Tesla will save us from fossil fuel dependencythe title says everything you need to know. without tesla the auto industry would of pushed fossil fueled engined until the supply was gone "crippling the economies reliance". right now we are seeing the aftermath of the covid epidemic and its pressure on us still after 3 years. supply chains have been disrupted globally and now fuel supply shortages are happening right now. there is a massive agricultural demand coming and the supply won't be there to meet the demand. these companies responsible for supply chains need to wake up to whats going on and change for everyone. the profits will come later. right now is the best time to say F it and restructure. Tesla should prepare for HIGH Demand that will innevitably come in 2023. Fuel supply shortage has a massive effect on the global supply chain. War has lasting effects for decades. Food supply shortages causes hunger and labor shortages. Transition or watch supply chains stop. We could be seeing the early days of another global crisis. Tesla is the catylst to fix global supply issues forever. Reliance on fossil fuels would be basically 0. Tesla stock will struggle some until 2023. Watch the fuel markets. When oil starts tanking wait for the recovery and start buying tesla shares. gas prices will skyrocket after oil tanks. could be 10.00 per gallon before EOY 2023

DGLY is due for a correctionDigital Ally, has had a bit of a slow motion pump after earnings in mid-May. Insofar as the earnings go, there were none. The news is DGLY is burning cash less than expected. No matter how you cut it shareholder value is not there and still the price went up since then especially in the last few trading sessions. DGLY could dilute shareholders to raise capital. Insiders could be manipulating the price. According to FinTel, there are 12 insiders who own 7.7% of the shares. Seemingly, if they act in a coordinated scheme without any paper trail they could have run the price up especially if they got help with one of the several penny stock trading rooms with lots of followers. Overall, this looks like a pop and drop pumped up and ready to flush. I will take a short trade of put options on this expectant for a quick profit over a week or two.

BLDR on a consistent trend higherBLDR is part of the construction industry and has had consistent gains over YTD in the range of 95 % with favorable beats on earnings estimates and increases in revenue. Volume has been rising in the past month. In the past when BLDR pulled back to the blue SMA100 line it then reversed quite well and resumed its move higher. At present, BLDR is on a pullback which provides an opportunity for a long entry at the current price where the SMA20 SMA50 and SMA 100 are converged. I will take a long trade here as I see BLDR to be consistent in its move up and setup for entry with a pullback.

Did you miss NVDA's move? What now?NVDA's gap up on a stellar earnings report should NOT have been a surprise, as the chart has been showing strength since January when I mentioned it in my Morning Reports. It was completing the bottom at that time. The trend upward was showing pro traders in control of price after Dark Pool quiet accumulation. It has 64% of the shares held by institutions, which is normal for a giant-cap stock. It should actually be a Dow 30 component rather than INTC but, alas, that won't happen for a while. NVDA stair-stepped upward. This is probably one of the hardest trendline patterns to see without rectangles drawn around the step, but one of the most important to recognize professional buyer dominance. What now? The gains are now extreme. And the pros are taking profits. That means there is very high risk for buying at this moment. CAN it move higher? Of course! Euphoric retail buying can easily drive prices upward further for a short period of time. Just remember that without institutional buying at this level, any upside from here may be short-lived.

Inflation will never stop...its time to short inflation 50%Inflation will never stop no matter how much money you make. Right now the cost of living avg is 50% too high for the current wages to keep supporting too much longer. homelessness and families moving in together to survive is already happening. The signs are out there for everyone to see and the government is playing with your lives. When wages increase so does the cost of living. Now the cost of living since the 1950's is too high to maintain in 2022 with current wages and 2023 will be worse. Unsustainable economic breakdown is coming and depression in society is at the highest i have ever seen it in my life time. Fuel shortages, Food shortages, high utility bills, taxes keep going up, government keeps overspending, times are tough for working families.

I hear so much everyday from people and this is what people say to me when i ask. I don't make enough money to survive. Bank won't give me a loan. I don't make enough money this year to cover bills. I need things and the store doesn't have it or its too expensive for my budget. power bill too expensive. gas is too expensive. my car has been in shop for months and still not fixed. my bank won't refinance my home. i can't afford groceries because i no longer qualify for government "snap" benifits with my raise at work and i have 4 kids. I am losing my farm to drought and excess cost of fuel and supplies. Automated warehouses put my entire family out of business. several people came forward with police not doing there job while communities are getting robbed while they are at work. the covid epidemic cost me everything my home and my business. my health insurance went up and can no longer afford it. so many people out there struggling to survive and the normal services that help these people have exhausted there funding without any more support for the demand of help. i don't see an end to this economic struggle people are facing and its only going to get worse. Fed rates hikes, the covid pandemic and the countless defaulted loans and ongoing bankruptcies with inflation has banks refusing personal loans and refinancing to alot of people without collateral. All i can say is stick with the job you have and try to manage your finances carefully. resources are stretched thin and customer service everywhere has a high turnover rate with people that don't really know what they are doing. People are taking any job they can to survive and when they lose or find another job they move on and don't really care about the service they are providing. They are basically a third party for the companies and some have reported security violations that resulted in fraud to access individual finances. I'm not writing a book here so i will leave this info here for you reading to digest and research on your own. Maybe a post from you on social media or here with some resources to help others find the help they need. thx for reading

Apple earnings on 5/4/23Apple earnings are on 5/4/23 at 4:30pm. Apple (AAPL) Q2 March 2023 consensus earnings estimate is 1.44 per share on revenue of 92.94 billion. The same quarter a year ago AAPL made 1.54 per share on revenue of 97.28 billion. Q2 March 2023 Consensus: PE = 28.8 EPS = 1.44 Revenue = 92.94 B Apple (AAPL) reported Q1 December 2022 earnings of 1.88 per share on revenue of 117.2 billion. The consensus earnings estimate was 1.93 per share on revenue of 122.1 billion. Revenue fell 5.5% compared to the same quarter a year ago. Q1 December 2022 Results: PE = 25.8 EPS = 1.88 Revenue = 117.2 B Cash = 30.22 B Debt = 99.63 B Assets = 128.78 B Liabilities = 137.29 I'm posting this as a short with a 10% share hedge idea going into earnings. By using a collar strategy to hold 90% of shares and 10% of shares hedged. A collar is often used for downside insurance. Implied volatility often results in IV crush after earnings if the share price does not exceed the options premium. For example: with 1000 shares held, 1 options contract equals 10% or 100 shares. With a wide range collar strategy sell 7/21 expiry 150 call simultaneously buy 7/21 expiry 190 put. The upside / downside, risk : reward = 10% : 20% for this options wide range collar strategy. So essentially, by using the collateral value of 10% shares, it equals 20% downside risk insurance for all 1000 shares for 3 months. If AAPL share price exceeds 170 after earnings, it only takes a +11% upside move to 189 / share of 900 shares to have the same share value as 1000 shares had at 170 / share. *options use 100x leverage you could lose everything* There are many types of options trading strategies and positions, simple to sophisticated & hybrids. I group them into theta, delta or mix strategies and bull, bear or neutral positions. There's a buy side and sell side to every trade. If you check the open interest (OI), you can see how liquid it is. Check how wide the bid vs ask spread is. Theta: iron condor iron fly covered call cash secured put calendar spread collar Delta: call put straddle strangle debit spread credit spread Bull: call put credit spread call debit spread cash secured put Bear: put call credit spread put debit spread covered call Neutral: straddle strangle iron condor iron fly collar (often used for downside insurance) calendar spread (short or long time) Options important variables: Strike = share price itm, atm, otm = strike position Expiry = Date of expiration Value = H, L & Mark Liquidity = bid vs ask spread Direction = put or call OI = open interest V = volume IV = implied volatility Delta = price Theta = time Vega = volatility Gamma = momentum

ALFEN more downside expectedAbove is my technical analysis on ALFEN. ALFEN's earnings showed quite some weakness which made the stock drop quite a bit. Furthermore, it looked like the earnings report was changed quite late since things looked messy and for this reason I expect the drop in earnings to continue throughout this quarter. I assume they noticed that the start of the second querter wasn't any good at all and thus changed their outlook last-minute. For this reason there is a big chance that the stock will drop with it and follow the downtrend shown above. Also, the next earnings might be even worse than expected (i assume so; mainly because of this messy earnings report), bringing ALFEN to even lower points (possibly hitting the third support zone shown). The price just retested the trendline and further downside is expected. This is not financial advice, trade at your own risk and do your own due dilligence!

Is Eaton Attempting a Breakout?Eaton has flirted with record highs, and some traders may be looking for a breakout. The first pattern on today’s chart is the price level around $175 where ETN peaked in late 2021. The industrial stock inched above the peak in March before pulling back. In the process, it made a higher quarterly low (for the fourth straight quarter). That tightening price action could suggest investors are willing to buy at increasingly higher prices. Second, previous dips brought the shares below their 50-day simple moving average (SMA). But this month they managed to bounce at that line – a potential sign of the intermediate-term trend improving. Third, earnings have beaten estimates for the last several quarters. Finally, the 8-day exponential moving average (SMA) crossed above the 21-day EMA about a month ago and has remained there since. That may indicate the shorter-term trend is bullish again.

Will Apple be able to update historical maximum? 🍎 Only some 5% remained before the historical maximum. If stock can do this, then Apple will become the world's first $3 trillion company! The NASDAQ:AAPL weight in the SP500 also rose to 7.4% - the highest for any single company in the index since data collection began in 1980! When you watch the Sp500 index go up, it doesn't mean that all stocks go up. Now the US index is pulled by 2-3 stocks that buy back their shares for billions of dollars. In the latest report, apple launched a new buyback to $90 billion and increased its dividend. Fundamentally and technically, the stock is ready to rise to new highs and higher… but I don’t think that will happen and here’s why 📉 1) The main catalyst for growth in recent years is buybacks. Now the US government is actively discussing the taxation of buybacks. Without buying back their own shares, companies will not be able to grow, since EPS will not grow. 2) The company has been declining phone sales for several quarters. Yes, Apple's revenue from phone sales is not the highest share of revenue. But it should be remembered that the entire ecosystem of the company is growing due to new devices. 3) Remember that buying an asset on highs almost never leads to a profit. In the context of economic crisis - it will be very difficult for stocks to grow. FED continues its money withdrawal policy QT - this is bad for all assets.

DraftKings goes bull!DKNG just beat earnings! Having picked up a small number of calls as an earnings play based on the underlying financials of the asset, their market dominance, and the strong technicals provided on the chart, it seems evident that DKNG as a company is poised to make a run. Short-term / scalp opportunity: It will likely gap-fade the open first, so I would watch Friday trading hours closely. If the gap-fade happens, traders should look to go long when the fade pattern completes. Call options with 5-10 days expiry in the $22-23-24-25 strike ranges would be an excellent way to leverage this, depending on risk tolerance and position size. Medium-term / swing trade opportunity There is some resistance around the $25 mark, so this is the level to watch. Assuming this level is broken, traders should go long. Aggressive swing-traders could take position as early as today, but more risk-averse traders should look to take position upon break of this level which confirms the pattern illustrated here. Long-term investment opportunity While DKNG does not pay dividends, the chart shows that it is poised to make a significant run. Investors and other long-term traders should look to enter this position as it has the potential to return over 100% on the asset.

VYNE Biotech Post Earnings VYNE had a favorable earnings report last week. Fundamentally, analysts predict ( linked) approximately a doubling of the shart price in the next year. Like many low share priced biotechnology stocks the price is based on perceived future earnings which can be affected by favorable FDA process, or well-received research at industry conferences and changing financials within the company. In general, they have a low beta meaning these stocks are not general market responsive and run on their own present or future merits. On the 15-minute chart VYNE was trending down into earnings and the pivoted with a reversal into the present. The Luxalgo AI "Echo indicator" predicts an upside of 20% in the next two days before a consolidation period. The "Trendflex" indicator has flipped to postiive and green. I will take this long trade with a stop loss of $0.15 per share and target of $9.00 over two days for a 20% ROI and a R:R of 0.15 risk / $ 1.50 reward for a 10:1> Iwill only take biotechology trades long with a high R:R due to the inheret risk level.

Robinhood ($HOOD) - Riding High, But Earnings Could Bring a CoolNASDAQ:HOOD Robinhood ( NASDAQ:HOOD ), the popular retail trading app, has seen its stock price heat up over the last four days. However, with upcoming earnings on the horizon, we might see a cooling off period for the stock. Recent Run: Over the last four trading days, Robinhood's stock has demonstrated strong bullish momentum. The rising trading volumes and positive price action suggest heightened interest from investors and traders. This kind of rapid price movement often stirs up excitement and speculation, which can fuel further price increases in the short term. However, Robinhood is set to report its earnings soon. Earnings announcements often bring increased volatility due to the uncertainty surrounding the company's financial performance. If the earnings report falls short of market expectations, it could trigger a sell-off, thereby cooling off the recent hot streak. NASDAQ:HOOD Has shown some financial fluctuations that are worth noting. Here's a detailed analysis based on the provided data: Share Values: - The Earnings Per Share (EPS) is at a negative value of $1.17, which indicates that the company is not currently profitable. This is, however, a significant improvement from the previous year when the EPS was -$4.38. - The Book Value Per Share has slightly decreased from $8.44 to $7.79. - Sales Per Share have decreased by 39.41% YoY, showing a drop in the company's sales revenue. Profitability: - Both the Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Assets (ROA) are negative, indicating that NASDAQ:HOOD has not been successful in generating profits from its equity and assets. - However, the Gross Profit Margin is high at 91.016%, showing that Robinhood has been able to retain a large proportion of its sales revenue after direct costs. - The Operating Profit Margin and Net Profit Margin are both negative, indicating the company is not currently operating profitably. Activity Ratios: - The Total Asset Turnover is quite low at 0.05819, showing that Robinhood is not effectively using its assets to generate sales. Financial Ratios: - Robinhood doesn't have any long-term debt, which is a positive sign for its financial health. - The Financial Leverage has increased, indicating that the company has been relying more on debt to finance its assets. - The company has a quick ratio of 0.84975 and a current ratio of 1.41, both of which are indicators of short-term financial health. The ratios suggest that Robinhood should be able to cover its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets. Valuation: - The Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio is negative due to the company's negative earnings. - The Price to Book (P/B) ratio is at 1.0447, which is relatively low and may indicate that the stock is undervalued. Growth Rates: - Revenue growth rate is currently negative at -25.185%, indicating that the company's revenue has been decreasing. In summary, Robinhood is showing signs of financial struggle with negative profitability and a decline in sales per share. However, the company has a strong gross profit margin and no long-term debt. It is also important to note that the EPS has improved significantly, which may indicate a potential turnaround in profitability. Investors should carefully evaluate these factors and consider the company's future prospects before making an investment decision. Risk Consideration: While the recent uptrend might be enticing, it's essential to consider the inherent risk involved. Rapid price increases can sometimes precede sharp declines, particularly if the surge isn't backed by strong fundamental performance. As such, investors should be cautious and ensure their investment decision aligns with their risk tolerance and investment strategy. Conclusion: Given the recent run and the upcoming earnings, NASDAQ:HOOD presents a fascinating scenario for traders and investors. The forthcoming earnings report could be a pivotal event that either sustains the momentum or triggers a cool-down period. As always, investors should approach with caution and consider their risk tolerance and investment goals before taking a position.

A Breakthrough Resistance, Earnings on the HorizonNYSE:DIS Disney ( NYSE:DIS ), a leading name in global entertainment, recently broke through a significant resistance level at 103.58, showing potential for further upside. With a soon-to-be-released earnings report and strong fundamental performance, the stage seems set for an exciting play. Technical Outlook: Disney's stock price broke through a key resistance level at 103.58 on May 8th then shortly fell after. This shift suggests a possible bullish sentiment in the market. Coupled with the upcoming earnings report, this breakthrough could act as a catalyst for a retest of this level and potentially push the price towards the next target level at 106.25. Fundamental Performance: Disney's financial performance shows encouraging signs. The Earnings Per Share (EPS) has grown by 36.60% YoY to $1.82, a positive indication despite it being lower than the 2018 figure. The Book Value Per Share and Sales Per Share have also grown YoY, suggesting an increase in the company's underlying assets and revenue growth. The company's profitability ratios have improved, with an increase in Return on Equity (ROE), Return on Assets (ROA), Gross Profit Margin, Operating Profit Margin, and Net Profit Margin. These figures suggest improved cost management, operational efficiency, and overall profitability. Disney's activity ratios show an increase in Total Asset Turnover and Inventory Turnover, indicating more efficient use of assets and inventory management. In terms of financial health, Disney has reduced its Long-term Debt to Capital ratio and Financial Leverage, suggesting a decrease in risk as the company has become less reliant on external liabilities. Valuation and Growth: Disney's current P/E ratio is higher than its 5-year average, which might suggest overvaluation, while its lower Price/Book Value ratio could indicate potential undervaluation based on net assets. A comparison with industry averages would provide a more comprehensive perspective. The company has shown positive revenue growth. However, the EPS growth rate is negative on a 5-year average, indicating some earnings instability. Conclusion: Disney's stock presents a compelling opportunity, with the recent technical breakout and robust fundamentals. Investors, however, should consider the mixed growth rates and valuation signals. As always, thorough research and possibly consultation with a financial advisor are recommended before making any investment decisions.

Wendy's - Strong Dividend Growth Amidst Profitability ChallengesNASDAQ:WEN , the well-known fast-food chain, presents a mixed bag for investors. While the company has managed to increase dividends and improve sales, a drop in profitability and free cash flow, along with an increased reliance on debt, may raise concerns. 1. Earnings and Profitability: Over the last twelve months, Wendy's earnings per share (EPS) decreased by 8.67% to $0.82, indicating a drop in profitability. This is further emphasized by the decrease in both the Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Assets (ROA), suggesting the company's efficiency in utilizing its assets and equity has declined. Furthermore, the gross profit margin has dropped by 6.58% to 50.256%, and the net profit margin has decreased by 24.80% to 8.4643%. This could be a concern for growth-focused investors. 2. Dividends and Book Value: On the brighter side, Wendy's has shown a robust growth in dividends, increasing its payout by 14.00% to $0.50 per share. This is a positive sign for income-focused investors. Moreover, the book value per share has increased by 7.49% to $2.19, indicating an increase in the company's net asset value. 3. Cash Flow and Debt: NASDAQ:WEN free cash flow per share dropped by 14.14% to $0.73, indicating a potential liquidity challenge. Also, the company's increased long-term debt to capital ratio and financial leverage indicates a higher reliance on debt, adding to the company's financial risk. 4. Valuation and Growth: The P/E ratio is higher than the 5-year average, suggesting that Wendy's might be overvalued at the current price. However, the higher dividend yield could be attractive for income investors. Revenue growth is positive, yet the decrease in net income and EPS suggest lower profitability in the future. Conclusion: Investors considering Wendy's should weigh the strong dividend growth and positive revenue trend against the concerns of profitability, cash flow, and potential overvaluation. As always, it's advisable to consider your risk tolerance and investment goals before making a decision.

Bullish Reversal Expected for Occidental Petroleum (OXY) NYSE:OXY Occidental Petroleum (OXY) experienced a sell off on May 8th, with a decrease of $1.73 (-2.85%). The stock has a very strong support level at $58.64, and I believe that if OXY reaches this level or falls slightly below it, a bullish reversal is likely. This pattern is similar to what happened on May 4th, 2023. Traders should also be aware that OXY is scheduled to report earnings after the closing bell tomorrow. We anticipate a potential bounce for OXY at the strong support level of $58.64. If the stock hits this level or falls slightly below it, we expect a reversal to the upside, similar to the price action observed on May 4th, 2023. Our target prices for this bullish reversal are: 1. Target Price 1: $60.11 2. Target Price 2: $61.16 Occidental Petroleum is set to release its earnings report after the bell tomorrow. This event could introduce additional volatility and impact the stock's price in either direction. Traders should monitor the situation closely and be prepared to adjust their strategies based on the earnings results. In summary, this trading idea suggests a bullish reversal for Occidental Petroleum (OXY) at the strong support level of $58.64, based on the technical analysis from May 8th. However, traders should be cautious and prepared to adjust their strategies in response to the company's earnings release tomorrow, which could lead to increased volatility in the stock's price. As always, it is essential to manage risk and maintain proper trading discipline when executing any trading idea.
