Though the S & P 500 is up more than 20% in 2024, Evercore ISI sees a patch of volatility ahead as the November presidential election approaches — and the firm has stocks to play either outcome. Evercore ISI thinks that automotive components manufacturer Aptiv could rise in the event of a Harris/Walz win. Evercore ISI called the bank "a flight to quality name," saying it was in a competitive position despite an uncertain backdrop. If Trump wins, Charter Communications is one stock that could benefit from a "potentially benign tax environment" and a pickup in M & A activity, Evercore ISI said. Supermarket operator Kroger could also outperform due to its ability to pass through higher prices to consumers, according to Evercore ISI.

Americans' love affair with cash may be costing them in the long run, according to Wells Fargo. A record $6.42 trillion is sitting in money market funds, as of Wednesday, according to the Investment Company Institute . The seven-day annualized yield on the Crane 100 list of the 100 largest taxable money funds is currently 4.75%. During Fed rate decreases, direct money market investments, like Treasury bills, will absorb the cuts quicker than money market funds. "A long-term risk of relying on money market funds as a sizable allocation is the cash drag over our strategic time horizon," she said.

☆ How Warren Buffett decides when to sell a stock, and why he might be dumping Bank of America
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-29 | by ( Yun Li | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

When Warren Buffett, the ultimate buy-and-hold investor, sells a stock, it often sends a negative signal about the underlying business and maybe even the entire industry. "We're more reluctant to sell them than most people," Buffett said of his large positions at Berkshire's annual meeting in 2009. Bank of America sales Many top holdings in Berkshire Hathaway's equity portfolio are decades old — Buffett has held Coca-Cola shares since 1988 and American Express since 1991. Buffett said bank failures in 2008 during the Global Financial Crisis , and again in 2023, lessened confidence in the system, made worse by poor messaging by regulators and politicians. At the time, Buffett foresaw more bank failures down the road , but stuck with his Bank of America investment, partly because he personally negotiated the original deal and admired CEO Brian Moynihan.

☆ Why JPMorgan Chase is prepared to sue the U.S. government over Zelle scams
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-27 | by ( Hugh Son | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +7 min

The lender disclosed that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau could punish JPMorgan for its role in Zelle, the giant peer-to-peer digital payments network. In response, JPMorgan issued a thinly veiled threat: "The firm is evaluating next steps, including litigation." Trade groups say that in the aftermath of the financial crisis, banks became easy targets for populist attacks from Democrat-led regulatory agencies. Amid the scrutiny, the bank began warning Zelle users on the Chase app to "Stay safe from scams" and added disclosures that customers won't likely be refunded for bogus transactions. While all of these battles are ongoing, the financial industry has racked up several victories so far.
