We're buying 7 shares of Broadcom (AVGO) , at roughly $812 apiece. Following Tuesday's trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will own 80 shares of AVGO, increasing its weighting in the portfolio to 2.38% from 2.18%. AVGO YTD mountain Broadcom YTD As we've noted previously, we think Broadcom will prove to be a key beneficiary of generative artificial intelligence adoption. The acquisition stands to provide a boost to Broadcom's overall gross margin profile, given VMWare's gross margin in the mid-80th percentile. That's firmly above the 75% gross margin we saw for Broadcom overall in fiscal Q3.

We're be buying 200 shares of Coterra Energy (CTRA) at roughly $26.79 each. Following Monday's trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will own 1,750 shares of CTRA, increasing its weighting in the portfolio to 1.7% from 1.5%. We also do not believe shares are adequately reflecting the rise in natural gas prices over the past week and a half. Remember, Coterra's business is about 50-50 nat gas and oil . It's worth noting that CTRA stock was moving lower with nat gas and oil prices on Monday.

The stock market can be many things. However, the stock market stayed open. A move of a few percentage points in the underlying stock can amount to a double- or triple-digit percentage point increase in the options market. The "premium" is what the buyer pays upfront for the option contract. Rather than buy 100 shares of Apple at $180 each, which would cost $18,000, John decides to use an options contract.

We're buying 50 more shares of Starbucks (SBUX), at roughly $95 each. Following Wednesday's trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will own 700 shares of SBUX, increasing its weighting to 2.46% from 2.18%. A sales miss in North America may have some questioning management's ability to achieve longer-term targets of 10% to 12% revenue growth and 15% to 20% earnings growth. As noted in our recent screen of our Club holdings' businesses in China, Starbucks' current exposure to the world's second-largest economy is small. However, we think growth in China can be realized despite weak economic data there.

Following Monday's trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will own 175 shares of PXD, increasing its weighting in the portfolio to 1.26% about from 1.09%. The stock has come down more than 6% since our last buy a week ago, which represented a repurchase of one-third of the shares we had sold a month prior. While the oil market is currently in surplus, an expected "sharp recovery" in oil demand could shift the market back into deficit in the second half of 2023, the International Energy Agency said last week. That's why we're stepping in now, while leaving room for an additional buy of Pioneer shares at a lower price.

We're buying 75 shares of Palo Alto Networks (PANW) at roughly $168.57 a piece. When we initiated our position in Palo Alto Networks on Wednesday, we started small but said we would welcome the opportunity to buy up more shares should the stock pull back. At the same time, even with shares down, we haven't seen any news to alter our thinking on the opportunity that lies ahead for Palo Alto Networks. A negative is that the Palo Alto stock is expensive relative to earnings. Our small buy today gives us the opportunity to further add to the position should shares pull back more following Palo Alto Network's fiscal second-quarter results on Tuesday.

Following Wednesday's trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will own 625 shares of EMR, increasing its weighting in the portfolio to about 1.79% from 1.65%.

For us, that's P & G because their products hold a higher priority when it comes to how consumers spend their money. Now, containerboard — P & G products ship in boxes after all — is seeing a large glut. Just last week at the Barclays Global Consumer Staples Conference, P & G management said they see some "good news on commodity input costs, sequentially. Management also noted that as of now, they are still seeing no real signs of trade-down in P & G products to cheaper alternatives. The price in the store will be more sticky than the price P & G pays for logistics or the prices they are able to negotiate with suppliers.

Supply & Demand — free market On the Y-axis (the vertical one on the left) we have price. The demand line slopes from the upper left to the bottom right, and the supply line goes from the bottom left to the upper right. To illustrate this tight supply, we shift our supply line to the left as moving left on the X-axis indicates a lower quantity of supply. Supply & Demand — supply constrained market As we can see above, this small shift in supply — with no change in demand — creates a new equilibrium point at which we see a higher price level (P2). Supply & Demand — supply constrained with demand destruction By lowering demand, we can reach a new equilibrium level (marked in red).

But to fully understand why rising bond yields make stocks less attractive, we need to look at what those yields mean in the real world and why they move. Why should we care about bond yields Bond yields, which move inversely to bond prices, have been going up in the current environment because inflation is bad for bonds and we've got tons of inflation. Doing so provides us with an earnings yield. Flip that and we get 1/20 or a 5% earnings yield. Now, an investor may have been happy to receive a 5% earnings yield when the risk-free yield was 1%.

Here are nine questions we look to answer before adding a new name to our portfolio. Let's use our recent initiation of Procter & Gamble as an example. For example, we believe that consumer products such as those made and sold by Procter & Gamble are about as durable as they get. In the case of Procter & Gamble, we acknowledge we are paying above the five-year historic average valuation. In the case of Procter & Gamble, one potential red flag would be that current liabilities, those due within the next 12 months, exceed current assets.

We will look at a quantitative way to adjust multiples for growth rates below when we discuss the "PEG ratio." When rates rise, multiples contract – especially higher multiples. In addition to multiple compression in the face of rising rates, investors also increase their focus on profits available today. As a result, not only will multiples be hit, but higher multiples will be hit harder. Adjusting multiples for growth Investors can also attempt to adjust these multiples to account for future growth.

A day trader in her 20s will have much different view of stock diversification than a retiree looking to limit risk. Last week, we spoke about how to diversify a stock portfolio to both balance a longer-term view of your holdings while sharpening a shorter-term focus on factors that might necessitate changes. We're breaking this tutorial into seven sections: Understanding correlations Getting a portfolio started Is S & P 500 diversified? To better illustrate, let's consider the current make up of the S & P 500 — the diversification you'd achieve if you put an initial investment into an S & P 500 exchange-traded fund, or ETF. As of March 31, the end of the first quarter, the S & P 500 weighting was as follows: When you buy into an S & P 500 index fund, roughly 28 cents of every dollar goes into technology, while only 2.6 cents go into materials.

We generate a present value for companies by estimating these outyear numbers and then discounting them to the present day using a discounted cash flow (DCF) model. That increased denominator means that present value of future earnings and cash flows declines. However, the present value of Company B's $10 in earnings is worth increasingly more relative to Company A's as rates rise. When rates go up — or are expected to go up — investors value companies using a lower valuation multiple. These so-called value stocks typically already have low multiples, making the risk of contraction less of an issue.

The solution: The best investors do both — maintain a long view while also focusing on the shorter term. For the sake of this exercise, let's consider one end of the barbell to be the "long-term view," and on the other the "short-term focus." Long-term view stocks First the long-term view: These stocks will be the more passively managed names and identifying them is what will free us up to focus on those that require more active management. As a result, the long-term view beats the near-term dynamics. With the earnings serving to confirm our long-term view, we took a shot at around the $2,600 level — $2,628.56 to be exact.

While the economy and the stock market are not the same, the companies that the stocks represent very much operate in and rely on the real economy. The thing to be mindful of here is that it's not just about strictly buying at lower levels 100% of the time. Building a position is something of an art form and the combination of your cost basis and recent buying activity are what should dictate your subsequent purchase activity. We believe Danaher's stock will go higher over time, allowing us to perhaps strategically book profits down the road.

Oil prices held stayed above the $100 per barrel level — a key economic reading pointed to ongoing inflation – though it was largely in line with expectations. Second: there is the dynamic of what higher energy costs do to consumer spending. But the market declines weighed against the resilient consumer means that there are indeed bargains in this market.

Top-down analysis As the name implies, top-down analysis starts by analyzing the big picture and working your way down. The industrials offers another great example of how a top-down analysis may work. Bottom-up analysis Bottom-up analysis works in the opposite direction. By combining the top-down view with the bottom-up view, the hope is to identify "great houses, in great neighborhoods."
