MicroStrategy Is a Strategic Buy to Capitalize on Bitcoin’s Outperformance

MicroStrategy (MSTR) is a tech company that has spent the last few years accumulating Bitcoin (BTC-USD) on its balance sheet through a well-executed financing strategy. This approach supports my bullish stance on the company, particularly in a rising crypto market. MSTR has outperformed Bitcoin, highlighting the advantages of holding the company’s stock over directly investing in the cryptocurrency. By investing in MSTR, investors can amplify Bitcoin’s potential returns through a regulated stock

Why investors should hold energy plays amid Mideast tensions

Amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East — notably between Israel and Iran — oil prices (CL=F, BZ=F) have been experiencing fluctuations with an overall upward trend. To explore the implications for the broader energy sector, Truist Securities Managing Director of Energy Neal Dingmann shares his insights on Market Domination. Dingmann observes a "bit more risk-off" sentiment within the energy sector, noting an increasing bearish attitude among investors towards oil. However, he cautions that if Middle Eastern tensions were to intensify, the impact on oil prices could be "very quick and quite severe," potentially triggering an immediate 10 to 15% surge in prices. Despite this uncertainty, Dingmann advises investors to maintain their positions in energy stocks. "To me, the reason to hold the group is it's hard to find a sector where you see better shareholder return in the form of bulk dividends and buybacks than you do in the energy stocks these days," adding that he is "cautiously optimistic" on the sector.

How investors can get in on the China stock rally with ETFs

China stocks (^HSI) have extended their rally after the People's Bank of China unveiled new stimulus measures in an effort to recover its struggling economy. Todd Rosenbluth, TMX VettaFi Head of Research, joins Wealth! to discuss how you can play the China trade without cashing in on specific names. "For much of the year, China has underperformed the broader emerging markets. And so investors actually have been gravitating towards these ex-china ETFs... but this China stimulus that we're talking about could be the necessary boost to get more investors focusing on China," Rosenbluth tells Yahoo Finance. He points to ETFs like GXC (GXC) as a broad market exposure ETF, and highlights China A-Shares (ASHR) as an opportunity to get broader exposure to the Chinese stock market. In addition, he notes that KWEB (KWEB) is a great way for investors to get exposed to some well-known names and faster-growing companies in China. Watch the video above to hear some of Rosenbluth's ETF plays for the port strike affecting the US's East and Gulf Coasts.

Labor market in focus, port strike looms ahead: Morning Brief

On today's episode of Morning Brief, Hosts Seana Smith and Madison Mills analyze the market open and discuss some of the biggest stories of the trading day. All three of the major indexes (^DJI,^GSPC, ^IXIC) opened slightly lower on the last trading day of the third quarter. While September is a historically weak month for stocks, markets are on track for one of the strongest in over a decade as they rallied on the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut. Envestnet Solutions co-CIO and group president Dana D’Auria notes that while inflation continues to cool, all eyes have now turned to the state of the labor market. D’Auria stresses the importance of the upcoming September jobs data, explaining that employment data will be the "single biggest factor" weighed by the Fed ahead of its next interest rate decision. She argues that the market has been "overshooting on expectations of the Fed pretty substantially and pretty regularly." With some investors are pricing in another 50-basis-point cut in November, she pushes back, saying, "I wouldn't expect more than another 25-25 this year." As markets enter the fourth quarter, growth is visibly expanding beyond the tech sector. Charles Schwab's Director and Senior Investment Strategist Kevin Gordon explains that there isn't a "definitive leadership shift" from tech to defensive sectors. Instead, he observes that utilities (XLU) and related sectors are playing "catch-up" following the AI-driven tech boom. Notably, sectors like industrials (XLI), financials (XLF), and materials (XLB) are outperforming as cyclical parts of the market fare "relatively well." Gordon characterizes this as a broadening of the market rather than a clear-cut leadership change. Ports along the East and Gulf Coasts are bracing for a strike at midnight, as the International Longshoremen's Union is demanding higher pay and protection from automation for its port workers. Margaret Kidd, University of Houston instructional associate professor of supply chain and logistics technology, tells Yahoo Finance that some estimates project that a port strike could cost the US $5 billion per day. She notes that the last port strike was in 1977 and lasted for 45 days. Back then, trade only made up 16% of the US economy. Today, that figure is 28%; therefore, a port strike would be a "huge hit on the economy," Kidd explains. Meanwhile, the Boeing (BA) factory worker strike heads into its third week, with the union reporting talks with the company have broken off. Wall Street analysts have lowered their targets for Boeing stocks, citing costs associated with the strike. This post was written by Melanie Riehl

Why there's 'upside' in the S&P 500 as the Fed lowers rates

The Federal Reserve kicked off its highly anticipated interest rate easing cycle last week with a 50-basis-point cut. Summit Place Financial Advisors founder and president Liz Miller joins Wealth! to break down how investors can best position their portfolios in a lower-rate environment. "So far this year, we saw the early part of the year really led by, we know, the mega-cap techs and they've held up fine. But what we're going to see now, and we've even started to see in the last week or two, is that some of these other sectors that are more interest-rate sensitive are going to start doing better, like housing and rentals (XLRE) and financials (XLF) and consumer goods (XLP, XLY) that really were struggling in the market the first part of this year," Miller tells Yahoo Finance. With the S&P 500 (^GSPC) at all-time highs, Miller notes that it is largely skewed by mega-cap tech stocks. "When we look at other sectors, they aren't making all-time highs. And our last high in the market was really December 2021," she adds. Thus, she believes that there is a lot of upside in the index as the Federal Reserve continues to cut lower interest rates. As China looks to recover its weak economy through a series of stimulus measures, Miller expects the nation's growth to impact US investments: "What's really needed is to get consumers in China to regain their confidence and start spending again. We look at luxury goods as sort of one of the easy views on what's China spending. We own a lot of multinationals, from Apple (AAPL) to Nike (NKE), that all do better when China is doing better. So we see this in small ways in a lot of US investments too." Miller views Nike as one of her top retail picks following the leadership shake-up. She calls the company "one of the most valuable brands in the world," and with the stock's decline over the last few years, investors can get it at a discount. She expects to see a "turnaround story" in Nike's fundamentals, and hopes to see new leadership return the company to its competitive position.

Microsoft goes nuclear to power AI data centers: Expert

Nuclear energy has been a hot topic in investors' minds after Microsoft (MSFT) and Constellation Energy (CEG) announced an agreement to restore a dormant nuclear power plant to power the tech company’s AI and cloud data centers. Radiant Energy Group founder and managing director Mark Nelson joins Josh Lipton and Julie Hyman to explain how nuclear energy could power the artificial intelligence era. Microsoft wants to restore the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Londonderry Township, Pennsylvania, known for one of the largest nuclear disasters in the US when one of the plant's two reactors melted down in 1979. A nuclear engineer himself, Nelson explains that the plant’s other reactor “kept going for 40 years. The only reason it closed in 2019 is because fossil fuels were really cheap.” He says there’s a renewed interest in nuclear energy today because “we're running out of other energy sources… we're running out of power, and we're realizing that if we're going to have everybody buy electric vehicles, we have to be able to charge it from power plants that run all the time.” Nuclear power plants could help meet the energy-intensive needs of training and running AI, which has brought the utilities sector into focus. Nelson says building new nuclear plants and restoring existing ones could help. “The very best American design for a nuclear plant is being built in China over and over again for about four years or so per reactor and about $3 billion. I don't think we're going to meet China's prices for building our reactors, but we could probably do a lot better building our reactors if we do it in series with the same design, the same plant layout, and we do it over and over," the expert tells Yahoo Finance. “Fortunately, we've got designs that are licensed and ready to go today at existing nuclear plants that already serve tens of millions of customers. Aand those are the plants that are being approached by the data centers. So I think to get over this hump, we have to accept that we've got outstanding equipment ready to install. We've just forgotten how to do it and we need to do it the same way every time.” For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination.
