ATT CEO now on CNBC: I don't think this phone will be crazy (like 4G to 5G) but ultimately the consumer will decide.

So the financials are giving market moving forward commentary at their conference, what's all this shit about conferences just regurgitating what was said on earnings calls...or is that a tech thing

Don't think a soft landing/slowdown will derail the shift that's got some life thanks to AI...something deeper could have an impact

Awww Dan, the retest of the lows was so close 😥

I continue to look beyond the tech sector & the Magnificent 7 for ideas through year-end. I like consumer staples, telecom services & utilities as sectors that will benefit from rate cuts through year-end though roughly overbought near-term. Sentiment in oil is now getting negative enough that I believe it is a good time to look at the energy sector as well.

WTI oil last traded at these levels of $66 in December of 2021 and is near oversold levels. I believe for prices to go much lower, that global GDP growth will need to slow dramatically despite: 1) low oil prices now acting as a stimulant for global growth, and 2) expected rate cuts by central banks.

Hidden Value Gems
A thought-provoking 24-page piece by @CliffordAsness on sticking with value investing, even if it is harder now than before.

Some excerpts:

➡️"I believe markets have gotten less efficient over the 34 years since the data in my dissertation ended. I believe it’s likely happened for multiple reasons but technology, gamified 24/7 trading on your phone, and social media in particular are the biggest culprits."

➡️"I think the ups and downs will be bigger and last longer, making more money for those who can stick with it long term, but making it harder to do so."

➡️"Smart investors worry about good strategies getting arbitraged away. That is, too many people are doing them, so going forward they will not look as good as their presumably attractive past. I think old-school active value and quality stock picking has seen the opposite occur. We should all look to fade strategies that have been arbitraged down and feed strategies that have been starved for capital."

➡️"Good investing has always been a challenge combining a) discerning what is right, and b) sticking with what is right. Both have always been vital and both still are. But if markets are indeed “less efficient,” the first task has actually gotten easier, and the second is harder — and the skills needed to pursue good investing have shifted."
