^Analysis

Will the selling continue?

📉 In theory, this feels nothing more than profit-taking. Most of this move is overdue from a technical perspective.

We announced our Pivot of 4790 on /es a few times in the premium newsletter. If you want these daily insights, upgrade here. After our pivot was breached, we sold off close to 4750, our first target.

It's important to keep your eyes peeled for previous support levels to become resistant and vice versa.

Investors Lab

Intel is now on our radar.

If you are not buying $NVDA or AMD, Intel may be the non-volatile version of the two if you want to invest in computer chips but want something more of a slow, consistent mover. To ensure that mobile phone chips and other products that use Arm's technology can be made in Intel's factories, they have collaborated with U.K.-based chip designer Arm Ltd.

Long-term thinking, as long as the company is trading above 20-30 bucks, this can continue higher.

This company does have a dividend of a 1% annual yield, and INTC beat its EPS estimate 75.00% of the time in the past 12 months, while its overall industry beat the EPS estimate 66.31% of the time in the same period.

Lock In Higher Rates in Bonds or Certificate Deposits While You Still Can

Locking in higher rates in bonds or certificate deposits (CDs) while they are available is important for several reasons:

1. Interest Rate Environment: Economic conditions and monetary policies can lead to fluctuations in interest rates. Locking in higher rates provides a level of certainty and protection against potential future decreases in interest rates.

2. Financial Security: Fixed-rate investments offer stability and predictability in terms of income. This can be especially valuable for individuals seeking a reliable source of income, such as retirees or those with a low-risk tolerance. The fixed interest payments from bonds or CDs can contribute to financial security.

3. Inflation Hedge: Higher interest rates can help mitigate the impact of inflation on the real value of your investment. When interest rates are higher, your investment is more likely to outpace the rate of inflation, preserving your purchasing power.

Now, let's briefly explain the concepts of a 5-year CD and bonds:

• 5-Year CD (Certificate of Deposit): A 5-year CD is a time deposit offered by banks or credit unions. Here are a few places to open an account. Please do your diligence, but our favorite is Ally Bank, Marcus by Goldman Sachs. CDs have a fixed interest rate and a maturity period of five years. During this time, the investor cannot withdraw the funds without incurring a penalty. The goal is only to put money in that you can allow to mature over time.

• Bonds: Bonds are debt securities issued by governments, municipalities, or corporations to raise capital. When an investor buys a bond, they are essentially lending money to the issuer in exchange for periodic interest payments and the return of the principal amount at maturity. Bonds come with different maturities, and the interest rate is determined at the time of issuance.

  • You can buy bonds through brokerage firms, directly through the banks, Treasury Direct, financial advisors, mutual funds and ETFs:

    • Brokerage firm Examples include E*TRADE, CS, Fidelity.
