The political gridlock over the debt ceiling remains stuck, as June 1 deadline approaches rapidly. While President Joe Biden and House Republicans remained far apart after their hour-long meeting on the debt ceiling in the Oval Office, both sides said they made progress. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said there was “now a better process” overall. The multilateral debt limit negotiations will continue with direct one-to-one talks between close allies of McCarthy and two White House aides. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned that “time is running out” to avoid an economic catastrophe from failing to strike a deal. But Wall Street isn’t panicking yet. Analysts doubt that there will be a default because of how costly it would be to the country. But the risks begin to rise for every day there’s no deal up to June 1st deadline. - “Since both sides know what is at stake, default is improbable,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. “However, every day closer to the Treasury’s June 1 deadline without a resolution will likely elevate volatility in markets, trim demand for US risk assets, and even expedite recession.” The sentiment among fund managers has worsened to the most bearish this year. Bank of America’s pool said 65% of the survey participants expect a weaker economy ahead. Thomas Barkin, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, said he wouldn’t hesitate to hike rates if inflation remains stubborn: - “If inflation persists, or God forbid accelerates, there’s no barrier in my mind to further increases in rates,” said Barkin. Thomas Barkin, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (Photo: Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond) Barkin also said that he would support a “steady” strategy, so it would “lessen the damage of any potential overcorrection”. But he thinks there is no reason for the central bank to shift its strategy with financial stability in mind: - “It is not obvious to me that there is a financial stability challenge of having a higher rate path ... I don’t see the urgency of making a different decision because of financial stability risks.” Raphael Bostic, president of the Atlanta Fed, said he is leaning toward a pause in rate hikes. But he doesn’t expect inflation to come down quickly. So, he would prefer to wait and see how previous rate hikes would affect the economy before deciding whether to do another hike or not. - “I’m expecting inflation to continue its steady decline [but] I don’t think it’s going to be a very fast decline, and that is one of the reasons why I want to wait and see and get a sense of how quickly the economy is responding,” Bostic said. Elon Musk predicts a recession over the next 12 months before the economy picks up again. He warned that many companies will go bankrupt, but Tesla is well-positioned to reap the rewards once things turn around. Musk also predicted that the Tesla Model Y would be “the number one best-selling car on Earth this year.” And guess what? Musk said Tesla will finally deliver Cybertrucks later this year. He said it would be the vehicle he drives on a daily basis, and it can be converted into an RV or a camper. Love 15%+ Growth With Small Risk? Buy This Stock Today’s Stock Pick: The Chefs' Warehouse, Inc ([CHEF](~/AASl5QA~/RgRmRyr4P0SfaHR0cHM6Ly9kYXNoYm9hcmQudHJhZGVhbGdvLmNvbS9jb21wYW55L0NIRUY_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1LbGF2aXlvJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09Y2FtcGFpZ24mX2t4PVRKRngtMDZyYnh4NlVhSmNfTGdfamhITGhocjZrMjBsWlVWUnV1ZE84QkFHVzZXNVpZUWtaTDhJT1paT2ZBVG8uVzVwQVpXVwNzcGNCCmRi-KVkZHCdn3FSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg4QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAQLVg~~)) Running an independent, menu-driven restaurant demands special foods to make their dishes unique and more delicious than your regular, chain restaurant. That’s where The Chefs’ Warehouse comes into the picture. The company is a specialty food and center-of-the-plate product distributor, which it meets the unique demands with a range of specialty foods that includes about 50,000 stock-keeping units. Many of them are rare and unique. - For example, these include handmade charcuterie, gourmet cheeses, uncommon oils and vinegar, truffles, caviar, chocolate, and pastry goods. The Chefs’ Warehouse also offers custom-cut beef, shellfish, hormone-free chicken, and food items like cooking oils, butter, eggs, milk, and flour. Highly fragmented: Specialty food distribution is highly fragmented with CHEF holding the position as the number one national competitor. This brings tremendous opportunity for acquisitions to consolidate the industry and creates a clear revenue growth path. How big is the opportunity? CHEF’s LTM Q3 2022 net sales of $2.38 billion represent about 10% of the company’s target market. This is far from a saturation point, as CHEF can easily grow its revenue by acquiring and increasing its share. (Source: The Chefs’ Warehouse) Diversified customer base: The best thing about CHEF is that its top 10 customers account for less than 6% of net sales for LTM Q3 2022. In fact, it has more than 40,000 unique customer locations. If a restaurant chooses another supplier, it wouldn’t deliver a blow to CHEF’s business. As proof of the quality of its products, CHEF has some of the most exclusive customers. It serves Four Seasons, The Ritz-Carlton, JEAN-GEORGES, The Culinary Institute of America, Cipollini, and so on. (Source: The Chefs’ Warehouse) Critical Route-To-Market For Specialty Suppliers: CHEF has built an incredible flywheel in its business. The more restaurant customers it acquires, the more suppliers want to work with CHEF. And because CHEF has top suppliers, more restaurants want to work with CHEF. The company sources more than 2,500 different suppliers across the globe, and some of them are hard-to-get and exclusive. If a supplier wants to crack the restaurant market, the best (and the fastest) route may be through The Chefs’ Warehouse’s network of restaurants. Now, let’s talk numbers… CHEF sees a clear path of acquiring 4% to 6% revenue growth through organic and another 5% to 10% through acquisitions. That isn’t a big challenge, right? And it expects to earn $4 billion in revenue for the next 2 to 3 years. That would represent about 58% growth from 2022’s guidance (which it hasn’t announced the year-end results) to the end of the 3rd year. (Source: The Chefs’ Warehouse) New guidance: The company recently announced revenue guidance of $2.85 billion and $2.95 billion. That would about 16% in revenue growth from its estimated 2022 revenue. That would be a rock-solid growth. Bottom line: The Chefs’ Warehouse’s diversified customer base makes it less volatile to any economic cycle. Because of how fragmented the industry is, CHEF has a clear path to grow its revenue steadily through acquisitions. If you have cash that you absolutely want to protect from any shock, CHEF offers an above-average growth with lower risk. FREE LIVE TRADING SESSIONS & TRAINING USING THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE DARK POOL MONITOR AVAILABLE TO THE RETAIL INVESTOR Join our LIVE Trading Sessions throughout the day where we will focus on how you can learn to master the markets through the use of advanced algorithms and AI to trade like the institutions. BEFORE THE BELL Starts 6am PT / 9am ET Our newest LIVE session starts when the big institutions and elite traders do, well before the market opens. We'll look at realtime dark pool data as the market movers position themselves for the tra ding day in the secret off market exchanges. LIVE TRADING SESSION Starts 8am PT / 11am ET Take advantage of Trade Algo's proprietary advanced algorithms for anticipating big market swings in our daily LIVE trading session. Trade Algo's Senior Analyst Luke Russell will walk you through the key tools and strategies that the institutional investors and top traders use to profit from high volatility in the market. THE FINAL HOUR Starts Noon PT / 3pm ET According to Wall Street Journal approximately 20% of the trading volume happens at the last 30 minutes of the day. Institutions make the majority of these trades in private dark pool exchanges -- away from the public’s eyes. The timing happens for two reasons: 1) Index funds make their trades to mimic the closing price of a stock. 2) Billionaires trade near the end of the day because they anticipate major news that will be released during after-hours. Because they trade in dark pools, the public doesn’t know about these trades until one day later. We’ve consistently spotted the correlation between a spike in dark pool volume at the end of the day and the next day’s price movement. In the Golden Hour we will identify and analyze these movements so you can trade with confidence. CATCH THE SPARK Starts 4pm PT / 7pm ET Catch The Spark is led by trading expert Luke Russell, starting at 4pm PT / 7pm ET. Open to all this session is a recap of the day and a prep for the next trading day with an emphasis on identifying and examining "spark" orders, those large institutional trades taking place behind closed doors in off-market exchanges, that drive stock movement. Bring the stock or options trade you've been waiting to make and we'll show you the information the hedge-funds, big institutions and top traders use to evaluate and time the trade. [REGISTER NOW!
