JPMorgan''s Trading Desk Scrambles To Contain The Fallout From Today''s Crash
01:00am, Friday, 04'th Feb 2022 Zero Hedge
JPMorgan''s Trading Desk Scrambles To Contain The Fallout From Today''s Crash After a catastrophic day for markets, which saw the S&P suffer its worst one-day loss since 2021 and the Nasdaq tumble the most since 2020, Amazon arrived with what was a Hail Mary earnings report which sent its stock soaring, and helping cut the Nasdaq''s nearly 4% loss in half, but as we noted earlier - aside for the Prime membership hike and the solid AWS results - the earnings report was actually not all that good, and the once legendary growth is now gone. Indeed, as Bloomberg echoes our skepticism, Nasdaq futures have bounced hard in early trading, but some of the details coming through on Amazon’s business outlook seem a bit less exuberant than seen at first blush: while investors "may have been bracing for the worst, following Meta’s disappointing revenue forecast and surprising business pivot towards short form video. But Amazon’s e-commerce sales numbers are still mixed. Its online stores revenue growth rate is slowing and for the third quarter in a row the company gave a sales forecast markedly below Street expectations.

Retail Investors Are Flooding In To Buy Meta''s Face-plant Dip
06:00pm, Thursday, 03'rd Feb 2022 Zero Hedge
Retail Investors Are Flooding In To Buy Meta''s Face-plant Dip Years of BTFD instinct don''t go away just like that, and with Facebook plunging the 26%, its biggest drop ever, and also the biggest loss of market cap by any company in US history - putting it in context FB has lost more value today than the market cap of 455 S&P500 members - and after its opening collapse, the retail crew has arrived and according to Fidelity, thousands of retail investors are buying the dip this morning. According to Fidelity , FB was by far the most traded among individual investors using Fidelitys platform, with volumes more than five times that of Tesla, the second-most traded stock according to Bloomberg. The imbalance was 80% in favor of dip buyers, with more than 49k buy orders placed on the platform as of 11:52am, compared to 12k sell orders as of 11:52 a.m. in New York. In context, the staggering amount of buy orders was roughly seven times the demand for Amazon, the second-most bought stock. The flood of retail buying is hardly as surprise, and it represents a continuation of the relentless, if somewhat more subdued, purchases by ordinary investors.

Facebook Plummets 16% After Missing Across The Board, Guiding Below Expectations
09:15pm, Wednesday, 02'nd Feb 2022 Zero Hedge
Facebook Plummets 16% After Missing Across The Board, Guiding Below Expectations Heading into today''s earnings from social media giant Facebook Meta (technically, the first quarter since the company changed its name), JPM previews expectations as follows: buyside is at the top end of Q4 guide (21%reported growth), with expectation that management steer to a Q1 deceleration q/q (consensus +16%) and reiterate $91-97b FY expense guide. With the new reporting structure, the bank expects RL to represent a LSD% of total revenue and would like to see additional disclosure around VR unit shipments, engagement, developers, etc. The bank also expects FB to have passed 10m active VR units. If that sounds a bit too arcane, Loup Funds'' Gene Munster simplifies it, tweeting that "the most important metric is MAU/DAU growth. Street is looking for up 5%. If the base is growing, the company can power through IDFA and macro headwinds. If engagement declines, FB will need the metaverse to bail them out." For $FB tonight, the most important metric is MAU/DAU growth.

The business of finding a better job, with Career Karma CEO Ruben Harris
03:25pm, Tuesday, 01'st Feb 2022 The Verge
Photo Illustration by Grayson Blackmon / The Verge Turning the ‘Great Resignation’ into good business It’s an interesting time to talk to someone in the business of helping people get new jobs — we’re still fully in the middle of the pandemic-driven Great Resignation, and a record 4.5 million people quit their jobs in November 2021 , and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down. But that’s exactly what Career Karma and CEO Ruben Harris are doing. Career Karma helps job-seekers identify potential new career paths, then matches them with coding boot camps and other training programs to help them on their way. Ruben and his team just raised $40 million in Series B funding for a total of $52 million, and it’s launching a live audio feature for job seekers to connect and talk about their career paths. So, of course, I wanted to talk to Ruben about what they plan to do with that infusion of cash and how exactly they plan to grow — and to talk about how Career Karma makes money, what he’s learned from his community about the future of the job market, and if he thinks the traditional 9 to 5 might be on the way out.

Three JP Morgan Formers Fired For Communicating On Personal Devices Have All Found New Jobs On Wall Street
10:45am, Monday, 31'st Jan 2022 Zero Hedge
Three JP Morgan Formers Fired For Communicating On Personal Devices Have All Found New Jobs On Wall Street Three executives that were ousted from J.P. Morgan for using their personal phones to communicate work information have landed new jobs in the industry. The news serves as a positive beacon for the rest of Wall Street, who were collectively nervous about an ongoing U.S. regulator probe into the practice. Bloomberg called the phone rule "a rule that just about everyone seemed to be breaking". Despite J.P. Morgan paying $200 million in fines for the practice, Ben Sykes, an executive director who left last year wound up finding a new job at Jefferies. Earl Dowling, a former managing director landed at PJT Partners and Ed Koo, another JP Morgan executive that was ousted, is now a portfolio manager at Brean Asset Management, according to Bloomberg. Sykes FINRA BrokerCheck record reads that he was terminated for violating the firms communication policy by moving several internal business communications from a surveilled approved electronic communication channel to an unapproved electronic communication channel, and for the inappropriate content of certain communications. Koo''s says he used a third-party social media application for internal business communications. Meanwhile, the Federal probe into the rule breaking has expanded "to examine whether more firms broke recordkeeping requirements designed to protect investors", the report says.
Atlanta Fed President Pours Gasoline On Fire With 50Bps Hike Comment, But There Are Reasons To Ignore It
11:00pm, Sunday, 30'th Jan 2022 Zero Hedge
Atlanta Fed President Pours Gasoline On Fire With 50Bps Hike Comment, But There Are Reasons To Ignore It Here we go again. After we saw a veritable rollercoaster in market last week, after Powell''s shockingly hawkish FOMC presser which spooked Wall Street into predicting that 5 (as JPM and Goldman now expect), six or even seven rate hikes (as per the latest Bank of America forecast) are on deck in 2022 alone, tensions have also remained elevated after Powell refused to refute speculation of a 50bps rate hike this year. Of course, tensions eased on Friday after the latest set of dismal economic data , which led the Atlanta Fed to come out with a 0.1% Q1 GDP estimate which will turn negative in the coming days after just a few more incrementally negative datapoints ... suggested that inflation will fade far sooner and the US economy will slide into contraction long before the Fed can hike even a handful of times, let along go the way to 2.50% or 3.00% or whatever strategists believe the neutral rate is these days.

Here Comes The Fund Rebalancing: $65 Billion In Month-End Buying
05:05pm, Friday, 28'th Jan 2022 Zero Hedge
Here Comes The Fund Rebalancing: $65 Billion In Month-End Buying It''s not just buybacks that emerge seemingly out of nowhere (technically, the tend to emerge out of select VWAP desks) to help lift stocks higher: month end is notorious for pension and mutual fund rebalancing flows, and in a month when stocks tumbled far more than bonds, funds are now catching up as they are mandated to buy a certain amount of stocks to balance their portfolios. So how much in buying is there? Well, according to JPMorgan''s Nick Panigirtzoglou, “In the very near term, one flow that could support the equity market is potential month-end rebalancing by balanced mutual funds for which we estimate $65bn of equity buying by the end of this month." Goldman''s own estimate is for a net $12 billion of US equities to buy from US pensions given the moves in equities and bonds over the month. While this ranks in the 31st percentile amongst all buy and sell estimates in absolute dollar value over the past three years, Goldman notes that it is the biggest month-end estimate since the March 2020 collapse.
