10 stocks tell you why U.S. stocks plunged!

On February 24, 2020, the U.S. stock market plummeted by 1,000 points. Since the outbreak of the new coronavirus epidemic, although market funds have already begun to flow into safe-haven assets such as gold and bond markets, the epidemic does not seem to have an impact on the stock market trend.

As the new coronavirus epidemic spread further, and companies began to publish performance reports, investors began to worry that the epidemic would affect the company's next quarter's profit growth and made predictions for the company's next quarter's performance.

Analysts lowered the companies The profit forecast for the next quarter, and the Fed is expected to cut interest rates in March, the Fed's rate cut indicates that the economy may further decline.

S & P 500 Index

Fed watch

As an investor, you need to know how to value a company using PEG indicators. Generally speaking, the valuation using the PEG indicator is more accurate, but it is only used to analyze the latest quarterly data, because the company's profit growth is always changing, and the long-term valuation of the company may not be applicable. The so-called PEG indicator is the company's price-earnings ratio (PE) divided by the company's annual growth rate of earnings per share (G).

(PE) simply reflects the current value of a stock, and PEG links the current value of the stock to the earnings growth of the stock. For example, the current price-earnings ratio of a stock is 20 times, and the performance report shows that the annual growth rate of EPS is 20%, then the PEG of this stock is 1. When PEG equals 1, it indicates that the valuation given to this stock by the market can fully reflect the growth of its performance.

PEG = PE / G x100

If the PEG is greater than 1, the value of the stock may be overvalued, or the market believes that the company's performance growth is lower than market expectations. When the PEG is less than 1, the value of the stock may be undervalued, or the market believes that the company's performance growth is higher than the market's expectations.

Usually, the company's profit is in the growth stage, and the PEG index will be lower than 1. Investors need to note that like other financial indicators, PEG cannot be used alone, and must be combined with other indicators. The most important thing here is the expectations of the company's performance.

Then, by analyzing the company's profit forecast for the next quarter, we analyze the PEG index of the ten weighted stocks of the S & P 500 index.

Microsoft PEG=0.96

Apple PEG=1.38

Amazon PEG=2.421

Google PEG=2.24

JPMorgan PEG=0.77

Johnson & Johnson PEG=4.28

Visa PEG=2.48

Procter & Gamble PEG=9.52

Mastercard PEG=2.16

Facebook PEG=1.63

The analysis of the PEG index of the top ten heavyweights of the S & P 500 shows that the value of most companies' stocks is overvalued, so the decline in company stock prices is reasonable, and the value of the US stock market may also be overvalued, causing the US stock market to fall.

Investors have begun to switch back to traditional growth stocks

On Thursday, the stock prices of Cisco, Alphabet, and IBM hit new highs. But more importantly, the previously unpopular speculative growth stocks, including stocks bought by many ARK funds, have now begun to rebound. How is this going? Investors' perspective on the market is changing. In the first quarter of this year, mainstream voices in the market believe that the economy will restart strongly, bond yields will rise, and inflation may become a problem later this year. After the end of the first quarter, these expectations were only partially fulfilled. The U.S. economy has indeed restarted strongly, but bond yields fell in the first quarter instead of rising because investors began to believe: 1) Inflation and supply chain disruption may indeed be "temporary", as the Fed insists; 2) The second and third quarters will be the highest points of stock returns and economic growth. Alec Young, a chief investment officer of Tactical Alpha, said: “...

How to judge the diffusive horn pattern ?

As an investment trader, you must understand the use of chart technology analysis to determine the position of market transactions. Now let's talk about a common pattern in chart technical analysis, which is the diffuse speaker pattern. Diffusion horn patterns are different from trend patterns and horizontal patterns. Diffusion horn patterns are more difficult to judge than trend patterns and horizontal patterns, and often cause losses to investment traders. So, how do investment traders judge the spreading horn pattern and make favorable investment transactions? S&P500 Index The price trend of the diffusive horn pattern. When the price rises over some time, then the price falls, and falls below the recent low, then rises, and rises through the last high. It keeps expanding in two directions. If we connect the high point and the low point with straight lines, respectively, we can show a horn shape, so it is called a diffuse horn shape. Because of this, some i...

The era of negative US interest rates coming?

Recently, the US Federal Reserve suddenly cut interest rates and US stocks fell sharply. Most investors believe that the ten-year bull market for US stocks has ended. In terms of the US dollar index, after a period of decline, the US dollar index rebounded sharply, indicating that risk aversion was high, and market funds were flowing to the US dollar to hedge. The Fed ’s interest rate cuts have not saved the US stock market. The Fed ’s interest rates are now very low. If the Fed continues to cut interest rates in the future, the United States will soon enter the era of negative interest rates. Take Europe and Japan as examples. Negative interest rates have not restored the country ’s economy. The future economic situation of the United States is not optimistic. The reason for the negative interest rate is that the investment must be profitable, otherwise, it will not be invested. If the profit is low or loss, the investor will directly deposit the profit to the bank. When socia...

The five stages of company growth!

company Many people who study stocks will analyze the fundamentals of the stock, such as viewing its performance report, PE, PB, PEG, debt ratio, dividend ratio, cash flow, ROE, EPS growth, etc. I don't know if you tried it. After performing many basic analyses, you will feel that the prospects for a particular stock are very good. You have even read the analysis reports of many large banks, or listened to the analysis of many market participants and obtained a consistent high evaluation. Then, you will think that this stock will grow in the future, so you buy it and think that you can use this stock to create a better future from now on, and the final development of the story is the opposite of the fact that the development direction will eventually Put you in trouble or lose money.

The relationship between Dow theory and the stock market!

Many technical analyses, such as morphological analysis and wave theory, use the Dow theory as the basis for the evolution of original technical analysis. Let's talk about the relationship between the Dow theory and today's stock market. Starting from the three most widely known theorems, theorems, market behavior is inclusive and digestive, market behavior follows the trend, and history will repeat itself. Among these three theorems, there are many Charles investment ideas, which can also be said to be the backbone of technical analysis. Charles' first theorem hoped that the market was originally a gathering place for hundreds of news. For example, Jun A believes that a country's civil war and unstable economy caused it to sell the shares of local companies; Jun B learned that the local companies will still have considerable profitability next year, so he bought the shares of local companies; Jun received a third different message and made an investment decision and...
