This Sector’s Collapse Could Lead You to 350% Returns
Last week, I showed you how the semiconductor industry can predict what’ll happen next in the U.S. economy.
And based on what it’s indicating, the future is anything but promising.
In today’s video, I’m doubling down on this forecast with a new trade…
Because my proprietary hiring data is proving what’s going on out there.
This Sector’s Collapse Could Lead You to 350% Returns
It’s only been a week since I told you about the collapse in semiconductor activity.
But what a week it’s been:
- Semiconductor company NVIDIA (Nasdaq: NVIDIA) just announced that revenues from its gaming sector — its bread and butter — fell thirty-three percent.
- Chip shipments in Q2 dropped at their fastest pace since 1984.
- Research company Gartner cut its 2022 second-half growth forecasts in half. Furthermore, it said that, after twenty-six percent growth last year, 2023 would see a three-percent contraction.
What is going on here?
Hiring Takes a Dive
The outlook for semiconductor companies has fallen off a cliff.
And now we’re seeing new evidence of this based on these companies’ hiring activity.
Let me show you.
Here’s hiring for Intel (Nasdaq: INTC):
Look how steep the drop-off is. This company is in full-blown panic mode.
Things are similar for Advanced Micro Devices (Nasdaq: AMD):
And ditto for Marvell Technology (Nasdaq: MRVL), which produces custom chips:
And ditto again for Nvidia:
The thing is, this hiring pullback isn’t just happening for semiconductor manufacturers…
Deeper Concerns for the Entire Industry
Companies that make the equipment for manufacturing semiconductors are contracting, too. For example:
KLA (Nasdaq: KLAC) is slowing its hiring:
So is Applied Materials (Nasdaq: AMAT):
Folks, this is very important data:
While semi companies like Nvidia are responding to demand for chips in the short-term…
Semi equipment companies have a longer-term perspective. That’s because their equipment takes about a year to be ordered, installed, and ready for production.
So when hiring in semi equipment companies slides, that means they’re expecting weak demand for at least a year, and maybe far longer.
Other analysts don’t track this hiring data. But I do. And now you know about it.
So, what should we do with this information?
An Opportunity for 350% Returns
A handful of companies in the sector haven’t “gotten the memo” yet about hiring drop-offs.
The first is Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM):
Its hiring levels are still steady.
It’s the same story with Texas Instruments (Nasdaq: TXN):
Meanwhile, shares of NVIDIA and Micron Technology (Nasdaq: MU) barely budged after these companies released bad news.
Basically, the stock prices of several semi companies don’t reflect the coming collapse.
And that’s where investors like us can take advantage.
If you’re a “Pro” subscriber, I’ll share details on how to make the most of this situation…
And potentially rack up potential gains of more than 350%.
In the meantime, Zatlin out. Talk to you soon.
