What I am looking at, December 21, 2021:

  • Beginning of the Santa Claus rally today?... has been like this almost every year since 2007... buying today and selling at New Year's has been incredibly reliable...
  • President will buy 500 million tests... where is he going to get them?
  • I still have Covid… more symptomatic today, day six... Omicron—73% of new infections last week, according to CDC... really big in Northeast... 70x more contagious than Delta, study says...
  • How long can NFL play?...Eagles tonight against the Washington Football Team... league, my sources say, quite confident no pause...
  • Micron (MU)... star of the show: high-performance computing, 5G, AI, Metaverse... supply chain ease in 2022... all bullish...
  • Nike (NKE) earnings... not as bad as we thought....China sales down 20%...US -China tensions...obligatory price target increase by Piper Sandler—victory lap?...
  • Revisit Oracle (ORCL)?... this move into Cerner is key for another leg, a higher multiple leg... KeyBanc doesn't like this accretive deal… I am not betting against CEO Safra Catz and Chair Larry Ellison... Deutsche Bank says shareholders of Oracle will come to like the deal...
  • Alibaba (BABA) downgraded by Atlantic... is the slowdown in China manufactured to keep the Olympic games on?... and how can you host the games without long quarantine???...
  • KLA Corp. (KLAC)...Wells Fargo goes hold to buy... makes sense off of MU?
  • United Rentals (URI)... Baird goes from buy to hold Baird... supply chains easing, so don't need rental??...says employee shortage will play havoc with use...
  • Lisa Gill from JPMorgan downgrades Cigna (CI)...very bad for Cigna as Gill has been a supporter and is a great analyst...
  • Gill then downgrades HCA Healthcare (HCA) buy to hold...
  • Cathie Wood keeps buying Blade Air Mobility (BLDE)... Why? Let's listen to Rob Wiesenthal, CEO, tonight on Mad Money...
  • Big rebound in Bitcoin… some calling for regulation...that would be so strong says FTX CEO Sam Bankman Fried...
  • General Mills (GIS) miss?...be careful selling…sees org sales 4%-5% for full year—had seen growth down as much as 3%... $0.99 v. $1.05 estimates BUT sales $5.02B; v. $4.84B in revs... 
  • JPMorgan health outlook... says Eli Lilly (LLY) best in class; Abbvie (ABBV) value; likes Zoetis (ZTS) in animal health... LLY and ABBV are very big club names...
  • UBS names three club names as winners for '22: favorite is Nvidia (NVDA), Marvell Technology (MRVL) as broadband play; Broadcom (AVGO) as income play... likes Micron as cycles have become more durable... We have MU CEO on Squawk on the Street this morning...Trust owns NVDA, MRVL and AVGO...
