☆ Wall Street weighs in on what's wrong with Apple and whether the stock can make a comeback
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-06 | by ( Samantha Subin | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

But the tides have shifted in recent months as investors overlook the $2.6 trillion company for rosier AI opportunities. "Everybody's waiting for Apple to come along," said Max Wasserman, co-founder and senior portfolio manager at Miramar Capital. "Great cash flow, great balance sheet, but they're just not demonstrating that they're going to be the new leader in AI." Apple's AI story Last month, Apple pulled the plug on its decade-long autonomous vehicle project in what many on Wall Street viewed as a move to divert resources toward AI prospects. Another way Apple could satisfy the need for AI progress is through a merger or acquisition of a company with large-scale AI capabilities, Meeks said.

We knew Apple's China market wasn't great. Jim Cramer said the stock could fall another 5% to $160 in its current run of bad form. Jim also maintained his "own it, don't trade it" Apple mantra because the stock is "one of the greatest performers of all times." Apple shares have shed roughly 14.5% from their all-time high of $199.62 each and nearly $3.1 trillion market value on Dec. 14, 2023. The CEO said Apple AI tech is already being used in the Vision Pro mixed reality headset's hand-tracking tool.

What to know about Super Micro Computer Creating servers isn't a new objective for the California-based company. Other shareholders such as Vendig have opted to take a breather on buying shares until the next earnings call. Those headwinds may not hit until 2025 but could hurt the stock if Super Micro fails to differentiate itself. "Super Micro was in the right place at the right time when generative AI took off, there really wasn't a competitor," he said.

As investors ponder how — and where — to invest in this uncertain climate, CNBC Pro asked market experts where they recommend allocating $100,000. "By investing purely in cash and fixed income, you can already get a decent return," Jia said. And with global central banks cutting rates, fixed income will likely benefit from capital gains as well because of the duration." Within fixed income, Jia likes government bonds from developed countries and investment-grade bonds from "reputable firms," which offer "quality" and "longer-term growth" potential. Investors nearing retirement, for instance, should have a more conservative portfolio mix of 80% in fixed income and 20% in equities, according to Jia.

Selling covered calls is a popular options trading strategy, especially among investors looking to generate additional income from their stock holdings. Like any investment strategy, selling covered calls comes with its own set of risks and benefits. The benefits Income generation: The primary benefit of selling covered calls is the ability to generate income on your stock holdings. Candidates for selling covered calls Stocks with moderate growth expectations: Stocks that are expected to grow steadily but not explosively are good candidates. I prefer to sell covered calls only in companies that are investment grade (S & P rating of BBB- or better), and of course, for the most part, avoiding selling covered calls through earnings.

☆ Big insurance companies want more private credit. Here's how Blackstone is using AI to win them over.
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-08 | by ( Bianca Chan | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

Insurance companies represent a big opportunity for private equity firms, who invest with the accumulated premiums paid by millions of everyday Americans. It's not just insurance clients that benefit from AI to bring more transparency to the cloudy private credit market. With private credit, insurance firms can invest in a more diversified set of assets with greater yield (and, albeit risk) than public credit markets, like vanilla corporate bonds. And because insurance companies often have long-term horizons with their financial obligations to policyholders, they can invest in less-liquid asset classes, like private credit. But to win more insurance clients, Blackstone must compete with the likes of Apollo Global Management, Carlyle, and KKR, which have also been keen on insurance.

Trading under the ticker symbol MINT, the ETF holds fixed income securities with durations of no more than one year. In fact, investors flooded into the fund in October, making it the actively managed bond ETF with the highest inflows last month, according to FactSet.
