Asian Open: Biden administration working on $3 trillion jobs package
March 23, 2021

The Biden administration are reported to be working on a $3 trillion spending bill to be unveiled next week. $1 trillion of this is to be spent on infrastructure, and the remainder to be allocated for what Democrats call “human infrastructure” (students, workers, or those side-lined on the job market). Taken alongside the latest COVID-19 bill brings it to just under $5 trillion in spending. Not bad for two months in office, although someone will have to pay for this no doubt… Regardless, Wall Street likes it.

2 trillion for human infra
simple average will be more than sinkies
not free chicken wings. all still hav to pay back.
yall get wht u voted for

Asian Open: Markets are feeling ‘down’ as COVID cases bite
March 24, 2021

Wall Street was broadly lower overnight as investors weighed up the true cost of Biden’s new $3 trillion spending bill and the resurgence of coronavirus cases. With parts of Europe re-entering lockdowns and daily global COVID-19 rising to around 500k from 260k in six weeks, the great recovery is clearly not out of the woods (and Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus package is clearly old news).

Small cap stocks led Wall Street’s declines overnight, with the Russell 2,000 falling -3.5% during its worst session in a month. We had outlined the potential for further gains, provided prices broken above Friday’s high first. But that died a quick death as prices instead crashed beneath the cluster of support levels to signal a deeper retracement against the dominant, bullish trend. Now trading beneath its 50-day eMA with an opening Marabuzo candle (a large candle which opens at the high of the day and produced a small lower wick) sentiment is clearly unravelling for the little guys.

These 2 Dividend Aristocrats Are Safe Places to Invest Your $1,400 Stimulus Payment
Mar 22, 2021

With the 5.1% increase, investors will now be earning $0.83 every quarter for each share of the business they own. That equates to a yield of around 1.4% -- slightly below the S&P 500 average of 1.5%. However, with the stock trading at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of less than 19, it's a cheap buy given the 27 times earnings the average stock in the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund trades at today.

While Becton Dickinson likely won't turn your $1,400 stimulus payment into $1 million, it also won't put your investment at risk and it can be one of the safest stocks to buy right now, especially if you love dividends.

At a forward P/E of 21, Target is still not too expensive given that the average stock in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF trades at 28 times its earnings. Although there may be a slowdown in sales this year, Target is still going to be a popular place to shop regardless of what happens with COVID-19, given the store's flexible pickup and delivery options (particularly for customers who have gotten used to them), and its wide range of products.

Dividend Aristocrats In Focus: Stanley Black & Decker
Updated on March 23rd, 2021

Going forward, returns will therefore likely be comprised of earnings growth and dividends offsetting valuation multiple contraction. Due to organic growth and acquisitions, we feel that an expected EPS growth rate of 8% per year is sustainable.

The stock also has a current dividend yield of 1.4%. Based on this, total returns would reach approximately 5.3% per year, consisting of earnings growth and dividends offsetting valuation multiple contraction. This is a fairly modest rate of return, meaning Stanley Black & Decker earns a hold recommendation.

Asian Open: Fears of contagion weighs on market sentiment
March 30, 2021

Banks could be facing losses of up to billions of dollars after Archegos Capital Management were forced to liquidate positions on Friday. Japan’s largest investment Bank, Nomura said it could be facing up to $2 billion in losses and Credit Suisse fell over -14% when they said that a fund had failed to cover its margin calls.

Whilst this could turn out to be a contained event, it does leave some worried that there could be others out there. As Warren Buffet once famously said “only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked”, and some are weighing up the odds that the tide has turned (and that perhaps they themselves are naked). Still, Nikkei 225 futures (Nomura is listed on the Nikkei) are taking it within stride and currently 0.9% higher ahead of today’s open.

Partners include Indonesian firms Telin and XL Axiata, and Singapore-based Keppel.

Asian Open: Consumer confidence and the dollar are on a high
March 31, 2021

US consumer confidence hit a one-year high according to a report from the Consumer Board. Rising 19.3 points to 109.7 from 90.4 it shows a strong rebound from consumers and was its fastest monthly rise in nearly 10 years. The survey also showed an improved outlook for employment. Separately, house prices have also risen another 11.1% from this time a year ago, up from a 10.1% rise previously according to the Case-Shiller index.

It was a mixed picture on Wall Street with the technology stocks leading the way lower whilst the Russell 2000 posted a minor gain. The S&P 500 was slightly lower yet remains above its 10-day eMA. It is the second indecision candle in a row which shows prices are coiling ahead of the long weekend and Friday’s Nonfarm payroll report. Consumer staples and information technology were the weakest sectors, and 259 (51.3%) stocks declined whilst 246 (48.7%) advanced.

Target Just Hit a New High. Why the Rally Isn’t Over.
March 30, 2021

Analyst Mark Astrachan reiterated a Buy rating on Target on Tuesday, while raising his target for the stock price to $230 from $220. He argues that the retailer will not only attract a good chunk of the latest round of economic-stimulus spending, but that market-share gains that it has made seem sustainable, especially because of a strong performance in digital orders.

Asian Open: Biden calls for $2 trillion spending splurge
April 1, 2021

This would Biden’s second trillion-dollar package in just two months if this goes ahead, bringing the total to just shy of $4 trillion.

Of course, someone will have to pay for all this and so far it looks like it will be corporate America and the wealthy (assuming one considers a salary over $400k per annum to be wealthy these days). Speaking in Pittsburgh, Biden pitched The American Jobs Plan which would see a large investment in infrastructure, competitiveness and job creation. But, as you can imagine, his plan to increase corporate rates rise 28% from 21% and close loopholes which allows companies to move profits overseas went down like a led balloon with conservatives and major business groups

Biden plans to spend $100bn to bring affordable internet to all Americans
1 Apr 2021

After Covid-19 forced many Americans to work and attend school from home, the disparities between Americans with and without reliable access to internet have become more visible, the Biden administration said, citing “a stark digital divide”.

“The last year made painfully clear the cost of these disparities, particularly for students who struggled to connect while learning remotely, compounding learning loss and social isolation for those students,” the administration wrote.

hopefully dis is not some sick april fool joke
