Once upon a time I was a short. I wrote in an article that Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) was overvalued: I was wrong – very wrong. I’ve seen the light and I’m long again in Nvidia, the company that I’ve been in and out of since it IPO’ed.
When I looked at Nvidia with my “short” eyes, I saw a company that looked very overvalued. Possibly it still is for this time period, but once its growth prospects are factored in and contrasted with how AMD is simply not bringing the heat with Vega, things only look better for Nvidia. I could inform you all about datacenter, automotive, and self-driving cars which Nvidia is currently working on, but you already know all of that. However, do you know about AMD Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AMD) Vega?
AMD Vega
I like AMD, and I’ve made a lot of money investing and trading in it – from long stock to covered calls, buying and selling puts, and speculative calls. Heck, I even looked at warrants. Yet, while I really like the company as a trading vehicle (along with the long-term prospects), I just can’t get behind Vega as an investor. As a gamer the Vega 56 is decent, but just that – decent.

options investing: Panasonic Corporation (PCRFY)
Advisors’ Opinion:
- [By SEEKINGALPHA.COM]
Clean Technica reported on September 1 that “Sony is entering the EV battery manufacturing industry”. And “considering that electric vehicle batteries are going to be the main supply bottleneck for the upcoming auto market’s embrace of EVs, the entry of Sony into the field is very notable. Most of the other manufacturers (Panasonic (OTCPK:PCRFY), LG Chem (OTC:LGCLF), etc.) already have more or less all of their production capacity locked up for the coming years – meaning there’s not much left for the auto manufacturers that are running behind, thereby limiting potential EV sales for the firms in question. Sony’s (NYSE:SNE) entry into the field should open things up a bit more”. Certainly a good move by Sony and helpful for the EV companies that will find themselves in need of batteries, and limited availability, should EVs reach 10% by 2020.

SMMYY is a subsidiary of the Sumitomo Group. SMMYY is a major smelter and refiner of copper, nickel and gold in Japan, and has a 27.5% stake in the Ambatovy Nickel Project in Madagascar, along with Sherritt International and Korea Resources Corp. Feedstock for the refinery is nickel cobalt mixed sulphide from its Taganito and Coral Bay mines in the Philippines (noting the Philippines is a risky supply source at this time). Sumitomo supply Panasonic (OTCPK:PCRFY) who supply Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA); however, this can change. Generally, I like the stock; however, at this time, valuation looks full, trading on a 2017 PE of 32.8, and 2018 PE of 14.8. Good to buy after a pullback if that occurs.

A Unilever vs. Panasonic (OTCPK:PCRFY) showdown seems to be something out of an alternative, weird universe. But that’s exactly what has been happening in the Asia-Pacific region, where Unilever is now a major seller of air and water purification devices. The acquisitions of Qinyuan and Pureit water purifiers, as well as the acquisition of Sweden-based Blueair in 2016, reflects Unilever’s latest growth strategy of reducing exposure to low-growth brands in favor of greater investments in higher-growth products with strong social and environmental credentials.

During the early stages of a new innovation, interdependent architectures and integrated companies best optimize performance and functionality. This trend has played out in computing and handsets, and we see the same trend playing out in EVs. We find Tesla and BYD1 , by far, the most vertically integrated players in EVs, with huge scale advantages. In addition, LG Chem, Panasonic (PCRFY), Samsung SDI, BYD, and CATL are clear scale leaders in batteries (CATL is not publicly traded. All but Samsung SDI and BYD are not covered by Bernstein.).
