☆ Why we're unloading our Pioneer stake before the deal with Exxon Mobil closes
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-11 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Today's question: Why would we not stay in Pioneer [until a deal with Exxon closes] to receive $253 per share? First, the official announcement on Wednesday from Exxon Mobil (XOM) that it is acquiring Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD) specifies this will be an all-stock deal. In this case, the deal is that Pioneer shareholders will receive 2.3234 shares of ExxonMobil for each Pioneer share at closing. Rather, it's 2.3234 times the current price of Exxon shares. Pioneer shares are now subject to the trading action in ExxonMobil.

☆ How to use technical analysis on a stock to help inform buy and sell decisions
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-01 | by ( Jim Cramer | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +10 min

I was wondering if you could help us average investors interpret technical analysis versus fundamentals when they do not align. Technical analysts focus on stock charts — looking at momentum, relative strength indicators, volatility, and other indicators that are often referred to as the "technical setup." All this leads us to the question of what to do when the technical setup and fundamental setup don't align. As noted, we will buy a stock when our positive fundamental view is in contrast with a negative technical setup, but we would never buy a stock on which we have a negative fundamental view regardless of the technical setup. I was wondering if you could help us average investors interpret technical analysis versus fundamentals when they do not align.

Hang tight: You will receive BLCO shares — eventually. A carve-out occurs when a company sells shares in the separated unit into the open market via an initial public offering (IPO). A spin-off is when management distributes shares of the new company to exiting shareholders via a special dividend. A split-off gives existing shareholders the option to receive shares in the new entity in exchange for shares in the parent company.

☆ Eli Lilly gets a new price target after a big rally. Should I buy more shares?
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-16 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

One piece of the puzzle that still confuses me is the price target. Using Eli Lilly as an example: Jim posted a new 12-month price target of $600 and the stock is around $528. The first thing to address: What exactly is a price target anyway? Eli Lilly (LLY) jumped over 18% over the past two weeks but is still far from its price target. Using Eli Lilly as an example: Jim posted a new 12-month price target of $600 and the stock is around $528.

Are you referring to the S & P index itself, or one of the variations, and which symbol(s)? Thanks, Doug W. There are many exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the S & P 500 . The top three by assets under management, in order from largest to smallest, would be the State Street Global Advisors' SPDR S & P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) , BlackRock's iShares Core S & P 500 ETF (IVV) , and the Vanguard S & P 500 ETF (VOO) . As mentioned in the question, there are lots of ETFs that track the S & P 500, so by no means are these three the only games in town. Volume usually does pick up outside of normal trading hours when an event takes place, such as an earnings release.

☆ Ford's dividend quality, J&J's split-off, cost basis discipline — what we think about all these
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-21 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +10 min

Thank you, Denise The quickest way to determine the sustainability of a company's dividend is to consider it in relation to earnings and/or cash flow. The dividend payout divided by the earnings number is referred to as the "payout ratio" — below 100% is generally considered sustainable (so long as it's positive). First, earnings fluctuate and therefore so does the payout ratio (assuming a non-variable dividend payment). That's because all the numbers are positive in the "adjusted EPS payout ratio" line (2021 and 2022 actual results and 2023 and 2024 estimated results) and each of them is below 100%. As you stated, our discipline is to not violate our cost basis and we stick to that as much as possible.

We will only consider more general questions about the investment process or stocks in the portfolio or related industries. However, it's important to also consider a company's underlying fundamentals and not just the stock price. After all, price is what you pay and value is what you get, so it's important to consider whether the stock price reflects the business fundamentals. For us, that might be Apple (AAPL) and Nvidia (NVDA) as we've designated these "own, don't trade" stocks.

☆ We hear about companies reporting adjusted earnings all the time. Why do they do that?

This week's question: When reporting non-GAAP earnings, how do companies determine the numbers that are not generally accepted and how reliable they are? It also increases free cash flow, which is operating cash flow less capital expenditures. But many companies add back what was expensed for non-GAAP earnings. Restructuring charges are another item often added back to determine adjusted non-GAAP earnings results.

☆ Market orders vs. stop-loss orders: What does the Club use for trades and why?
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-23 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

Here are just a few: What do you think about the use of stop-loss orders? The short answer is we don't use stop-loss orders at the Club. A stop-loss order includes a predetermined price that when (or if) hit converts to a market order. Whereas the stop-loss order will convert to a market order once the stop-loss price is hit, this order will convert to a limit order. But at the Club, we prefer to stick with market orders for all our trades to get the best possible prices.

Is this price target the price you are going to sell the stock at when it gets there or is this just the price target other have on the stock? — Steve S. A price target represents what we believe to be a fair value for the company in question. At the end of the day, a price target is simply the end result of many inputs. The product of these two items, the earnings projection and target multiple, will determine the price target. The fundamentals determine the price target, not the other way around.
