When investing, it can be hard to choose which stocks to avoid and which to consider, especially when you are trying to gain exposure to a specific sector. In the latest edition of <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/videos/series/good-buy-goodbye/">Good Buy or Goodbye</a>, F/m Investments Senior Portfolio Manager Don Nesbitt shares his stock that could fly and which could face turbulence in the aerospace industry. 
Nesbitt likes Northrop Grumman (<a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NOC?.tsrc=fin-srch">NOC</a>) for its "consistent earnings and sales growth." He also says the company has a strong order backlog and uses free cash flow to return cash to shareholders. He also thinks it has an attractive valuation. Nesbitt cautions, however, that the company risks facing an over-reliance on US government contracts. 
Nesbitt is less of a fan of Boeing (<a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BA?.tsrc=fin-srch">BA</a>). His first concern, which is a short-term one, is the uncertainty surrounding who will be leading the company after CEO Dave Calhoun<a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/boeing-ceo-dave-calhoun-to-step-down-amid-737-max-troubles-120606197.html"> steps down</a> at the end of the year.

As earnings season continues to unfold, over 80% of S&P 500 (<a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EGSPC?.tsrc=fin-srch">^GSPC</a>) companies have now released their first-quarter results.

Krisiloff acknowledges the first quarter earnings season has been stronger than expected, with consumers demonstrating resilience in the face of economic headwinds. However, a major theme that has emerged throughout the earnings reports is the crucial role of AI. Krisiloff notes<a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/video/big-tech-ai-impacted-earnings-220340061.html"> that the tech companies with significant AI plays "are in one bucket,"</a> while the rest of the Fortune 500 corporations "very interested" in AI's potential to drive business growth and enhance their operations.
He also notes how companies discussed how power-hungry AI systems are. "I think what we're seeing with AI is that it's this massive tool that's being built for humanity that has the potential to multiply economic output to levels that we haven't seen before, but, in order to do that, it's very energy-intensive," Krisiloff explains.

How AI is impacting Q1 earnings

As inflationary pressures mount, consumer spending has shown signs of slowing, with fast-food and fast-casual dining chains feeling the pinch. Joining Market Domination to discuss the importance of value within the restaurant industry are Bernstein Senior Analyst for U.S. Restaurants Danilo Gargiulo and UBS Executive Director of Equity Research Dennis Geiger.
Gargiulo acknowledges that attracting customers has become "incrementally harder," with "traffic slowing down across the entire industry." He emphasizes that chains need to "be mindful" of ensuring value is a core component of their offerings. However, for giants like McDonald's (<a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/MCD?.tsrc=fin-srch">MCD</a>), which operate under a franchise model, the question of profitability for individual franchisees and aligning their interests arises.
Geiger echoes the sentiment, noting "an industry slowdown" within the quick-service restaurant and fast-food sectors. He attributes this trend to a variety of factors, including price increases, the broader inflationary environment, and even tightening consumer budgets. Regardless of the root causes, Geiger asserts that "there's softness" in consumer demand, particularly among lower-income consumers.

政府全面撤辣後，樓市交投變得很暢旺，但最近還有另一個議題，也大家很關注的。所指就是垃圾徵費。垃圾徵費會在今年八月一日實施，雖然最終會否進一步押後或擱置，我們暫仍觀望事態發展，但如果真的落實推行，對我們生活又有什麼影響? 最近我們《胡．說樓市》都收到不少相關谷友查詢相關議題，所以也歸納了常見問題，跟大家討論一下。

要做到源頭減廢，政府決定透過立法對垃圾收費，由今年八月一日起，我們丟家居垃圾要付費。政策設有兩種徵收垃圾費的模式，第一種模式，也是我們最討論的，就是「按袋收費」。日後我們要買指定膠袋來丟垃圾、或大型垃圾貼上指定標籤，之後再由屋苑清潔工透過食環署或其承辦商的垃圾車收集、經私營垃圾收集商用壓縮垃圾車、甚或乎以螞蟻搬家形式把垃圾送往食環署垃圾收集站。

一共會九種不同size的膠袋可選擇，收費劃一為每公升0.11元，我們要按自己拋棄垃圾量選購適合自己垃圾袋。例如一個15公升的垃圾袋，日後要支付1.7元，再大一點20公升就要2.2元，如此類推。一些比較大的垃圾、垃圾袋不能裝上的就要貼上指定標籤，每一個標籤收費11元。指定膠袋及標籤可在不同超市、便利店及藥房購買。部份管理公司可能會在政策實施初期，協助居民去買袋，透過如此模式來買袋，管理公司可獲回贈指定袋3%作為服務費。

垃圾徵費另一個備受批評的地方，就是刻意買一個膠袋來盛載垃圾，這個舉動並不環保，尤其我們去超市購物，本身已經支付了一元買膠袋，回家拋棄垃圾時要再買指定袋丟棄，似乎跟環保的原意背道而馳。雖然政府容許大部份指定授權零售點「一袋兩用」，也就是說，買散裝單個指定袋來替代平時的膠袋，以便回家後可用來盛載垃圾。

但實情有部份商舖仍未做得到「一袋兩用」，而且，我們日常生活中，未必事事買指定袋來包裝貨品，如買一盒外賣本已有膠袋包裝、去街市買蔬菜也用膠袋包裝，但之後都要拋棄在指定袋內，這些大家都要留意。

另外，由於清潔工要確保垃圾妥善包裝，如果鄰居不聽從指示以非指定袋來包裝垃圾，又或者清潔工人根本未能確定來源的違規垃圾，清潔工是要抽出相關垃圾，再由指定袋包妥或貼上指定標籤。屋苑要為部份居民「包底」。「包底」由誰人去支付，以及公共地方的垃圾由誰人支付等問題，居民也應該要去找管理公司商討。

除了按袋收費，第二種收費模式是按重收費。大家可以不用買袋包裝垃圾，而是在收集垃圾後，才一次過在廢物轉運站或堆填區，按磅重重量來結算，收取俗稱的「入閘費」。「入閘費」多少視乎運往不同的地點，每公噸收費為365-395元。所以基本上，如果你的屋苑已經採用了買袋模式來處理垃圾，大抵上是不用繳付「入閘費」，這樣可避免「俾完又俾」的雙重徵費問題。

雖則說不會雙重徵費，但其實，在實際執行是有可能要「俾完又俾」的。因為最終需否支付「入閘費」是取決於由哪一種垃圾收集車輛把垃圾運走。一般由食環署或承辦商的垃圾車隊收集垃圾、或私營垃圾收集商以壓縮型垃圾車收集，只要用上指定袋或標籤，都不用繳「入閘費」；但在少數情況下，透過私營垃圾收集商以非壓縮型垃圾車收集，則怎樣也要支付「入閘費」。所以作為業主要跟管理公司確定屋苑用哪種方式來收垃圾、以及怎樣運走。

政府全面撤辣後，樓市交投變得很暢旺，但最近還有另一個議題，也大家很關注的。所指就是垃圾徵費。垃圾徵費會在今年八月一日實施，雖然最終會否進一步押後或擱置，我們暫仍觀望事態發展，但如果真的落實推行，對我們生活又有什麼影響? 最近我們《胡．說樓市》都收到不少相關谷友查詢相關議題，所以也歸納了常見問題，跟大家討論一下。  要做到源頭減廢，政府決定透過立法對垃圾收費，由今年八月一日起，我們丟家居垃圾要付費。政策設有兩種徵收垃圾費的模式，第一種模式，也是我們最討論的，就是「按袋收費」。日後我們要買指定膠袋來丟垃圾、或大型垃圾貼上指定標籤，之後再由屋苑清潔工透過食環署或其承辦商的垃圾車收集、經私營垃圾收集商用壓縮垃圾車、甚或乎以螞蟻搬家形式把垃圾送往食環署垃圾收集站。  一共會九種不同size的膠袋可選擇，收費劃一為每公升0.11元，我們要按自己拋棄垃圾量選購適合自己垃圾袋。例如一個15公升的垃圾袋，日後要支付1.7元，再大一點20公升就要2.2元，如此類推。一些比較大的垃圾、垃圾袋不能裝上的就要貼上指定標籤，每一個標籤收費11元。指定膠袋及標籤可在不同超市、便利店及藥房購買。部份管理公司可能會在政策實施初期，協助居民去買袋，透過如此模式來買袋，管理公司可獲回贈指定袋3%作為服務費。  垃圾徵費另一個備受批評的地方，就是刻意買一個膠袋來盛載垃圾，這個舉動並不環保，尤其我們去超市購物，本身已經支付了一元買膠袋，回家拋棄垃圾時要再買指定袋丟棄，似乎跟環保的原意背道而馳。雖然政府容許大部份指定授權零售點「一袋兩用」，也就是說，買散裝單個指定袋來替代平時的膠袋，以便回家後可用來盛載垃圾。  但實情有部份商舖仍未做得到「一袋兩用」，而且，我們日常生活中，未必事事買指定袋來包裝貨品，如買一盒外賣本已有膠袋包裝、去街市買蔬菜也用膠袋包裝，但之後都要拋棄在指定袋內，這些大家都要留意。  另外，由於清潔工要確保垃圾妥善包裝，如果鄰居不聽從指示以非指定袋來包裝垃圾，又或者清潔工人根本未能確定來源的違規垃圾，清潔工是要抽出相關垃圾，再由指定袋包妥或貼上指定標籤。屋苑要為部份居民「包底」。「包底」由誰人去支付，以及公共地方的垃圾由誰人支付等問題，居民也應該要去找管理公司商討。  除了按袋收費，第二種收費模式是按重收費。大家可以不用買袋包裝垃圾，而是在收集垃圾後，才一次過在廢物轉運站或堆填區，按磅重重量來結算，收取俗稱的「入閘費」。「入閘費」多少視乎運往不同的地點，每公噸收費為365-395元。所以基本上，如果你的屋苑已經採用了買袋模式來處理垃圾，大抵上是不用繳付「入閘費」，這樣可避免「俾完又俾」的雙重徵費問題。  雖則說不會雙重徵費，但其實，在實際執行是有可能要「俾完又俾」的。因為最終需否支付「入閘費」是取決於由哪一種垃圾收集車輛把垃圾運走。一般由食環署或承辦商的垃圾車隊收集垃圾、或私營垃圾收集商以壓縮型垃圾車收集，只要用上指定袋或標籤，都不用繳「入閘費」；但在少數情況下，透過私營垃圾收集商以非壓縮型垃圾車收集，則怎樣也要支付「入閘費」。所以作為業主要跟管理公司確定屋苑用哪種方式來收垃圾、以及怎樣運走。
