As MOMO Fever Fades, These Are The Stocks Goldman Is Rolling Into

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As we reported over the weekend, a rather concerned Goldman proclaimed the great momo rally - that one that led to so much gains in 2013 and to many losses so far in 2014 - dead, and in a sign that far less euphoria is coming over the horizon, said that while momentum stocks will hardly recover their panic buying highs, suggested that the best the S&P 500 can hope for - if history is any guide - is for a 5% rise in the broader market over the next 6 months (what it didn't add is that hardly any algos, and certainly no self-respecting TBTF banker, get out of bed for a measly 1% return per month). Perhaps more imprortantly, what Goldman also remarked on was what it thought would be the stocks that should benefit from the rotation out of momo names and into slower growth, low valuation, low momentum names.

The list of S&P 500 stocks with "low momentum, low valuation, and low growth based on Goldman Sachs Micro Equity Factors as of April 10, 2014, is shown  below.

Is this merely another muppet trap as Goldman is now selling low momo stocks and buying back into the uber-high beta names, or is Goldman actually concerned about its clients' well-being this time around... speaking of which, where's Stolper? We'll let readers decided for themselves.

No miners because GS is calling Au 1050 at year-end.

BBB=discretionary but Avon=staples, so towels are optional, but makeup isn't.  Got it.  Thanks.  I see the world as Goldman needs it to be now, very clearly.  Oh and there is Con Ed, everyone's favorite energy monopoly, charging up the NYC suburban market in order to pay for....?

So is this bullish or bearish for my Ensco shares?

STRONG POSSIBLE BUY/HOLD, MAYBE ACCUMULATE or MAYBE SELL/THEN BUY BACK rating (anything that will generate transaction fees)-- take it from there.

Dear Lord.....Come Quicly.   And throw this bunch of slimeballs into the Lake of Fire....and maybe put an additional flame thrower nozzle up Jamie Dimon and Lord Blankfeins ass.   And maybe put in some bleacher seats so all of the "Little People" can sit and observe God's Work REALLY being done.  Amen.

Family Dollar is a "Consumer Discresionary"

You use cloth diapers, like your grandma did. You spend the weekend washing them and sleep well at night for not increasing the refuse mountains that are poisoning all of us.

You're scared and don't know what to do? Don't worry Goldman Sachs' trade desk has some high-quality stocks they want to sell you. And if it turns out you don't like them they will even buy them back later on at a lower price. Nothing but the best service and advice for their Muppets.

Total Muppet Slay. Family Dollar, BBB, Staples? Good luck with that.

Family Dollar is their number 2 pick.  Must be the 300 stores they are closing.  Sounds like a growth story.

  Tommy Stolper is just hanging with his buddies after being evicted from the club... He seems quite happy based on this recent image though.

Aunt Yellen is in the aisles patting down market stiffies, cutting QEs left and right.  Take a look at the NASDAQ Biotech Index now (NBI).  The NBI has been leading the QQQQ, the NASDAQ, the S&P.   I see no stiffening resolve, no upward trajectory or direction, and only deflated markets going forward.

My Grandmother told me a couple things before she died about the great depression. One, never trust a banker they love foreclosures. Until the last few years this never made since now it's crystal clear. Two, she did not buy stocks again until 1962 and it was in Exxon.

Energy seems the safest bet if your going to go stocks but I'll wait for the correction first. I believe by 2016 valuations should be clearer also. After Momo's which are centralized business (read megacorps) comes funding into innovation again. But the laws to encourage this take time. So no hurry to buy Staples or other companies suited to serve small business.

Why listen to Goldman when we can all watch CNBC and watch Mad Money with Jim Cramer.  We can get excellent advice from Jim.  Jim must give great advice because CNBC and advertisers pay him big money for him to have his own show.

The last thing The Squid wants is to highlight miners. Why would they do that? So, the sheeples that listen to this scum sucking pig broker will buy them and move them higher? Nope, they go for the ones they have no interest in. They know as well as we that the one asset class that is grossly undervalued and has the possibility of multiples of expansion are....Miners. 

And not one of these bankster frauds has ever been indicted. AmeriKa!

one thing that's noticeable is the valuation of GM ... less than that of F, less than 1/3 of TM ... relatively speaking GM seem undervalued.
