Amazingly, zero-day options (which expire on the same day they are issued) now account for 43% of all options, up from only 6% back in 2017.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">This essentially means that the \u201ctail is wagging the dog\u201d via daily market swings generated by ultra-short-term trading. In our firm, as I said on Friday\u2019s podcast, we like to call these option gyrations \u201cSkynet,\u201d after the<span class=\"paywall-full-content no-summary-bullets invisible\"> Terminator movies \u2013 where AI takes over the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Speaking of AI, I am ecstatic with the results delivered by both Nvidia (NVDA) and Super Micro Computer (SMCI), since they are both characterized by explosive sales and earnings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">AI is essentially our machines studying us \u2013 which is essentially no different than our pets studying us for clues about what we like. Whether our machines are merely observing us and providing a solution or plotting against us is always up for debate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">On Wednesday, Nvidia posted massive sales and earnings surprises of +20.9% and +29.2%, respectively, while raising their guidance 37.5% above analyst estimates!<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Wow, I think we can all agree that AI is hotter than hot and Nvidia is the leader of the pack. Nvidia posted a 101.6% annual sales increase ($13.51 billion vs. $6.7 billion) and a 429.4% annual earnings increase ($2.70 per share vs. 51 cents per share).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">With such results, I am proud that Nvidia is the largest holding in our managed accounts. I have been recommending Nvidia for years and, looking forward, Nvidia is unquestionably the new market leader.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">These two great stocks fell after releasing great news. Why? This is another August \u201cshenanigan,\u201d led by big trading firms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">For instance, Citadel\u2019s trading algorithms are largely based on mean revision, or \u201cwhat goes up must come down,\u201d so after Super Micro Computer reported second quarter annual sales growth of 70.3%, it and other AI stocks got hit with profit-taking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Mean reversion in Citadel\u2019s algorithm tries to shake out investors who don\u2019t think Nvidia or Super Micro Computer\u2019s sales and earnings are sustainable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Fortunately, our energy stocks have been an oasis as the AI stocks were hit with profit-taking, but I also believe that SMCI and NVDA will revive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">I should add that a noted perpetual bear, Morgan Stanley strategist Michael Wilson, said that Thursday\u2019s reversal in Nvidia shows that the 2023 market rally is \u201cexhausted,\u201d predicting more declines to come.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">To his credit, Wilson recently admitted that his recent bearish calls were wrong, so far, but it is easy to explain why he and Morgan Stanley are often so bearish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Morgan Stanley sells a lot of private credit and alternative investments to its clients, so it needs a prominent bearish strategist to divert its clients away from the stock market into their more profitable alternative investments, where Morgan Stanley collects big fees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">As a result, Michael Wilson\u2019s views, in my opinion, have no credibility, since he and Morgan Stanley have a major conflict of interest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Regarding AI, self-driving cars are still a work in progress, not ready for prime time. Test cars in San Francisco occasionally drive on wet concrete or hit fire trucks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">When the 5G network in San Francisco had a glitch, all self-driving cars abruptly stopped, awaiting new instructions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Please do not worry about AI too much, since AI can be unplugged anytime it annoys you. In the meantime, <em>Bloomberg <\/em>reported that San Francisco residents are becoming increasingly annoyed with the Waymo self-driving taxis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">I can tell from some of your e-mails that many of you are over-concentrated in AI stocks and do not own any energy stocks. I have been saying that energy stocks benefit from a seasonal surge in demand in the summer, but since they were down early in the year, some did not believe me, even though this seasonal demand has happened every year I have been alive. I want you to own AI, energy, and other stocks, too!<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">What our AI-driven stock optimization models do is to strive to find stocks that \u201czig\u201d when other stocks \u201czag.\u201d Our optimization models strive to combine individual stocks into smooth growth in a diversified portfolio. Thanks to our optimization model and diversification, we can weather a correction in AI stocks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Due to this strategy, the last two months have delivered some of our strongest relative performance vs. the S&amp;P 500 since last October and November, as we have benefited from both AI and energy-related stocks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">As long as you remain diversified, you can invest confidently. That said, I should add that I do not have any exposure to financial stocks that can suffer from high interest rates or insurance stocks subject to large payouts for natural disasters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Even though the financial media constantly tries to scare you to boost ratings, if you have a diversified portfolio of fundamentally superior stocks, you can invest confidently and not worry about all the external distractions that can derail a fundamentally superior stock portfolio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Another sub-sector that is serving us well now is our shipping stocks, which continue to perform well due to the fact that many cargo ships remain at sea longer than normal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Initially, that was because energy is being shipped from all over the world and the shipping routes are longer than ever. Another glitch is that the Panama Canal is suffering from a drought, with low water levels, so there is a big backlog, since some ships have to unload some of their cargo due to low water levels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Cargo ships have priority in the Panama Canal, which is causing ships transporting LNG and refined products to wait longer to traverse the canal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In addition, Europe\u2019s Rhine River in Germany is at a seasonal low, and our Mississippi River has also failed to recover from last year\u2019s low levels, so river traffic is backing up and resulting in shipping delays.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The Ukraine\/Russia War and China\u2019s Deflation Have Slowed Global Growth<\/h4>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Speaking of slower ships fighting low tides in tight places, the shipments of goods, excluding defense and aircraft, declined 0.2% in July, so the manufacturing sector remains suppressed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">That may be one reason why the Commerce Department announced last Thursday that durable goods orders declined 5.2% in July after a big surge in June.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In July, commercial aircraft orders declined 44%. Excluding transportation, durable goods orders rose 0.5%. Also, July defense orders rose 2.5% after declining in previous months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Speaking of defense orders, the Presidential debates on Wednesday triggered a big reaction when Vivek Ramaswamy called for ending our proxy war between Ukraine and Russia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">When Chris Christie tried to defend spending more on Ukraine, the crowd started to boo. Clearly, the billions of dollars being sent to Ukraine, while major U.S. cities decay and Maui struggles to recover, is now a very contentious issue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Amazingly, the Ukraine war has cost the U.S. more in the past 18 months than 20 years of occupation and war in Afghanistan. Russia has pivoted to Northeastern Ukraine and is trying to retake territory Ukraine recaptured last fall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Complicating matters further, the Biden Administration last week urged U.S. citizens to flee Belarus immediately, warning against any travel. Officially, the State Department categorized Belarus as a Level 4 risk, as there is a growing chance that Russia may try to invade Ukraine via Belarus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Ukraine has now lost as many as 400,000 soldiers and well over 100,000 injured, so even if Ukraine wants to continue to fight, it is running out of troops. The cost and human casualties of this war are now becoming increasingly intolerable, so it will be interesting to see if a ceasefire agreement will be possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">I should add that Russia closed its airports three times last week due to Ukrainian drone attacks around Moscow, so the war is no longer just defensive and has escalated well beyond Ukraine\u2019s border.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Turning to China, the Biden Administration\u2019s National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, on Tuesday called on China to be more transparent about the state of its economy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Specifically, Sullivan said, \u201cFor global confidence, predictability and the capacity of the rest of the world to make sound economic decisions, it\u2019s important for China to maintain a level of transparency in the publication of its data.\u201d I should add that U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo is scheduled to travel to China soon for high level talks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Meanwhile, the Biden Administration\u2019s economic policy of aggressively onshoring semiconductor and battery manufacturing is showing signs of stress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">For example, a Biden ally, namely the UAW, said that Stellantis (STLA) is threatening to move production of its Ram 1500 trucks to Mexico from suburban Detroit to reduce costs; otherwise automakers have to raise prices on gas-powered vehicles to compensate for their growing EV losses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The Mustang (F) Mach-e now has a 116-day supply and even GM\u2019s (GM) mighty Hummer now has over a 100-day supply. Clearly, the Big 3 are struggling to sell EVs in the wake of Tesla\u2019s (TSLA) price cuts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em>The Wall Street Journal <\/em>last week published an opinion piece titled, \u201cThe Electric-Vehicle Bubble Starts to Deflate.\u201d Essentially, this opinion piece said that the \u201ccollapsing electric-vehicle bubble \u2026 is a lesson in how industries built by government often also fail because of government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em>The Journal<\/em> cited a \u201cplethora of Chinese EV start-ups launched in the past decade\u201d and noted that many of these start-ups are failing as Beijing reduced industry subsidies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em>The Journal<\/em> article also said that scrapyards around China are littered with EVs with outdated technology. Other examples: Volkswagen\u2019s (OTCPK:VWAGY) joint venture in China announced up to a $8,200 discount on its new ID.6 model, while GM dealers in China are now discounting EVs by more than 25%. In the U.S., EV inventory has swelled to 103 days of supply according to Cox Automotive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The U.S. EV incentives may continue to expand, since clearly there is much more supply than demand. Furthermore, China\u2019s deflation in EVs should spread around the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The WSJ concluded by saying, \u201cBusiness failures are inevitable in a dynamic economy, but government will be mainly responsible for the destruction that results from its force-fed EV transition &#8211; and the damage may only just be starting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">One casualty of China\u2019s slowdown appears to be Germany, since the Ifo institute\u2019s sentiment gauge declined to 85.7 in August, down from 87.4 in July.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In a statement, Germany\u2019s Economic Minister Robert Habeck said, \u201cThe restrictive interest rate environment and the weak global economy \u2014 especially the developments in China \u2014 make it difficult for us as an export nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Ifo\u2019s Klaus Wohlrabe added, on Bloomberg TV, that the Ifo institute expects German output to hover around the \u201czero growth line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Looking forward, I expect that the U.S. will have to import some of China\u2019s deflation, causing U.S. inflation rates to decline to the Fed\u2019s 2% annual target range in the upcoming months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">This will allow the Fed to begin cutting key interest rates by its December FOMC meeting. I also expect that we\u2019ll see further Fed cuts in early 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Then, as the Presidential election approaches, the Fed usually likes to crawl into a hole and hide, since it does not want to be part of the Presidential debates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Overall, I expect that the breadth and power of the stock market will steadily improve, thanks to healthy consumer spending.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><em>Navellier &amp; Associates owns Nvidia Corp.
