☆ Stocks could rally as much as 20% in 2023, predicts Wharton's Jeremy Siegel

Wharton finance professor Jeremy Siegel is bullish on next year's stock market, predicting equities could rise 15%, or possibly even 20%. "They haven't gotten it yet that inflation is basically over but they will, " Siegel said on " Squawk Box" Monday. His call stands in contrast to Goldman Sachs, which said in a note Monday that the S & P 500 will end 2023 essentially flat. They expect the S & P 500 to end 2023 only around 4,000 by December 2023, or about 1% higher than Friday's close. For instance, the growth in housing prices is slowing, and he expects to see more evidence of that when September's S & P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Home Price Index is released next Tuesday.

Wharton professor Jeremy Siegel said the stock market is poised to surge 20% in 2023. Siegel's outlook is driven by his expectation that the Fed will acknowledge that inflation is falling. "I think basically 90% of our inflation is gone," he told CNBC in an interview on Monday. He expects the stock market to surge at least 15% and as much as 20% next year, which would send the S&P 500 back to 4,740 based on current levels, near record highs not seen since the start of this year. In regards to a recent note from Goldman Sachs that said the stock market will likely end flat in 2023, Siegel said, "I think they're being way too pessimistic...

☆ Is the Fed 'going rogue'? Calls heat up to back off quest for 2% inflation
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-19 | by ( Jeff Cox | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

For at least a decade, the Federal Reserve's position that a 2% inflation rate is where the economy best functions has been taken as gospel. 'Going rogue' "As far as 2% is concerned, I think it's stupid," said Jim Paulsen, chief investment officer at Leuthold Group. Paulsen and Sternlicht aren't the only critics of Fed policy. Achieving a steady 2% inflation rate, however, has proven elusive for the Fed. 'The gold standard' for policy But Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and most of his colleagues have rebuffed calls to raise the goal.

Home prices could tumble 20% in some of the hottest US markets, top investor Peter Boockvar said. He cited the surge in prices during the pandemic, and soaring mortgage rates pricing out buyers. The Bleakley Advisory boss warned a housing slump could hit consumer spending and the wider economy. "It's an extraordinary rise, and now you have 7% mortgage rates, which are 15-year highs," he said. Paul Krugman, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, has also predicted a housing slump.

☆ A conversation with Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary on FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, and crypto regulation.

Top of mind, inevitably, was last week's implosion of FTX, as O'Leary was a spokesperson and investor with the exchange. It was our third conversation together, and O'Leary shared candid thoughts on his FTX investments going to zero, as well as details from a phone call he had with Sam Bankman-Fried just before FTX declared bankruptcy. O'Leary, a paid spokesperson for FTX, said he had initially gained trust in the company and its 30-year-old CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried, a little over two years ago. The Shark Tank star told me that he was on the phone with Sam Bankman-Fried the day before FTX declared bankruptcy to discuss a price for potential buyers to rescue FTX. "He confirmed that it was $8 billion, and that's the number I took forward," O'Leary explained.

☆ US home prices could crash 20% if the Fed fails to 'thread the needle' when tightening, central bank economist finds
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-16 | by ( George Glover | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

US home prices could fall another 20% as mortgage rates rise, a Dallas Fed study found. The central bank has raised interest rates by 75 basis points at four consecutive meetings as it works to curb soaring prices. Homebuyer demand is expected to fall as mortgage rates climb higher, with many analysts warning Americans to brace for a major housing market correction. The housing market would suffer such a significant correction partly because it was squeezed so high before and during the pandemic. But any housing market downturn would likely be far less severe than the crash that helped to trigger the 2008 financial crisis, according to the economist.

☆ Jeremy Siegel says the crypto meltdown sparked by FTX's implosion is not a Lehman Brothers moment and won't spread contagion to stocks

The FTX implosion is not a Lehman Brothers moment that will spread risk to stocks, according to Jeremy Siegel. "It's not a Lehman moment because the value has already gone down so much," Siegel said. One thing traditional assets like stocks and bonds have that crypto doesn't is the backing of the Federal Reserve. As some people say, 'Is this a Lehman moment if it [prices] really goes down?' "One thing that's really important: back when Lehman went under, I had money in money market mutual funds.

The stock market just had its best day of the year. We can chalk that up to the Thursday morning inflation data that showed prices cooled faster than expected in October.

☆ The stock market could soon reverse its 'borderline miraculous rally' and retest June lows, UBS's Art Cashin says

Stocks could whipsaw and retest June lows despite October's positive inflation report, Arthur Cashin said. Cashin noted that stock market rallies since June have been fleeting, and it's still a bear market. He warned a reversal could come when the VIX approaches 20, and the gauge currently clocks in at 22. Rallies since then have usually ended when the Cboe Volatility Index neared a critical level of 20, Cashin noted. The VIX—known as the stock market's fear gauge—is currently just above that threshold, clocking at 22.61 as of 1 p.m.

Accessible luxury brands such as Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren are likely to feel a bigger pinch than higher-priced brands, as their young core customer base looks for deals at the lower end of the fashion spectrum. Ralph Lauren said its holiday quarter revenue would be hit by slowing demand in North America and Europe, where soaring energy costs are also pinching consumer wallets. Tapestry and Ralph Lauren also warned a stronger dollar would hit their earnings. Ralph Lauren shares, which have lost almost a quarter of their value this year, rose about 5% in premarket trading after the company beat second-quarter sales and profit expectations.

The drop in inflation means a soft landing of the economy is "increasingly plausible," Paul Krugman said. The top economist pointed to slowing rent and wage growth, which could mean inflation is coming under control. "A good inflation report," Krugman wrote. "Between this report and the wage numbers, there is a good reason to believe underlying inflation is coming under control," Krugman added, referring to the recent drop in wage growth. "A soft landing is looking increasingly plausible."

☆ The stock market is poised for a significant year-end rally because 'inflation is basically over', Wharton professor Jeremy Siegel says
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-10 | by ( Matthew Fox | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Jeremy Siegel said "inflation is basically over" on Thursday after October's CPI report showed lower-than-expected inflation. Siegel said investors should expect a significant year-end rally in the stock market as investors recalibrate their Fed expectations. Siegel's confidence stems from the fact that when you exclude the Fed's use of lagging housing data, inflation would actually be negative. The CPI report showed prices rising 7.7% year-over-year, and up 0.4% on a monthly basis. 2023 won't be as bad as many think," Siegel said.

Here's the short of it: The once-top-dog crypto firm, FTX, helmed by 30-year-old billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried, is being bought by Binance amid significant liquidity issues and rumors of insolvency. But Binance CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao seemed to think saving a floundering FTX was worth the risk of any future downside. CoinDesk published a revealing report on November 2 about the crypto trading firm Alameda Research, another branch of Sam Bankman-Fried's empire. It turns out that the trading firm held billions of dollars' worth of FTX's native token, FTT. Anthony Georgiades, co-founder of blockchain company Pastel Network told me he doesn't think Binance is too concerned about making those investors whole again at this point.

They post and repost lots of partisan content, argue with people on social media and generally are edgy and defensive. Individually, when we are stressed out and anxious, we shift into the “downstairs brain,” a term introduced by neuropsychiatrist Dan Siegel and psychotherapist Tina Payne Bryson. On social media, such individual experiences can have significant collective consequences, too. Research suggests that the more anxious and overwhelmed we are, the more likely we are to share false information on social media. What these strategies can do, however, is help people regain the perspective they lose when they shift into downstairs brain mode.
