The market fell during a heavy earnings week, and there is still more to come. There is less than two weeks to the U.S. election, and earnings reports from the largest companies in the world next week. It was the end of a six-week bull run for the S&P 500.

For the week, indexes were very mixed based on which sector leading companies reported. The $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ fell 0.96% for the week, the $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ fell a dramatic 2.68%, and the $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ climbed 0.16%

Monday, Federal Reserve President of San Francisco Mary Daly said economic growth and the labor market have remained steadier than many analysts expected this fall. But that resilience doesn't imply the Fed should hold rates steady again, she said. Fed's Kaskari said that the Fed can't bring down prices altogether and that the labor market did not cause inflation.

The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee's Beige Book economic report Wednesday said there was very little change in economic activity in September. Two districts reported growth, and most districts reported a decline in manufacturing.

The report said that banks were worried about the future because of a decline in interest rates. Some districts said consumer spending moved to cheaper choices. The housing market stayed healthy, commercial real estate was flat, and infrastructure projects helped a few districts. According to the report, the dock worker's strike caused a short disruption, while hurricanes brought crop damage and tourism pauses in the Southeast.

Employment rose overall, the report said, with half the districts showing growth. Many reported lower turnover, and low layoffs, though demand for workers eased. Wages rose. Price inflation continued in most districts. Some prices, like eggs and dairy, grew faster. Home prices climbed, and insurance and healthcare costs rose. Multiple Districts reported that input prices generally rose faster than selling prices, compressing firms’ profit margins.

In macro Friday, Michigan's Consumer Sentiment of inflation came in lower than last time- 2.7%. Durable goods orders fell just 0.8%, lower than expected, and core goods orders climbed. Atlanta Fed's flash GDP came in a 3.3% for the third quarter, a little lower than the last estimates.

3. $Trump Media & Technology (DJT.US)$ - Buzzing Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

According to George Glover at Barrons, Trump Media & Technology Group shares have been on a wild ride over the past month -- and they are likely to swing even more dramatically once the presidential election is called, judging by stock options.

4. $Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$ - Buzzing Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bitcoin fell Friday after a Wall Street Journal report. The federal government is investigating cryptocurrency company Tether for possible violations of sanctions and anti-money-laundering rules, according to WSJ. Tether is the world's most traded crypto, a stablecoin that has served as a major "on-ramp" into Bitcoin for years or a way to spend USD on an amount of cryptocurrency.

The criminal investigation, run out of the Manhattan U.S. attorney's office, is looking at whether the cryptocurrency has been used by third parties to launder money and fund drug trade, terrorism, and hacking, according to the report. The Treasury Department, meanwhile, has been considering sanctioning Tether because of its cryptocurrency's widespread use by individuals and groups sanctioned by the U.S.

ZnWC : Thank you for the weekly summary and happy birthday to Moomoo. I didn't know Moomoo is 12 years old - so young. Here's my analysis:

1) Yes Tesla crazy +22% soar share price after Q3 earnings is a sign that the bull market is here. Some commented that it was a pump because Tesla's earnings missed consensus and the decline EV delivery QoQ. I disagree because there is clear evidence that the fundamentals are still strong. For example,
>Tesla's Cybertruck achieved a positive gross margin for the first time.
>Cost of Goods Sold Per Vehicle (COGS) had come down to its lowest in company history.
>Delivery is expected to grow 20% to 30% in 2025

2) Investors are looking at the company earnings beyond P/E ratio. A better representation will be PEG ratio which includes growth potentials.

3) I predict that the next week's earnings will be as spooky as Halloween - highly unpredictable. The stock performance after earnings will be based on fundamentals and not about meeting estimate and consensus.

4) The magnificent seven stocks (e.g Meta platform, Amazon and Nvidia) may see a big rally after earnings because investors are looking at how these mega-cap companies are planning ahead to increase revenue amid an interest rate cut environment.

5) Having said that the rally may be dampened by the US presidential election result (5/11) which may bring uncertainty to the stock market. Another uncertainty will be when the House of Representatives start to debate the budget and the new policy.

6) I may adjust my portfolio to buy in more Tech stocks while they are still cheap and diversify the volatility risk by investing in S&P500 ETF. My most significant move will be to increase trading options to take advantage of the bullish trend momentum.

HuatLady : Happy Birthday to Moomoo

As a long-term investor, I'm excited to see $Apple (AAPL.US)$ response to next week's earnings line-up, with other big players like $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$, $Meta Platforms (META.US)$, $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ and $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ are also reporting.
I am tracking market trends and forecasts closely. $Apple (AAPL.US)$ profits are projected to rise, hinting at positive momentum. Short-term price swings don't really affect me. I'm ready for any volatility and may even accumulate if there's a dip.

102362254 : Next week’s earnings, especially $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$’s, could really shake things up. Microsoft’s results could set the tone for tech stocks overall, particularly with all the focus on cloud and AI. If their numbers are strong, it might be a good sign for tech. I’m planning to review my portfolio and might tweak things based on how these reports play out. If Microsoft shows strength in cloud and AI, I might hold steady or even add a bit more positions

HuatEver : Happy Birthday

When earnings reports come around next week, I will be closely watching AMD, Meta and Amazon. For AMD, the focus is on their competition with Nvidia and Intel, especially in AI and data centres. For Meta, I’ll keep an eye on Ad revenue, users numbers
and Metaverse updates. For Amazon, I’m looking at e-commerce growth, AWS and any cost-cutting news. To be prepared, I’ll stay updated with analysts’ insights, keep my portfolio diversified and maintain a long~term perspective on my investments.
