<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Spending Disappointment</h3>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-spending-disappointment-boj-carry-trade-smci-mc-09272024">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock. The chart of SMCI stock is being used to illustrate the point.</li>
<li>A fortune is to be made in artificial intelligence, but it is not going to be in a straight line. At times, it is going to be treacherous.  It is important to not make mistakes by getting carried away with the momo crowd and listening to momo gurus who have a vested interest that is not your best interest.</li>
<li>The chart shows that momo crowd favorite SMCI fell yesterday on the news of a Department of Justice (DOJ) probe due to allegations of accounting irregularities. A DOJ probe is a serious matter as it is often a criminal probe.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the enthusiasm was at its peak right after SMCI stock was added to S&amp;P 500.</li>
<li>The chart shows from the peak to the low, the stock lost 69% of its value.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the day S&amp;P 500 added SMCI stock, The Arora Report made a bold call. The Arora Report call was that SMCI was worth only $442 &#8211; $486 in the best case. The stock peaked at $1229.  As of this writing in the premarket, SMCI stock is trading at $400.95.  All Arora Report calls are 100% transparent, traceable, and auditable. Members have access to over ten years of archives, including the winners and losers – no cherry picking.</li>
<li>Right now, the momo crowd is sitting on massive losses in SMCI stock. The momo crowd was not able to distinguish between NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Super Micro Computer – the prevailing belief among the momo crowd was that NVDA and SMCI were the same.</li>
<li>The U.S. economy is 70% consumer based. For this reason, prudent investors pay attention to personal income and personal spending.  Just released personal income and spending data is disappointing.  Here are the details of the new personal income and spending data:
<ul>
<li>Personal income came at 0.2% vs. 0.4% consensus.</li>
<li>Personal spending came at 0.2% vs. 0.3% consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>PCE is the Fed&#8217;s favorite inflation gauge.&nbsp; Here are the details:
<ul>
<li>PCE came at 0.1% vs. 0.1% consensus.</li>
<li>Core PCE came at 0.1% vs. 0.2% consensus.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, the data is in line with expectations. As such, this data should have no impact on the stock market.</li>
<li>Even though the stock market pays a lot of attention to PCE, in The Arora Report analysis, economists have become really good at projecting PCE.&nbsp; As such, investors&#8217; expectations, in general, should be that PCE will come in line with consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Japan</h3>
Bank of Japan (BOJ) actions are very important for U.S. investors. The reason is the carry trade.  In carry trade, funds borrow in yen and invest in the U.S. stock market. Lately, they have been buying AI stocks. Japan's ruling party LDP has chosen Shigeru Ishiba as its new leader. Ishiba is the next prime minister of Japan. In The Arora Report analysis, yen is rallying on the news as Ishiba is a supporter of BOJ.
In The Arora Report analysis, this development is negative for the carry trade and positive for the yen position using ETF Invesco CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXY#NYSE">FXY</a>) in The Arora Report&#8217;s ZYX Allocation.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h3>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Alphabet Inc Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
In the early trade, money flows are neutral in Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and NVDA.
In the early trade, money flows are positive in SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h3>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h3>
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is on track to have the best September ever.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h3>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h3>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

Personal Income And Spending Disappoint, Super Micro Computer Lesson, BOJ Supporter As Japan PM

Struggling chipmaker Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>)&nbsp;continues to receive <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40968128/qualcomm-reportedly-eyes-potential-takeover-of-intel-amid-60-stock-decline-but-antitrust-concerns-lo" rel="noreferrer noopener">takeover proposals from</a> chip companies, the latest being Arm Holdings Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) following Qualcomm Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) proposal earlier.
Arm Holdings recently proposed to acquire Intel&#8217;s product unit. However, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-27/arm-rejected-by-intel-after-approaching-it-about-buying-product-unit?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> that Intel is not looking to sell the business division.
Intel stock plunged 31% as it failed to capitalize on the artificial intelligence shift, which is something that contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) excelled at.

Meanwhile, some reports indicated Intel&#8217;s plans to convert its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40897994/whats-going-on-with-intel-stock-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">foundry business into</a> an independent unit, including exploring a spinoff into a publicly traded company. The chipmaker also explored divesting stake in the programmable chip unit&nbsp;Altera.
However, Intel&#8217;s recent big wins included a&nbsp;U.S. chipmaking deal from&nbsp;Amazon.Com Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Amazon Web services and the U.S. Chip grant.
The chipmaker also clarified that it would not divest a majority stake in the struggling <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40941075/whats-going-on-with-autonomous-driving-stock-mobileye-thursday" rel="noreferrer noopener">Israeli autonomous driving company</a> Mobileye Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBLY#NASDAQ">MBLY</a>), whose stock is down 66% in the last 12 months.
Intel&#8217;s exploration of stake sales to companies like Qualcomm and Arm could hinder its U.S. subsidy over antitrust grounds, the Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/ff0ca77d-ad35-45ba-a493-201a26932efb" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

The semiconductor sector had a good week, buoyed by the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/09/41046485/whats-going-on-with-nvidia-braodcom-intel-and-other-chip-stocks-on-thursday" rel="noreferrer noopener">key rate cuts</a> in the U.S. and China, an upbeat quarterly print from Micron Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), and continued AI investments from Big Tech companies.
Semiconductor ETFs, Invesco Semiconductors ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSI#NYSE">PSI</a>) and SPDR S&amp;P Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XSD#NYSE">XSD</a>), gained 5%- 7% in the last five days.

 </style>When conducting a detailed analysis of NVIDIA, the following trends become clear: 
<ul>
<li>
The stock's Price to Earnings ratio of 58.15 is lower than the industry average by 0.79x, suggesting potential value in the eyes of market participants.
</li>
<li>
With a Price to Book ratio of 52.32, which is 7.53x the industry average, NVIDIA might be considered overvalued in terms of its book value, as it is trading at a higher multiple compared to its industry peers.
</li>
<li>
The Price to Sales ratio of 32.07, which is 3.18x the industry average, suggests the stock could potentially be overvalued in relation to its sales performance compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
The company has a higher Return on Equity (ROE) of 30.94%, which is 27.98% above the industry average. This suggests efficient use of equity to generate profits and demonstrates profitability and growth potential.
</li>
<li>
The Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $19.71 Billion is 0.79x below the industry average, suggesting potential lower profitability or financial challenges.
</li>
<li>
The company has higher gross profit of $22.57 Billion, which indicates 1.14x above the industry average, indicating stronger profitability and higher earnings from its core operations.
</li>
<li>
The company's revenue growth of 122.4% exceeds the industry average of 3.04%, indicating strong sales performance and market outperformance.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727449209_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio assesses the extent to which a company relies on borrowed funds compared to its equity.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
By evaluating NVIDIA against its top 4 peers in terms of the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following observations arise:
<ul>
<li>
NVIDIA is in a relatively stronger financial position compared to its top 4 peers, as evidenced by its lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.17.
</li>
<li>
This implies that the company relies less on debt financing and has a more favorable balance between debt and equity.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
The low P/E ratio suggests that NVIDIA may be undervalued compared to its peers in the Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment industry. However, the high P/B and P/S ratios indicate that the market values the company's assets and sales at a premium. On the other hand, the high ROE, gross profit margin, EBITDA, and revenue growth highlight NVIDIA's strong financial performance and growth potential relative to its industry counterparts.

Exploring The Competitive Space: NVIDIA Versus Industry Peers In Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment

Good Morning Traders! In today&#39;s Market Clubhouse Morning Memo, we will discuss SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, META, and TSLA.
Our proprietary formula, exclusive to Market Clubhouse, dictates these price levels. This dynamic equation takes into account price, volume, and options flow. These levels are updated every day and shared with all Clubhouse Members, prior to the opening of the market.
We recommend closely monitoring these stocks, and be prepared to leverage potential breakouts or reversals. As always, stay alert and ready to adjust your tactics based on the market&#39;s pulse to optimize your trading gains. Now, let&#39;s dive into the stock analysis:
<h3>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</h3>
SPY&nbsp;(ARCA: SPY) is currently trading near the key level of 572.15. For bulls, the first goal is to push the price higher toward 573.50, which would suggest strong buying momentum. If the price can hold above 573.50, the next target would be a move to 574.65. If buyers continue to dominate, we could see a push toward 575.67, with a high bull target of 576.62 for the session.
Should the price fail to hold 572.15 as support, the bears will likely aim for a test of 571.06. If selling pressure increases, sellers could push the price down to 569.98. A breakdown below this level could lead to further downside with support at 569.16. If the selling intensifies, the low bear target for the day is 567.81.
<h3>Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 </h3>
QQQ (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqq#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) is currently trading around our critical level of 487.69. Bulls will be looking for price action to remain above this level and build strength toward 490.05. If buyers can maintain momentum, we may see a rally up to 491.82. Further strength could push QQQ to a test of 493.60, with the high bull target for the day set at 495.35.
On the downside, if QQQ struggles to hold above 487.69, bears may take control and look to drive the price lower to 486.10. If weakness continues, 483.95 comes into play as a potential target. A break below 481.73 could trigger more selling, with a low bear target at 479.03.
<h3>Apple Inc.</h3>
Apple (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)&nbsp;is currently auctioning near 227.82. For bulls, a key goal is to hold 229.03 as support and drive the price toward 230.25. Should buying pressure continue, we could see a move to 231.76. If buyers maintain control of the session, the price may rally to a high bull target of 233.28.
If 227.82 does not hold, bears will likely seek to test 226.90 on the downside. Continued selling pressure may push Apple lower to 226.08. If this level fails to hold, the price could slide further toward 225.31. In an aggressive sell-off, the low bear target for the day would be 223.87.
<h3>Microsoft Corp. </h3>
Microsoft&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) is trading around 430.25, with bulls looking to hold this level as support and push toward 431.25. If buyers can sustain momentum above 431.25, the next target would be 432.49. A strong rally could see the price reach a high bull target of 434.49 for the day.
If 430.25 cannot hold as support, sellers may push Microsoft down to 429.25. Continued downside pressure could lead to a test of 428.48. If selling accelerates, the bears will aim for a low target of 426.00 on the day.
<h3>NVIDIA Corporation</h3>
NVIDIA (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is currently trading around 121.97. Bulls are focused on pushing the price to 123.41, which would serve as a strong support level if held. Continued buying pressure may lead to a test of 125.21, with additional strength pushing the price to 126.84. The high bull target for the session is 128.10.
If 121.97 fails to hold, bears could target 120.27 for a downside move. If sellers increase their pressure, the price may drop to 119.44. A break below this level could lead to further losses, with a low bear target of 116.61.
<h3>Alphabet Inc Class A</h3>
Alphabet&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/googl#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)&nbsp;is trading around the key level of 163.79, with bulls looking to hold this level as support and drive the price to 165.41. If buying momentum continues, a rally toward the high bull target of 167.04 could be in play for the day.
If Alphabet fails to hold 163.79, bears may push the price down to 161.79. Should sellers maintain control, the price could drop to 160.36, with a further downside move potentially bringing the low bear target of 158.54 into focus.
<h3>Meta Platforms Inc</h3>
Meta (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/meta#NASDAQ">META</a>) is currently trading near 565.53. Bulls will aim to keep the price above this level and push toward 573.25. A continuation of buying strength could drive the price to 580.17, with the high bull target for the session at 585.73.
If 565.53 fails as support, bears may target 559.29. Continued selling pressure could see the price drop to 553.05. If the sell-off persists, Meta may hit a low bear target of 548.44.
<h3>Tesla Inc.</h3>
Tesla (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is trading around the key level of 256.34. Bulls will be looking for a move higher to 257.56 and beyond. If buyers continue to push, we could see a rally up to 259.81. If the broader market supports a bullish move, Tesla may test the 262.68 level, with a high bull target at 264.46.
If 256.34 fails to hold as support, bears will likely aim for a test lower at 254.28. Further selling could lead to a drop to 252.38. If the bears maintain control, Tesla could slide to the low bear target of 250.25.
Final Word: Today&#39;s session is critical as several key economic reports are released, potentially shaping market sentiment. At 8:30 AM ET, we&#39;ll receive the Personal Income, Personal Spending, and August PCE Price Index reports, which are closely watched by the Federal Reserve to assess inflation trends. These releases could influence the market&#39;s direction early in the day. At 10 AM ET, the final University of Michigan Sentiment report for September, along with 1-Year and 5-10 Year inflation expectations, will be crucial in gauging consumer confidence. Finally, at 11 AM ET, the Kansas City Fed Services Activity for September will round out the day&#39;s economic data. These indicators combined could create heightened volatility, so it&#39;s important to stay agile and manage risk effectively. Good luck, trade safe, and Happy Friday!

Shares of companies in the broader semiconductor space are trading lower. The sector may be pulling back after rising Thursday on strong earnings from Micron.

The quarterly performance of Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), and Micron Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) adequately reflects that the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/09/41046485/whats-going-on-with-nvidia-braodcom-intel-and-other-chip-stocks-on-thursday" rel="noreferrer noopener">artificial intelligence wave</a> is in no mood to slow down in the near term.
Hyperscalers, including Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Google parent Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) remain aggressively invested in their artificial intelligence ambitions. The U.S. and China&#8217;s key rate cuts also added an additional tailwind for the capital-intensive industry.
Microsoft committed 14.7 billion Reais ($2.70 billion) over three years to Brazil&#8217;s cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, according to a Reuters report.

The company&#8217;s ConectAI program will train 5 million people with AI skills over the next three years. Microsoft already has two Azure regions: one in São Paulo state, which it launched in 2014, and another in Rio de Janeiro, which it launched in 2020.
Earlier this week, Microsoft <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/41020845/microsoft-invests-1-3b-to-boost-ai-skills-and-infrastructure-in-mexico" rel="noreferrer noopener">earmarked $1.3 billion</a> over the next three years to drive Mexico&#8217;s AI infrastructure and initiatives, including training 5 million people.

Google is eyeing a $3.3 billion investment in South Carolina to build two new data centers. The search engine giant&#8217;s plans included two new data center campuses in Dorchester County and expanding its existing data center campus in Berkeley County, Reuters cites the South Carolina governor&#8217;s office as saying.
Alphabet committed $2 billion to the Dorchester County facilities, potentially creating 200 new operational jobs. According to Reuters, the company also earmarked $1.3 billion for Berkeley County.
Another positive update for the industry is the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/ff0ca77d-ad35-45ba-a493-201a26932efb" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> indicating struggling chipmaker Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and the U.S. government are trying to finalize the $8.5 billion in direct funding for the chipmaker before the end of the year.
Therefore, Intel&#8217;s exploration of stake sales to companies like Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) could also disrupt its chances of bagging the subsidy over antitrust grounds. Intel had already faced <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/08/40648165/intel-weighs-major-business-split-factory-delays-amid-strategic-review-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">Senator scrutiny over</a> its cost-cutting measures as the subsidy aims to create additional U.S. jobs.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Growing Optimism</h3>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-china-bringing-optimism-wall-street-positioning-mu-mc-09262024">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock. The chart of MU stock is being used to illustrate the point.</li>
<li>In yesterday's Morning Capsule, we wrote the following about Micron earnings in advance:</li>
<li>Going into earnings, here are the key points:
<ul>
<li>Whisper numbers are below the consensus numbers. This is an oddity among AI stocks. Among AI stocks, whisper numbers have consistently been higher than consensus numbers.</li>
<li>Wall Street positioning is negative.</li>
<li>The chart shows that MU stock has bounced off of the support zone.</li>
<li>Historically, when the foregoing factors are combined, the stock goes up after earnings.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The chart shows a strong up move in MU after earnings were released after the market closed yesterday.</li>
<li>The chart illustrates the value of understanding positioning and the big edge it gives to investors. Micron earnings were mediocre.  The real reason behind the strong move is negative Wall Street positioning.  If the same earnings would have come out a few months ago, when Wall Street positioning was very positive, the stock would have been down $20.  </li>
<li>The chart shows that in the premarket, MU is breaking above the resistance zone. If MU closes above the resistance zone shown on the chart, this zone will become a support zone.</li>
<li>The move up in MU stock is bringing in extremely aggressive buying in most semiconductor stocks in the premarket.&nbsp; In turn, the buying is becoming aggressive in most AI stocks in the premarket.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>We have been sharing with you details of China's stimulus plan.&nbsp; Now, with a potential addition, China's stimulus plan is about to become a bazooka.
<ul>
<li>China is considering injecting up to one trillion yuan into state owned banks for the purpose of expanding their capacity to loan more money.</li>
<li>Stocks in Hong Kong are up 4.2% and up 3.6% in Shanghai.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The strong move up in Chinese stocks brought in optimism first to Asian stocks, then to Europe, and now to the U.S. in a round robin fashion.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, deflation in China has helped U.S. inflation.&nbsp; Now all of the stimulus in China is going to start inflation in China.&nbsp; Some of that inflation is going to come back to the U.S. at a time when the Fed is aggressively cutting rates.&nbsp; All of this could spell trouble for the stock market down the road.&nbsp; However, for the time being, no one is connecting the dots as the party shifts to full swing.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>Weekly initial claims came at 218K vs. 224K consensus. This indicates that the jobs picture is strong</li>
<li>Durable orders came stronger than expected.&nbsp; Here are the key points:
<ul>
<li>Headline Durable Orders came at 0.0% vs. -2.9% consensus.</li>
<li>Durable Orders Ex-Transportation came at 0.5% vs. 0.1% consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Just released GDP data shows that economic growth is strong.&nbsp; Here are the details:
<ul>
<li>Q2 GDP Third Estimate came at 3.0% vs. 3.0% consensus.</li>
<li>GDP Deflator Third Estimate came at 2.5% vs. 2.5% consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The foregoing economic data is bringing in aggressive buying in the stock market.&nbsp; The reason is that normally when the economy is this strong, the Fed is not aggressively cutting interest rates.&nbsp; Here, the economy is strong, and the Fed is aggressively cutting rates.</li>
<li>Here is the key question for prudent investors: Did the Fed make a mistake with the 50 bps cut?&nbsp; Stay tuned for more.</li>
<li>Powell comments are ahead and may be market moving.</li>
</ul>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h3>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h3>
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is seeing buying along with tech stocks.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h3>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h3>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls.

Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) committed a minimum of 40 billion yuan ($5.7 billion) in resources to help merchants on Taobao and Tmall during the&nbsp;Singles' Day&nbsp;shopping festival.
Taobao and Tmall Group see 30 billion yuan in consumer vouchers and resources up to 10 billion yuan to boost traffic, SCMP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3279954/alibabas-singles-day-preparation-includes-us57-billion-aid-merchants" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
The platforms also introduced new measures to reduce merchant operational costs, including waiving commission fees.

The Singles' Day shopping festival was originally a 24-hour event named for its date, November 11th, or 11/11.
During Alibaba's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39143383/alibabas-618-shopping-festival-boosts-sales-with-big-brands-like-apple-xiaomi-leading-the-way" rel="noreferrer noopener">618 shopping festival</a> in May and June, gross merchandise value (GMV) grew by 13.6%, but profit&nbsp;margins were hit, SCMP cites third-party data.
The margin hit probably reflects the intense domestic price war. Brands, including&nbsp;Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>),&nbsp;Xiaomi Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACF#OTC">XIACF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>), and Huawei Technologies Co, each exceeded 100 million yuan in gross merchandise value.
Earlier this week, Chinese stocks led by Alibaba got a boost from&nbsp;China's central bank's&nbsp;plans to cut <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/41004045/whats-going-on-with-chinese-stocks-alibaba-nio-xpeng-li-auto-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">banks' reserve requirement ratio (RRR)</a> by 50 basis points or half a percentage point and trim the seven-day reverse repurchase rate to 1.5% from 1.7%.
China followed the U.S. Fed rate cut a week ago to spur growth by unlocking discretionary spending.
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40927136/amazon-boosts-worker-pay-to-over-29hour-invests-2-2b-as-holiday-kicks-in" rel="noreferrer noopener">Recent reports indicated</a> that Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Walmart Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) are boosting workers' hourly wages before the holiday season. In 2023, Amazon's&nbsp;U.S. sales reached&nbsp;$12.4 billion on Cyber Monday, up 9.6%, quashing the estimated $12 billion. The total online sales for Cyber Week reached $38 billion, topping the $37.2 billion estimate.
Alibaba stock has been up over 11% in the last 12 months as the critical rate cuts have offered respite from domestic economic weakness.
Price Action: BABA stock is trading higher by 7.24% at $102.34 premarket at the last check on&nbsp;Thursday.

Alibaba Follows Amazon And Walmart, Pours $5.7B Into Holiday Sales Push

The U.S. presidential election could act as a catalyst for the crypto market, and as both candidates have expressed their support for digital assets, a win for either of the candidates may be a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41024955/novogratz-predicted-kamala-harris-would-embrace-crypto-heres-how-long-it-took">win for the crypto market</a>, according to QCP Capital.
What Happened: Cryptocurrency markets continue to consolidate, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) currently trading above the key $64,000 level at $64,300, though remaining in a tight range between $62,000 and $64,000.
Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) is experiencing a similar pattern, hovering near the $2,630 mark.
The report highlights the remarks by presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who reaffirmed her support for cryptocurrencies and pledged to make the U.S. a global leader in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41037763/kamala-harris-strengthens-crypto-stance-the-us-will-remain-dominant-in-ai-and-quantum-comp">&#8220;AI, quantum computing and blockchain.&#8221; </a>
This marks the second time this week that Harris has publicly endorsed digital assets, indicating that cryptocurrencies could play a central role in her economic plan.
"With both presidential candidates pledging their support for crypto, the election of either candidate would be a win for the crypto ecosystem in the U.S," QCP Capital noted.
This bipartisan backing offers a rare moment of optimism in a market that often faces regulatory uncertainty. 
The report further emphasizes that an anticipated influx of liquidity, as central banks globally begin easing rate cycles, is likely to drive crypto prices higher.

In addition to the election&#8217;s potential impact, the report also points to key macroeconomic events, including U.S. GDP readings and comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. 
Any signs of shifts in monetary policy could provide the market with much-needed momentum. 
The recent surge in chipmaker stocks like Micron, following an upward revenue forecast revision, hints at a possible rally in related tech assets such as Nvidia, which historically correlates with positive movements in crypto.
&#8220;We favor long-dated structures with unlimited upside to capitalize on potential parabolic advances in prices,&#8221; it further stated, suggesting that a favorable election outcome, coupled with easing monetary policies, could set the stage for a robust crypto rally.
What&#8217;s Next: These developments and more will be discussed in detail at Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on November 19, where industry experts and policymakers will explore the evolving crypto landscape and its intersection with politics and macroeconomics.
