  Bram de Haas: To me it seems the sentiment around General Motors has never been very cheerful over the last few years. Here's this $54 billion company with cash flow from automotive operations of about $12 billion(projected for 2019). Free cash flow will likely be something like half that. I think CapEx is elevated. That's great in this market. What people don't realize is that Cruise, majority owned by GM, is a leader in autonomous. It is throwing a billion a year at this segment and there are no returns yet. Both SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBY) and Honda (HMC) are external investors which put the value of GM's stake at something like $11 billion. GM lagged the S&P 500 slightly year-to-date but since I've written it up in the Special Situations Report it outperformed both the S&P and First Trust NASDAQ Global Auto Index ETF (CARZ) by a wide margin. I also mentioned the possibility of shorting CARZ against GM because of the prevalent trade tariff concerns at the time. That would have worked out great.

  There were five key developments recently according to my view:

  Relief from the allegations of round-tripping and corruption by the publication of the investigation results of the independent law firm Rajah & Tann. Issuance of the auditor's certificate in the Annual Report. German market regulator files complaint against a dozen journalists, funds and investors on suspicion of market manipulation in Wirecard shares. Announcement of new business relations with companies from India and Singapore, which created trust for Wirecard's Asia business. Announcement of SoftBank's (OTCPK:SFTBF) (OTCPK:SFTBY) (potential) investment in Wirecard as proof of Wirecard's strong positioning in the area of digital payments (in Asia) and its future-oriented business model.

  1) Results of the investigations of Rajah & Tann

  Nordstrom (JWN) was down 8.5% after the department-store operator was downgraded to Underweight from Equal Weight at Morgan Stanley. Nordstrom stock dropped 18% on Wednesday after reporting earnings.

• [By ]

  Nordstrom (ticker: JWN) reported fiscal second-quarter earnings of 49 cents a share, ahead of consensus estimates at 27 cents a share, according to FactSet. Sales of $3.57 billion were up 101% from last year and above consensus estimates at $3.34 billion. Still, sales were down 6% from the same period in 2019, before the pandemic withered traffic counts in department stores.

• [By Dan Caplinger (TMFGalagan)]

  However, there were some hints of discontentment in the after-hours session, as a couple of retail stocks reported disappointing earnings results. Both Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) and Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ:URBN) lost ground, and what they said could cast a shadow over the idea that the vaccination-led economic recovery will inevitably produce strength across the retail industry.
