"Ditch The Misinformers" - Neil Young Attacks Spotify CEO, Big Banks In Latest Open Letter One day after Spotify CEO Daniel Ek penned a memo to Spotify employees explaining that "silencing Joe Rogan" isn''t the answer, musician Neil Young hit back with another open letter of his own, this one urging Spotify employees to quit over the platform''s spreading of "misinformation" - while also urging Americans to withdraw their money from the biggest US banks over their financing of fossil fuels. Furthermore in his statement, Young criticized Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, insisting that he was the problem. Speaking to Spotify employees, Young said: "I say Daniel Ek is your big problem - not Joe Rogan. Get out of that place before it eats up your soul. The only goals stated by Ek are numbers, not art, not creativity." He also encouraged musicians and other artists to take their content elsewhere, while asking consumers to find something better to support "with their monthly checks." "To the musicians and creators in this world, I say this: You must be able to find a better place than Spotify to be the home of your art."

Bank Of America Forecasts 7 Rate Hikes In 2022 And Then Pain Last week, gasps of shock were heard around Wall Street trading desks when Bank of America decided to outdo every other economist with its either idiotic or brilliant forecast for seven 25bp rate hikes this year. All else equal, we would say "idiotic" as 7 rates hikes would almost certainly send the market crashing as real yields explode, long before the 7th hike is implemented, and to our surprise, BofA does not completely disagree. Yet as the bank correctly notes, the Fed is caught in a trap, and while markets will certainly crack long before the tightening process is completed, the economy is in desperate need to cooling off after Biden''s ridiculous trillions in stimmies have unleashed a historic inflationary tsunami. Admitting the forecasts from her own bank''s economists "may sound extreme"... ... BofA chief equity strategist Savita Subramanian - who maintains her 4,600 year-end S&P price target for reasons she explains below - writes that "the pivot from super dovish to more hawkish policy underscores that we are at the point of peak liquidity" as the Fed is now more focused on containing the inflationary conflagration that has been sparked by Biden''s out of control spending.

This Is The Worst Earnings Season Since Covid Emerged And It''s About To Get Much Worse Amid seemingly pervasive gloom and doom that the market is this close from crashing, the reality is that with more than half of S&P 500 companies (accounting for 75% of earnings) having reported earnings, 78.8% of companies have beaten expectations (compared with an average of 84% over the past four quarters, according to Refinitiv). That''s the good news. The bad news is that, as Bank of America has calculated, 4Q consensus EPS is tracking just 2% above where it stood on Jan 1, led by tech (but this is about to get hit badly) and financials, while revenue beats are even more precarious, tracking at just +1% versus consensus ... which is far weaker than prior quarters since COVID when EPS was +11% on average vs. consensus by Week 3. The proportion of beats is also tracking at the weakest level since COVID: 72%/73%/58% beat on EPS/sales/both, better than the post-Week 3 historical average of 64%/58%/44%, but well below the post-COVID average of 80%/77%/67%. "It was huge beats last year and that''s shrunk," said Nick Raich, CEO of The Earnings Scout. "It''s partially reverting back to normal, but it''s also the supply-chain pressures and inflationary pressures taking a toll." Ominously, the growth stocks which have long served as the market''s "generals", have underperformed value stocks by 8ppt YTD, representing the biggest underperformance since Feb 2001.
