The S&P, Nasdaq and the Dow closed at a record high Friday.
With more than 75% the S&P 500 having reported results, fourth-quarter earnings are on track to have climbed 8%, which would be the best performance since the third quarter of 2014. The S&P 500 posted 48 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 150 new highs and 22 new lows.
The reality is there is always a Bull Market somewhere and right now it is in the United States. This week we provide some insights on our latest thinking for Twilio, the iShares Energy Sector ETF, CBRE Group, the Nuveen Municipal fund, and Facebook.
Highlights From The Past Month
Leadership Turnover At The Fed. Dan Tarullo unexpectedly announced that he is resigning in early April, just days after the Fed's general counsel Alvarez also announced that he is departing the Fed. What makes Tarullo's resignation particularly notable is that he has been the Fed's "regulatory point man" since 2009, suggesting some regulatory friction has emerged. In light of Trump's vow to crush Wall Street regulations, one can see why Tarullo thought his services are no longer necessary. His brief resignation letter to Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen didn’t give a reason for his departure. He said he has been privileged to serve at the Fed for eight years. The letter said his resignation will take effect “on or about” April 5. We wonder just what is in store for Yellen and other members of the Fed. This is such a critical juncture for interest rates.
Prime Minister Abe Visits The USA. With a hug and a handshake, President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe opened a new chapter in U.S.-Japan relations a week ago with Trump abruptly setting aside campaign pledges to force Tokyo to pay more for U.S. defense aid. Trump avoided repeating harsh campaign rhetoric that accused Japan of taking advantage of U.S. security aid and stealing American jobs. "We are committed to the security of Japan and all areas under its administrative control and to further strengthening our very crucial alliance," Trump said. "The bond between our two nations and the friendship between our two peoples runs very, very deep. This administration is committed to bringing those ties even closer," he added.
BMR Companies and Commentary
Apple (AAPL: $136, +3%)
It’s 13-F season. The 13-F report is filed by all investment shops detailing their holdings. This is where anybody with a computer and the internet can peer into the investment portfolios of the best investors on the planet. Well, our curious mind traveled through quite a few of the filings. We were surprised – though not really – to see investor after investor had recently increased their stake in Apple. The list of famous investors includes Greenlight Capital, Berkshire Hathaway, and Third Point. Berkshire won the prize for the largest increase in the size of their position, +277%. We recall that Warren took a position in Apple in May, right at the lows. He now holds 57.4 million shares, worth $7.8 billion. (This is the influence of Warren’s new young bucks who are making many of the new decisions in the company as the founder is now 86.)
So something must be going very right. Big investors are buying. Goldman Sachs research raised their price target from $133 to $150. What is going on? It is slowly coming to light just how undervalued the Services business is. People still don’t widely appreciate that Apple’s Services business alone would be a Fortune 100 company. Services now contributes profit greater than all non-iPhone segments combined.
UBS research estimates that if Services were valued similarly to PayPal, shares would be at least 10% higher.
BMR Take: There are times to be a contrarian, but now sure does not look like one of those times. The Apple train is breaking new speed.
Consensus Ratings for Apple

Apple set a new all-time high last week of a shade over $136. We hereby raise the Price Target from $140 to $155. Our Sell Price remains: “We would not sell Apple.”
Twilio (TWLO: $32, +16% for the month*)
*All prices in The Bull Market Report are for the past 30 days
We wrote early this in the Weekly Bull Market Report week about Twilio’s encouraging quarter. We wanted to circle back and follow up with more detail here about what investors are worried about. Sometimes when you ask the hard questions and go searching for the answers, you find out that the risks are less of a concern than one fears on the surface.
Investors’ worries on this stock generally fall into several categories: 1) gross margins; 2) eventual competition from AWS**; 3) pricing pressure from current competitors; and 4) the lock-up expiration. Let’s hit each one.
**Amazon Web Services
Twilio’s gross margin of 59% this quarter was above consensus of 56%. When asked about how the company plans to get from here to its long-term target 60-65%, CFO Lee Kirkpatrick pointed out that Twilio has “significant levers” that it can pull. The first is product mix. Management described the second lever as efficiencies gained through scale – this includes driving better deals with carriers and passing less of the savings to customers.
Another risk for investors to keep an eye on longer term is the potential for competition from AWS. AWS is not a competitor today, but Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is known to covet large markets and the communications services market is substantial. In fact, Amazon and Twilio are currently working together. The Amazon relationship seems to be strong and is multifaceted. Note that Twilio runs entirely on AWS. Second, Twilio is already helping AWS with mobile products. Third, CEO Jeff Lawson was on stage at AWS re:Invent in November and commented, “We’re really excited to announce some upcoming collaboration with AWS soon.” Last, Rick Dalzell (Amazon’s former SVP of Worldwide Architecture and Platform Software and CIO) has been a member of Twilio’s board of directors since 2014.
Investors are also concerned Twilio may face pricing pressure from its current competitors, which include Nexmo (Vonage acquired them in May) and Plivo, among others. Twilio’s services are generally priced at a premium to these competitors. For example, for outbound SMS messages, Twilio charges $0.0075/message, compared to $0.0061 for Nexmo and $0.0035 for Plivo. Our view is that Twilio is generally able to charge a premium because it: 1) has significant mindshare within the developer community; 2) offers a high-quality, reliable solution; and 3) continues to release new features and software products. Mr. Lawson indicated on the earnings call that he seeks to “build a broad platform that is widely applicable, priced aggressively, and designed to enable developers’ creativity to flourish across the widest set of use cases imaginable.”
The availability of additional shares for sale in the market could adversely affect Twilio’s stock price. Twilio went public in June, selling 10 million shares at $15. Twilio completed a follow-on offering in October selling 7 million shares at $40. Roughly 30 million shares cleared lock-up restrictions in December and another 36 million shares were set to clear lock-up restrictions on January 19th. However, roughly 31M of those shares were subject to the company’s black-out period for insiders. Our understanding is these shares will clear the restricted period this Friday. Some of the largest shareholders of Twilio include Bessemer Venture Partners, Union Square Ventures, and Redpoint Ventures, which owned 17M, 10M, and 3M shares immediately after the follow-on offering, respectively.
BMR Take: Okay, we might see some pressure from the lock-up expiration that happened a week ago Friday, but this is normal Wall Street procedure. Besides, we are sure that many of these owners will want to hold on for the coming years of growth. Furthermore, the business is building momentum making the stock attractively priced at this level.
CBRE Group (CBG: $36, +16%)
What a week. CBRE ended 2016 on a high note. For the year, revenue was $13.1 billion, up 20%, and EPS was $2.30, up 12%. CBRE recorded double-digit earnings growth for the fourth quarter and the year, with excellent performance in all three regional services businesses.
These results are particularly noteworthy in a year of generally softer market-wide property sales volumes, virtually no carried interest income, and tepid global economic growth. In fact, the company’s revenue and earnings performance set new record highs in 2016.
In addition to achieving record financial performance, very importantly, CBRE continued to advance its strategy. This strategy centers around delivering exceptional outcomes to clients. The company’s people and the operating platform that supports them are the key elements to delivering these outcomes. Both advanced materially in 2016, and the impact is showing up on the company’s results.
CBRE is in a stronger competitive position than ever. A good example of the strategic gains made in 2016 is the work done integrating the Global Workplace Solutions acquisition, one of the largest and quite possibly the most complex in the history of the real estate sector. This effort involved massive client facing, and line of business and back-office transformations. The result of having largely completed this challenging work is that the company’s occupier outsourcing business is much larger, much more capable of producing strong client outcomes, and well-positioned for strong long-term growth.
The company is now serving clients with employees on the ground in over 100 countries. What a big business. CBRE remains riveted on sustaining progress with particular focus on areas such as technology and data analytics where it can capitalize on the expertise and vast amounts of information it possesses. For example, last month CBRE acquired Floored, a leading software-as-a-service platform that produces scalable, interactive 3D visualization technologies for commercial real estate. Clients should expect continued visible advancements from CBRE in the technology area.
BMR Take: CBRE’s nickname is the “Bentley” of the real estate sector and in 2016 the business lived up to the expectations. The key takeaway from the earnings call was that no matter the interest rate environment, performance should be rock solid in 2017.
Facebook (FB: $133, +4%)
The controversy is nearing an end as Facebook committed to an audit of ad metrics by a media watchdog. Facebook agreed to submit to audits by the media industry’s measurement watchdog, the Media Rating Council, helping address concerns among some advertisers who had become skeptical of the social network’s metrics.
Facebook had come under fire recently after a series of missteps in which it disclosed several mistakes in reporting data to partners and advertisers. The company conducted its own review of practices and vowed to be more transparent about errors in the future. According to plans for the next year laid out in a statement Friday, Facebook said it aims to release more detailed information, such as metrics on how long users view an ad and how much of it was visible on the screen.
“We want to provide transparency, choice and accountability,” Facebook said. “Transparency through verified data that shows which campaigns drive measurable results, choice in how advertisers run campaigns across our platforms, and accountability through an audit and third-party verification.” Representatives from Facebook gave a presentation Thursday in Washington to the board of the Association of National Advertisers, a trade group for marketers. The meeting attendees were particularly interested in the promise for more transparency and an audit process.
BMR Take: Investors have been waiting for the advertising reporting issues to go away. Well, here we are - the event is happening. This new audit should address and resolve the issue. No more overhang for the stock from this. Having an independent organization validate the metrics Facebook puts out makes the data more trustworthy and provides advertisers with the ability to compare results across ad platforms. Now we can go back to focusing on the fundamentals where Facebook is firing on all cylinders. We are big believers in Facebook as it hovers near its all-time high of $135.50. And despite all of the controversy as discussed above, the stock stays within a whisker of its all-time high.
Upcoming Economic News
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22
Existing Home Sales – January
Time: 10:00 am
Forecast: 5.55 million
Existing home sales look to move higher in January after sliding in December. Sales rose 7% year-over-year in the fourth quarter, keeping the housing recovery steadily on track. With only four months’ worth of inventory at the latest monthly sales pace, prices will continue to climb, encouraging more homeowners to sell.
FOMC Meeting Minutes
Time: 2:00 pm
The minutes from the uneventful February FOMC meeting will give some indications about what policymakers expect for growth and inflation. The outlook for the economy is clouded by the potential actions of the new administration. Yet some near-term upward pressure on prices and wages still keeps the Fed on track to lift its policy rate three times this year. SO THEY SAY. Who is they? The analysts and pundits. We at The Bull Market Report aren’t so sure. We are watching the 10-year note which is stuck at the 2.4% range. We are in the camp of LOWER interest rates ahead, not higher. Watching and waiting are we.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24
New Home Sales – January
Time: 10:00 am
Forecast: 575,000
New home sales are projected to rebound sharply in January after slumping to a 10-month low in December. Even with the December setback, the sales pace remains exceptionally strong at 25% year-over-year in the fourth quarter. Growth in new home sales can continue to be stellar. The most recent monthly sales pace is 25% above the average of the past 20 years.
University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment – February
Final Time: 10:00 am
Forecast: 96.0
The preliminary value of the Michigan Sentiment Index showed above-average confidence despite slipping from January’s 12-year high. Consumers are starting to feel the bite of higher gasoline prices, as short-term inflation expectations rose to equal the 23-month high. But long-term inflation expectations are muted at just 2.5% annualized between five and ten years ahead, as a sustained acceleration in price growth is doubtful.

Here is another: “Opko Health CEO Phillip Frost acquired 12,000 shares of the business's stock in a transaction dated Friday, January 27th.”
BMR Take: This guy knows something we don’t know. Have you read the article in Forbes about him yet? We published the url twice now. (If you haven’t read it and would like to, please write us at Info@BullMarket.com) Despite these purchases the stock remains weak. We believe in this man and this company. We would buy some here, buy some at $7 if it goes lower, and we would buy some every dollar higher as it moves towards $15 again.
Annaly Capital Management (NLY: $10.82, up 5%).
Why We Love Thee.
With an 11.1% dividend yield, it's one of the highest yielding stocks on the market today. It is a real estate investment trust and a Mortgage REIT, specializing in mortgage-backed securities, or MBS's. A REIT is simply an investment fund that owns income-producing real estate or real estate-related assets. Among other requirements, a REIT must invest at least 75% of its total assets in real estate assets and cash, and derive at least 75% of its gross income from real estate-related sources. And it has to pay out 90% of its income.
In Annaly's case, it doesn't invest directly in real estate, but rather in MBS's. These are fixed-income securities, much like bonds, that are backed by residential mortgages. Annaly invests in securities that are issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and are thus backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. It means that the risk that its assets will default is nil.
On Annaly's most recent balance sheet, for instance, agency MBS's accounted for $82 billion out of $88 billion in total assets.
Annaly's biggest task is to deal with the interest rate risk. Annaly uses leverage to buy assets. They borrow money at low short-term interest rates and invest that money in higher-yielding long-term assets - MBS's. The firm has $88 billion in assets, composed of $13 billion in equity and $75 billion in debt. Thus the leverage is about 5 to 1. In years past, this leverage has been as high as 10-1. We are pleased to see the leverage at this lower level. Annaly hedges the risk of rising short term rates by buying interest rate swaps. These are financial derivatives designed to lock in the cost of financing. Annaly has outstanding interest rate swaps of approximately $31 billion.
As we mentioned above, as a REIT Annaly must distribute at least 90% of its income to shareholders to qualify as a REIT. Thus, Annaly doesn't have to pay corporate income taxes on its earnings.
The dividend yield of Annaly is currently 11.1%. That's almost six times greater than the 1.95% yield on the S&P 500.
In order to grow its capital Annaly sells new shares of stock in secondary offerings. In the old days they used to do this as much as twice a year, each time raising $500 million to $1 billion in fresh equity. In the new Annaly world, they don’t do as many secondaries, as management is content with growing the NAV slowly, with the company now worth over $11 billion.
BMR Take: We are comfortable with the company growing NAV slowly, as we hope you are too. Patient investors can sit back contentedly and enjoy the 11% dividend and if the stock is up just 50 cents in a year, that’s another 5% in overall growth producing over 15% in a year. And note that last week the stock was up 30 cents!
The Yield Curve Today. Or, Where are Interest Rates Going?
“Everyone” thinks rates are going higher. Right? You feel this way too, don’t you! Well, we don’t think this way. We think rates might just decide to peter out here and fall back. The 10-year US Treasury Note is at 2.42% right now, up from the 1.8% level before the election. But note that rates around the world are in many cases much lower than what we have in this country. In fact, late last year over $11 trillion was paying ZERO interest.
Take a look at this chart, concentrating on the 10-year notes in gray:
Note that Germany, Switzerland and Japan are hovering around 0%. How could this be? The answer to that may take our writing a book, but suffice it to say that IT IS REAL. And if it can happen in Germany and Switzerland, can it happen here?
BMR Take: The short answer? Yes it can. It “could” happen here. Will it? We wish we knew, but with all the turmoil in the world economically, we think there is more likelihood of rates going down rather than up at this time. We are not convinced that Yellen will have the power to buck THE MARKET. The MARKET will dictate interest rates, not the Fed. We see interest rates going lower rather than higher. And when rates go down, bonds and bond-like funds go up. Food for thought.
The World of the Supernova
This is Tom Friedman’s name for the Cloud. We don’t generally plug books here at The Bull Market Report, but if you want to know what the world of Technology is doing right now, the book to read is his new book, Thank You for Being Late. What the internet and Moore’s Law* is doing in this world of ours is astounding. Here’s some food for thought, a quote from Tom Goodwin of Havas Media in March, 2015: “Uber, the world’s largest taxi company, owns no vehicles. Facebook, the world’s most popular media owner, creates no content. Alibaba, the most valuable retailer, has no inventory. And Airbnb, the world’s largest accommodation provider, owns no real estate. Something interesting is happening.” Friedman goes on to say: “In the age of the supernova, there has never been a better time to be a maker – anywhere.”
*Moore’s Law – The power of the microprocessor doubles every two years. Since 1971.
BMR Take: Why are we printing this here? We want you to THINK about the Technology companies that are driving this growth. The Facebooks, the Apples, the Googles, the Amazons, the Microsofts. These companies are all in our High Technology portfolio and they will continue to lead and drive the growth and innovation in the world in the next decade(s).

The High Yield Corner
By Michael Foster
Special to The Bull Market Report
This week was another quiet one for the markets, and high yield assets saw minimal movements with a couple of important exceptions. The biggest exception is the BDC sector, which was driven higher by some good earnings results. The UBS BDC ETF (BDCS: $23, up 2%) was one of the biggest gainers among high yield ETFs this week, thanks to constituent firms like Pennant Park Floating Rate Capital (PFLT: $14.00) and Medley Capital Corporation (MCC: $8.00) reporting solid earnings. Medley alone soared over 4% by the end of the week despite a 1% decrease to NAV that has become expected for BDCs. Also baked into valuations was a 16% decrease in net investment income per share - we’re now sitting at 19 cents for the company. Yet Medley’s dividend is 22 cents per share, so this quarter the company under-earned its payout by over 13%. That’s a pretty big miss.
Medley Capital is just one example of a problematic industry that requires more selective investing and a lot more due diligence than was necessary in the past for BDCs. These are effectively funds that leverage assets that are then lent to companies picked by management. In such a situation, debt quality is critical. Yet many of these companies have no real credit rating to speak of - and many of them are tiny, with revenues below $100 million per year. BDCs comprise dozens, sometimes over 100 of such companies. To really determine the value of a BDC and its relative future strength, you would need to look into the revenue trends for each of these companies and the condition of their existing capital. No small task, and a lot of time to invest for what should ultimately remain a very small portion of any one investor’s portfolio.
And that’s why we’re currently on the BDC sidelines, despite some strength in the broader index. The problem is this: we’re seeing net investment income per share drop for most of these companies, with only the best and brightest outperforming. In the past, such as in 2013, the market viciously punished these sorts of declines, but we’re not seeing that punishment yet. There is a clear disconnect between fundamentals and the value that the market is seeing in the BDC space. That’s enough to make anyone cautious, and has left us clearly on the sidelines until we can get some more coherent and consistent income growth. Especially since income growth is easy to find in many other pockets of the market.
Take, for instance, PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund (PDI: $29, up 1%), which has seen its NAV grow at an annualized 17% since its IPO. The fund has already appreciated by over 2% in 2017, and we’re not even at Valentine’s Day. The feat this fund has accomplished is really incredible - so much so that many people fundamentally misunderstand and mistrust how this fund makes money.
So how do they do it? The rather simple answer is asset selection. By combining undervalued corporate bonds with a variety of mortgage-backed securities, the Dynamic Income Fund has been able to sustainably return double-digit yields to investors without depleting capital. The market has rewarded this outperformance with a premium to NAV - something that one must always watch carefully, especially in a world as volatile as closed-end funds. And PDI’s premium is growing. In fact, PDI’s 10% premium is almost at the highest level we have ever seen for this fund. But there’s no fundamental weakness in this fund and no reason to expect its strong historical performance to stop.
So what is an investor to do? At the moment, we recommend holding, but a rotation of assets from PDI to a similar but better-valued fund may be in order in the future. This is an area worth watching closely and we’ll have ideas for you if things change.
It would be nice to see a similar problem come to the AllianzGI Equity and Convertible Income Fund (NIE: $19.44, up 1%), but this fund’s current 10% discount is pretty much par for the course when we look at its historical discount. Allianz’s fund hasn’t been priced at a premium since 2009, but its discount has frequently dipped below 15% in recent years. The fact that we’re at the upper end of the historical range for the discount indicates that even this unloved but strong performer is getting closer to pricing to perfection. But that doesn’t mean we need to sell the fund. This is a great closed end fund that has given investors a 6% annualized NAV return since inception, and its NAV is even 9% higher than it was at inception - a rare feat for CEFs. Allianz has done a great job of doing, in the convertible and equity sectors, what Pimco has done with its Dynamic Income Fund in the corporate and mortgage-backed bond markets: Make great investments by selective choices, and provide a strong return as a result.
This doesn’t mean we’re recommending holding these funds forever. We are getting closer and closer to a portfolio rotation moment in high yield, which means watching the market weekly is getting more important than ever before.
And the markets are telling us that there’s some exhaustion in the protracted Trump bull rally. Again, you can forget the political controversies surrounding the executive orders; they make great talking points for both sides of the aisle, and they’ve unfortunately made their ways into the editorial pages of the financial press, but none of this has any significant impact on America’s financial or economic future at the moment. The real action is elsewhere, namely in monetary policy and GDP growth. We really need to see changes to the Fed’s monetary policy (or at least a delivered rate hike as promised) or significant changes in the GDP growth rate to drive high yield assets away from their current trendline.
We’re not seeing that, so the indexes are a bit sleepy. The SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF (JNK: $37) and the SPDR Dow Jones REIT ETF (RWR: $94) were flat for the week, with minimal gains in the REIT world offset by a small decline in the Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP: $13.04, down -2%). Meanwhile, there was more sleepy action with the iShares S&P National AMT-Free Municipal Bond Fund (MUB: $108, flat).
This quiet is actually good news for long-term investors. We’ve been inundated with gloom and doom economic forecasting since 2008 - and why not? Plenty of data points look bad, and the Global Financial Crisis is still a recent memory for most of us. And every passing year since the crash urges more pundits and analysts to tell us that we’re “overdue” for a correction or an outright recession. Yet the markets do not see things that way.
At the same time, markets aren’t going crazy. We’re not seeing the heady bubble days of 2006-2007. No one is suggesting there is any “sure thing” in the markets, just like people insisted buying a house was a “sure thing” in 2006. There is a lot of price growth in equities, but no real sign of a runaway market where prices have gone far past fundamentals. Things look even more cautious in the municipal and junk bond markets, where prices still remain below their high point in 2014 and 2015. We are far away from the irrational exuberance that Nobel-winning economist Robert Shiller warned about both before the dotcom bust and before the housing crisis. That means income-seeking investors can still find funds to invest their money and get strong returns.
Unfortunately, such a state of affairs won’t last forever, so investors need to remain aware of the risks in the market. But they don’t need to be in a panic.
Finally, a quick word on one outperformer that bears a bit of particular scrutiny. AstraZeneca (AZN: $29.50, up 6%) continued to have a monstrous bull run after their recent earnings results. Fourth quarter earnings surged 56% and beat expectations by 3 cents at $1.21 per share despite a 13% slide in total revenues. This was driven by a 52% decline in Crestor sales and a 14% decline in Symbicort sales, which was offset by growth in newer drugs like Zoladex. Following the news, Bloomberg published a rumor that the company may sell off its old drug businesses to raise cash that could be applied to new research initiatives.
Our take on all this is clear: AstraZeneca has been a thorn in our high yield portfolio, being the only significant decliner in a portfolio of otherwise sharp outperformers. It was only a matter of time before the company lived up to its potential, and we’re happy to finally see that start to happen. We’re still down slightly from a year ago (excluding dividends.) But the recent turnaround tells us there’s more room for Astra-Zeneca to redeem itself.
Good Investing,
