Gold, FAANG, or Commodities: What Is The Best Hedge Against Inflation Today?
05:29pm, Thursday, 10'th Feb 2022 Benzinga
Following the widespread impact of Covid-19, global economies are gearing up for a short-term future set to the backdrop of accelerated inflation. The longer-term consequences of these record-breaking inflation increases are unknown, but what appears certain is that we’re set for a difficult start to 2022 as living costs continue to rise. As labor shortages and supply chain squeezes continue to disrupt the pricing of goods and services, we’re likely to see the prolonged elevation to inflation - ranging well into the mid-single digits. (Image: Bloomberg Quint ) As Bloomberg Quint data shows, inflation is currently rife across G20 economies. With no end in sight for the growing cost of living, a greater emphasis has been placed on hedges against inflation. Traditionally, gold, commodities, and growth stocks have been regarded as excellent hedges against inflation among financial experts, but with FAANG stocks taking a battering and the price of gold tumbling from its 2020 highs, is this still the case?
Disney Shares Surge After Subs Soar More Than Expected
09:17pm, Wednesday, 09'th Feb 2022 Zero Hedge
Disney Shares Surge After Subs Soar More Than Expected Disney shares are surging higher after-hours, erasing all the post-NFLX plunge as it appears Disney+ is stealing subs from Netflix. After all the streamers were hit on NFLX disappointing subscriber growth on 1/20 ; Disney has just reported that at the end of 2021, Disney Plus had 129.8 million paying customers worldwide, gaining 11.8 million for the quarter ended Jan. 1, 2022( smashing analysts'' expectation of net adds of 7.3 million for the period.) For the full year 2021, Disney Plus’ subscriber base grew 37%, up from 94.9 million a year prior. Hulu added 6.6 million subscribers to reach 45.3 million subs, and ESPN+ added 4.2 million subscribers to reach 21.3 million. Additionally, the company beat top- and bottom-line expectations, reporting revenue of $21.8 billion and net income of $1.1 billion, with earnings per share of $1.06 (Wall Street expectations were for revenue of $18.78 billion and EPS of $0.58). “We’ve had a very strong start to the fiscal year, with a significant rise in earnings per share, record revenue and operating income at our domestic parks and resorts, the launch of a new franchise with Encanto, and a significant increase in total subscriptions across our streaming portfolio to 196.4 million, including 11.8 million Disney+ subscribers added in the first quarter,” said Bob Chapek, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, in a statement. “This marks the final year of The Walt Disney Company’s first century, and performance like this coupled with our unmatched collection of assets and platforms, creative capabilities, and unique place in the culture give me great confidence we will continue to define entertainment for the next 100 years.” The bottom line - for now - is, it appears Disney+ is eating Netflix''s lunch (at least until Boba Fett is over anyway).

Peloton Tumbles After CEO Steps Down, Company Fires 2,800 Making Imminent Sale Unlikely
12:26pm, Tuesday, 08'th Feb 2022 Zero Hedge
Peloton Tumbles After CEO Steps Down, Company Fires 2,800 Making Imminent Sale Unlikely Peloton Chief Executive Officer John Foley will step down and become executive chair in a victory for activist investor Blackwells Capital which had campaigned for his departure/// and in a loss for all those who were hoping the company would quickly sell itself to Amazon, Nike or some other potential acquiror. As the WSJ first reported, Barry McCarthy, former CEO at Spotify, will become CEO and president, Peloton said in a statement Tuesday. Peloton also said about 2,800 global jobs would be cut, affecting around 20% of corporate positions as part of its dismal earnings release posted earlier today. In order to position itself for sustainable growth - which again means no immediate sale - the company is reducing its owned and operated warehouses and delivery teams, although Peloton’s roster of instructors and "breadth and depth of its content" will not be impacted by the initiatives. The company will also reduce its planned capital expenditures in 2022 by approximately $150 million.
