When I called the dealer, <br \/><br \/>I was told that demand was so high and inventories were so limited that I couldn&#8217;t place an order.<\/span><\/p><p>With growing auto prices and a scarcity of vehicles, I am not alone. I&#8217;ll just have to wait if I don&#8217;t want to pay more than MSRP on the secondary market. <br \/><br \/>Meanwhile, I&#8217;ll do what millions of other Americans will do: &#8220;Fix it, wear it out, make do, or do without.&#8221;<\/p><p>The simple fact is that vehicle supplies, maintenance, and equipment will remain in high demand, making auto sales a bull market in and of itself.<\/p><p>We favor AutoZone Inc. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/finance\/quote\/AZO:NYSE?hl=en\">AZO<\/a>) as a method to capitalize on the issues that automakers (and their customers) are facing. We believe that buying AZO on the dips is profitable until automaker supply constraints ease.<\/p><p>Don&#8217;t be put off by the company&#8217;s expensive price; you can acquire partial shares and still profit when the stock rises.<br \/><br \/><strong style=\"font-size: 24.5px; font-family: inherit;\">The Charles Schwab Corp.<br \/><br \/><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Are you aware that your <\/span><a style=\"font-family: inherit;\" href=\"https:\/\/centerpointsecurities.com\/how-zero-commission-brokers-make-money\/#:~:text=Brokers%20would%20collect%20margin%20interest,savings%20accounts%20and%20credit%20cards.\">broker earns money from you through methods other than commissions<\/a><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">? <br \/><br \/>They aren&#8217;t always upfront about the profits they make off of you, but in most situations, these profits are linked to interest rates.<\/span><\/p><p>As interest rates rise, net margins expand, sending earnings higher. <br \/><br \/>Payment for order volume, margin interest, and share lending are some of the ways that brokerages like Robinhood Markets Inc. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/finance\/quote\/HOOD:NASDAQ?hl=en\">HOOD<\/a>) can stay in business despite not collecting commissions.<\/p><p>If you have a margin account, for example, your broker can &#8220;borrow&#8221; your shares and lend them to short-sellers. <br \/><br \/>They do not pay you for this access, but they do charge interest on the margin used by the short seller to hold their position. <br \/><br \/>The greater the rise in interest rates, the greater the profit margin for brokers.<\/p><p>While all of these income strategies are detrimental to a broker&#8217;s consumers, they are beneficial to the broker&#8217;s stockholders. <br \/><br \/>We favor Charles Schwab Corp. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/finance\/quote\/SCHW:NYSE?hl=en\">SCHW<\/a>) in that sector. It may look like a dog right now, but that is usual in downturn markets.<\/p><p>If interest rates continue high and market circumstances stabilize (or, dare we hope, improve&#8230;), SCHW should rise dramatically. Schwab has been accumulating customers through acquisitions, giving them the scale to increase their earnings once the market settles and trading balances rise again.<\/p><p>SCHW has decreased somewhat year to date, but this positions it at a more cheap discount right now.<br \/><br \/><strong style=\"font-size: 24.5px; font-family: inherit;\">Costco Wholesale Corp.<br \/><br \/><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">A rising dollar is a major issue for large corporations, particularly technology firms because profits earned outside the United States are transformed back into fewer, stronger dollars. <br \/><br \/>However, what if a major portion of your revenue is derived from imported goods that are less expensive in stronger dollar terms?<\/span><\/p><p>We still prefer the discount-retail space because of the strong dollar. We believe that consumer spending concerns have been exaggerated. <br \/><br \/>As long as hiring stays healthy, spending should climb, putting retail enterprises in a good position to benefit from a high dollar.<\/p><p>The fundamentals of Costco Wholesale Corp. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/finance\/quote\/COST:NASDAQ?hl=en\">COST<\/a>) appear to be sound, and the concerns about pinching margins should be mitigated in the short run by the company&#8217;s benefits from a high dollar. <br \/><br \/>We believe that purchasing this deeply discounted deep-discount on the dips makes sense.<br \/><br \/><strong style=\"font-size: 24.5px; font-family: inherit;\">Starbucks Corp.<br \/><br \/><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Retail services stocks are not immune to inflationary pressures, but some companies have devised tactics to combat it.<\/span><\/p><p>Starbucks, for example, routinely contends with inflation-deflation cycles in their raw supplies (coffee beans). Coffee prices increased 100% from the bottom of the pandemic bear market to the crest at the end of 2021, while Starbucks Corp. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/finance\/quote\/SBUX:NASDAQ?hl=en\">SBUX<\/a>) shares increased 89%.<\/p><p>Starbucks is currently approaching its peak from earlier this year, but it&#8217;s still roughly 8% cheaper &#8211; making now a fantastic time to buy shares.<\/p><p>SBUX must deal with general inflation rather than merely rising coffee prices. <br \/><br \/>However, the point is that the corporation is already adept at maintaining pricing stability. As a result, we expect SBUX to continue above its lows and recover in the short run as long as consumer spending stays healthy.<br \/><br \/><strong style=\"font-size: 24.5px; font-family: inherit;\">Waste Management Inc.<br \/><br \/><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">In a volatile market, it usually makes sense to concentrate on defensive, dividend-paying equities. <br \/><br \/>That is still true today, but when interest rates and inflation rise, typical dividend schemes are less effective. <br \/><br \/>When interest rates rise, future dividends lose value because the present value of those income streams decreases.<\/span><\/p><p>However, if a corporation has a defensible near-monopoly on its client base, favorable margin trends, and a history of raising dividends above inflation rates, the traditional principles may still apply in an inflationary market. <br \/><br \/>Waste Management is precisely such a type of business.<\/p><p>Waste Management&#8217;s (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/finance\/quote\/WM:NYSE?hl=en\">WM<\/a>) attempts to extract energy and byproducts from garbage collection and landfills are just two instances of how the company is trying to boost cash flows in order to maintain a high dividend payment ratio and yield above inflation. <br \/><br \/>We expect value investors will flood into the company&#8217;s shares in the short run as the pool of dividend stocks diminishes.<\/p><p><em>For More Stocks And Investment Related News, Click\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tradersontrend.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/tradersontrend.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1672304523139000&amp;usg=AOvVaw39QVrdTL0cir8CkX9odJSJ\">Here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The six days between Christmas and New Year&#8217;s are notoriously slow, so here we have 5 fantastic stocks to break the lull.
