Good morning.
The market selloff has been brutal for tech stocks, but that’s the case in any selloff. Right now, one of the more interesting sectors is retail. The space as a whole now trades at a PE ratio of about 15, compared to 27 just a year ago. It’s the cheapest level for this sector since 2014.
There are good arguments for or against an investment now. Rising retail theft, particularly in places where low-level theft isn’t being prosecuted, is heavily cutting into retailer’s margins. And many consumers are cutting back on spending as prices rise.
That said, once the latest inflation fears start to fade, likely later in the year should year-over-year inflation levels start to decline, this sector could be poised for a takeoff toward its historic valuation of the past few years.

China Moves To Undermine America’s Last Economic Advantage
Beijing is very worried about the potential effects of sanctions on China’s vast holding of foreign assets, but the fact that they weren’t able to come up with any solution shows the extent to which China is locked into a structural problem. [Read Here]
Why April 2022 Will Go Down In History

Good morning.
Online auction site eBay (EBAY) became huge in the 1990s thanks to the demand for Beanie Babies. As the central site for that fad, the company was able to expand and survive the internet bubble.
Now, the company is looking to enable cryptocurrency payments, to better serve its customers. It’s also looking to break into the NFT, or non-fungible token market. NFTs are digital assets like a picture or song. While they can be copied, blockchain data provides the owner of the NFT with the assurance that they are, in fact, the original owner. NFTs have been big business so far this year, and show one of many applications for cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.

Good morning.
As you begin to look at the entirety of last week, it was a ride. So much optimism at the beginning and culminated with GOOG and FB gaping higher following earnings.
It peaked on hump day and never recovered. By the end of the week the gains were largely erased from industries that would benefit from reopening the economy. Some article will point to earnings or discussion of tariffs, but it makes you wonder whether the extensions in California in elsewhere began to dim the light at the end of a very long tunnel.
In Other News:
Get Ready for the Next Great Bull Market in Gold John Doody detailed why he thinks gold prices can shoot to $3,000 per ounce – and maybe more – in the near future.
My friends complain all the time about charging their Teslas. It takes five hours. And that’s just when it’s half dead.
So imagine their surprise when I recently told them about a brand-new green technology that charges not in hours, but in less than five minutes!
It’s as quick as filling a tank of gas, except there’s no carbon emissions…
It lasts hundreds of miles longer…
And it NEVER dies – it can recharge forever.
The only thing it emits is pure, clean drinking water.
Best of all, it’s cheaper than batteries. And safer.
Jimmy Mengel tested this technology himself recently…
And it’s so remarkable that I now agree with the experts who say: “this is the Tesla killer.”
Bloomberg projects it to “skyrocket 1,000 times over.” And best of all…
The tiny little-known stock behind the “Tesla Killer” trades for only a few bucks.
Don’t wait another moment.
Now you can lock in its shares for a few dollars, instead of over $400 like Tesla.
