S&P 500 Price Forecast – Stock Markets Continue to Rally
The S&P 500 has rallied a bit to kick off the trading session on Wednesday as we continue to see a lot of noise coming back into the marketplace. With this being the case, I like the idea of buying short-term pullbacks, as it gives you an opportunity to find value in a market that is so very obviously bullish. After all, the Federal Reserve is going to keep monetary policy as loose as possible for the foreseeable future, and that is with stock markets like.

New Sonar Survey Discovers Large Unsalvaged Sections of SB Pulaski, 1838
Jacksonville, FL, June 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire — Project partners Blue Water Ventures, Inc. (OTCPK: BWVI), Endurance Exploration Group, Inc. (OTCPK:EXPL), and Marex International, Inc. are pleased to announce the start of the 2021 Recovery season on the SB Pulaski-1838.
The M/V Blue Water Rose was deployed off the North Carolina coast in early June with specialized high resolution side-scan sonar equipment and tasked with conducting an intense, high resolution sonar imaging survey of the areas near the project’s most recently salvaged site of the SB Pulaski. The mission, led by project managers Mark Martin and Rodney Grambo, has now located and inspected several dozen additional debris fields believed associated with the SB Pulaski sinking. The debris, which includes large sections of the ship’s machinery and contents, is scattered along a drift-line of several miles. Most importantly, a new section of the wreck, believed to be the elusive stern section which has evaded us for several years, is now believed to have been located. This section includes what appears to be an approximately one-hundred-foot section of the ship’s wooden keel, and a very large concentration of shipwreck artifacts and material. The SB Pulaski’s stern section sank approximately one hour after the ship’s boilers exploded causing the ship to break into two pieces, spilling her machinery and contents while the two ship’s sections continued to float until sinking.

Shift In Inverter Model Should Yield Higher Profits Starting In 2023
H1:21 Results Driven By Jewelry & The Ideenion Closing. AFMG reported first half Revenue of HK$241.1 million, beating our estimate due to much higher legacy Jewelry sales. Two IEs were delivered during the period, as expected, however Outsourced Engineering Revenue was weaker due to COVID-related delays and the Jinpeng business being booked through Ideenion, which only had roughly one month included in the period. Operating expenses were higher than expected, at HK$267.6 million, due primarily to HK$106.8 million in non-cash stock-based charges. Losses from JVs and Associates totaled HK$22.9 million. Net Loss for the period was HK$201.8 million.
Operations & Model Update. We made a number of significant changes to our model. We continued to spread out deliveries of the initial IE deliveries and pushed out EVO deliveries by six months, but added in 10 additional IE Roadster units to be delivered in the next 18 months. We also adjusted the Inverter from a license model to a product sale model, which had a significant impact on the model. Switching from a license model to an OEM model, including partnering with a European motor manufacturer for the electric motor, will push out Revenue for this product and reduce the gross margin. However, the Revenue and Net Margin from this product should be higher as compared to what the license model would have produced. We expect there will be immediate demand from OEMs to test the Inverter/Electric Motor later this year. We also made reductions to the Jinpeng JV due to COVID-related delays. The timing of EVO deliveries, Jinpeng sales growing, and commercial orders for the Inverter set up 2023 to be a big year for AFMG, and all of this still excludes the Shanghai JV, which could potentially deliver more than 1,000 Apollo-branded EVs in 2023; we will continue to hold off adding this to our model until greater detail is provided on the structure and plan for the proposed JV.

How does DEF stack up against Consumer Staples ETFs?
About a month ago, this blog profiled the defensive qualities of the three largest ETFs representing the US Consumer Staples Sector. One of our readers asked a logical question. How did DEF, the Invesco Defensive Equity ETF, stack up against the sector ETFs? After all, its objective of its rules-based methodology is to select companies that potentially have superior risk-return profiles during periods of stock market weakness while still offering the potential for gains during periods of market strength.
