Next year is poised to be a trading year that will bring tech investors an added dimension with the inclusion of Uber and Lyft to the public markets.
It seemed that everything that could have happened in 2018 happened.
Now, it’s time to bring you five companies that I believe could face a weak 2019.
Every rally should be met with a fresh wave of selling and one of these companies even has a good chance of not being around in 2020.
Western Digital (WDC)
I have been bearish on this company from the beginning of the Mad Hedge Technology Letter and this legacy firm is littered with numerous problems.
Western Digital’s structural story is broken at best.
They are in the business of selling hard disk drive products.
These products store data and have been around for a long time. Sure the technology has gotten better, but that does not mean the technology is more useful now.
The underlying issue with their business model is that companies are moving data and operations into cloud-based products like the Microsoft (MSFT) Azure and Amazon Web Services.
Why need a bulky hard drive to store stuff on when a cloud seamlessly connects with all devices and offers access to add-on tools that can boost efficiency and performance?
It’s a no-brainer for most companies and the efficiency effects are ratcheted up for large companies that can cohesively marry up all branches of the company onto one cloud system.
Even worse, (WDC) also manufactures the NAND chips that are placed in the hard drives.
NAND prices have faltered dropping 15% of late. NAND is like the ugly stepsister of DRAM whose large margins and higher demand insulate DRAM players who are dominated by Micron (MU), Samsung, and SK Hynix.
EPS is decelerating at a faster speed and quarterly sales revenue has plateaued.
Add this all up and you can understand why shares have halved this year and this was mainly a positive year for tech shares.
If there is a downtown next year in the broader market, watch out below as this company is first on the chopping block as well as its competitor Seagate Technology (STX).
Snapchat (SNAP)
This company must be the tech king of terrible business models out there.
Snapchat is part of an industry the whole western world is attempting to burn down.
Social media has gone for cute and lovable to destroy at all cost. The murky data-collecting antics social media companies deploy have regulators eyeing these companies daily.
More successful and profitable firm Facebook (FB) completely misunderstood the seriousness of regulation by pigeonholing it as a public relation slip-up instead of a full-blown crisis threatening American democracy.
Snapchat is presiding over falling daily active user growth at such an early stage that usership doesn’t even pass 100 million DAUs.
Management also alienated the core user base of adolescent-aged users by botching the redesign that resulted in users bailing out of Snapchat.
Snapchat has been losing high-level executives in spades and fired a good chunk of their software development team tagging them as the scapegoat that messed up the redesign.
Even more imminent, Snapchat is burning cash and could face a cash crunch in the middle of next year.
They just announced a new spectacle product placing two frontal cameras on the glass frame. Smells like desperation and that is because this company needs a miracle to turn things around.
If they hit the lottery, Snap could have an uptick in its prospects.
GameStop (GME)
This part of technology is hot, benefiting from a generational shift to playing video games.
Video games are now seen as a full-blown cash cow industry attracting gaming leagues where professional players taking in annual salaries of over $1 million.
Gaming is not going away but the method of which gaming is consumed is changing.
Gamers no longer venture out to the typical suburban mall to visit the local video games store.
The mushrooming of broad-band accessibility has migrated all games to direct downloads from the game manufacturers or gaming consoles’ official site.
The middleman has effectively been cut out.
That middleman is GameStop who will need to reinvent itself from a video game broker to something that can accrue real value in the video game world.
The long-term story is still intact for gaming manufactures of Activision (ATVI), EA Sports (EA), and Take-Two Interactive (TTWO).
The trio produces the highest quality American video games and has a broad portfolio of games that your kids know about.
GameStop’s annual revenue has been stagnant for the past four years.
It seems GameStop can’t find a way to boost its $9 billion of annual revenue and have been stuck on this number since 2015.
If you do wish to compare GameStop to a competitor, then they are up against Best Buy (BBY) which is a better and more efficiently run company.
Then if you have a yearning to buy video games from Best Buy, then you should ask yourself, why not just buy it from Amazon with 2-day free shipping as a prime member.
The silver lining of this business is that they have a nice niche collectibles division that hopes to deliver over $1 billion in annual sales next year growing at a 25% YOY clip.
But investors need to remember that this is mainly a trade-in used video game company.
Ultimately, the future looks bleak for GameStop in an era where the middleman has a direct path to the graveyard, and they have failed to digitize in an industry where digitization is at the forefront.
Blue Apron
This might be the company that is in most trouble on the list.
Active customers have fallen off a cliff declining by 25% so far in 2018.
Its third quarter earnings were nothing short of dreadful with revenue cratering 28% YOY to $150.6 million, missing estimates by $7 million.
The core business is disappearing like a Houdini act.
Revenue has been decelerating and the shrinking customer base is making the scope of the problem worse for management.
At first, Blue Apron basked in the glory of a first mover advantage and business was operating briskly.
But the lack of barriers to entry really hit the company between the eyes when Amazon (AMZN), Walmart (WMT), and Kroger (KR) rolled out their own version of the innovative meal kit.
Blue Apron recently announced it would lay off 4% of its workforce and its collaboration with big-box retailer Costco (COST) has been shelved indefinitely before the holiday season.
CFO of Blue Apron Tim Bensley forecasts that customers will continue to drop like flies in 2019.
The company has chosen to focus on higher-spending customers, meaning their total addressable market has been slashed and 2019 is shaping up to be a huge loss-making year for the company.
The change, in fact, has flustered investors and is a great explanation of why this stock is trading at $1.
The silver lining is that this stock can hardly trade any lower, but they have a mountain to climb along with strategic imperatives that must be immediately addressed as they descend into an existential crisis.
Intel (INTC)
This company is the best of the five so I am saving it for last.
Intel has fallen behind unable to keep up with upstart Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) led by stellar CEO Dr. Lisa Su.
Advanced Micro Devices is planning to launch a 7-nanometer CPU in the summer while Intel plans to roll out its next-generation 10-nanometer CPUs in early 2020.
The gulf is widening between the two with Advanced Micro Devices with the better technology.
As the new year inches closer, Intel will have a tough time beating last year's comps, and investors will need to reset expectations.
This year has really been a story of missteps for the chip titan.
Intel dealt with the specter security vulnerability that gave hackers access to private data but later fixed it.
Executive management problems haven’t helped at all.
Former CEO of Intel Brian Krzanich was fired soon after having an inappropriate relationship with an employee.
The company has been mired in R&D delays and engineering problems.
Dragging its feet could cause nightmares for its chip development for the long haul as they have lost significant market share to Advanced Micro Devices.
Then there is the general overhang of the trade war and Intel is one of the biggest earners on mainland China.
The tariff risk could hit the stock hard if the two sides get nasty with each other.
Then consider the chip sector is headed for a cyclical downturn which could dent the demand for Intel chip products.
The risks to this stock are endless and even though Intel registered a good earnings report last out, 2019 is set up with landmines galore.
If this stock treads water in 2019, I would call that a victory.

One of the fastest parts of technology growing at a rapid clip is fintech.
Fintech has taken the world by storm threatening the traditional banks.
Companies such as Square (SQ) and PayPal (PYPL) are great bets to outlast these dinosaurs who have a laser-like focus on technology to move the digital dollars in an efficient and low-cost way.
Another section of the technology movement that has caught my eye morphing by the day is the online food delivery segment that has soaring operating margins aiding Uber on their quest to go public next year.
There have been whispers that Uber could garner a $120 billion valuation dwarfing Chinese tech giant Alibaba’s (BABA) IPO which was the biggest IPO to date at $25 billion.
Uber is following in Amazon’s footsteps executing the “blitzscaling” method to suppress competition.
This strategy involves scaling up as quick as possible and seizing market share before anyone can figure out what happened.
The growth explodes at such speed that investors pile in droves throwing inefficient capital at the business leading the company to make bold bets even though profit is nowhere to be seen.
Blitzscaling has fueled American and Chinese tech to the top of the global tech charts and the trade war is mainly about these two titans jousting for first and second place in a real-time blitzscale battle of epic proportion.
The audacious stabs at new businesses usually end up fizzling out, but the ones that do have the potential to blaze a trail to profitability.
One business that has Uber giving hope of one day returning capital to shareholders is Uber Eats – the online food delivery service.
Total sales of restaurant deliveries will hit 11% of revenue if the current trend continues in 2022 marking a giant shift in consumer attitudes.
No longer are people eating out at restaurants, according to data, younger generations view ordering from an online food delivery platform as a direct substitute.
This mindset is eerily similar to Millennials attitude towards entertainment.
For many, Netflix (NFLX) is considered a better option than attending a movie theatre, and all forms of outdoor entertainment are under direct attack from these online substitutes.
One firm on the forefront of this movement has been Domino’s Pizza (DPZ).
You’d be surprised to find out that over half of the Domino’s Pizza staff are software developers.
They have focused on the customer experience doubling down on their online platform to offer the easiest way to order a pizza.
In 2012, the company was frightened to death that it still took a 25-step process to order a pizza.
By 2016, Domino’s rolled out “zero-click ordering” offering 15 different ways to order their product across many major platforms including Amazon’s Alexa.
This has all led to 60% of sales coming from online and rising.
The consistency, efficiency, and seamless online payment process has all helped Dominoes stock rise over 800% since May 2012 and that is even with this recent brutal sell-off.
Uber is perfectly positioned to take advantage of this new generation of dining in.
In the third quarter, Uber booked $2.1 billion of gross booking volume in their powerful online food delivery service.
The 150% YOY rise makes Uber Eats a force to be reckoned with.
Uber’s investment into e-scooters and bike transportation stems from the potential synergies of online food delivery efficiency.
It’s cheaper to deliver pizzas on a bicycle or anything without an internal combustion engine.
If you ever go to China, the electric powered three-wheel modified tuk-tuk with a storage compartment in the back instead of passenger seating is pervasive.
Often navigating around narrow alleyways is inefficient for a four-wheel automobile, and as Uber sets its sights on being the go-to last mile deliverer of food and whatnot, building out this vibrant transport network is vital to its long-term vision.
In fact, Uber is not an online ride-sharing platform, it will be something grander and its Uber elevate division could showcase Uber’s adaptability by making air transport cheap for the masses.
As soon as the robo-taxi industry gathers steam, Uber will ditch human drivers for self-driving technology saving billions in labor costs.
As it stands, Uber keeps cutting the incentive to drive for them with rates falling to as low as an average of $10 per hour now.
The golden age of being an Uber driver is long gone.
Uber is merely gathering enough data to prepare for the mass roll-out of automated cars that will shuttle passengers from point A to B.
It doesn’t matter that Lyft has gained market share from Uber. Lyft’s market share was in the teens a few years ago and has rocketed to 31% taking advantage of management problems over at Uber to wriggle its way to relevancy.
It does not reveal how poor of a company Uber is, but it demonstrates that Uber’s network is spread over different industries and the sum of the parts is a lot greater than Lyft can fathom.
Lyft is a pure ride-share company and brings in annual revenue that is 4 times less than Uber.
Naturally, Uber loses a lot more money than Lyft because they have so many irons in the fire.
But even a single iron could be a unicorn in its own right.
CEO Dara Khosrowshahi recently talked about its Uber Eats division in glowing terms and emphasized that over 70% of the American population will have access to Uber Eats by the end of next year.
Uber’s position in the American economy as a pure next-generation tech business reverberates with its investors causing Khosrowshahi to brazenly admit that Uber “suffers from having too much opportunity as a company.”
Ultimately, the amped-up growth of the food delivery unit feeds back into its ride-sharing division. These types of synergies from Uber’s massive network effect is what management desires and dovetails nicely together.
In 2018 alone, 40% of Uber Eat’s customers were first-time samplers.
A good portion of these customers have never tried Uber’s ride-sharing service and when they travel for business or leisure, they later adopt the ride-sharing platform leading to more Uber converts.
Uber Freight has enabled truckers to push a button and book a load at an upfront price revolutionizing the process.
The online food delivery service is the place to be right now and it would be worth your while to look at GrubHub (GRUB).
Quarterly sales are growing over 50% and quarterly EPS growth was 61% sequentially for this industry leader.
Profit Margins are in the mid-20% convincingly proving that the food delivery industry will not be relying on razor-thin margins.
Charging diners $5 for delivery and taking a cut from the restaurateurs have been a winning strategy that will resonate further as more diners choose to munch in the cozy confines of their house.
Blitzscaling has led Uber to the online food delivery business and they are pouring resources into it to juice up profits before they go public next year.
The ride-sharing business is a loss-making enterprise as of now, and Uber will need to exhibit additional ingenuity to leverage the existing network to find strong pockets of revenue.
I believe they have the talent on their books to achieve finding these strong pockets making this company an intriguing stock to buy in 2019.
(THE MARKET OUTLOOK FOR THE WEEK AHEAD, or MASS EVACUATION)
(SPY), (WMT), (NVDA), (EEM), (FCX), (AMZN), (AAPL), (FCX), (USO), (TLT), (TSLA), (CRM), (SQ)
I will be evacuating the City of San Francisco upon the completion of this newsletter.
The smoke from the wildfires has rendered the air here so thick that it has become unbreathable. It reminds me of the smog in Los Angeles I endured during the 1960s before all the environmental regulation kicked in. All Bay Area schools are now closed and anyone who gets out of town will do so.
There has been a mass evacuation going on of a different sort and that has been investors fleeing the stock market. Twice last week we saw major swoons, one for 900 points and another for 600. Look at your daily bar chart for the year and the bars are tiny until October when they suddenly become huge. It’s really quite impressive.
Concerns for stocks are mounting everywhere. Big chunks of the economy are already in recession, including autos, real estate, semiconductors, agricultural, and banking. The FANGs provided the sole support in the market….until they didn’t. Most are down 30% from their tops, or more.
In fact, the charts show that we may have forged an inverse head and shoulders for the (SPY) last week, presaging greater gains in the weeks ahead.
The timeframe for the post-midterm election yearend rally is getting shorter by the day. What’s the worst case scenario? That we get a sideways range trade instead which, by the way, we are perfectly positioned to capture with our model trading portfolio.
There are a lot of hopes hanging on the November 29 G-20 Summit which could hatch a surprise China trade deal when the leaders of the two great countries meet. Daily leaks are hitting the markets that something might be in the works. In the old days, I used to attend every one of these until they got boring.
You’ll know when a deal is about to get done with China when hardline trade advisor Peter Navarro suddenly and out of the blue gets fired. That would be worth 1,000 Dow points alone.
It was a week when the good were punished and the bad were taken out and shot. Wal-Mart (WMT) saw a 4% hickey after a fabulous earnings report. NVIDIA (NVDA) was drawn and quartered with a 20% plunge after they disappointed only slightly because their crypto mining business fell off, thanks to the Bitcoin crash.
Apple (AAPL) fell $39 from its October highs, on a report that demand for facial recognition chips is fading, evaporating $170 billion in market capitalization. Some technology stocks have fallen so much they already have the next recession baked in the price. That makes them a steal at present levels for long term players.
The US dollar surged to an 18-month high. Look for more gains with interest rates hikes continuing unabated. Avoid emerging markets (EEM) and commodities (FCX) like the plague.
After a two-year search, Amazon (AMZN) picked New York and Virginia for HQ 2 and 3 in a prelude to the breakup of the once trillion-dollar company. The stock held up well in the wake of another administration antitrust attack.
Oil crashed too, hitting a lowly $55 a barrel, on oversupply concerns. What else would you expect with China slowing down, the world’s largest marginal new buyer of Texas tea? Are all these crashes telling us we are already in a recession or is it just the Fed’s shrinkage of the money supply?
The British government seemed on the verge of collapse over a Brexit battle taking the stuffing out of the pound. A new election could be imminent. I never thought Brexit would happen. It would mean Britain committing economic suicide.
US Retails Sales soared in October, up a red hot 0.8% versus 0.5% expected, proving that the main economy remains strong. Don’t tell the stock market or oil which think we are already in recession.
My year-to-date performance rocketed to a new all-time high of +33.71%, and my trailing one-year return stands at 35.89%. November so far stands at +4.08%. And this is against a Dow Average that is up a miniscule 2.41% so far in 2018.
My nine-year return ballooned to 310.18%. The average annualized return stands at 34.46%. 2018 is turning into a perfect trading year for me, as I’m sure it is for you.
I used every stock market meltdown to add aggressively to my December long positions, betting that share prices go up, sideways, or down small by then.
The new names I picked up this week include Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Salesforce (CRM), NVIDIA (NVDA), Square (SQ), and a short position in Tesla (TSLA). I also doubled up my short position in the United States US Treasury Bond Fund (TLT).
I caught the absolute bottom after the October meltdown. Will lightning strike twice in the same place? One can only hope. One hedge fund friend said I was up so much this year it would be stupid NOT to bet big now.
The Mad Hedge Technology Letter is really shooting the lights out the month, up 8.63%. It picked up Salesforce (CRM), NVIDIA (NVDA), Square (SQ), and Apple (AAPL) last week, all right at market bottoms.
The coming week will be all about October housing data which everyone is expecting to be weak.
Monday, November 19 at 10:00 EST, the Home Builders Index will be out. Will the rot continue? I’ll be condo shopping in Reno this weekend to see how much of the next recession is already priced in.
On Tuesday, November 20 at 8:30 AM, October Housing Starts and Building Permits are released.
On Wednesday, November 21 at 10:00 AM, October Existing Home Sales are published.
At 10:30 AM, the Energy Information Administration announces oil inventory figures with its Petroleum Status Report.
Thursday, November 22, all market will be closed for Thanksgiving Day.
On Friday, November 23, the stock market will be open only for a half day, closing at 1:00 PM EST. Second string trading will be desultory, and low volume.
The Baker-Hughes Rig Count follows at 1:00 PM.
As for me, I'd be roaming the High Sierras along the Eastern shore of Lake Tahoe looking for a couple of good Christmas trees to chop down. I have two US Forest Service permits in hand at $10 each, so everything will be legit.
Good luck and good trading.

That is exactly what management of a fast-growing tech company doesn’t want to hear.
Losing money isn’t fun. And investors only put up with it because of the juicy growth trajectories management promises.
Without the expectations of hard-charging growth, there is no attractive story in a world where investors need stories to rally behind.
Setting the bar astronomically high in the approach to management’s execution and product development will always be, the single most important element in a tech company.
This is the secret recipe for thwarting entropy and rising above the rest.
You might be shocked to find out that most tech firms die a harrowing death, the average Joe wouldn’t know that, with constant headlines glorifying our tech dignitaries.
Just look at the pageantry on display that was Amazon’s (AMZN) quest to find a second headquarter.
According to Apex Marketing, the hoopla that coalesced around Amazon’s year-long search netted Amazon $42 million in free advertising by tracking the absorbed inventory of exposure from print, TV, and online.
Social media traffic by itself rung up $8.6 million of freebies.
These days, tech really does sell itself, and I didn’t even mention the billions in tax breaks Amazon will harvest from their Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory style headquarter search.
The only thing I would have changed would have been extending the contest into the second year.
Amazon’s brand is probably the most powerful in the world, and that is not because they are in the business of only selling chocolate bars.
One company that might as well sell chocolate bars and has been stymied by the throes of entropy is TiVo (TIVO).
TiVo was once the darling of the technology world.
It was way back in 1999 when TiVo premiered the digital video recorder (DVR).
It modernized how television was consumed in a blink of an eye.
Broad-based adoption and outstanding product feedback were the beginning of a long love affair with diehard users wooed by the superior functionality of TiVo that allowed customers to record full seasons of television shows, and, the cherry on top, fast-forward briskly through annoying commercials.
The technology was certainly ahead of its time and TiVo had its cake and ate it for years.
The stock price, in turn, responded kindly and TiVo was trading at over $106 in August of 2000 before the dot com crash.
That was the high-water mark and the stock has never performed the same after that.
TiVo’s cataclysmic decline can be traced back to the roots of the late 90’s when a small up and coming tech company called Netflix (NFLX) quickly pivoted from mailing DVD’s to producing proprietary online streaming content.
Arrogant and set in their old ways, TiVo failed to capture the tectonic shift from analog television viewers cutting the cord and migrating towards online streaming services.
Consumer’s viewing habits modernized, and TiVo never developed another game-changing product to counteract the death of a thousand cuts to traditional television and its TiVo box that is still ongoing as I write this.
Like a sitting duck, Charter Communications (CHTR) and Dish Network (DISH) devoured TiVo’s market share in the traditional television segment constructing DVR’s for their own cable service.
And instead of licensing their technology before their enemies could build an in-house substitute, TiVo chose to sue them after the fact, resulting in a one-time payment, but still meant that TiVo was bleeding to death.
Enter Project Griffin.
Netflix (NFLX) spent years developing Project Griffin, an over-the-top (OTT) TV box that would host its future entertainment content and poured a bucket full of capital into the software and hardware of this revolutionary product.
Making the leap of faith from the traditional DVD-by-mail distribution model that would soon be swept into the dustbin of history was an audacious bet that looks even better with each passing year.
This Netflix branded OTT box was specifically manufactured for Netflix’s Watch Instantly video service.
In 2007, Netflix was just week’s away from rolling out the hardware from Project Griffin when CEO of Netflix Reed Hastings decided to trash the project.
His reason was that a branded Netflix box would hinder the software streaming content confining their growth trajectory to only their stand-alone platform.
This would prevent their streaming service to populate on other networks.
To avoid discriminating against certain networks was a genius move allowing Netflix to license digital content to anyone with a broadband connection, and giving them chance to make deals with other companies who had their own box.
It was the defining moment of Netflix that nobody knows about.
Netflix became ubiquitous in many Millennial households and Roku (ROKU) was spun-out literally bestowing new CEO of Roku Anthony Woods with a de-facto company-in-a-box to build on thanks to old boss Reed Hastings.
Woods cut his teeth borrowing TiVo’s technology and developed the digital video recorder (DVR) as the founder of ReplayTV before he joined Netflix and was the team leader of Project Griffin.
Now, he had a golden opportunity dropped into his lap and Woods ran with it.
Woods quickly became aware that hardware wasn’t the future of technology and switched to a digital ad-based platform model allowing any and all streaming services to launch from the Roku box.
No doubt Woods understood the benefits of being an open platform and not playing favorites to certain networks in a landscape where Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOGL), Facebook (FB), and Amazon have made “walled gardens” an important part of their DNA.
Democratizing its platform was in effect what the internet and technology were supposed to be from the onset and Roku has excavated value from this premise by playing nice with everyone.
This also meant scooping up all the ad dollars from everyone too.
At the same time, Wood’s mentor Hastings has rewritten the rules of the media industry parting the sea for Roku to mop up and dominate the OTT box industry with Amazon and Apple trailing behind.
Roku was perfectly positioned with a superior finished product, but also took note of the future and zigged and zagged when they needed to which is why ad sales have surpassed their hardware sales.
By 2021, over 50 million Americans will say adios to cable and satellite TV.
The addressable digital ad market is a growing $80 billion per year market and Roku will have a more than fair shot to secure larger market share.
The rock-solid foundations and handsome growth story are why the Mad Hedge Technology Letter is resolutely bullish on Roku and Netflix.
Roku and Netflix have continued to evolve with the times and TiVo is now desperately attempting to sell the remains of itself before the vultures feast on their corpse.
What is left is a portfolio of IP assets that brought in $826 million in 2017, and they have exited the hardware business entirely halting production of the iconic TiVo box.
Digesting 100% parabolic moves up in the share price is a great problem to have for Roku and Netflix.
These two are set to lead the online streaming universe and stoked by robust momentum to go with it.
The Mad Hedge Technology Letter currently holds a Roku December 2018 $30-$35 in-the-money vertical bull call spread bought at $4.35, and it is just the first of many tech trade alerts that will be connected to the rapidly advancing online streaming industry.
