With such a mixed picture, should investors buy the dip on Uber, or should they continue to stay on the sidelines? But for those who are looking for growth and future profit assets — which is a very tough thing to do in this market — there's Uber. While Uber's growth potential is undeniable, investors have long been skeptical about its ability to do so profitably. The company will generate about $4 billion in free cash flow in 2024 and $5 billion in 2025, he estimates. It's popping on free cash flow.

Apple soared 8% on Friday following the release of its better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings report. The iPhone maker added $178 billion in market value on Friday and helped drive a strong rebound in the stock market. "Apple saves the market from big tech meltdown," Louis Navellier said in a Friday note. The surge added $178 billion to Apple's market capitalization and helped drive an impressive rebound in the broader stock market, with the Dow Jones, Nasdaq 100, and S&P 500 all surging more than 2% in afternoon trades. But Wall Street remains upbeat on Apple, especially after a week of disappointing results from its mega-cap tech peers.

For more than a decade, tech stocks have always come back when their prices slumped. Tech stocks have gotten cheaper in a hurry, with some big names at their cheapest prices in years. Shares of Meta (META) traded under $100 a share Thursday. That's going to hurt the tech sector, and the ongoing inflation problem and tighter financial conditions also spell trouble. On top of all that, while shares are down these tech stocks are really nowhere near a bargain because they've outperformed so dramatically for so long.

The latest inflation data makes it clear that more interest rate hikes are coming. UBS Global Wealth Management explains what investors should do as rates rise and the economy slows. After the government reported another 40-year high in year-over-year inflation, investors are even more confident that the Federal Reserve will implement another 75 basis-point hike in November, and do it again in December. For at least a little while, nothing is going to deter the Fed, according to Mark Haefele, the chief investment officer for UBS Global Wealth Management. "We expect the markets to remain volatile in the coming months, and we maintain our tilt toward value and defensives," Haefele wrote in a note to clients.

New York CNN Business —The back-to-back huge market rallies last week may seem like a distant memory to investors now that stocks have slid for the past four days. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both hit new 52-week lows on Tuesday before turning higher, and the Dow is not far from a 52-week low either. That included three instances from late 2008 when market volatility was at a peak during the Global Financial Crisis. The S&P 500 was up nearly 15% one year following massive back-to-back rallies, compared to normal historical gains of just 9%. But it’s also worth noting that the S&P 500 is still slightly higher than where it closed on September 30, despite the recent losses.

Based on U.S. export inspection data, the United States exported roughly 145 million tonnes of grain and oilseeds in calendar year 2021. In 2021, some 42% of October-December soybean shipments to China left from the U.S. Gulf versus 52% from Pacific ports, though the Gulf share was 58% in 2020. Through 29 days of September, soybean sales to all destinations of 3.1 million tonnes were an 11-year low for the month. About two-thirds of all U.S. grain shipments to Mexico are shipped via interior methods such as rail, but the other third relies on the Gulf. Interior exports accounted for 14% of all U.S. grain and oilseeds last year, third behind the Gulf and Pacific regions.
