Lumn in Accumulation Phase ?Despite all the negative news around LUMN, negative cash flow, negative EBITDA and finally negative outlook from market analysts, LUMN remains a pioneer in data infrastructure and fiber provider in the US market + the market cap ($1.5B) is far below it is total equity fair value ( MUN:10B ). in other words, the fair price to the current situation is around 7 time the current stock price with negative outlook, this can be reduced by 50% which means 3,5 * 1,4 == around $5. (this is my personal analysis taking the worst financials case of LUMN for the next 4 quarters). The weekly and monthly charts show continues sell off with possible accumulation phase just started, in the coming months this can be confirmed if we see price stabilization around $1 and volume remains high. As per Fintel data, the institutional ownership percentage is dropping for the (at least) second quarter in a row. This is an opportunity to target 2026/2027 at least, less then 5% of the capital to be allocated. return may exceed 1000% (not guaranteed in shorter term), loss of 100% is highly possible if the new CEO fails to save the company + worst debt with higher yields. Position open, target price $10. Good luck everyone :)

Simple Investing Strategy, Affordable for all!Hey! Everybody wants to get rich. But not many from us know what it takes. In this article let's discuss Investing income from annual percentage yield (APY) . Key point is the percentage of income can be different from your location, but lets make our calculations from 8.0% APY. Why this strategy is Affordable for ALL? Well, for calculation I've used only $161 of monthly investing. I understand for some person this is nothing, and for another it is a lot. But you can calculate your own affordable investing amount per month and use it. Consistency is the key! Another point why its affordable, its because you don't need to have a lot of money at the beginning. You can start from minimal deposit allowed by service/fund/bank (APY provider) where you allocating your funds. Please, note, this is simple and affordable investing strategy. But still THIS IS NOT 100% SAFE STRATEGY... There are several risks of losing your money after all. Mostly this risks depends on APY provider, so I recommend to change your APY provider over a time, and to secure your funds use multiple providers. Let's see how we get this numbers and first of all it is important to keep consistency during all your investment journey. Remember, this way can make you millionaire and can create a fortune for your kids. To understand how this works, let's see what is Compound Interest: Compound interest is the concept of adding accumulated interest back to the principal sum, so that interest is earned on top of interest from that moment on. The act of declaring interest to be principal is called compounding. Financials institutions vary in terms of their compounding rate frequency - daily, monthly, yearly, etc. Your savings account may vary on this, so you may wish to check with your bank or financial institution to find out which frequency they compound your interest at. I used monthly compounding to calculate final value. With savings accounts, interest can be compounded at either the start or the end of the compounding period (month or year). Compound interest formula Compound interest, or 'interest on interest', is calculated with the compound interest formula. Multiply the principal amount by one plus the annual interest rate to the power of the number of compound periods to get a combined figure for principal and compound interest. This formula is base of all interest calculations. To get easier process of calculation, I have used online Compound Interest Calculator. Best numbers we can get if we start investing early, but it happens we see right information too late, and we ask ourselves "Is it good time to start?" — I can say for sure, YES! Always good idea to start investing in your savings account. Trading is trading, but investing is a little different. You can invest in markets, or in savings accounts. Now let's see "worst case" — you starting your investing journey at 40 years old. How much you can earn on savings account until 60? I have calculated it with calculator, and used only $161 investments/savings per month with APY of 8%. You can see after 20 years of savings this amount of money (pretty much affordable for many people out there) you will get about $95,464 Final Value. Very impressive. Imagine if you can save more from your income each month... For example if you can save $1000 monthly, you will get $592,947 Final value after 20 years on your Savings Account. Middle scenario — investing for 30 years on your savings account. Until 60 you can earn solid $241,547 Final value, investing only $161 per month! Now if you can invest about $500 per month from your income you will get amazing $750,147 Final value. And of course best scenario — start investing on savings account early from 20y.o. This way you can get $565,799 Final value by 60 y.o. And if its possible to save more, let's say $250 monthly, you can get $878,570.30 Final value by 60 y.o. So in order to get rich, you don't need to invest a lot of money. Just make you investments consistent, and improve your financial education. Hope this article can inspire you to create your savings account and plan your future. Best regards, Artem Crypto

Halfway thereWe're halfway through the year of 2023. Mega Cap earnings season begins in July. The 8 largest companies by market capitalization are AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, NVDA, TSLA, BRK.B, META. Here's an 8 split frame, 6 month chart with financial data. AAPL 3.05 T +49% YTD Earnings 8/3/23 MSFT 2.53 T +42% YTD Earnings 7/25/23 GOOGL 1.53 T +36% YTD Earnings 7/25/23 AMZN 1.34 T +55% YTD Earnings 7/27/23 NVDA 1.04 T +189% YTD Earnings 8/23/23 TSLA 830 B +113% YTD Earnings 8/19/23 BRK.B 745 B +10% YTD Earnings 8/7/23 META 735 B +138% YTD Earnings 7/26/23 Revenue = The total amount of money brought in by a company's operations, measured over a set amount of time. EPS = Is calculated by subtracting any preferred dividends from a company's net income and dividing that amount by the number of shares outstanding. PE = The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is the ratio for valuing a company that measures its current share price relative to its per-share earnings. PB = The Price-to-book value (P/B) is the ratio of the market value of a company's shares (share price) over its book value of equity. PS = The price-to-sales P/S ratio is calculated by dividing the stock price by the underlying company's sales per share. FCF = Free cash flow (FCF) represents the cash that a company generates after accounting for cash outflows to support operations and maintain its capital assets. Cash to debt ratio = The cash flow-to-debt ratio is the ratio of a company's cash flow from operations to its total debt. A ratio of 1 or greater is best, whereas a ratio of less than 1 shows that a firm isn't generating sufficient cash flow to meet its debt obligations. PEG ratio = The price/earnings to growth ratio (PEG ratio) is a stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio divided by the growth rate of its earnings for a specified time period. Generally, a PEG below 1 means a stock is undervalued. Current ratio = The current ratio is Current Assets divided by Current Liabilities. It's a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations or those due within one year. In general, a current ratio of 2 or higher is considered good, and anything lower than 2 is a cause for concern.

XRP - BULLISH CHANNELRenewed interest in XRP is driven by three key indicators: a significant surge in real trading volume, a shift from declining to bullish market capitalization, and a consistent pattern of higher daily price lows. These positive signs point to a potential price surge, despite past challenges and legal developments surrounding XRP's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse. Investors are closely watching these developments for investment opportunities. Risk Disclosure: Trading Foreign Exchange (Forex) and Contracts of Difference (CFD's) carries a high level of risk. By registering and signing up, any client affirms their understanding of their own personal accountability for all transactions performed within their account and recognizes the risks associated with trading on such markets and on such sites.

PayPal: Turbulent Journey, Promising FutureI am a big supporter of PayPal but I believe its share value will get worse before it gets better. According to its Q2 2023 results, the online payment company experienced a deterioration in its liquidity with a cash ratio difference (cash/total current liabilities) of -0.04 when compared to its Q2 2022 results. The Q3 2023 Earnings Call taking place on Wednesday (1 November 2023) should set the tone for what to expect in the coming months, a steeper drop in share price or a much desired recovery. PayPal has had a rocky year with the retirement of its veteran CEO, Dan Schulman, who was officially succeeded by Alex Chriss last month. Because Schulman's departure was planned and not sudden, the change in leadership is not a concern for me. The online payment giant also recently launched its own stablecoin showing its willingness and capability to evolve with the times. All-in-all, I believe PayPal's shares have been mostly rocked by factors outside of its direct control (rising treasury yields, pandemic lockdowns lifting, recession fears, etc) so I am anticipating the Q4 2023 to be a pivotal moment as I believe that's where we will see how Chriss has managed the company. Despite the expected turbulence I am going to load up on LEAPS calls as I believe this company is extremely undervalued and is due for a strong recovery once the current macroeconomic disturbances subside. If the price continues to slip, I can see us hitting a support around $40 which will be the lowest the stock has been since February 2017. While this would be difficult to stomach, it offers an exceptional purchasing opportunity. A potential near-future recovery to the $58.50 level is also possible; $65 would be the next stop if the $58.50 ceiling is surpassed. Speculative foresight: noting Elon Musk's prior history with PayPal and his long-term desires for operating an online bank (a desire he has expressed exercising with the newly acquired Twitter, now X, platform), I believe we can expect an attempted merger or acquisition from Musk once he has extinguished the current fires at Tesla and X. In my opinion, an attempt to takeover PayPal would attract high volatility which could launch PayPal's shares to prior highs. This is all speculation of course and probably will not occur for several years, if at all. NASDAQ:PYPL

My Favorite AI Play - Bandwidth (BAND)Bandwidth (BAND) is my favorite AI play right now. The chart looks really bad! I get it. Today, it trades for below even its IPO price. But the reason why I think it's an AI play ready to double, possibly triple, is a fundamental reason that I'll explain in this post. First of all, let me state something very interesting about Bandwidth - today it's one of the worst performing stocks in the entire market since 2020 and 2021. I don't entirely know why that's the case, but I do think the market has overreacted. Let me now get the bad news out of the way: when BAND's stock was flying high, management took out several large loans to expand faster and grow globally. Those gains are starting to be realized, but it's key to mention this as the debt profile is still somewhat high. The question now is: can they keep paying it off? They're on target to have little to no debt within the next few years. Okay, so why is Bandwidth an AI play? To understand this you need to know that Bandwidth is essentially the connector for data that is transmitted over the web. Bandwidth's platform helps data, messages, voice calls, video calls, email, and more travel from Point A to Point B. For example, when you make a call on Zoom or even Slack or Google Hangouts, it's highly likely your call is being routed over Bandwith's network. The point is, Bandwidth is the toll keeper, the train conductor, for most modern communications that are triggered at scale. So how does AI fit into this? That's where this gets good. All of these AI companies NEED a company to help deliver the information to their end consumer. If OpenAI creates a chatbot that works on text message or sends push notifications or can even speak over calls, Bandwidth will most likely be the resource that delivers that information from business to consumer. What's even more interesting is call centers and the future of talking to call centers to get help or support. In one scenario, you upload all your most frequently asked questions, pair it with an AI service, and then let users call that AI service over the Bandwidth network and now an AI customer support agent is solving issues at scale. This is just one example. I could go on and on. But that's my play! I own a little Bandwidth and will be watching closely in the coming years.

Buterin & ETH Foundation sell ETH ! but why?Is ETH price about to Fall ? Ethereum Foundation's large scale selling in recent years record and recently the Ethereum Foundation sold 15,000 ETH . In 2021, EF did sell 20,000 ETH at a high point Vitalik .eth wallet was the first to move 200 Ethereum (worth about 400k) to the US based Kraken exchange. following Buterin's transaction, the Ethereum Foundation did the same but on a much bigger scale, they shifted 15,000 ETH to Kraken as well. together with Buterin's crypto, that makes 40 million USD in fiat It seems that Buterin just sells Ethereum from time to time in more or less the same amounts , in the middle of February, he sold 210 ETH for roughly 325k in the USDC that chunk of ETH was also sold on Kraken too. Back then, Ethereum was trading at 1,545 dollar. On March 13, he moved another 200 ETH to Kraken, selling it at the price of 1,656 per coin On Friday that ETH had reached an eight month high in flows to crypto exchanges, the analytics team believes that this may be a sign of an upcoming volatility increase similar to what it was like after the collapse of FTX in early November and the Merge in mid September. In a tweet that followed, Santiment added that while "sky-high active deposits" of ETH to exchanges are the highest since November last year, ETH is now showing signs of decoupling from BTC and may be about to break above the $2,000 level. A record amount of ETH was burned at the end of this week, that was down to the meme coin season unwrapping at the moment, as you knoq the majority of meme coins like PEPE or Floki run on Ethereum and so are being actively moved with high ETH fees, providing a great opportunity to burn ETH and decrease the circulating supply. The Ethereum Foundation holds around 0.298% of the total ETH supply which in today’s market cap, that would put the value of the foundation’s ETH holdings at nearly 700 million dollar In total, the foundation said that ETH accounts for 80.5% of its crypto and non crypto holdings, many have quickly pointed out that previous large-scale ETH selloffs by the foundation have preempted market downturns. In November 2021, the foundation sold a cache of 20,000 ETH worth around $9.6 billion,this was swiftly followed by a major price correction as the market accommodated the increased circulation. it also coincided with the beginning of the 2021 ETH bear market.n fact, such selloffs by the foundation have long been connected to peaks in the ETH price cycle. and for followers of the market, both the foundation and Buterin are closely watched for the timing of their sales, which have often been on the money. Consider that in 2019, Buterin said in an interview that he had convinced the foundation to sell 70,000 ETH “basically at the top” of its price range at the time. He added that the decision had paid off and had allowed the foundation to double its funding runway. Certainly, the organization has been busy recently and has developers to pay. For example, in the first quarter of 2023, it allocated $4,370,418 across its various research, development, and community programs.the foundation is also an active investor in the wider crypto ecosystem. In this role, it needs to be prepared to make high-value purchases. Last year, the foundation took part in a $10.5 million Series A funding round for the workplace encryption startup Skiff. Skiff enables secure account creation and document sharing using an Ethereum wallet through the Ethereum Support Program, the foundation also offers grants to projects helping to build the Ethereum ecosystem. what do you think about Eth foundation strategy?
