I was surprised to learn that Microsoft is now the biggest company in the world by market cap. It's bigger than Apple and Amazon. Just an interesting share for now. Curious to hear your thoughts if you have any.
$10 seems like a psychological level to watch. I've marked it down on this chart. I will be watching. It will be really crazy if, for a second, time, crude oil goes negative.
AIG rose 200% over 3000 days of trading. It dropped more than 50% in just 4 weeks of trading. That's 8 years gone like that. People will try to say that markets are easy, but as they say 'RISK HAPPENS FAST.' Always manage risk and remember charts like this.
The S&P 500 has rallied well off its lows. But I look back at all the levels it still needs to hit and pass. The road ahead is long and daunting. It includes several big areas that date back as far as 2017. So I still remain on the sidelines wondering and watching. Maybe it gets through? Maybe not? Let's see.
I am charting some stocks that are performing well. And this Shopify chart caught my attention. It's nearing all-time highs right now. The white line marks that level. Does anyone think it can break through that? I will be watching closely. While I think Shopify is a great company and stock, I do wonder if it's light overvalued in this market getting this high...
I think this chart says everything you need to know
Wow. Just wow. If you look at QQQ the Nasdaq-100 ETF you will see that the market is flat on a year-to-date basis. So much for that giant sell-off. Hopefully I do not jinx it :) But nonetheless, it is interesting to see the snap back and recovery.
I simply marked down some interesting levels in the past to watch before they report earnings next week.
I've been watching Microsoft as the market has sold off. Microsoft has Xbox Cloud Teams Excel, Word, etc Skype They are one of the few tech companies that actually appear to be decently positioned for a work from home transition. Their market cap is still over a trillion. I would not buy here, I just think the story is interesting and worth watching if you can...
Every time I get bearish on Bitcoin, I just remember that I am not looking at it in a Log chart. I think this provides much more context to the move at hand. This is not advice at all. Just a recommendation to make sure your chart settings are always on point and that you continue to experiment between log and non-log charts.
I think Apple at $200 would be a gift. So here's my chart. The white shows where I've created an alert. If it gets there, I will act, if not, so be it. What level are you watching for Apple?
What I find most interesting about this global sell-off, is that for all headlines and fear, we are still nowhere near the Christmas crash lows of 2018. This is still only a 10% correction, which is, on average, expected every two years.
One of those charts you can't look at enough
This chart shows the S&P 500 SPY ETF next to the Fed Funds Rate. It seems to be a great reminder that this market is still Fed driven and low rates, at any moment, can support the market. When they got too high in 2018/19, the Fed cut and the bull run immediately continued. Just keep watching out for any potential hikes in the future. Otherwise...
I would never bet against Apple, but it's truly amazing to see how far away it is from its 200-day MA.
Just looking at LAKE, which makes hazmat suits. A Coronavirus stock? Not a recommendation, but on my watch list. 9x EV/EBITDA -- attractive -- and at 1 PS ratio. I wonder if it can be a hedge if this gets worse. Just a thought, nothing more, and I'm watching closely.
Looking at Apple and wondering if it's worth playing on the long side after such a big move into earnings. Sharing for fun and as a reminder. Not advice, just thinking out loud as earnings approach.
The days of Trade War headlines viciously bringing down markets may be over. "Listen here grandson, back in my day a headline about the Trade War could drop spoos 1% or 2%" Two days of headlines. Both recoveries. Also my thoughts on why: twitter.com
