Rivian to use LFP Batteries: Rivian, an EV competitor to Tesla, is trying to use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. Rivian is building for Amazon and this switch to LFP batteries is a play that Rivian feels confident in because battery giant EV maker BYD has already adopted the practice in China. Rivian is not a moral favorite of C3's but the mining ETFs and stocks that are focused on the EV industry continue to look solid. Check out ETF ticker BATT.

 

Celebrities always have our attention (What a tragedy). America at large is far more concerned with the Depp-Heard trial than anything else. including Elon/Twitter, Row v. Wade, Inflation, or President Biden.

 

Deals, Deals, Deals! This is the sentiment of some investors as all the major indexes were sent higher on Tuesday because of some investors thinking this buying opportunity could not be passed up. C3 agrees that this recent downturn in the market does present long-term investors a chance to build some serious wealth. 

 

Hiring Trends are going in the wrong direction. Netflix laid people off, Coinbase is slowing all hiring plans and Wayfair is putting a freeze on corporate hiring. These companies and others have all blamed the volatile economy. This is bad news for the Fed because they have two jobs. 1. keep inflation low. & 2. keep unemployment low. So far in 2022 the latter has not been a problem, but with this current trend the Fed may not just have inflation to worry about.

 

Banks are struggling and JPMorgan is doing the worst of the big names. JPM stock is down over 20%. Given JPMorgan performs terribly on the C3 Ethical Screening Process, we are some what delighted. However, big banks doing poorly does mean tumultuous times ahead for the general economy.

 

Elon vs. Twitter: Wait doesn't Elon own Twitter? Well, not yet. Elon and twitter disagree on how many users on the platform are bots/spam accounts. Elon is trying to bring down the price and Twitter executives are getting aggravated. Typical corporate dealings at play. Twitter says fewer than 5% of users are bots and Elon thinks almost 20% are Bots. Time will tell who is right.

 

The FDA authorized a Pfizer booster for 5-11 year-olds. We thought Covid was over!? Just including this here in case you see a jump in Pfizer stock .

 

 

Quick Hitters...

• Abbott's Michigan plant can start producing Baby Formula in two weeks thanks to FDA approval.
• McDonalds is selling all 850 stores in Russia to a local buyer.
• Goldman Sachs giving unlimited Vacation days to employees
• Elon calls ESG "An Outrageous Scam." Here at C3 we don't like to say we told you so, but...C3 says ESG is crap.
• US Women's Soccer will now make just as much as the Men. They perform better but they pull in a lot smaller audience. Paying people more than what their product or service produces is setting a bad precedent.
• School districts have not spent 93% ($122B) of their Covid Relief basically because teachers are in short supply. If not spent by SEP 2024 it will disappear.
• UK inflation is at 9%, a 40-year high.
• Biden's Defense Production Act is trying to help with the Baby Formula Shortage. What could go wrong?! (Cynicism intended).
