The emergence and the subsequent spread of the Delta variant of coronavirus saw the number of cases and hospitalizations rise sharply again in the United States. Places like Texas are the worst hit by the rapid spread of this more contagious strain of COVID-19. Naturally, this renewed surge in infection fueled fears that the economic recovery might be derailed. Evidently, retail sales in the United States dipped 1.1% in July, which is much worse than analysts’ expectations.
This highly transmittable strain not only spread in the United States, other countries like China are also reeling under the relapse of coronavirus cases. Added to the Delta-variant scare, there are other woes as well like the Taliban-induced tensions in Afghanistan.
Naturally, the headwinds are keeping investors on the edge. In this highly uncertain scenario, it is next to impossible for individual investors to design a winning portfolio of stocks without proper guidance.Given this backdrop, it is in the best interest of investors to seek guidance from “experts in the field.”

Advisors’ Opinion:

Shares of NetEase (NASDAQ:NTES) fell 11.4%% in February, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Despite positive momentum for Chinese tech stocks and the broader market, the online media company’s share price tumbled in the lead-up to its fourth-quarter earnings release.

Its live broadcasting revenue surged as it added more virtual gifts and premium content, the ad business benefited from more brand ads and the introduction of performance-based ads in the prior year quarter, and its e-commerce business — which was recently integrated into Alibaba’s Taobao marketplace — saw a spike in product sales. Bilibili’s recent acquisition of NetEase’s (NASDAQ:NTES) online comics business should further bolster its “other” revenue.

The stock market gave up ground on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling triple digits and other major market benchmarks following suit with declines of close to 0.5%. Investors seemed inclined to take their foot off the gas after the strong start to the year, as fears about possible deterioration in economic strength and the geopolitical climate weighed on sentiment. Bad news from some high-profile companies also hurt the overall market. Domino’s Pizza (NYSE:DPZ), Carbon Black (NASDAQ:CBLK), and NetEase (NASDAQ:NTES) were among the worst performers. Here’s why they did so poorly.

On the one hand it’s fundamentally worth much more than it currently trades for. There’s a clear buy-the-dip opportunity present. Of course, any investors who currently do so are certainly aware of the broader context of such an investment.

In April, Chinese regulators hit Alibaba with a record fine of $2.8 billion. The stock rallied 9.3% that day, in hopes that the worst was behind it. While there hasn’t been a lot of Alibaba-specific issues since, the fear from investors remains as the Chinese government continues to rail against tech in general. It’s impacted Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU), JD.com (NASDAQ:JD) and others too.
