US TECH STOCKS such as Facebook, Tesla, Peloton, Robinhood and Zoom are in meltdown as the stock market "superbubble" bursts, but there''s a surprise beneficiary. "Boring" FTSE 100 stocks are suddenly all the rage as investors seek safety.
Benzinga has examined the prospects for many investor favorite stocks over the past week. Last week''s bullish calls included a popular online broker and a top Chinese e-commerce company. A leading fintech company along with a Canada-based cannabis producer were among the bearish calls seen. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both finished their best week of the year, driven by the strength of earnings reports, which extended the tech-led rebound following January''s steep pullback. The S&P 500 closed the week 1.5% higher, and the Nasdaq was up 2.4%. The Dow, meanwhile, ended the week up 1.1%. These are the second weekly gains of 2022 for the major averages, after concerns over higher interest rates dragged stocks down across the board last month. Benzinga continues to examine the prospects for many of the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week''s most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Return Of Capital Takes Center Stage From Return On Capital

07:45pm, Wednesday, 02'nd Feb 2022 Zero Hedge
Return Of Capital Takes Center Stage From Return On Capital By Ven Ram, Bloomberg markets live commentator and analyst If the recent market jitters are anything to go by, gone may be the years when investors threw down money with such ease into investment fads and seemingly earned mind-boggling returns with even greater ease. Recall the heady days of 2020 and 2021 for speculators: Blank-check investments? Check . Pay astronomical P/Es for a whole band of innovators? Check . No intrinsic value but theres only a bunch in supply, and everyone and their granny has made money hand over fist because its the future? Check . What seemed like gas balloons headed straight to the stratosphere suddenly seem not-so-invulnerable. The return of inflation -- a prodigal entity long forgotten in several economies -- together with a seemingly aggressive Fed mean, however, that investors should perhaps care about the return of their capital that they had been taking for granted all this while rather than the return on their capital.

COVID Is In The "Rearview" Because Politicians "Can''t Win Votes Locking You In A Cage": George Gammon Submitted by QTR''s Fringe Finance A couple days ago, my kind friend George Gammon from Rebel Capitalist took the time to answer a couple of exclusive Fringe Finance questions for me. George is one of my favorite economic commentators and has been a friend of mine, and my podcast, for years. I often describe his podcast as similar to mine, just more well thought out, more educational and more useful with less childish humor. I thought this week would be a good time to tap into George’s head, given that the last time I spoke to George was well before the current market volatility. George prepared two, twenty minute-long exclusive videos for Fringe Finance to try and tackle a list of questions I had for him. I reviewed George''s first video in this writeup for Zero Hedge , where he talked about everything from volatility in markets, to gold, to the Fed. On Being Censored By YouTube In his second video George talks about one of his channel''s bans from YouTube: "Rebel Capitalist did get taken down by YouTube about two months ago.

Millionaire Book-Writer And Professional Board-Sitter Chelsea Clinton Attacks Substack Authors As "Grifters" Submitted by QTR''s Fringe Finance Chelsea Clinton wants to talk about grifting. Thats just great. The fruit, apparently, doesnt fall that far from the global elitist narrative tree. Perhaps looking to ride the coattails of those ganging up on controversial anti-vaxx misinformation (read: any uttered thought not handed down by Dr. Anthony Fauci from the heavens above) or perhaps looking to drum up support by her Twitter sycophants, Chelsea Clinton took to her Twitter account last week to lash out at Substack for providing a platform for free speech and for people to voluntarily subscribe to newsletters theyre interested in and willing to pay for. Wow, sounds nefarious , Chelsea! Glad you stepped in. The first daughter took exception with the anti-vaxx grift that is supposedly taking place on here on Substack, citing a Guardian article written last week as her source. A group of vaccine-sceptic writers are generating revenues of at least $2.5m (£1.85m) a year from publishing newsletters for tens of thousands of followers on the online publishing platform Substack , according to new research, the Guardian wrote last week. Why is Substack facilitating science denialists ability to profit from destructive lies (and comfortable profiting themselves)? Clinton asked.

Spotify Adds Billions In Market Since Neil Young ''Nothingburger'' Mainstream media unleased an avalanche of notes over the weekend claiming that Spotify has had $2 billion wiped off its market value because of the actions of Neil Young and others in opposing Joe Rogans content on the platform have now been exposed as embarrassing fake news. Variety and others ran headlines such as: Spotify Lost More Than $2 Billion in Market Value After Neil Young Pulled His Music Over Joe Rogans Podcast https://t.co/CSpsEA1qfo Variety (@Variety) January 29, 2022 However, as Summit News'' Steve Watson noted , and as pointed out by many on social media, the drop in value of Spotify stock is part of a longer downward trend that started before Neil Young uttered a word about Rogan. This is cherry-picked bullshit. The market in general was way down this week, but in the last two days of trading, since they announced Young was gone and Rogan is staying, their stock is actually up slightly. You moronic hacks have no shame! pic.twitter.com/duTagP9uRe John Ziegler (@Zigmanfreud) January 29, 2022 You mean Spotify stock is down, kinda like the entire NASDAQ is down 20% in the same time frame?

How to Cut Your 2021 Tax Bill

11:15am, Saturday, 29'th Jan 2022 Kiplinger
When the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law in 2017, proponents said it would make filing taxes easier for millions of Americans. It hasnt worked out that way. SEE MORE 2021 Tax Returns: What''s New on the 1040 Form This Year While the tax overhaul nearly doubled the standard deduction , sharply reducing the number of taxpayers who need to itemize deductions, taxes have become even more fraught for millions of taxpayers. In part, thats because lawmakers have tweaked the tax code to provide credits and deductions for non-itemizers . Those tax breaks could lower your tax bill but also require more work when it comes time to file. In addition, as Congress scrambled to prevent the COVID-19 pandemic from torpedoing the economy, it funneled billions in economic stimulus payments through the IRS in the form of tax credits. When you file your 2021 tax return, you may need to reconcile those credits to claim funds you should have received or, in a few cases, pay some of that money back.
