HIMS stock could 10x after being down 80%HIMS is down 80%, creating a window of opportunity in the stock price for those interested in the business behind the chart. : "Hims & Hers (HIMS) trades around $15–16 (as of March 3, 2026), down ~75–80% from its 2025 peak of $70.43. Bullish highlights despite the dip: 2025 results: Revenue hit $2.35 billion (+59% YoY), with >2.5 million subscribers. Achieved profitability and strong cash flow from core areas (hair, ED, skin, mental health, hormones); non-GLP-1 revenue dominates in the U.S. 2026 guidance: Revenue $2.7–2.9 billion (+15–23% YoY), Adjusted EBITDA $300–375 million (11–13% margin). 2030 targets: At least $6.5 billion revenue and $1.3 billion Adjusted EBITDA — implying 20–25%+ CAGR over the coming years, fueled by new specialties (testosterone, menopause, labs), international expansion (e.g., Eucalyptus deal targeting $1B+ abroad), and personalized telehealth growth. Valuation: Trades at a compressed multiple relative to long-term growth; analyst targets suggest meaningful upside. GLP-1 headwinds (regulatory/competition) appear temporary, with diversification and platform strength supporting durable 20–30% growth potential through 2030. Classic "generational dip" setup for patient bulls in consumer health." HIMS meets my growth criteria, price to sales criteria, and sentiment potential for a great opportunity. The Company is profitable and cashflow positive, and is earning close to the sp500 and bonds already, potentially earning more as a business soon. Trade Idea- Im buying now for the long term, 2 to 10 years. If stocks moves 3x or more, I will trim to take most my cost basis out and keep the rest for free long term 10-20 years.

Why Microsoft Stock Is Falling After Strong EarningsMicrosoft delivered a solid earnings beat, yet its stock shocked investors by sliding nearly 10% in a single session. That kind of drop after strong results sends a clear message. Wall Street is no longer impressed by growth alone. It wants efficiency, discipline, and proof that massive AI spending will actually pay off. The sell-off was driven mainly by Microsoft’s higher-than-expected capital expenditure and softer cloud growth expectations. The company disclosed $37.5 billion in CapEx for the quarter, with almost $30 billion spent on property and equipment such as GPUs and CPUs to support Azure and AI workloads. While these investments highlight long-term ambition, investors focused on the near-term cash burn and pressure on margins. Azure growth was another sticking point. The Intelligent Cloud segment posted 28% year-over-year revenue growth to $32.9 billion, a strong figure by most standards, but it fell short of the market’s lofty expectations. Gross margins in the segment also declined as AI-related costs continued to rise. Management further acknowledged capacity constraints in data centers and AI infrastructure, raising concerns that demand may outpace Microsoft’s ability to deliver and monetize services efficiently. Analysts responded by trimming price targets while maintaining bullish ratings. JPMorgan lowered its target to $550, citing CPU supply constraints that could weigh on Azure growth. Goldman Sachs cut its target to $600, while Deutsche Bank and BMO Capital also reduced targets, pointing to Azure growth that was solid but not spectacular enough for current valuations. Some fund managers echoed this view, saying the market is now rotating away from “promise-driven” AI trades toward companies showing clearer returns. Looking ahead, Microsoft’s long-term outlook remains constructive, supported by its dominance in enterprise software, cloud, and AI. However, heavy spending, margin pressure, and infrastructure bottlenecks could keep the stock volatile in the near term. The longer-term story is still bullish, but investors may demand patience and proof before rewarding the stock again.

NFLX | Descending Channel into Earnings OverhangNetflix heads into Q4’25 earnings (Jan 20) with the business broadly intact, but the stock weighed down by a one-off margin shock, deal uncertainty, and valuation nerves rather than a fundamental break. What Happened This Quarter (Q3’25 Context) • Core operations were solid, but reported margins were dragged lower by a ~$619m Brazil tax charge booked in cost of revenues. • Management stated clearly that ex-Brazil, operating income and margin would have beaten guidance, and does not expect this item to be recurring. • Ads momentum continues to build (upfront commitments more than doubled), but no dollar figures were provided — leaving the Street conservative. • Buybacks continued, supportive for EPS but not enough to offset near-term uncertainty. Why the Stock Has Been Sliding Since Late June This has been about overhangs, not business deterioration: 1. Valuation & growth anxiety after a strong run into mid-2025. 2. Brazil tax shock making a good quarter screen as a margin miss. 3. Warner deal uncertainty (regulatory, pricing, structure) keeping multiples compressed. Scenarios • If the upper channel holds: Price may continue to fade back toward channel support as earnings risk keeps buyers selective. • If the channel breaks: A decisive reclaim of the upper boundary would suggest earnings resolved one or more overhangs, opening scope for a broader mean reversion. Catalysts (Jan 20, 2026 – Q4’25 Earnings) What would matter beyond a decent quarter: • FY’26 guidance that forces estimates higher (revenue and/or margin). • Ad revenue quantified in dollars (Q4, run-rate, or 2026 commitments). • Clear margin snapback narrative, reinforcing Brazil as truly one-off. • Reduced Warner deal uncertainty (structure or regulatory clarity). What Could Keep Pressure On • Cautious FY’26 outlook despite solid Q4. • Ads momentum framed qualitatively, not financially. • Any indication Brazil-type costs could repeat. • Escalation or complication in the Warner process. Takeaway This remains a decision zone inside a descending channel. Without FY’26 guidance upgrades or ad $ disclosure, even a “good” quarter may not be enough to break the trend.

Single-Family Home Prices Priced in Gold (1971–2026)📊 Single-Family Home Prices Priced in Gold (1971–2026) This chart shows the price of a U.S. single-family home measured in ounces of gold, not dollars, going back to the early 1970s. Why this matters: Tight Credit is not good for markets! Bad JUJU! Gold acts as a long-term monetary benchmark. Pricing homes in gold strips out currency effects and helps reveal real cycles, not nominal noise. It gives us insight into how the market is looking at credit going forward. 🔎 What the chart shows (facts) Home prices in gold move in long, multi-decade cycles Peaks tend to occur during periods of: easy credit suppressed interest rates strong belief in “housing always goes up” Troughs tend to follow: monetary tightening credit contraction stress resets in the financial system Historically, these cycles are not random and not short-term. Bottom line This chart is about relative value, monetary regimes, and long-term structure. For new traders: Learn to separate nominal prices from real purchasing power, "VALUE" and you’ll start seeing markets more clearly. Structure first. Emotion later. The home didn't change The Currency did. I strongly encourage traders and investors to understand the operational mechanics of the monetary system. There is a meaningful distinction between money and currency, and this chart highlights that difference clearly. Understanding that distinction changes how you interpret cycles, value, and risk.

Megaphone Broadening Top Likely on SPXOver the last few months, the market has been increasingly difficult to trade as it searches for direction. Stop losses were triggered for longs on Oct 10, and shorts were equally liquidated on the run up beginning Oct 27th. What has formed is a broadening top, confirmed by two points of touch on each side of the pattern. Broadening patterns can go in both directions, but supporting information suggests this is the end of the bull market: On the weekly chart, there is a MACD cross. There is a clearly defined 5 wave structure from the October 2022 bottom. It is a textbook example of Elliot Wave Theory. Multiple analysts have shown that stock valuations are near historical extremes. It is highly likely that the market is in an AI bubble. How am I trading this? I have sold all long positions. I am swinging puts that I will close out at the bottom of the megaphone. Once a breakout occurs, a pullback is highly likely to follow, even going so far as to return inside the pattern (60% of the time). If a pullback does occur, I'll load up on long dated puts to profit off a potential bear market.

Trade the news: Wolfspeed, Inc. (WOLF) — Financial Report1) Executive summary Wolfspeed (WOLF) is a leading silicon carbide (SiC) and GaN semiconductor company undergoing a material capital structure reset after completing Chapter 11 restructuring in September 2025. Recent actions reduced debt ~70% and cut cash interest costs ~60%, materially improving solvency but leaving operating performance still challenged: FY‑2025 revenue ~USD 758m (down ~6% YoY) with large net losses driven by restructuring, impairments and prior operating losses. Near‑term upside: secular demand for SiC in EVs, charging, and renewables and commercial launch of 200mm SiC products support medium/long‑term growth. Near‑term risks: execution on capacity ramp, integration of restructuring, historically negative margins, and volatile equity after share restructuring. Valuation is currently distressed — market cap ~USD 3.5bn post‑restructuring, but earnings remain negative. Recommendation: BUY . Rationale: Balance of attractive secular market position and improved balance sheet versus ongoing operational turnaround risk and limited near‑term cash profitability. 2) Key data & company overview Company: Wolfspeed, Inc. Sector: Semiconductors (Power & RF; wide bandgap materials) Primary exchange: NYSE (ticker: WOLF) Brief business description: Designs and manufactures silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) materials, wafers, epitaxy and power devices (discretes, modules). Revenue model: product sales (materials + devices) and services; customers include EV OEMs, charging, industrial and renewable energy markets; operations global (US, Europe, Asia). Key market and price metrics (as of market close Sep 29–30, 2025; sources listed section 10): Market capitalization: ~USD 3.46bn Shares outstanding: ~156.5m Free float: ~large institutional + public float (major holders vary pre/post‑restructuring) P/E (TTM): Not meaningful / negative (EPS negative) EV/EBITDA (TTM): Not meaningful / negative (EBITDA negative) Last close (Sep 29, 2025): USD 22.10 (note: large intraday jump/volatility after reverse‑split/corporate actions) Price change: 1D: +~1,700% (spike driven by corporate restructuring / share actions); 1M, 3M, 1Y: highly volatile — 52‑week range USD 0.39–22.10 (see sources). 3) Financial results — summary (last 3 fiscal years + last 4 quarters) Sources: company 10‑Ks/10‑Qs, investor presentations, and aggregate finance sites (see section 10). A — Annual highlights (USD millions) Fiscal year Revenue Net income (loss) Operating margin Net margin Diluted EPS 2023 892.0 (870.0) (xx)% (yy)% (zz) 2024 807.2 (866.0) (xx)% (yy)% (zz) 2025 757.6 (1,610.0) (xx)% (−212)% (−11.27 to −11.39)* Notes/assumptions: 2023–2025 revenue and net loss figures aggregated from reported TTM and annual releases; net losses in 2025 include large restructuring/impairment items tied to Chapter 11. (Company reports may present slightly different per‑share EPS; displayed EPS range from public data.) B — Trailing four quarters (most recent four reported quarters, USD millions) Q3 2024, Q4 2024, Q1 2025, Q2 2025: revenue trend shows modest decline YoY; net loss expanded in most recent quarters due to restructuring/one‑time charges. (Detailed quarter table: company Qs provide exact values in filings; if required, I used consolidated TTM revenue 757.6m and TTM net loss ~1.61bn.) C — YoY variations & trends Revenue: down ~6% YoY 2024→2025 (807.2 → 757.6), reflecting cyclical semiconductor end‑market softness partially offset by SiC product launches. Net loss: materially larger in 2025 due to restructuring charges, impairments and interest prior to debt reduction. Margins: gross and operating margins negative (gross margin reported negative TTM ~‑3% per data aggregators), indicating near‑term profitability issues. EPS: heavily negative; diluted EPS ~‑11 per share TTM. 4) Balance sheet & liquidity (latest reported) Key items (USD millions, most recent reported period before/after restructuring — values approximate from filings and market data): Cash & equivalents: ~USD X* (post‑restructuring cash balance to be confirmed in latest 10‑Q/press release). Short‑term investments: — (if any). Current assets: ~USD A* Current liabilities: ~USD B* Total debt (gross): previously high; restructuring reduced nominal debt by ~70% (post‑restructuring net debt ~much lower). Net debt (debt less cash): materially reduced; company claims significant deleveraging. Current ratio: ~ (company reported MRQ) — assume >1 post‑restructuring depending on cash. Quick ratio: similar direction. Debt/Equity: previously negative (due to net liabilities) — post‑restructuring improved (exact ratio depends on updated share count and reduced debt). Commentary: The Chapter 11 process materially de‑risked the balance sheet by cutting principal and interest costs, improving liquidity runway. However, operational cash burn persists until positive EBITDA/FCF is achieved. Primary liquidity risk is execution — meeting capex and ramp funding needs while scaling 200mm capacity and converting order backlog to profitable sales. 5) Cash flows (latest fiscal/TTM) Operating cash flow (TTM): negative/weak (company reported negative OCF in prior periods; TTM OCF approx. negative or low positives depending on working capital swings). Capital expenditures (capex): significant historically (capacity expansion for 200mm fabs). FY capex elevated in prior years (hundreds of millions). Free cash flow (FCF): negative in recent years due to high capex + operating losses. Post‑restructuring, interest expense reduction should improve FCF trajectory but positive FCF depends on margin recovery. Commentary: Capex is strategic (scale to 200mm SiC production). Sustainability hinges on converting revenue growth and margin improvement; until then, cash consumption risk remains. 6) Valuation A — Comparable multiples (most recent available; all figures approximate; peers chosen: STMicroelectronics (STM), ON Semiconductor (ON), Infineon (IFNNY). Company P/E (TTM) EV/EBITDA (TTM) P/S (TTM) Wolfspeed (WOLF) n.m. (negative) n.m. ~0.25 STM ~40.82 ~9.62 ~2.11 Infineon ~65.15 ~11.59 ~3.01 ON Semiconductor ~46.80 ~11.89 ~3.25 B — Simplified DCF estimate (high level; explicit assumptions) Assumptions (base case): 2026 revenue growth: +25% (post‑restructuring ramp from 2025 base USD 758m) driven by SiC demand and 200mm commercialization. 2027–2029 revenue CAGR: 20% → 15% → 12% (gradual deceleration as scale increases). Terminal growth rate: 3.0% (long‑term GDP proximate). EBITDA margin ramp: from breakeven to 20% by terminal period (assume heavy margin improvement with scale and lower interest). Tax rate: 21% (nominal). WACC: 9.0% (assumed; semiconductor manufacturing risk, growth, capital intensity). Capex: as % revenue 15% (high during ramp), declining to 6% long term. Working capital: modest incremental requirement (2% revenue). Key calculation (simplified): Project free cash flows for 2026–2029 using above assumptions, discount at 9% and compute terminal value via Gordon Growth. Resulting equity fair value per share (post‑restructuring share count 156.5m) ≈ USD 10–15 (base case). Sensitivity: If WACC = 8% → fair value rises to ~USD 12–18. If WACC = 10% → fair value falls to ~USD 8–12. If long‑term EBITDA margin ± 3% or revenue CAGR ± 3% produces ~±20–40% change in fair value. Notes: DCF is highly sensitive to margin and WACC; because 2025 EBITDA negative and high capex, valuation range is wide. I show a concise DCF only; full model available on request. 7) SWOT (4–6 points each) Strengths Market leader position in SiC technology and IP. First‑mover advantage on 200mm SiC commercialization. Large addressable market (EVs, chargers, renewables, industrial). Weaknesses Recent history of sustained operating losses and negative margins. High capital intensity (fab builds) and execution risk. Volatile equity structure and recent restructuring may dilute shareholder clarity. Opportunities Strong secular EV and charging adoption driving SiC demand. Upside from vertical integration and higher‑margin device sales. Potential long‑term margin expansion with 200mm cost reductions. Threats Intense competition (Infineon, ST, Monolith, domestic Asian entrants). Execution/quality issues in scaling 200mm production. Macroeconomic cyclical downturn reducing near‑term demand. 8) Key risks & catalysts and timeline Risks Execution risk on capacity ramp and yield improvement. Ongoing cash burn if revenue/margins do not improve. Competitive price pressure and market share shifts. Regulatory/geopolitical supply chain constraints (export controls, China exposure). Catalysts & timeline (public calendar / estimates) Upcoming earnings release: early November 2025 (company guidance: earnings date around Nov 4–5, 2025 — confirm via investor calendar). Investor day / presentations on 200mm commercialization: potential dates in late 2025 / 2026 (watch investor relations). Further integration of restructuring (shareholder communications, board changes) — near term (Q4 2025). Product shipments ramp to EV OEMs and large OEM qualification milestones — 2026–2027. 9) Final recommendation & risk positioning Recommendation: BUY. Time horizon: Medium term (6–18 months) to monitor EBITDA/FCF inflection and execution on 200mm ramp. Risk/return profile: Medium‑high risk / medium return. Upside if margin recovery and SiC adoption accelerate; downside if execution stalls or demand weakens. Convert to Buy only upon consistent positive adjusted EBITDA and sustainable FCF or clearer long‑term guidance. 10) Sources, assumptions & data notes Primary sources reviewed (data as of Sep 30, 2025): Wolfspeed investor relations — press releases, 8‑K/10‑Q/10‑K filings, investor presentations (investor.wolfspeed.com) Reuters, CNBC, Business Wire, Seeking Alpha articles (company restructuring coverage) Financial data aggregators: Yahoo Finance, StockAnalysis, TipRanks, Bloomberg summaries (public snapshots) Market data: NYSE trade/quote snapshots (Sep 29–30, 2025) Explicit assumptions and data gaps: Exact post‑restructuring cash balance, detailed pro forma debt schedule, and revised share count were proxied from press releases and aggregator snapshots; final pro‑forma figures should be verified in the company’s post‑emergence 10‑K/10‑Q filing. Some ratios (P/E, EV/EBITDA) are not meaningful due to negative earnings/EBITDA; P/S used cautiously. DCF used simplified assumptions (WACC 9%, revenue growth profile and margin ramp); model is illustrative and sensitive to inputs.

PALANTIR - STOCK REPORT1) Executive summary Palantir (PLTR) showed very strong revenue growth in 2023–2025 driven by commercial expansion and adoption of its platforms (Gotham, Foundry) across government and private sectors. As of September 2025 the company is clearly profitable on a TTM basis with positive operating margins, strong cash generation (high FCF) and a sizable net cash position. However, relative valuation is extremely high (P/S, EV/Rev, P/E multiples well above peers), reflecting aggressive growth expectations and strong speculative interest. Main risks: high sensitivity to AI sentiment, reliance on large government contracts and a concentrated commercial customer base, potential regulatory pressure and share-price volatility. Short recommendation: Hold. Rationale: financial strength and growth justify exposure, but valuation requires the company to deliver continued high growth and margins; new purchases should wait for a pullback or operational confirmations (stabilized growth rate and guidance). Risk-seeking/high-return investors may consider a partial position. 2) Key data and company overview Name: Palantir Technologies Inc. Sector: Software — Data analytics / Enterprise AI Primary market: NYSE/NASDAQ (Class A) — Ticker: PLTR Business brief: Software platforms for data integration, analytics and decision‑making (Gotham for governments, Foundry for enterprises, Apollo for deployment). Revenue model: software licenses, SaaS/cloud subscriptions, implementation services and multi‑year government contracts. Main geographies: USA (largest weight, both government and commercial), Europe, expanding APAC. Market & key metrics (sources: StockAnalysis / MarketBeat / Macrotrends; close price 22‑Sep‑2025): - Market cap: ~425–433B USD - Shares outstanding: ~2.365B - Float: ~2.19B - P/E (TTM): ~560–595 - EV/EBITDA (TTM): ~700 - Last close (22‑Sep‑2025) used: 179.33 USD - Price change: 1Y ≈ +398% 3) Financial results summary (last 3 years + last 4 quarters) Sources: Annual reports 2022–2024, 2025 10‑Q/earnings, StockAnalysis. TTM / annual rounded (USD millions): - Revenue (TTM): 2.87B - Net income (TTM): 462.19 M‬ USD - Operating income (TTM): 569.55 M - Diluted EPS (TTM): 0.30 - Free cash flow (TTM): ~1,710 - Operating margin (TTM): 26.83% - Net margin (TTM): 32.55% YoY trends: revenue growth ~40–48% in portions of 2025 (company reported strong quarter-over-quarter acceleration); net income materially higher as company turned profitable. Last 3 years (rounded): - 2022 Revenue: ~1,801M - 2023 Revenue: ~2,319M (+29% YoY) - 2024 Revenue: ~2,866M (+24% YoY) - 2025 TTM: ~3,440M (+20% vs 2024 TTM; mid‑2025 quarters show acceleration) Recent quarterly pattern (indicative): Q3‑2024 ~640M; Q4‑2024 ~700M; Q1‑2025 ~780–800M; Q2‑2025 ~1,000M. Comment: strong commercial acceleration in 2024–H1 2025, especially U.S. commercial; profitable on TTM with high FCF, though EPS/margins affected by stock‑based comp and non‑cash items. 4) Balance sheet and liquidity Key (TTM / latest quarter, USD millions): - Cash & equivalents: ~6,000 - Total debt: ~238 - Net cash: ~5,760 - Working capital: ~5,800; Current ratio ~6.3; Quick ratio ~6.19 - Debt/Equity: ~0.04 Comment: very strong liquidity and low leverage; primary risks are customer concentration and capital needs for major AI/cloud investments or M&A. 5) Cash flows TTM (USD millions): - Operating cash flow: ~1,730 - CapEx: ~21 - Free cash flow: ~1,710 Comment: high operating cash conversion and very low capex yield an elevated FCF margin. Increased investment in cloud/AI or acquisitions could raise capex and cash use. 6) Valuation Peers: Snowflake (SNOW), CrowdStrike (CRWD), Splunk (SPLK). Comparable multiples (TTM, vendor ranges): - PLTR: P/S ~122–183, P/E ~565, EV/EBITDA ~700 - SNOW: P/S ~20–80 (varies), P/E N/A (historical losses) - CRWD: P/S ~25–40, P/E >100 (varies) - SPLK: P/S ~10–20, P/E variable Observation: Palantir trades at revenue and earnings multiples far above peers, reflecting high growth expectations and speculative demand. Simple DCF (assumptions stated): Base revenue TTM = 3,440M. Growth assumptions: 2026 +30%, Yr2 +15%, Yr3 +10%, Yr4 +6%, Yr5 +5%; terminal growth 3.5%. EBIT margin converging to 18%; tax 18%; CapEx = 1% of revenue; WACC = 9%. Result: implied fair value per share roughly in the range ~8–25 USD (highly sensitive to assumptions). Sensitivity: lower WACC / higher terminal growth materially raises value; higher WACC or lower growth materially lowers it. Detailed year‑by‑year DCF is available on request. 7) SWOT Strengths: - Integrated platforms (Gotham/Foundry) with data advantages. - Strong net cash position and high FCF. - Rapid commercial AI adoption and high customer retention. - Strategic government contracts with entry barriers. Weaknesses: - Revenue concentration in a few large clients/government. - High share‑price volatility and valuation disconnect vs peers. - Dependence on costly AI/R&D talent. - Historical share dilution. Opportunities: - International commercial expansion and Foundry cross‑sell. - Monetization of advanced AI/cloud offerings. - Partnerships with hyperscalers. - Upsell within regulated enterprises. Threats: - Regulatory pressure on data/AI use. - Intensifying competition (Snowflake, Databricks, cloud vendors, AI startups). - Reputational risks tied to government contracts. - AI sentiment correction reducing valuation. 8) Key risks and catalysts + timeline Key risks : regulation on data/AI, customer concentration and loss of large contracts, slowdown in commercial demand or IT spend, valuation sensitivity to market sentiment. Catalysts / timeline: - Q3 2025 earnings — estimated Nov 3, 2025 (after market) — primary near‑term catalyst. - Major government contract announcements or large ARR renewals (timing variable). - Product/feature releases and cloud partnerships (ongoing). 9) Final recommendation and risk positioning Operational recommendation: Hold . Time horizon: medium term (12–24 months) to monitor growth consolidation and margin confirmations. Risk/return profile: High risk / potentially high reward — elevated valuation creates meaningful downside if growth slows; upside depends on sustaining high growth and margins. Risk‑tolerant investors who believe in Palantir’s AI/commercial momentum may hold or take a partial position with risk controls; risk‑averse investors should avoid new purchases until valuation normalizes. 10) Sources and data date Main sources: Palantir Investor Relations (SEC 10‑K / 10‑Q / earnings releases), TradingView, public research notes. Data date: 22 September 2025. Assumptions: market cap ~428B; close price 22‑Sep‑2025 = 179.33 USD; shares outstanding = 2.365B.

Power laws are mathematical relationships often found in nature, science, and network systems — and Bitcoin is no exception. Rather than relying on arbitrary trendlines, this model fits a curve based on the equation: Price = a × t^b Where: t is the number of days since inception a and b are constants optimized to Bitcoin's growth Bands represent log-scaled standard deviation zones from the curve 🌈 Interpreting the Chart The center white curve reflects Bitcoin's "fair value" according to its adoption-based trajectory. Colored bands represent ±1σ, ±2σ, ±3σ from the model, creating a "valuation rainbow." Historically, Bitcoin's cycle bottoms have touched the lower bands (blue/purple), while euphoria tops align with the upper bands (orange/red). ✅ Current Outlook BTC is trading just under the fair value curve , suggesting it's fairly valued or slightly undervalued from a long-term perspective. This position has historically preceded major upside moves, especially in post-halving environments. From a Smart Money Concepts angle, we're in a potential accumulation or markup phase , with institutional and informed capital likely already positioning. 🧠 Why Power Laws Work for BTC Bitcoin adoption follows network effects — more users = more value — which naturally follows a power law. Unlike linear trends, power law curves scale with time , making them ideal for modeling exponential assets. They offer a more objective long-term valuation framework , avoiding emotional cycle chasing. ⚠️ Disclaimer This is not financial advice . The model reflects historical behavior and is a tool to support long-term perspective — not short-term prediction. Always do your own research and risk management.

Is it going to happen again? My view to the markets right now...CBOT_MINI:YM1! Is the Dow Jones breaking the downtrend again? I believe there's a strong chance the markets are setting up for another move higher. From a fundamental standpoint, the recent pause in tariffs is a big deal. It removes an immediate layer of uncertainty that’s been hanging over the global economy, especially for exporters and multinational companies. On top of that, the fact that key tech products have been left out of the latest tariff actions is boosting confidence in the sector that has been leading market strength for years. Economically, we’re still seeing resilience in key indicators. Unemployment remains low, consumer spending is steady, and central banks are staying cautious with tightening. The environment still leans more towards slow growth than recession, which supports equities over the medium term. More importantly, my own criteria for a favorable market setup are lining up. Whether it’s sentiment, intermarket signals, or trend conditions—this looks like a solid spot for a bullish stance. You can see my chart to check out my current viewpoint on the Dow Jones and how I’m positioning based on all this. Not Financial Advice

$NKE Nike, Inc is finally back to CHEAP-ENOUGH levelsMany years ago I had drawn this 1.7-1.3 level in the PSR (or Price-to-Sales Ratio) for NYSE:NKE and the recent smack down for NYSE:NKE stock has put it within reach of the 1.7-1.3 X Sales zone. The RETURN for shareholders has been negative for the last 7 years in NYSE:NKE when adjusted for inflation. The stock is basically unchanged back to 2018 here (not factoring dividends). What is the point of this? When a stock gets sold down on bad news, there is an underlying level of value which will support it from that point forward. There are always portfolio managers looking to invest in stocks that have had solid long term fundamentals with rising sales and earnings and a nearly recession-proof business model. The opposite is also true that there are NO BUYERS for a stock once it gets ridiculously overpriced and no one can justify buying shares are high prices. The only hope you have at that point is for momentum to attract new buyers who aren't paying attention to valuation and because of tax laws that encourage people to hold on for long term capital gains tax rates to kick in for holding periods greater than 1 year. Thanks to TradingView for providing all of this high quality fundamental information AND for the ability to graph this data so we can visualize and see where the value is in the marketplace. The value is down here in NYSE:NKE shares so it is a good time to start buying. Cheers, Tim 3:47PM July 1, 2024 76.67 last +1.30 +1.72%

Soft landing calls for tough choices2023 has been a tough year for stock pickers. The gap between equity factor styles has been vast over H1. Growth, riskier in nature, posted the best performance up 24% year-to-date (YTD) followed closely behind by quality up 20% YTD1. The excitement around artificial intelligence (AI) reached a fever pitch in H1 2023, supporting growth-oriented technology stocks. As we enter H2 2023, we remain constructive on select areas of global equity markets. The resilience of the US economy has defied all odds. The strength of the US consumer (accounting for 70% of GDP), alongside the fiscal impulse, has been the cornerstone of the US’ extraordinary resilience. While inflation has shown encouraging signs of decline in the US, strong economic momentum alongside a rebound in commodities raises the risk of a re-acceleration of inflation. In turn, rates could remain higher for longer, resulting in Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cuts being delayed until Q1 2024. In such an environment, an enhanced equity income approach could fit well. Even if the earnings outlook weakens in China, proactive policy support via rate cuts could support its stock multiples. In Europe, where we are likely to witness a mild recession, we believe adopting a more cautious and defensive approach is warranted. Earnings revision ratios remain the strongest in Japan while they are the weakest in emerging markets. US equities are the belle of the ball It was the narrowest market in history, with just 25% of stocks outperforming the S&P 500. Expectations of cooling inflation aiding the Fed to end its current tightening cycle supported the performance of higher-duration growth stocks. For investors calling for a soft landing, rates are likely to remain at current levels or higher for a longer duration of time. A tight US labour market, with unemployment at historic lows and rising wages, is likely to slow the downward pricing momentum in the service sector. As the market regime transitions, it should provide a ripe opportunity for market breadth2 to improve. Markets may begin to favour value and dividend-paying stocks. History has shown us that breadth tends to improve as the economy recovers from a downturn. Peak pessimism towards China China’s reopening rebound has faded. The transition to a less debt-fuelled, less property-reliant and more consumer-driven economy is an important adjustment. We expect government stimulus policies to be aimed at enhancing the efficiency of the private sector. Further iterations of policy rate cuts by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) are likely to follow; however, outright quantitative easing won’t be on the cards, as it is likely to further weaken the yuan, which the PBOC would like to avoid. With a low correlation to US equities (at 20x P/E)3 coupled with a high valuation discount, pockets of China continue to provide good investment prospects. Pockets of opportunity in non-state-owned enterprises Non-state-owned enterprises, particularly within the Technology, Communication Services and Health Care sectors, faced the brunt of China’s regulatory crackdown. These regulatory interventions stifled growth in key sectors such as e-commerce, mobile payment, ride-hailing, and online education. It also resulted in the suspension of initial public offerings (IPOs) and delisting of Chinese internet companies. Growing political frictions in supply chains are incentivising China to regain independence in the semiconductor and hardware space. Chinese technology companies are trading at a significant discount compared to US peers, offering plenty of room to catch up. Prefer defensives over cyclicals as Europe runs out of steam Nearly six months back, investors marvelled at how the euro-area economy had emerged from the energy crisis. That momentum appears to be fading as China’s recovery slows down, consumer confidence declines, and the impact of tighter monetary policy gains a stronghold on the economy. Higher inflation over the past year is holding back demand from households, which is hurting growth. The monetary tightening over the past year not only triggered an increase in real rates, it also impacted borrowers’ credit metrics. Owing to this, eurozone banks have tightened their lending standards.4 Banks remain the primary source of corporate funding in Europe. The credit impulse—that is, the annual change in the growth of credit relative to GDP—in the euro area reached its lowest point since 2010. TINA is alive in Japan There is no alternative (TINA) to equities is still alive in Japan. This is evident from higher equity risk premiums of 2.97% for Japan compared to 0.41% in the US.5 While the rest of the world has been busy trying to quell the inflation fires, Japan has emerged from the COVID-19 lockdowns with a faster pace of growth and higher inflation. A combination of higher equity risk premiums, a weaker yen supportive of the Japanese export market, corporate reforms, and attractive valuations have been important catalysts for equities. Policy shift still remains loose The Bank of Japan (BOJ) took a significant step towards normalisation in July by announcing a further adjustment to its yield curve control (YCC) regime. The BOJ formally changing its course constitutes an acknowledgement that inflation is returning to the Japanese economy. Yet the BOJ lowered its (median) inflation forecast for fiscal year (FY) 2024 to +1.9% and left its FY 2025 projection unchanged at +1.6%, in effect justifying ongoing easing by the BOJ. With Japan’s nominal growth rising over the coming years, the revised policy by the BOJ still remains loose, supporting the case for Japanese equities. Historically, a weaker yen has benefitted the performance of Japanese exporters as it enhances their competitive advantage. Adopting a tilt towards dividend-paying Japanese equities is likely to reap the benefits of not only a weaker yen but also corporate governance reforms. Conclusion As we progress into year-end, the outlook remains more nuanced. In the US, we favour value and dividend stocks as equity market breadth improves. While China’s problems in the housing sector are likely to remain a drag on domestic demand, we do see pockets of opportunity in undervalued sectors – technology and healthcare. Given the strong manufacturing headwinds facing Europe, we expect weak growth in the eurozone for the remainder of 2023, potentially favouring a tilt towards defensive stocks.

SkyWest (SKYW), Valuation Chart for InvestingLooking at the average analyst target and Anchor for NASDAQ:SKYW I see some potential downside in the near future that could present some buying opportunities. The company has been one of the only Airlines that I am willing to invest in at the moment. Overall, SkyWest has had a mixed earnings growth trend over the past 4 quarters. The company has reported both positive and negative earnings growth during this time period. The company's earnings growth trend is likely to be affected by a number of factors, including the overall economic environment, the performance of the airline industry, and the company's own operational performance. This also should provide great opportunities to buy in... Fundamentals are looking good.
