General Motors Overcomes Challenges in Strong Third Quarter; Ford Backs Off 2020 Targets
Image Source: GM third-quarter earnings presentation. Despite challenges in its cost structure and the Chinese market, simulated newsletter portfolio idea General Motors turned in a strong third quarter report, and shares reacted favorably after several months of selling pressure. Rival Ford also reported a solid third quarter report, but it no longer expects to hit its 2020 EBIT margin and ROIC targets.

Wild Ride in the Markets -- Nelson
Image Source: Spencerville Rodeo. Market volatility has picked up quite a bit of late, and frankly you shouldn’t be the bit surprised. I’ve been quite active explaining the impact that the proliferation of index investing and quantitative investing has had and will have on the marketplace. The more people index or invest on backward-looking empirical criteria, as in most quant models, regardless of future expectations, the more people that are buying everything at any price and holding no matter what, the more people that aren’t making decisions on the basis of underlying valuations, then the more people that can contribute to severe price-to-fair value dislocations.

In the News: Expensive Energy, China’s Trade Surplus and Auto Market, and Big Tobacco Developments
The IEA is concerned about the impact of rising energy prices on global economic growth, and both it and OPEC have lowered near-term oil demand growth expectations. The impact of the US-China trade dispute continues to be sized up by a number of industries, including automakers, and big tobacco companies may be looking to the cannabis market for future growth as the space remains sensitive to potentially increasing regulations.

In the News: Gold, Auto Sales, General Electric
We don’t think gold makes much sense outside perhaps a very diversified portfolio. Auto sales weren’t all that great in September, and some are calling for a bottom in General Electric.

SEC Says Tesla’s Musk Broke Securities Laws, Allows Him to Retain CEO Role
Image Source: SEC_News via Twitter. The SEC may have set a dangerous precedent in settling with Musk and allowing him to remain CEO. Musk and Tesla will also pay a monetary fine and add more independence to the boardroom as a result of the entrepreneur’s alleged market-manipulating behavior conducted through Twitter. We don’t think Tesla, a company with just $50 billion market capitalization and makes no money, is too big to fail. Musk’s settlement with the SEC is a sweetheart deal, and one that now has the stock soaring.

In the News: Tesla’s Musk Charged with Securities Fraud; Facebook’s Security Issue
We continue to stay as far away from Tesla as possible. The company’s stock could still crater even more. It does not have a firm foundation at all. Facebook, despite being under continuous and tremendous scrutiny, is operating on a firm foundation, however. We continue to like shares of the social media giant, despite a recently-disclosed security problem. The more Facebook beefs up security and augments its platform, the bigger its competitive advantages become, as the entry costs for new entrants become even more insurmountable.
