapped General Electric (GE) for Walgreens (WBA). Since the switch GE is up over 180% and I don't believe that return even includes the benefit of the spinoffs GE Vernova and GE Healthcare, which would make the return even more attractive. During the same timeframe, Walgreens has had a rough time and the stock has actually fallen over 80%. While some maybe excited about the move, I wouldn't be surprised if Intel actually outperformed Nvidia over the next 5 years. The election is over, what investors should do now! My belief is that your plan should not have a drastic change after the Trump win, but there may be small changes to keep an eye on. The first thing I would tell people is to be careful chasing proposed winners or selling potential losers this early in the game. Ultimately, we don't know exactly what policy changes he will be able to implement and we don't even know at this point who will fill his cabinet. I was bullish on financials before the Trump win, but now that he will be entering office the group will likely benefit from a more relaxed regulatory environment compared to the current administration. Regional banks in particular look like they could be big beneficiaries, but be careful as many already had a big first day move after the election results. I was somewhat surprised to see big tech as a big winner as well, but it seems in today's world everything is good for big tech. If you have been following us, you know we are skeptical of many of these big tech companies due to excessive valuations and frankly I just don't see how a Trump presidency would be overly positive for the group. Especially considering both Trump and VP elect JD Vance have been critical of the group in the past. I would not be surprised to see continued regulatory pressure for some of these companies even after the change in the White House. Health care is also an interesting sector with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. being a large part of the Trump campaign considering his criticisms of vaccines and the food system. While this is something to keep your eye on, I don't believe the group is completely doomed and in fact you could find some opportunities if stock prices continue to be pressured. Green energy is also in the cross hairs and many of these companies saw large declines after the results. While this may be an area of concern if the Inflation Reduction Act is repealed, I believe investors may be able to find some good opportunities if these businesses can maintain profits especially considering our need for more energy. At this point in time, I would wait for more clarity on that space as changes to tax credits could totally disrupt the current earnings picture for many of these businesses. Overall, you may be excited or disappointed with the results, but ultimately the strategy of investing in good quality companies at fair prices over the long term should not change! Do you think you will be able to retire when the time comes? At Wilsey Asset Management we continue to work very hard to encourage people to invest for retirement and also to invest wisely so they can retire at a reasonable age. What is a reasonable age? Most would say 65 but in recent surveys the average age is 62, that's a surprise to me. What is also a surprise is that in 2002 the average age of retirement was 59, and in 1991 it was 57. Could it be because people are living longer and are getting bored in retirement for 20 years or longer? I'm not sure of the reason why but it seems like we have to work a little bit harder based on a survey from New York Life that says 22% of retirees think they may never be able to retire. I have often said getting old is not that great but getting old and not having a good investment portfolio, well that can be devastating. Be sure you are taking advantage of workplace retirement plans, IRAs, or even investing in a tax advantaged brokerage account. Is Your Social Security Taxable? Social Security benefits are taxable, but they are not treated like any other source of income. Currently there are only 9 states that tax Social Security: Colorado, Connecticut, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, and West Virginia. The remaining states do not tax it so the majority of Americans do not need to report it on their state returns. Since this income does not take up any room in state tax brackets, it is much easier to keep taxable income lower in retirement at the state level. On the federal level, between 0% and 85% of Social Security benefits is reportable as income, so at least 15% is tax free. The lower someone's income is in retirement, the greater chance that a larger portion of their Social Security will be tax free. The ratio of taxable to non-taxable benefits is based on “combined” income which is a Social Security Administration term that includes ½ of Social Security benefits plus all remaining income sources. If a married couple's combined income is less than $32,000, none of their benefits are taxable. If combined income is between $32,000 and $44,000, up to 50% of benefits are taxable, and if combined income is greater than $44,000 then up to 85% of benefits are taxable. If these parameters seem low, that is because they were created in 1983 and have not been indexed for inflation. In the 80's, $32,000 and $44,000 was a relatively high level of retirement income so most people did not have to pay taxes on it. Over the last 4 decades as income levels have naturally risen due to inflation, more and more recipients are forced to pay taxes on their benefits. It is unfortunate that Social Security is taxable at all because it used to be tax free prior to 1983. Now we are taxed in retirement when we receive it, and we are taxed on the income we earn that is used to pay into Social Security while we are working resulting in double taxation. It is possible to structure retirement income in a way that reduces the taxation on Social Security, but it is getting increasingly harder to do so. Companies Discussed: First Solar, Inc. (FSLR), Five Below, Inc. (FIVE) & Sherwin-Williams Company (SHW)
Rob Uek calls First Solar (FSLR) the best name in the solar industry. Despite that, it disappointed in earnings as the industry struggles through uncertainty. He hopes next week's presidential election outcome will shed light on the outlook. Brett Castelli also points to another potential bright spot: First Solar's market share in the U.S. ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Join us for an insightful Market Mondays discussion as we tackle some of the most pressing questions in the financial world today. Is the market rigged to stay at an all-time high, or should we brace for a pullback? We'll delve into where the market is headed from here and share our end-of-year targets for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq.We'll also discuss AMD's stock price in the wake of Nvidia's 10:1 split. Is this the best time to buy NVDA, and should we consider selling AMD and TSM from our portfolios? We'll explore whether Nvidia could eventually become the number one company in the world and if it should be added to the Dow.In this segment, we interviewed Wally Adeyero and Rep. Lauren Underwood about the Treasury Department's latest moves. Should we expect a market crash or correction following the presidential election, and how will the market react based on the outcome?We'll also evaluate investment opportunities in companies like Archer and discuss the impact of SpaceX on Tesla, comparing which of the two might be a better investment. Additionally, we'll identify the three most overhyped sectors in investing right now: EV, biopharma, and weed stocks.In our "Dead or Alive" segment, we analyze the prospects of companies like KLAC, KO, Ralph Lauren, TPR, FSLR, EOG, CNC, and INCY. Lastly, we'll consider whether Trump genuinely believes in crypto after his previous criticisms and discuss the implications of delaying the retirement age to maximize Social Security benefits.#MarketMondays #Investing #StockMarket #Nvidia #AMD #TSM #S&P500 #Nasdaq #Election2024 #Retirement #Crypto #Finance #WealthManagement #SpaceX #Tesla #Archer #OverhypedSectorsOur Sponsors:* Check out Monarch Money: monarchmoney.com/MONDAYSSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
The Dow Jones industrial average briefly crossed the 40,000 level but backed off highs by the close along with the Nasdaq and S&P 500. Decliners beat advancers on both exchanges by a small margin after the Nasdaq confirmed the latest uptrend Thursday with a follow-through day. First Solar is approaching an alternate entry; Hartford Financial gave an early buy signal as it forms a flat base; MercadoLibre is trying to clear a new entry.
As our Secretary of Energy says, deploy deploy deploy!

Today, he shares his entrepreneurial journey with us. Expect to learn:Josh's story of going from boots-on-the-roof as an installer to orchestrating O&M and supply chain operations for industry giants.A business idea to address a need in the solar industry that Nico and Josh both believe will be hugeJosh's plan to tackle obsolescence in solar components and ensure that systems remain efficient and viable over time.How well-intentioned entrepreneurs are creating their own inflation in the solar industry.

This is one of several articles on that industry in this podcast. It's titled Power Your Portfolio with Renewable Energy by Tony Sagami and seen on weissratings.com. Here are some of Mr. Sagami's quotes on his picks. “The EIA forecasts that both wind and solar will grow by 1% in 2023. But… wind is beating solar by a wide margin. If you want to add wind power to your portfolio, there are several stocks you should consider. 1. Northland Power (NPI.TO) is a Canadian power producer focused on renewable energy — including wind farms, natural gas and solar energy facilities. 2. TransAlta Renewables (RNW.TO) is a Canadian renewable energy company that owns and operates wind, hydro and natural gas power plants. 3. NextEra Energy (NEE) is an electricity power producer utilizing wind, solar, nuclear, coal and natural gas. 4. Vestas Wind Systems A/S (VWDRY) is a Danish wind energy company that owns massive wind farms in the U.S. and northern Europe. 5. Clearway Energy (CWEN) is one of the largest renewable energy operators in the U.S., with 5 GW of wind and solar energy projects and 2.5 GW of natural gas generation facilities. 6. TPI Composites (TPIC) manufactures wind turbine blades that produce one-third of all the onshore wind turbine blades. If you are more of an ETF investor, take a look at First Trust Global Wind Energy ETF (FAN) and Global X Wind Energy ETF (WNDY).” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Buy These Renewable Energy Stocks Say Analysts From the focus on wind, we turn to solar stocks with this article. It's titled Top Solar Stocks for Q2 2023 and is by Nathan Reiff and posted on investopedia.com. Here's some of what Mr. Reiff has to say about his recommendations. “These are the solar stocks with the lowest 12-month trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. Because profits can be returned to shareholders in the form of dividends and buybacks, a low P/E ratio shows that you're paying less for each dollar of profit generated. Daqo New Energy Corp. (DQ) is a Chinese solar energy company that manufactures polysilicon for sale to manufacturers of solar cells and modules. The company also builds photovoltaic wafers. 12-Month Trailing P/E Ratio: 1.8. Brookfield Renewable Energy Corp. (BEPC) owns a portfolio of hydroelectric, wind, solar, and energy storage facilities across multiple continents, making it one of the world's biggest publicly traded pure-play renewable energy companies. In late March, Brookfield announced that it will participate in a consortium to purchase Australian integrated power generator Origin Energy Ltd. for an enterprise value of $18.7 billion. 12-Month Trailing P/E Ratio: 3.9. Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ) designs, builds, and sells solar equipment for residential, commercial, and industrial customers. The company's products include solar modules, inverters, and system kits. Net income more than doubled and revenue climbed by 29% year-over-year for the final quarter of 2022, driven in part by a significant increase in solar module shipments. 12-Month Trailing P/E Ratio: 11.1 Fastest Growing Solar Stocks These are the top solar stocks as ranked by a growth model that scores companies based on a 50/50 weighting of their most recent quarterly year-over-year (YOY) percentage revenue growth and most recent quarterly YOY earnings-per-share (EPS) growth. Altus Power Inc. (AMPS) is a commercial-scale clean electrification company providing solar generation, energy storage, and charging infrastructure nationwide. Net income attributable to the company rose by over 800% to $67.9 million for the most recent quarter reported. Net income growth was due in part to a $71.5 million non-cash gain from the remeasurement of warrants and alignment shares. Revenue Growth YOY: 24% Brookfield Renewable Corp. See (previous) company description… Revenue Growth YOY: 5.6% Daqo New Energy Corp. See (previous) company description… Revenue Growth YOY: 118.5% Solar Stocks With the Most Momentum These are the solar stocks that had the highest total return over the past 12 months. Enlight Renewable Energy Ltd. (ENLT) is a developer and owner of solar, wind, and energy storage projects in the U.S., Europe, and Israel. For the fourth quarter of 2022, Enlight reported record revenue of $61 million, a 74% increase from the prior year due mainly to growth in its Israel and Western Europe business. 12-Month Trailing Total Return: 740.3% First Solar Inc. (FSLR) designs and manufactures photovoltaic solar power systems and solar modules, serving customers around the world. Global renewable energy firm EDP Renewables finalized an order in March for 1.8 gigawatts of First Solar advanced thin-film photovoltaic modules, to be delivered through 2028. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. 12-Month Trailing Total Return: 151% Maxeon Solar Technologies Ltd. (MAXN) is a Singaporean solar company building and distributing a variety of solar energy components globally. 12-Month Trailing Total Return: 100.1% ” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Buy These Renewable Energy Stocks Say Analysts Here's a third article on the renewable energies theme. It's titled Time to Buy These Alternative Energy Stocks? By Shaun Pruitt on finance.yahoo.com. Here's some of what Mr. Pruitt has to say. “1. Clearway Energy (CWEN) Worthy of consideration is Clearway Energy which sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). Clearway along with its subsidiaries owns and operates a diverse portfolio of contracted renewable and conventional generation, along with thermal infrastructure assets in the United States. Furthermore, Clearway's asset portfolio includes more than 9,000 megawatts (MW) of wind, solar, thermal, and natural-gas-fired power generation facilities as well as distract energy systems. Clearway's earnings estimate revisions are noticeably up over the last quarter. Fiscal 2023 earnings estimates have climbed 26% over the last 90 days with FY24 EPS estimates soaring 98%... 2. Pineapple Energy (PEGY) Sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), Pineapple Energy stock is also standing out among alternative energy companies. Pineapple is focused on local and regional solar, storage, and energy services. Pineapple's portfolio of brands include Hawaii Energy Connection, E-Gear, Sungevity, and Horizon Solar Power which provide homeowners and small businesses with end-to-end product offerings spanning solar, battery storage, and grid services. Pineapple's growth is intriguing at the moment with the company edging closer to profitability. Earnings are expected to rise to $0.08 per share this year compared to an adjusted loss of -$0.96 a share in 2022. Even better, FY24 earnings are now projected to soar 337% to $0.35 per share. Plus, sales are forecasted to climb 174% in FY23 to $85.20 million compared to $31.10 million in 2022. Fiscal 2024 sales are expected to jump another 40% to $119.30 million.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- How Faith-based Funds Are Evolving to Address Climate Change Now to something completely different but of interest to some ethical and sustainable investors. It's an article titled How Faith-based Funds Are Evolving to Address Climate Change by Lewis Braham. Found on barrons.com. Some interesting quotes here for faith-based investors. Quote. “In the long history of faith-based investing, the Vatican's publication of its investment guidelines, Mensuram Bonam, in November, 2022, was an important turning point. Mensuram Bonam, which means ‘good measure' in Latin, focuses on the global problems of income inequality and climate change. It quotes Pope Francis saying, ‘Civilization requires energy, but energy use must not destroy civilization,' and cites the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) as an ‘important framework' for investors to consider. Funds' Comment When Barron's Advisor first covered Mensuram Bonam, some faith-based mutual fund managers seemed caught off guard by the pope's environmental concerns. That disconnect persists. ‘Most [faith-based fund companies] are trying to screen out things like [companies involved with] abortion and pornography,' says Chris McMahon of Aquinas Wealth Advisors, a Catholic advisory firm in Pittsburgh. ‘It's an enormous lift for these firms to pivot and then add this kind of environmental stuff.' … Yet the U.S.'s long tradition of faith-based investing has included important pivots in the past. ‘People draw the origins of this movement to early congregations of Quakers speaking out against things such as the slave trade,' says Will Sorrell, director of values-based investing at OneAscent, which runs four faith-based exchange-traded funds as well as private accounts. Sorrell says OneAscent has gradually shifted its Christian values-based policies to also incorporate environmental concerns and invest in companies having a positive impact on the environment… Interestingly, OneAscent is unaffiliated religiously, but has ‘a broadly Christian Protestant evangelical worldview,' Sorrell says. That gives it more flexibility to disagree with the Vatican. Yet the largest Catholic values fund family, Ave Maria Funds, also apparently doesn't see the need to shift its investment strategy based on the Vatican's guidelines. ‘From our standpoint, [Mensuram Bonam] hasn't impacted the way we manage the funds,' says Timothy Schwartz, president of Ave Maria's advisory firm, Schwartz Investment Counsel, which manages $2.9 billion… Ave Maria Value (ticker: AVEMX) has 38% of its portfolio invested in energy stocks and it has voted against shareholder proposals for some of those companies to set long-term greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- More Investors Turn to ESG Bond Funds And for a change of subject, we turn to green bonds with this piece titled More Investors Turn to ESG Bond Funds by James Comtois and seen on etftrends.com. Here's what Mr. Comtois says about one fund. “Investors looking to increase their allocation to ESG-labeled corporate bonds may want to look into the Vanguard ESG U.S. Corporate Bond ETF (VCEB). The fund seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg MSCI U.S. Corporate SRI Select Index, a market-weighted corporate bond index that measures the investment return of investment-grade U.S. dollar-denominated bonds and is screened for certain environmental, social, and corporate governance criteria. Its index includes fixed-rate, taxable bonds with a maturity of more than one year… (The) Vanguard ESG U.S. Corporate Bond ETF had a 30-day SEC yield of 5.01% as of April 6 and carries an expense ratio of 0.12%” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Other Honorable Mention – not in any order Title: 10 Cheap Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy Now by Fahad Saleem.

Charles Harris, a portfolio manager at O'Neil Global Advisors, shares his studies on secondary market indicators. While they can give you a good overview of sentiment, he warns that their timing may not be as precise. It can be tempting to anticipate bounces at oversold levels but he makes the argument for waiting until you get a follow-through day. Harris also discusses leading stocks like Celsius (CELH), Shockwave (SWAV) and First Solar (FSLR). For the video version, visit investors.com/podcast

We know that not all follow-through days work, so how can you trust them when they appear? Ross Haber of TraderLion walks through his steps for navigating a follow-through day. He starts by trusting the quantitative aspect but verifies strength with qualitative indicators as well. That's with the breadth and progress of the leaders. He wraps up with a discussion of Cadence Design Systems (CDNS), Karuna Therapeutics (KRTX) and First Solar (FSLR). For the video version, visit investors.com/podcast.

July jobs report shows opposite of a recession. NVDA issues not-so-good Q2 pre-announcement. Meme(s) on the move again; BBBY, AMC, BB. Climate bill lifts solar names; FSLR, RUN, SOL.Leftovers - My how times have changed For 25-34 year olds.
Chip Manufacturing I for one am glad to see positive news from the Senate regarding a bill designed to boost US semiconductor competition. After a key procedural vote that passed 64-34, the stage is now set for final passage in the chamber either late this week or early next week. It would then head to the house for passage and finally to Joe Biden to sign the bill into law. The bill would provide about $50 B in subsidies to aid chip manufacturing. Some chip companies like Nvidia, AMD, and Qualcomm aren't as pleased with the bill as they say the bill does not do enough to support them and it favors manufacturers like Intel. Personally, I do not believe we need a bill to help chip design as that has been a highly profitable business many chip companies have focused on. The manufacturing side is not as profitable and is much more capital intensive. Manufacturing is where the major issues are as we have seen 48% of chip sales come from US companies, but just 12% of the manufacturing takes place in the US. This is down from 37% in 1990. I was also glad to see the new bill was stripped down from other versions that included other areas of focus like taxes and climate policy. I hate when politicians try and bundle a bunch of crap into one bill, especially when a particular area has bipartisan support. 529 Plans I have been getting a lot of questions about 529 plans lately and I must say for the most part I don't believe they are worth it. Looking at the tax benefits I do not think they are worth the potential risk. To begin some states, allow for a deduction on state income taxes, but here in CA there is no deduction for a contribution. The other benefit is the funds grow tax free and withdrawals are tax free if used for qualifying expenses. The downsides here are that if the funds are not used for qualifying expenses there is a 10% federal penalty, CA imposes a 2.5% penalty, and the gains are subject to income tax. Also, the investment options are limited to whichever plan you decide to pursue and if you go with a broker advised fund, watch out for the sales commissions on the funds they are recommending. For the most part I recommend building your investments which then gives you the option to pay for college down the road if that is what you would like to do and you believe your kids deserve it. I will say there are some cases the 529 plan makes sense, but for the average person I'd say building your net worth is the better option. Solar Panels Apparently investing for green energy is not always going to work out well in the end. There has been a boom of buying solar panels for clean energy. Well now it is coming out that solar panels only last 20 to 25 years on average. After that many of these panels are being shipped overseas or end up in landfills because it turns out that to recycle them costs more than to manufacture them. You may be thinking wait a minute silicon is recyclable which is true but also mixed in with the silicone is cadmium and lead, and that is the problem. The department of toxic substance control from the state of California has listed solar panels under the hazard waste title as universal waste. If you have panels that were installed 20 years ago, they also lose their efficiency by about a half percent per year. So, if your panels are 20 years old, you're only getting 90% of the energy that you were when your first bought the panels. I would not want to be holding the public solar companies (SEDG, FSLR, MAXN) as I imagine in future years they will be blamed and be hit with lawsuits and penalties to clean up the mess. Cryptocurrency Some people like the idea that trading cryptocurrencies is not regulated by the government, but some people trading cryptocurrencies don't understand how much risk is involved. Let me give you a couple of examples on Wall Street that don't exist in cryptos. On Wall Street there are market makers, stock exchanges and brokerages that are separate due to conflicts of interest. That is not the case with trading crypto, it is possible for crypto firms to trade against their own customers or do something that is known as front running which means they sell their positions before the customers to get the better price. There is no prohibition against wash trading on crypto exchanges and also there is no best execution rules, and no standardized reporting exists. If you think crypto‘s are good or bad the trading system has many holes and room for fraud. Canned Beverages If you walk through the beverage aisle at the grocery store you may have noticed that some cans are getting skinnier and not using the barrel type cans. Do not worry as it is still the same 12 ounces, and it is not shrunk inflation. This is done for a couple of reasons; they take up less room on the shelf and in transportation which saves some costs along with now maybe standing out from the competition. There's also a psychological benefit that because they are slimmer it tricks the brain into thinking they are healthier with less calories. Sounds silly I know but it's true. There is one problem, you may have noticed which I have, is they don't work quite as well in the cupholders in cars because the car cup holders are designed for the barrel type cans. Tort Litigation System I was shocked to learn that back in 2016, the tort litigation system cost the US 2.3% of GDP which is roughly $429 billion a year in the United States. My guess is this has likely increased even further in recent years. This number is so high because it is estimated that there are more than 40 million lawsuits filed each year. What is also interesting is that just 57% of the money was paid as compensation to the plaintiffs, while the remaining 43% covered the cost of litigation, insurance expenses, and risk transfer costs. Part of the problem I believe is because now about 95% of pending lawsuits never make it to trial, they are settled. This avoids the aggravation of going to trial plus the added expense, but it also makes it more rewarding for people to file frivolous lawsuits in the hopes of getting some free money. And if you wondering the United States is the most litigious society in the world. The Semiconductor Bill Just a couple of days I said I was excited about a semiconductor bill that was making its way through congress. Today after looking at more details, I am reminded of why politics is so frustrating. On top of the spending designated for semiconductor manufacturing, it could include $81 B would go to the National Science Foundation (doubles the present budget), $9.6 B would go to the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology, $11 B would go to the Commerce Department's regional technology hubs, $50 B would go to the Energy Department's Office of Science, $4 B would go to the national labs, and you can't forget about the $1 B for "distressed" communities and labor markets. All this fluff is exactly why nothing gets accomplished in DC. You finally have something that has bipartisan support and add a bunch of other areas that do not.

The Stocks Topping ESG Rankings. And More… Let's begin looking at As You Sow and Corporate Knights' Report: Meet the top 200 companies investing in a clean energy future. By TOBY A.A. HEAPS, ANDY BEHAR, MICHAEL YOW, AND MATTHEW MALINSKY. Here are some quotes. “The Clean200 are the largest 200 public companies ranked by green energy revenues… Geographically… the United States dominated the 2022 list, with 52 companies on the Clean200, while Canada had the second largest share with 18, closely followed by China, which 16 Clean200 companies are headquartered in. On average, 58% of revenues earned by Clean200 companies are classified as clean, which is up from 39% in 2021 and significantly above the 20% average clean revenue for their MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) peers… $10,000 invested in the Clean200 on July 1, 2016, would have grown to $20,709 by January 31, 2022, versus $20,315 for the MSCI ACWI broad market benchmark and $13,167 for the MSCI ACWI/Energy benchmark for fossil fuel companies.” End quotes. The top five Clean 200 companies are Apple inc., Alphabet Inc., Intel Corp, TSMC, and Iberdrola. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2. The Stocks Topping ESG Rankings. And More… Another good ranking is the just-released 2022 edition of Barron's 100 Most Sustainable Companies. Writing about them is Lauren Foster. Ms. Foster writes, quote… “In the fifth annual Barron's ranking of America's Most Sustainable Companies, shares of the 100 companies on our list returned 34.4%, on average, in 2021, besting the S&P 500 index's 28.7%... 41 of the 100 companies on last year's list beat the market in 2021.” End quotes. Barron's top five are NVIDIA, ON Semiconductor, Crocs, Inc., Applied Materials, and Jones Lang LaSalle. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3. The Stocks Topping ESG Rankings. And More… Now Mavis Babcock at topnewsguide.com has penned this article titled Top 5 ESG Stocks To Radar Now. Here are their names followed by some brief quotes on each one. “1) Viking Energy Group (OTCMKTS:VKIN) is perfect for any speculative investor searching for ESG investments. The diversified green company has made three recent acquisitions; a carbon capture system that produces sellable commodities from carbon emissions, a medical waste treatment device called the ‘OZONE', and a Green Renewable Diesel Production Facility in Reno that it is extremely close to closing on. 2) Mattel Inc. (NASDAQ:MAT) … the stock has gained 15% so far this year… Mattel is now projecting its 2021 net sales of $5.4 billion to grow 8% to 10% in the current year. Adjusted EPS is seen at $1.42 to $1.48. The toymaker also lifted its 2023 net sales growth forecast to high-single-digit from a previous outlook of mid-single-digit growth… Hasbro forecast growth of ‘low-single digit' in both annual revenue and operating profit this year. 3) American Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:AFG) … the stock has jumped 58% over the past year… (and) delivered fourth-quarter 2021 core net operating earnings per share of $4.12, which outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 38.3%. The bottom line doubled on a year-over-year basis. 4) CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE:CNHI) … The stock is trading above 34% from its 52-week low and 4% away from its 52-week high. CNH Industrial came out with quarterly earnings of $0.25 per share, beating the Consensus Estimate of $0.21 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.30 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 19.05%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this truck, tractor and bus maker would post earnings of $0.22 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.36, delivering a surprise of 63.64%. 5) Ternium S.A. (NASDAQ:TX) Is another stock in the ESG sector which has been showing consistent rise. The stock has moved up 8% over the past one quarter… Benefits of higher steel prices and healthy shipments are likely to reflect on its fourth-quarter results.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Considering green real estate REITS?

If this, is you, review this article titled For Greenification in Munis, Try SMI. It's by TOM LYDON and published on etftrends.com. Here are some quotes from Mr. Lydon. “The vast fixed income market is fertile ground for green fund innovation.... Consider the case of the VanEck HIP Sustainable Muni ETF (SMI), which debuted last September as the first exchange traded fund dedicated to green municipal bonds. The actively managed VanEck HIP Sustainable Muni ETF is managed by HIP Investments — a pioneer in the green municipal bond space… ‘HIP Ratings incorporate research that shows which variables are key to improving outcomes. Then, HIP tracks data and metrics related to evidence-based targets and goal,' said HIP Investors founder and CEO Paul Herman in a recent note. (This ETF)… which sports a 30-day SEC yield of 1.27%, holds just 44 municipal bonds. That's the result of a high bar for entry created by HIP Investor's stringent investment criteria and the newness of green municipal bonds. None of the ETF's holdings exceed a weight of 4.77%. ‘HIP Investor's methodology, which precedes the term ‘ESG' by several years, uses five pillars based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. These five pillars — Health, Wealth, Earth, Equality, and Trust – can be mapped to ESG as well,' adds Herman. Additionally, the HIP's methodology features a dual-pronged approach that focuses on sustainability and education… ‘In the VanEck HIP Sustainable Muni ETF (SMI), HIP Ratings also track the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) framework, as well as a Climate Threat Resilience score,' notes Herman. California and New York municipal bonds combine for 60.6% of the ETF's weight. (This ETF) has an effective duration of 5.77 years, and 84% of its holdings carry investment-grade ratings.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- This ETF is designed to help fight heart disease while making you money. Here's how Now here's another specialist ETF that might be of interest to numerous ethical and sustainable investors. The article's titled This ETF is designed to help fight heart disease while making you money. Here's how. It's by Josh Meyers and found on cnbc.com. Here are some quotes from Mr. Meyers' article. “'The IQ Healthy Hearts ETF (HART)… is designed to help investors do well while doing good,' New York Life Investments' Wendy Wong told CNBC's 'ETF Edge' on Monday. HART's current portfolio includes companies such as UnitedHealth Group (UNH), Apple (AAPL), Novartis (NVS) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). The ETF, powered by Index IQ, sees a portion of fees go toward supporting the American Heart Association's fight against heart disease… ‘The American Heart Association uses [the funds] to support its Social Impact Fund,' she said. ‘This addresses health inequalities in under-resourced communities.' New York Investments' support has accelerated the growth of the Social Impact Fund by nearly three times, according to Wong. The HART ETF is significant in the ESG space as well, ETF Trends CEO Tom Lydon said in the same interview. Lydon called the partnership a great example of ‘[making] sure that we're not only doing right but feeling good about it at the same time and maybe learning how we can help our family do a better job of staying healthy.' HART is outperforming the S&P 500 so far this year, down about 5% versus the benchmark index's 6% loss.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Other Honorable Mentions – not in any order 1.

It's called Benzing a sax to watch podcast. My name is Brent Slava. I'm head of the Benzinga pro Newsdesk. And joining me is one of my partners on the news desk and one of our senior reporters, Steve Kraus, Steve what's going on.Hey, everyone. Not much. How's nice. We had a nice little long weekend this last weekend. How was your nice long. It was great. It was great. The markets were closed on Monday due to president's data and hopefully someone got some good furniture deals with some mattresses some cars all the classics.But now we're back into the short trading week and we've got some we're in the midst of earning season. You said it, and we are going to talk about the earnings. And the podcast say I wanted to give just a really quick intro here for what this podcast is going to be out. So on the Benzinger protein, we publish a daily piece of content for Benzing approa premium subscribers.It's called the stocks to watch list. And the intent of that piece of content is just to get. Our Benzing pro users, a few ideas, a handful of ideas on stocks that the Benzing and Newsdesk thinks could be volatile today, could see some extra trader interests. And so the idea here is just to turn that piece of content into something audio so y'all can listen while you are getting prepared for your market trading day.And Stevia gave a nice little segue there. This is going to be the busy earning season of the Q4 earnings season. And it's not as many exciting names reporting right now, but there are going to be a lot of companies reporting. And so what we want to do really quick for our podcast today, it's only going to be a few minutes.Each day is give a little. Of the sacks that we have on our radar for earnings this week, also go into a little bit of why earnings are important for trader and investor, and then give a couple tips on where you can find some of this information on benzo. How does that sound? Steve sounds great to me.Yeah, we definitely have, like you said, not the most exciting news we've already had apple, Microsoft we've already had our big hitters are portable. We still have some fairly important media companies. Palo Alto network tonight. That's Tuesday night, 22nd Palo Alto network, pan w that's a cybersecurity slash software play Teladoc, T D O C.That's a another software play. Yeah, the go-to play for the tele-health play. If you're interested in something like. Yup. We've got a toll brothers, tol home builders. So some infrastructure play right there and a CZR very popular that Caesar's that's a a sports betting slash casino play was part of the reopening stocks play.And so that's just for Tuesday, Steve and I are just going to bounce through a list, put some of these tickers on. Wednesday before the market open, we're going to be getting lows. That's the home improvement, retailer, ticker low. Keep in mind that home Depot, ticker HD Digitas have earnings today.And also pre-market tomorrow that's Wednesday TJX companies. They're sorta like an off-brand lower price retailer after hours tomorrow, Wednesday, eBay, E B a Y and also lemonade, L M N. How about Thursday, Steve? Oh my God. Thursday is the day. Thursday's always the day for earnings, but man, this week is going to be a big one.Okay. So pre-market, we've got Alibaba, which is the Amazon of Asia. The ABA, we got Medina, obviously the big vaccine plate I'm RNA. Those are premium. After hours we've got square or block is the rebranding sq, we got grub hub. G R U B Coinbase, C O I N Z, scaler, Z S beyond meat. BYN D VMware VMW and first solar FSLR.We got MNS T, which is monster beverage. R K T rocket mortgage NCL, H which is Norwegian cruise lines, reopening plate and Del D E L L. That is a big list for Thursday. And that is just the top identified stocks. They're definitely going to be probably a hundred. 150 more than that as well.And then Friday rounded off the lists here, nothing super excited on Friday, but didn't want to get Footlocker on everyone's radar, that sticker FL. So there's your list of earnings plays a lot of potential earnings plays for this week really quickly wanted to just go into a couple of. On why earnings are important and earnings are probably like the top news catalysts that you can find.If there is any type of news item that is going to move a stock, always it'll either be like MNA, a big M and a deal, or pretty much. The thing to keep in mind with earnings is that the results that you're getting are for a quarter in the past the quarter ended at the end of December in this case for the Q4 earnings season, we are in Q1, but companies are reporting their results for last quarter.That being said, when you are reading earnings reports, when you're looking at earnings reports, remember that a lot of companies will give guidance. They'll give an outlook, they'll give something forward. Look. And that is forward-looking. So a lot of. Earnings is going to be the headline that people focus on, but guidance can be even more important than earnings can sometimes.So keep your eyes on the guidance and then also something to look out for in these earnings releases. And Steve, if you don't mind going through in a sec here, and he can describe a little bit on where to find some of this information on earnings, keep in mind in those earnings press releases, you are going to get information about potential shareholder payout, and dividends. Those are, that's another couple types of news items that you'll see contained within an earnings. Yeah, exactly. Usually they call it guidance or outlook the that's the forward-looking projection. And if you see a company ported, a beat on earnings last quarter, and yet they're going down, don't understand why go check out some guidance, go look for some outlook.Maybe their projections for the future have been cut back a little bit. Maybe they're. They're expecting something worse than what the street is expecting. That tends to be a better indicator of why something is moving. Like that guidance is a good thing to look for immediately after earnings Steve.So where can users find this information? They were doing a lot of the information for users on Benzing pro you can tune into your newsfeed, turn on the BZ wire, and those will be the headlines. You are seeing, coming from human reporters on the Benzinga team, but Steve, like where are we getting our information from?So companies are reporting straight through press releases, or sec filings. They're going to release them basically starting at four o'clock and all the way through five o'clock every day. Five minutes, 10 minutes. We're going to get batches of press releases coming in, and our reporters are going to be scanning through these reporting earnings, guidance, buybacks M and A's restructuring rebranding. The, these are when companies will we'll announce that kind of stuff. The press releases. That's the raw information that companies are choosing to disclose in a fair manner, the information that they view as material to investors. And again, the Benzinga pro reporters are sifting through all of that information to get you some of the headlines stuff that we think is the most important.But if you do. Look in those press releases. Look in those sec filings on your own. You can also find that information in Benzinga pro. If you go to the newsfeed, there's a button that says sources and you can turn on press releases. You can turn on sec finds and you can get some of that raw information on your own.If. Yeah. And another great way to is the details tool. I use this all the time. The details tool has a tab that's just for sec filings. One is just for press releases. One is just for BZ wire. So if you're looking to see you just want to see press releases on Norwegian cruise line. You can go to the details type in NCLR and click that press release button.And you can see in real time when that's going to come in or you click the. You know how you can have all tab, click, and you can see when it comes in, when we report, when benzinga.com written article about it. So you can stay up to date on if you're watching one particular stock details is a great place, a great hub to go to watch that one stock love it.I love it. Good little tip there, Steve, for the users that pretty much wraps it up. Ladies and gentlemen, these are going to be quick little podcasts, not more than 10 minutes. We'll get you the information that'll prep your day, and then we'll get you on your way to get your trading done for the day. And that'll be it for us today, ladies and gentlemen, everyone have a great trading day. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
