(Bloomberg) — The record plunge in Tesla Inc. that shaved $82 billion from its value in just one day dragged down Cathie Wood’s innovation ETF. For her, the rout in the fund’s biggest holding was the perfect reason to buy even more.“I was happy to see it get slapped,” Wood said of Tesla’s shares. “We wait for those sorts of days where there is outright fear.

There is some confusion around the concept of trending stocks, because they can mean different things in different contexts. So the first thing we need to clarify is what we mean when we use that phrase.
One way people talk about trending stocks is by referring to stocks that are moving in a generally upward or downward direction over a certain period of time. When the stock is moving upward, we can say it’s trending up. When it’s moving downward, we can say it’s moving down.

Cyclical stocks come in two major classes:

Some go up and down in conjunction with greater trends in the market
Some follow their own annual trajectory based on consumer trends

Identifying cyclical stocks and timing an investment appropriately …read more […]

The survey from the University of Michigan on Friday, however, showed President Donald Trump, a Republican, and his Democratic Party challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden, in “a virtual tie” when assessing consumers’ responses between July and September on which candidate they thought would win the election, not whom they favored or how they intended to vote. “The September gains were primarily in the outlook for the economy, and it was Democrats that posted gains in economic prospects while optimism about the economy weakened among Republicans,” the University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers chief economist Richard Curtin said in …read more […]
