Market Spotlight by Tracks –
Market Movement-
Although the market has been pulling back recently, the S&P is down less than 5% from the all time highs and is still in a bullish trend. Analysts predict a little volatility in Q1 as the US goes through a change in administration, but expect a return to the upside once that settles. Currently, the top 10 stocks by weight in the S&P account for 36% of the value, so these are definitely stocks to watch in the new year.
| # | Company | Symbol | Weight | Price | Chg | % Chg |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Apple Inc. | AAPL | 7.42% |  243.36 | -0.49 | (-0.20%) |
| 2 | Nvidia Corp | NVDA | 6.83% |  144.47 | 6.16 | (4.45%) |
| 3 | Microsoft Corp | MSFT | 6.26% | 423.35 | 4.77 | (1.14%) |
| 4 | Amazon.com Inc | AMZN | 4.15% | 224.19 | 3.97 | (1.80%) |
| 5 | Meta Platforms, Inc. Class A | META | 2.63% | 604.63 | 5.39 | (0.90%) |
| 6 | Alphabet Inc. Class A | GOOGL | 2.23% | 191.79 | 2.36 | (1.25%) |
| 7 | Broadcom Inc. | AVGO | 2.18% | 232.55 | 0.57 | (0.25%) |
| 8 | Tesla, Inc. | TSLA | 2.13% | 410.44 | 31.16 | (8.22%) |
| 9 | Alphabet Inc. Class C | GOOG | 1.83% | 193.13 | 2.50 | (1.31%) |
| 10 | Berkshire Hathaway Class B | BRK.B | 1.66% | 453.56 | 2.46 | (0.55%) |
Oil & Gas
Either by tactful negotiation or force of hand through denial of new funding, the new administration is in a good position to negotiate some sort of peace deal for Ukraine. Good or bad, this would mean the end of the Russian oil embargo. Europe would initially see the most relief as heating costs drop from the renewed supply. However, it won’t take long for OPEC to get prices stabilized again. Getting into oil stocks at the peak of supply would be good timing to catch the rise up.
Tesla (TSLA)
A better relationship with the US government is an understatement, but outside of that there are a few good reasons for TSLA to continue moving up:
– Although it had a late start, the Government EV Charging program took big steps in the second half of the year, giving over $500 Million in grants to build new charging stations, building the legitimacy of electric vehicles.
– Starlink currently has over 6,000 satellites orbiting the planet and is already licensed for over 12,000. Eventually they plan to have 42,000 satellites in their mega constellation. Although not directly related, Tesla stock prices have historically benefitted from accomplishments and growth from the satellite internet provider.
– SpaceX is emerging as the leader in rocket launches and rocket technology. Along with supporting Starlink, many companies are turning to them for space related activity. In 2024 SpaceX had 131 launches, accounting for more than half of all global launches. In the Fall of 2024, SpaceX utterly embarrassed one of their major competitors when they rescued two astronauts from a malfunctioning Boeing capsule, elevating the company to hero status in the eyes of the public. As above, TSLA stock price benefits from this goodwill.
