Apple proves to still be a good investment. We think this stock continues long despite the doom and gloom ideas about the US stock market. I guess we just have to see but $131 a share is not a bad idea or thought. Good luck people!
It always interest me when the market news goes dead around an asset. Crypto seems to be pretending to be back on the agenda. Crypto is acting more and more like a safe haven bet. So I would pay close attention, possible 30% at least return to be had. Never say never.
Ocean Rig is a big play. Seems like we are correcting for a big buy the dip. I could be wrong but ORIG has some good financials around revenue. Despite Oil prices declining, this company still manage to show a profit of $80m down from $250m, the reason, good cost reduction, tells me this company has solid management, that can anticipate downturns and have the...
Long Range hailing equipment provider, LRAD has had a tough time on the NASDAQ. I looked seriously into shorting this stock at one point but decided to pull out on the fundamentals. The balance sheet and income statement are solid enough but not eye popping. Revenue however dropped in 2015. A company doing 16m in revenue from 24m is probably struggling a little,...
Well, I can't put my finger on it. This was a terrible investment choice last year and some how still looks like a bad investment choice. GoPro is a great company with a solid balance sheet. Cash is down from $128m to $36m. They have Long-term debt of around $35.7m, so not a huge amount for a company like this. I do however get the feeling that these action cams...
As a former commodity trader, I do have love for the agricultural commodities. Coffee has been rising in price since late last year when local coffee prices in Brazil started rise. At the time futures prices were falling. This year reports out of South America sight a beetle, that is devouring coffee plants, it is most certain that Arabica will show a shortage....
Not long to go as the UK cruises towards Brexit. Does anyone else think that that we will exit the union? However it turns out I think the UK has bigger problems, inflation and monetary stimulus being two of them. Inflation is less than impressive and the £375 billion easing program seems set to continue. Unless the markets are truly rigged, then we should see the...
I can't say I am a fan of biometric technology but Governments globally are more and more obsessive about monitoring and tagging citizens. These guys have biometric applications in defence technology, border patrol, law enforcements, even schools. Biometric technology will continue to influence our lives. Financially AWRE is solid, since 2010, revenue has been up...
I am pretty bearish on AMD. The company has been making a consistent loss quarter after quarter. $197m loss from $180m the previous quarter. AMD continues to struggle in the face of stiff competition in the computing sector. Apple and Microsoft are all moving into hardware and with the preference being Intel, tough days ahead. Technically a break of...
The Chart shows a pair that broke out of balance to enter extreme volatility as the trend fails to assert itself. Volume has declined significantly after the break. The reversal to the downside was also on declining volume. Typical of a market lacking in confidence. Participants are waiting on new information. I suspect Cable will rally into prior excess points...
In the face of a pending interest rate hike and low inflation in the UK economy is certainly more fragile than the US. Technically Cable is in a short-term balancing act with the main short term auction looking at 1.5130 as a possible test. A break of that level is likely to activate the intermediate term bearish auction back to test the 1.4300 lows that was the...
Take-two are the guys behind Rock Star, makers of the GTA franchise. Despite bringing violence to our screens, TTWO has had a strong balance sheet. Net revenue more than doubled and it posted its highest net profit ever of just over $361m. Everyone likes a company with profit and with International sales growing and now accounting 53% of all Take two's revenue, we...
GoPro has recently teamed up with Google to bring 3D to Youtube. GoPro is an innovative company with no liabilities. GoPro showed a 41% increase in revenue to just over $1.3bn. Net Income more than doubled, giving GoPro in my opinion top tier status in managing their financial affairs. On a technical note, we should have been long GoPro in March but with these...
The Euro continues to climb. I suspect it is a simple case of sentiment. The rout on bonds globally undoubtedly signaled a change in investor sentiment, at least in the short-term from safety to risk. Capital continues to flow from safety into risk in this case the Euro and the Australian Dollar alongside commodities like Copper. This is an unusual appetite for...
The US Dollar continues to strengthen in the face of a potential interest rate hike. The FED continues to run out of excuses not to raise rates. IS is also a reason why Oil will fall, cheaper Oil means terrorism can't exactly profit from high Oil prices. The politics will ensure Oil is low for the foreseeable future. Down we go!
Microsoft has been performing poorly compared to the other NASDAQ stocks. I always had the idea to short the weak movers. 38.2% retracement, 200ma. I was a nice optimum trade.
The UK has its inflation report next week. I personally think Core inflation will come in lower. Headline inflation is forecastedto rise suggesting that demand for basic goods and services are not as strong as the BoE will have us believe. The Dollar continues to rise. NFP gave the USD a big boost on Friday and the FED remains on course to hike rates this year.
Oil continues to fall amid a strong US Dollar and environment where capital flows are heading for safe havens. Bonds in Europe are being snapped up, even the Yen has attracted buying. The economic recovery in the West demands cheaper commodities, so it is unlikely we will see Oil buying soon. I won't be suprised to see Oil $35 a barrel.
