A TikTok ban is bound to happen eventually, according to Deepwater's Gene Munster. A ban could spell trouble for US stocks with business in China, which might retaliate. Munster predicted the Biden administration could allow TikTok to stay this year, in order to quell escalating tensions between the US and China. And while a TikTok ban initially seems like a positive for US rivals like Meta's Reels, the House committee showed a large concern over the app's addictiveness and its consequences on teen mental health. "When TikTok gets banned I think Meta will come back into the spotlight and have to answer the same questions that TikTok was asked."

Potential government action against Chinese social media giant TikTok could result in backlash that damages U.S. companies, according to traders and guests on CNBC's " Fast Money ."

Now let's see how the fast-moving banking turbulence impacts the highly sensitive US housing market. "It seems that home sales activity has bottomed out, and 2023 will be the turning point for the housing market," she said.

Share Share Article via Facebook Share Article via Twitter Share Article via LinkedIn Share Article via EmailJerome Powell's testimony could lay the groundwork for a sell-off in tech, says Deepwater's MunsterGene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss what happens to tech stocks if Jerome Powell is hawkish in his upcoming comments, how Munster acts long-term towards tech stocks, and more.
Tech stocks are vulnerable to a sell-off this week as Jerome Powell testifies to Congress, Gene Munster said. The first half of 2023 will likely be rough for tech stocks but further strength lies ahead later this year, Munster said. "[I] suspect that he's going to be pretty hawkish, and I suspect that that's going to kind of lay the groundwork for a sell-off in tech," Munster said. Munster said Powell is poised to "retreat to his fallback position" of a more hawkish tone on monetary policy. For tech stocks, the first half of the year is going to be a difficult, said Munster.
This week, fans hope, he will explain what he has in mind - and perhaps how he can afford to build it. A recent Tesla engineering video showed a small car with typical Tesla curves that was assumed by company watchers to be a Model 2 sketch. Battery production also is an issue. Batteries are also likely to figure in Musk's plans for a "fully sustainable energy future" outside the car. He may also discuss solar power generation and battery energy storage - which he has said are two other pillars to a sustainable energy future.
But not every company with AI in its title, or a stake in the race, may be worth investors' hard earned cash. Given these recent developments, many investors recommend staying long Microsoft, including Sid Choraria, a portfolio manager at SC Asia. Microsoft's AI developments and the reported blunder of Google's chatbot during a promotional video have fueled concerns in recent weeks that Alphabet may be losing the AI war . "Stay focused on Alphabet," he said, adding that more AI developments should create additional revenue opportunities. Integrating an AI tool into Alibaba's business and more AI content generation should improve efficiency and boost advertising effectiveness, he added.

Meta's ads unit will only recover if it continues to innovate so it doesn't need to track user data to sell ads. In 2021, Apple changed its iOS operating system to limit the abilities of apps to track user behavior. Apple CEO Tim Cook, for his part, has criticized Facebook's business model several times over the years, with Apple going so far as to declare privacy a "human right." It's clear from Meta's most recent earnings report, and its drive for efficiency and cost-cutting, that this cold war with Apple is taking its toll on the bottom line. "It's forced Meta to move so quickly to building the workarounds, not just to accommodate Apple's changes, but really where it sees the state of digital advertising data use going," Shmulik said.
In case you missed it, last week Microsoft held an event that had the buzz of a Steve Jobs iPhone launch. Google Bard VS OpenAI ChatGPT displayed on Mobile with Openai and Google logo on screen seen in this photo illustration. In this two-horse race, Google certainly didn't do itself any favors in bumbling its own AI demo last week. But the battle will ultimately come down to Microsoft and Google, according to venture capitalist Vinod Khosla. Record highs for the stock market are within reach this year, according to Fundstrat.
"AI technology is probably the most critical technology for the planet in the next 20 years," VC investor Vinod Khosla said. "AI technology is probably the most critical technology for the planet in the next 20 years," Khosla told CNBC on Wednesday. He also noted that the generative AI technology behind so-called chatbots like ChatGPT and Google's Bard will recast search engines into "answer engines." Similarly, Bank of America said that while Microsoft emerged as the winner this week in AI, Google has several key long-term advantages. "One will have nimble OpenAI.
Google needs to focus on building up its AI business while also keeping costs under control. Building up its AI business needs to be a top priorityThe events of the last few days show Microsoft and Google are clearly in an AI arms race — one that Google needs to win for its own sake. Google needs to double down on its own AI prowess right now, given the threat, Wall Street analysts said. However, they emphasize that Google needs to be thoughtful and show why its technology is better than OpenAI rather than being reactive. Maintaining efficiency while retaining an innovative cultureTo win in AI, however, Google needs to maintain its culture of innovation.

The event may have created a compelling entry point for investors who have been on the sidelines of the long-term shift to electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are becoming much more popular in the U.S. but still make up a small portion of automobiles on the roads. Cutting prices certainly caught the eye of consumers and boosted interest in Tesla vehicles, according to data from Edmunds. And, there are still issues with electric vehicles that make them impractical for large groups of consumers, said Mike Ward, an analyst at The Benchmark Company. There’s also a huge potential in firms that make batteries, key parts of electric vehicles that are also seeing surging share prices.
Big Tech stocks Amazon , Apple and Alphabet reported earnings Thursday night. "Ultimately, I think that this was a dodged bullet," Munster said on CNBC's " Fast Money ." "Apple is probably best positioned of the three to exceed the March quarter," Munster said. The company beat revenue expectations for the quarter , according to Refinitiv, but reported its slowest year of growth in its time as a public company. "When we look at the three tonight, Google was the one that had the highest growth rate relative to expectations," Munster said.
Meta stock could see a 30% upside as Mark Zuckerberg shows he's listening to investors, Gene Munster says. Despite the Meta CEO's ambitions in the metaverse, Zuckerberg promised investors a "year of efficiency." But Zuckerberg shifted his tone in Meta's latest earnings call, Munster noted. "It's as if Zuckerberg is just saying what investors want to hear," Munster said in an interview with CNBC on Thursday. Munster estimated that the firm's earnings would rise 17%, adding Meta and other FAANG stocks could see upside of around 30% in 2023.
