Too Much Going On To Be Bullish (Cont.) Noble, Stock Updates

I've been doing my mid-year round up with strategists, investors and ship-owners, and while i have remained generally positive on the commodities and gold etc rebounds from whence  they came 6 months ago, I cut my equities and trade exposures by about half in the last few weeks. I moved before any blame could link to a Brexit or a terror attack because ultimately the money made trading from the lows of 1Q16 could find zero support in [real] data or logic.

CM Research

CM Research is an independent research house based in London, England. We provide global thematic research in the Technology, Media and Telecoms (TMT) sectors. 

Our focus is on disruptive technologies: how will they unfold; which industries will be impacted; and who will be the ultimate winners and losers. 

Our aim is to help investors predict share prices and corporate executives stay one step ahead of the technology trends that are shaping their industry. 

We research technology investment themes in detail and then feed the results into a scorecard system to quantify the impact of several conflicting themes on individual stocks. 

Recent themes covered include internet TV, the Internet of Things, Big Data, Mobile payments, crowdfunding, artificial intelligence, the cloud, software defined networking and Generation Hashtag.

We cover the top 500 global TMT stocks by market capitalisation and several technology start-ups and pre-IPO companies too. 

In 2015, CM Research analysts outperformed the Bloomberg Benchmark Analyst Index - which measures how good analysts are at predicting stock prices - by 7.1%.

Forget everything you learned about Millennials....Millennials were ‘digital’ as defined by the discrete electronic tasks they performed on laptops, iPods or mobile handsets. Generation Hashtag, by contrast, is ‘born digital’.Generation Hashtag has never seen a world without the Internet. They were born into smartphones, social media and the sharing economy. They are technology reliant, hyper-aware and extremely demanding. They are the first generation not to have to read or typed using a computer. For them, it is a world of touch screens filled with constellations of online apps.... and focus on Generation HashtagAged 10 to 24 and numbering about 1.2 billion people worldwide, Generation Hashtag comprises the younger Millennials and the older cohorts of Generation Z. Every year for the next decade, at least one hundred million of them will enter the world of work. They do things differently to previous generations. They will soon become the primary agenda setters for the corporate world, quite literally forcing corporations to re-compile the world using a ‘native digital first’ mindset.
