S&P 500
The S&P 500 is nearly at an all-time high, and it was about six months ago when everyone thought the world would cave-in. I will tell you it isn’t easy to remain optimistic, trying to explain to investors that the outlook for the economy and earnings are strong. Remember, when push comes to shove, earnings always rule the land, and right now the backdrop for stocks still looks strong.
I posted a 15-minute video today going through exactly how I go through the data to develop my outlook for the market, and where I think it is going. It is a member video, again the service is $200 a year, but the first two-week are free for you to try.
Anyway, in the video I make a case for the S&P 500 rising to 3,500. Yes, 3,500.
Why The S&P 500 May Rise To 3,500
Tesla
Well, it was undoubtedly a bizarre day for Tesla, and that may be an understatement. The Tesla news took all the headlines, it was as if the world stopped and the only thing that matter was Tesla. First reports surfaced that the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund took a 3 to 5 percent stake in Tesla stock, sending shares higher. Then in a bizarre move, Elon Musk tweeted his intention to take the company private for $420 per share. It resulted in shares eventually get halted, and trading 10 percent higher on the day.
I don’t know what from happens here; I’m not sure anyones does. But I can tell you; I will not be happy if the company goes private. I know Elon Musk doesn’t care for Wall Street or the Short-Sellers. But it would seem to me that the company is finally turning the corning, and now he wants to go private? I’m sorry, but my intentions and reasons for holding this stock for nearly four years were not to make only a 60 or 70 percent return, which by the way would not be all that much better than the S&P 500. I know it sounds greedy, but I invest in long-term growth companies that I think can grow at multiple times, stocks like Visa or Netflix are examples. We shall see what happens.
BTW I think he could pull this off if he wanted to. Remember he owns 22 percent of the shares already and with the Saudi’s now involved, about 65 to 70 percent of the company is own by the top 10 to 15 holders. Remember Tencent also owns about 4 to 5 percent of the stocks. So yes I think he could pull it off.
Technically, the stock is very close to a major break out. It was headed that way when the Saudi news hit, even before the potential take the stock private news. So, the stock may be heading higher regardless.
Disney
Disney reported results and they weren’t great, but forget about the numbers, because the only that matters at this point are details around Fox, its streaming platform, and potential commentary around how ESPN’s streaming service is doing. It is about the future of Disney. More tomorrow.
Netflix
Netflix got up to resistance and failed at its first try at $357.75. Not a great sign! So we will have to see if makes another attempt tomorrow.
10-year
The technical setup in the 10-year is starting to look, well, pretty bearish. We shall see.
More charts tomorrow, if anyone has some good stocks for me to look message me on StockTwits. No penny stocks or market cap’s sub $2 billion though.
