Stargate Memory Deal

Please click here for a chart of Micron stock (MU).

Note the following:

  • The Morning Capsule is about the big picture, not an individual stock.  The chart of MU stock is being used to illustrate the point.
  • The chart shows that MU stock initially fell in the premarket because its South Korean competitors announced a big deal with OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT.  Micron was not included.
  • The chart shows a huge up move in MU stock when investors realized that even though Micron was not included in the deal, memory is a commodity, and as such, Micron will benefit due to supply constraints.  When supply is constrained in a commodity, prices rise and so do the profits of a company like Micron that produces the commodity.
  • Long time members of The Arora Report are long MU stock from $21.77.  With MU stock trading at $184.26 as of this writing in the premarket, this represents a 746% gain.
  • For the Stargate data centers, OpenAI has signed a massive preliminary deal with two South Korean companies Samsung (SSNLF) and SK Hynix (HXSCL).
  • In The Arora Report analysis, the deal is so massive that at its peak it will consume 40% of global DRAM production.  There are three main producers of high band width DRAM memory.  SK Hynix is the leader with about 60% market share.  Samsung and Micron (MU) have about 20% market share each.
  • The memory deal is so massive that it triggered frenzied buying in the entire AI trade, including stocks such as Nvidia (NVDA), Vertiv (VRT), Dell Technologies (DELL), Super Micro Computer (SMCI), Sandisk (SNDK), Western Digital (WDC), and Seagate Technology (STX).
  • The scale of the memory deal is overshadowing the negative implications of the government shutdown.
  • The positive sentiment from the AI trade and blind money lifted the entire stock market after a lower open yesterday on the government shutdown.
  • South Korean stocks hit a record high.  ZYX Emerging by The Arora Report has covered South Korea continuously for 18 years.  The position in South Korea ETF (EWY) is very profitable.  The Arora Report recently gave a signal to take partial profits in EWY, taking advantage of the strength.
  • The initial jobless claims data is not available due to the government shutdown.
  • As an actionable item, the sum total of the foregoing is in the Arora Protection Band, which strikes the optimum balance between various crosscurrents.   Please scroll down to see the Arora Protection Band. The Arora Protection Band is one of the large number of unique edges that are available to members of The Arora Report.

Magnificent Seven Money Flows

Most portfolios are now heavily concentrated in the Mag 7 stocks.  For this reason, to get ahead and get an edge, investors need to dig below the surface of the Mag 7 stocks.  It is equally important to rise above the noise of daily news on the Mag 7 stocks.  The best way to get an edge, dig below the surface, and rise above the noise of the daily news is to pay attention to early money flows in the Mag 7 stocks on a daily basis.  When there is significant news in the Mag 7 stocks that rises above the threshold of noise and impacts your entire portfolio, it is covered in the main section above.

In the early trade, money flows are positive in Amazon (AMZN), Nvidia (NVDA), Alphabet (GOOG), Meta (META), Tesla (TSLA), and Apple (AAPL).

In the early trade, money flows are negative in Microsoft (MSFT).

Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks

The momo crowd is *** (To see the locked content, please take a 30 day free trial) stocks in the early trade.  Smart money is *** in the early trade.

Note for new members: Smart money often sells into the strength generated by momo crowd buying and buys into the weakness generated by momo crowd selling.  Over a long period of time, investors come out ahead by adopting smart money’s ways.  The exception is in a raging bull market – for very short term trades, consider following the momo crowd and not smart money. Smart money is an important indicator but is only one of hundreds of indicators that go into determining the Arora Protection Band and signals.  Please click here and here to understand how signals are generated.

Arora Protection Band And What To Do Now

It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.  The proprietary Arora Protection Band from The Arora Report is very popular.  The Arora Protection Band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.

Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider holding *** in cash, Treasury bills, short term fixed income, or allocated to short-term tactical trades; and short to medium-term hedges of ***, and short term hedges of ***. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.

You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.  The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.  If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.

A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.  A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.

It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.  When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.  High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.

Traditional 60/40 Portfolio

Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.

Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.  Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
