Canadian Solar bounce potential trade. Its oversold and potentially pricing alot of the potential risk, making it attractive for a trade. Fundamentally is attractive. Tangible book value is 38 ish while stock is under 15. They took one debt to build manufacturing facility, so debt is productive. 3.6b debt vs 1.94 cash. PE is under 5, but when we factor in debt...
Copper has been in an uptrend since february 2024. Price is currently outside Bollinger bands (50 period). Some of the reasons copper has been rising is near term demand and shortages, some articles pointing out to data center demand for copper for the AI boom. With Nvidia, intc, amd and other tech stocks showing weakness in last week, my opinion is that it...
Stocks to gold ratio had dropped weeks before the spx in dollars had turned. Was the gold buying a signal that safe haven collateral was in demand? In a panic, both stocks and gold can be sold as investors need more and more liquidity in falling markets. So gold is not necessarily an inverse asset to stock, keep this in mind. In most major sell offs, gold...
Its taken a long time, but silver has finally shown life toward the upside. Bullish moves in silver have taken 8-10 years in the past to fully play out.

Nvidia currently trading at 36 times sales and pricing in all the forward growth in earnings analysts can see. Many cheap stocks trade at 1-2 x sales, normal price to sales for growth stocks might be 5-10x sales. But 36 x times has a huge built in growth premium which makes holding these growth names risky.

See my work of math art. I plot estimates of value over time. If you can visualize, it helps with understanding. Investors first must understand 3 things: does it make money now? will it make more money later? how is the company funded? Avoid money losers. Avoid companies that cant scale or grow. Avoid balance sheets that are weak or rotted with debt.
The growth premium on Tesla ran the stock up ahead of the fair value. The enthusiasm from 2021 was too much for the business value. However, the turbulence and slowing sales seen now will bring opportunity. 400-500 as a 5 year price is fair given the growth rate on earnings per share. So the lower the price falls, the better for investors looking to buy at a...
Gold is slow to move over time and hits its targets. The current move has been trying to break out for 3 ish years now. An extension of the current range of 1600-2050 points to a chance of 2500 as a target. And after than, if gold keeps rising, the decade range extension points at a shot at 3000. These numbers are hypothetical targets. When making new highs,...

When you hold gold, you hold a real commodity that has...

Deep value means cheap and cheap can lead to opportunity. De risked or beat up is why we consider cheap stocks that are already depressed, the financial storm has already hit the stock price. Sometimes stocks get so beat up its unreasonable and doesn't make sense. Jaresh Holdings (JRSH) might fit in this category. Its trading below tangible book value and...
