Michael's Articles

Who are the bears with sideline cash to take the stock market to all-time highs? Well, hedge funds have added $25 billion of short equity futures exposure over the last three Commitment of Traders reports, the largest increase in the last ten years. Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) looks promising here, suggests Michael Murphy, editor of New World Investor.
We see real confusion among businesses that has suddenly made them very pessimistic about their future. Consumers and investors, too. Should you be buying? Here’s my take, notes Michael Murphy, editor of New World Investor.
The recent catch-up rallies in German stocks, financial sector stocks, China technology, and even the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) mean we are in a “broadening bull.” Meanwhile, Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) reports January quarter results after the close Wednesday, and again, the whole short-term direction of the stock market depends on the results, highlights Michael Murphy, editor of New World Investor.
The S&P 500 recently shed some ground. But it rose 24% in 2023, and so far in 2024, it is up around 26%. Meanwhile, PayPal Holdings Inc. (PYPL) hit a 52-week high last Monday after it was upgraded by BofA from Neutral to Buy with a $103 target price, observes Michael Murphy, editor of New World Investor.
