The major indexes all posted gains this week despite a Big Tech beatdown, proving the market can rally without its most valuable stocks. Indeed strength in other sectors — only communication services finished down — helped the overall market to shrug off disappointing earnings results from Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN) and Meta Platforms (META). Alphabet's results fell short of the Street's expectations, but still managed to grow revenue 6% annually off a $65 billion base. (Canada's central bank hiked rates less than expected this week, opting for a 50 basis point hike instead of the expected 75.)

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday said that some of the biggest tech companies in the world need to adjust to the changing market. The host of "Mad Money" previously said that financial stocks could overtake tech stocks as the new market leaders in the current high interest rate environment. Cramer's comment comes on the heels of several disappointing earnings results from Big Tech firms. Meta Platforms reported a wide miss on third-quarter earnings after the close on Wednesday, sending its stock tumbling over 18% in after-hours trading. Cramer said that the streaming giant's plans for the latter initiative exemplify the type of innovation FAANG companies need to stop their downward trajectory.

Corporate earnings have actually been, to quote "Curb Your Enthusiasm's" Larry David, pretty, pretty good. The Dow was up more than 300 points, or 1%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.6%. what used to be dubbed FAANG stocks before name and ticker changes) make up a big chunk of the weighting of the S&P 500. Nearly three-quarters of the S&P 500 companies that have reported earnings so far have topped forecasts. So the weaker earnings are more a function of higher costs as opposed to a significant slowdown in sales.

Investors may be fleeing the sector in droves, but Barton Crockett, senior research analyst at Rosenblatt Securities, said the sell-off is an opportunity for long-term investors to buy the dip. One such "winner" that Crockett likes is Alphabet , which he described as a "good story" that will be "here today and tomorrow." But the stock has outperformed all its peers in the FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google) grouping except Apple . 'Be choosy' Despite the challenges of the current investing climate, Crockett said investors should remain exposed to tech. "You have to have the fortitude to ideally absorb some of the near-term gyrations for a long-term return," he said.

☆ As the pound tanks, Goldman and others reveal the UK stock market's likely winners and losers

The British pound continued its slide against the U.S. dollar this week, hitting a new record low against the greenback Monday. Goldman Sachs European strategist Sharon Bell said the bank expects the pound to trade at around $1.05 over the next three months. Winners Secker is overweight the blue-chip FTSE 100 , which he believes is "arguably the ultimate 'weak FX' play." "The losers in the U.K. are the small-and-mid cap companies that are importing raw materials, which has now become more expensive. The FTSE 250 , which is more domestic than the FTSE 100, will also tend to suffer, all else equal, as sterling falls," Bell said.

☆ Asset manager says one FAANG stock looks 'very attractive' in the medium term

One Big Tech stock looks "very attractive" in the medium term, according to Neil Veitch, investment director at SVM Asset Management. That's Alphabet , a firm he says is his favorite of the FAANG stocks — a grouping which includes Facebook-parent Meta , Amazon , Apple , Netflix and Google-parent Alphabet . That goes against the market trend: tech has tumbled this year, as the U.S. Federal Reserve hiked rates and investors shied away from growth stocks. Revenue growth slowed to 13% from 62% a year earlier, when the company was benefiting from the post-pandemic reopening and consumer spending was on the rise. He gave Tesla as an example of a stock that looks expensive right now, arguing that the risk-reward is unattractive.

Investment director Neil Veitch of SVM Asset Management revealed on Pro Talks how he's trading as central banks around the world aggressively hike interest rates. Speaking to CNBC's Karen Tso Thursday, Veitch said he'd stay away from "expensive" stocks until inflation fell under 4%. That's when he thinks the U.S. Federal Reserve might pivot and loosen financial conditions in the market. "But I do have a strong preference for U.S. tech versus European technology," he admitted, and revealed his favorite among the FAANG stocks. Elsewhere in tech, Veitch was bearish on Tesla, saying the "risk-reward is unattractive" at current levels.

☆ A former top TD Ameritrade technical analyst says stocks have yet to bottom as shares of several major firms remain 'disconnected' from reality — and warns the market could fall another 22%

The S&P 500 is down 19% in 2022. Since January 3, the S&P 500 is down more than 19%. All except for Apple have underperformed the S&P 500, though they are more on par with the performance of the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100, which is down 28.1% this year. It currently sits at 27.54, and tends to rise when the S&P 500 falls. Markets InsiderWhen all is said and done, Bierman said he thinks the S&P 500 will bottom out somewhere between 3,000-3,300.

Tech stocks generally carry more risk than other stocks, but they also promise significantly more growth. Throughout much of the 21st century's historic bull market, tech stocks have been at the forefront of the rise, with the biggest tech stocks all outperforming the S&P 500 over the past five and 10 years. There's a fundamental reason why tech stocks tend to attract more investor demand than other kinds of equities. This has added to optimism that tech stocks, in particular stocks which have already seen big gains, will still be a safer longer-term bet," Streeter says. If an investor wants the highest possible appreciation, they would do well to devote a segment of their holdings to tech stocks.

Silicon Valley, perhaps even more than the rest of corporate America, has long been engaged in a two-sided battle over the pursuit of happiness. In the Silicon Valley that emerges on Blind, the engineers who strive for work-life balance are just as burned out as the late-night grinders. But Silicon Valley has always overindexed for Optimizers. If this is Silicon Valley today, nobody's happy, and everybody's burnt. Stereotypically, Silicon Valley engineers are grinders.

Большая пятерка IT-гигантов, которую называют FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix и Google) все больше влияет на жизнь каждого человека в отдельности и всего человечества. Это наконец осознали власти США, обнаружив что IT-гиганты — Facebook, Amazon, Google и Apple — злоупотребляют своим монопольным положением, и собрались лишить власти эти корпорации. Его коллега и однопартиец Мэтт Гетц прямо обвинил Google во вмешательстве в избирательные процессы в США в интересах демократов. Что является фейковой информацией, а что – нет, определяют исключительно работники компании Facebook, кругозор, уровень культурного и политического развития которых вряд ли находится на более высоком уровне, чем у среднестатистического американца.

The " Mad Money " host said on Monday that several major tech stocks were buys at their current price levels. FAANG, which refers to major tech stocks Facebook , Apple , Amazon , Netflix and Google-parent Alphabet , has been a major weak spot in the market for the past three weeks.
