 Investors are bailing on a popular trade due to the coronavirus surge. Allianz Global Investors’ Mona Mahajan finds a rush of money is flowing back into stay-at-home plays. “The cyclical story is on hold for now,” the firm’s U.S. investment strategist told CNBC’s “Trading Nation” on Thursday. “The trade is moving out of that reopening, cyclical trade which was more about sectors like airlines [and] hotels.” Mahajan attributes the shift to investor fear and uncertainty regarding the country’s ability to contain the virus. Despite the setback, Mahajan is optimistic. “It’s not dead forever,” she added. “There are a few things that could reignite it.” She lists a vaccine that becomes widely available, evidence virus cases have peaked and a resolution to the November presidential election.

 “Historically when elections are done, presidential elections in particular, markets tend to breathe a sigh of relief regardless of which party wins because that uncertainty is behind us,” noted Mahajan. According to her base case, stocks should grind higher in the year’s second half. But due to seasonal pattern, virus and elections risks, she predicts it’ll be a volatile environment for stocks over the next few months. “That time period in September and October has not been great for markets,” said Mahajan. “This year, it happens to coincide with one: school reopenings and potentially, what we’re hearing, of another flare-up in virus cases.” To cope with uncertainty, Mahajan favors a barbell approach to investing and looking to China and Europe — two regions that are reporting progress against new virus outbreaks. “There’s room to be a little bit more diversified,” said Mahajan, who views market downturns as a buying opportunity. On Thursday, the tech-heavy Nasdaq closed at a new all-time high. However, the S&P 500 and Dow closed lower. I hope this article helps you in your trading.

The market was weak throughout much of Thursday’s session as risk-off sentiment returned following a Supreme court ruling that will allow the grand jury to have access to President Trump's tax returns and other financial records. The Court blocked Congress' access to the records, but the ruling magnified nervousness over the November presidential election and provided another unwelcome bout of uncertainty for the market.

Over the last few days, shares of Novavax (NVAX) exploded higher. All after the U.S. government awarded the company a $1.6 billion contract to cover the testing, commercialization, and manufacturing of a potential vaccine — the biggest award issued from the White House’s “Operation Warp Speed” program. “What this Warp Speed award does is it pays for production of 100 million doses, which would be delivered starting in the fourth quarter of this year, and may be completed by January or February of next year,” Novavax Chief Executive Stanley Erck told Reuters.  The award will also cover the cost of a large Phase III trial as well. “Adding Novavax’ candidate to Operation Warp Speed’s diverse portfolio of vaccines increases the odds that we will have a safe, effective vaccine as soon as the end of this year,” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said, as quoted by Barron’s. Further progress from NVAX could easily send the stock to $150, near-term, we believe. In fact, our Biotech program profited on the latest move from $72.72 to $108. he opportunities we find quite often inside Extreme Option Profits.

Walmart’s answer to Amazon Prime will launch this month, according to a report by Vox’s Recode. The big-box giant confirmed in February that it plans to roll out a subscription-based service called Walmart+, but it hasn’t revealed details or its strategy to attract members and stand out from competitors. Shares rose by nearly 7% Tuesday to close at $126.95. The membership program will cost $98 per year and include same-day delivery of groceries, fuel discounts at Walmart gas stations and other perks, according to the Recode report. The report cites multiple unnamed sources. Walmart planned to launch Walmart+ in late March or April but delayed it because of the coronavirus pandemic, according to Recode. Walmart declined to comment about when the service will launch.

Since Amazon launched the Prime program about 15 years ago, it’s grown to more than 150 million members. Amazon has used the subscription-based service to entice customers to shop more frequently on its site. For $119 each year, customers get fast and free shipping, access to Amazon’s streaming service and discounts at Amazon-owned grocery store Whole Foods. Walmart has significantly grown its e-commerce business, but it’s lagged behind Amazon in market share and market cap. Amazon is valued at about $1.5 trillion, compared with Walmart, which is valued at about $360 billion as of late Tuesday. Walmart reported online sales growth of 37% for last year, topping its own goal of 35% growth. Its online sales surged by 74% in the fiscal first quarter that ended April 30, as the coronavirus pandemic drove more customers online for groceries and other essentials. The retailer has leaned on its grocery business to grow online. Walmart delivers to the home, but it also offers curbside service at its brick-and-mortar locations as a convenient option for customers. This spring, Walmart launched Express Delivery at many of its stores. The new service, which has a $10 fee, delivers purchases to customers’ doors in less than two hours.

The U.S. needs more face masks – and fast. Dr. Anthony Fauci just said the U.S. is “going in the wrong direction” and “would not be surprised if we go up to 100,000 a day if this does not turn around.” Making the situation far worse, the U.S. just ran out of free face masks. And with demand outweighing supply, the U.S. could run into a massive problem. If we see a boom in face mask demand, some of the top stocks to keep an eye on include:  Alpha Pro Tech (APT) This is the company that makes disposable face masks for the public, so you can guess why they’ve had such an astounding run lately.
3M (MMM) 3M also makes face masks and respirators, and could see big demand. As recently as April 2020, the company said, “The demand we have exceeds our production capacity.” That could happen again, we believe, if the virus gets out of control again.
Etsy Inc. (ETSY) ETSY exploded on face mask demand in recent weeks. “A surge in mask sales on ETSY since April has helped introduce its broader offerings to new shoppers,” wrote the Jefferies analysts, who recommend buying the stock and have a $110 price target,” reported CNBC. he opportunities we find quite often inside Extreme Option Profits.
