LINK --> Massive Unrest In Europe, Energy Crisis Could Be the Catalyst to Topple the Global Markets
Sep 8, 2022
-
The European energy crisis continues to unfold, and we’ve been keeping our members updated on this huge story. In the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the European Union (‘EU’) along with key Western allies (such as the US, UK, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and Australia) imposed punishing economic sanctions on Russia to hinder its efforts in Ukraine and deter other nations from pursuing imperialistic land grabs. Russia retaliated by limiting the flow of various energy products to nations that imposed those sanctions. In particularly, energy flows from Russia to member nations within the EU were curtailed aggressively, with an eye towards France, Italy, and Germany along with Poland and the Baltic states (Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia). Natural gas, crude oil, and petroleum product exports from Russia to EU member nations have tanked this year. The land war in Ukraine has not grown into a massive economic war in Europe, and this catalyst could be the one that topples the global markets.

Post-Mortem on Facebook (Meta Platforms): Apple Crushed Our Thesis

Image: Thesis creep kept us excited about Meta, but we've since trimmed the "weighting" in the simulated Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio.
We still like Meta near these technical support levels, but only as a smaller "weighting" in the simulated Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio, as updated August 19. What more can we say--Apple is eating Facebook’s lunch, and the iPhone giant is now advancing with its advertising revenue, too. Apple blew up our thesis on Meta, and that's the long and short of it.

Korn Ferry’s Stock Helps Diversify Best Ideas Newsletter Portfolio
Sep 7, 2022
-
Image Shown: Within the realm of the global consulting industry, Korn Ferry’s revenues are well-diversified in terms of both the geographic markets and industries it caters to. We like shares of Korn Ferry as an idea in our Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio. Image Source: Korn Ferry – First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 IR Earnings Presentation.
We continue to be big fans of Korn Ferry and view its growth outlook quite favorably. The company’s pivot towards digitally providing its services combined with its pristine balance sheet has resulted in a rock-solid business model that can withstand the various exogenous shocks seen of late, from inflationary pressures to supply chain hurdles to labor shortages to rising geopolitical tensions across the globe. Korn Ferry’s capital appreciation upside potential remains substantial, and while the stock is facing pressure following the report, we still like shares as an important diversifying presence in the simulated Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio.
