BUY PENN around the $70-75 range for a move up to $105!Penn National Gaming, Inc. is an American operator of casinos and racetracks, based in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania.
It operates 44 facilities in the United States and Canada, many of them under the Hollywood Casino brand. The company also controls a 36% stake in Barstool Sports.
With the US consumers sitting on over $5.4 trillion of additional savings as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic we believe that Penn National Gaming will benefit from the large consumer spending spree that we expect to sweep the US in the second half of 2021. In addition to that, people who like to bet on various sporting or racing events were severely limited in terms of betting options throughout the last 12-16 months. With things slowly but surely going back to normal despite the new highly contagious Delta variant, we believe that Penn National Gaming is uniquely positioned and will likely see strong revenue and earnings numbers in Q3 and Q4. Last but not least, let's not forget that Barstool Sports is basically a digital content producing company focused exclusively on sports. Thus, with the return of the NFL pre-season starting in August and the actual season in September, Barstool will be a strong driving force for Penn National Gaming's stock moving forward. Lastly, we should also point out that Barstool Sports launched the Barstool Sportsbook back in September, 2020 which is basically a betting app, and handled over $11 million in wagers during its first week of operations!
It definitely seems that the stars are aligning almost perfectly for PENN and as a result of that we believe that the stock will be trading above the $100 mark by mid-September latest.
From a technical standpoint the chart also shows the presence of a strong bullish interest around the $70 level. All major daily indicators including the Stochastics, RSI, MACD and Bollinger Bands are also pointing to a strong reversal in play.
Our targets for the 8-10 weeks will be $105 and $120 respectively.
Good luck guys and remember to always do your own research as well!
NAS100 Hourly Needs More Commitments From BullsFXCM's NAS100 is in the bullish area on the daily chart on the left. The hourly EMAs and stochastic are in bullish mode but each is showing a convergence/loss of momentum. If the EMAs are able to switch to diverging, developing angle, and separation, it may indicate that the short-term traders are starting to align with the daily. A movement of stochastic to 80 level and maintenance of that level (blue arrow) increases the chance of a successful trade. We note the sensitivity of NAS100 to yields, so these will also play a role in determining trade outcomes. Trend following indicators may be useful in this case as a potential exit tool. Stop under hourly support in conjunction with risk management techniques.

The latest closing price of $9.25 is a new 52 weeks high closing for $SUP.

FSLY growth name bottomed, breakout coming?Growth names are hard to predict right now but SNOW did start a nice reversal lately. Could others start to follow? Looking at June calls from 45-50 rang to try to catch this move. Some volume above this demand shelf could send it into this gap. Over 48 and it could explode. Being in now will allow some rolls to higher longer dated calls to catch that move with less risk.

XL: Real Revenues, Real Product, My Favorite EV SPAC PlayXL is a maker of hybrid and fully electric engines for trucks and cargo vans. The company sold over 4,000 units in 2020 and are projecting 9,200 this year. They do not however only sell hybrid/electric engines, they also recently got into the charging market. They announced a partnership with UBS arena (NY Islanders stadium) to deploy 1,000 charging stations in the parking ramp. This is a first of it's kind deal in the industry, and I believe this is just the beginning for XL in terms of partnerships with large event venues.
Anything tied with EVs and SPACs has been absolute mania recently. The pullback across the board though has given great buying opportunities into well run, real revenue producing companies however. And I strongly believe XL is one of them.
Technically looking at it as well, it broke it's $18 support level when the entire market tanked late February. It now is showing signs of a reversal coming of a Tom Demark niner as well as momentum picking up after the company appearing on Mad Money. I believe the stock will quickly get back to it's $18 support level, and eventually make a push back to the $26-28 range.
I am using that $26-28 range as a 6-month price target.
Palantir (PLTR): In-depth Fundamental and Technical AnalysisPalantir is a mysterious company that helps governments and corporations integrate their data, decisions, and operations into one platform. They use big data and machine learning technology to offer solutions in both the public and private sector. While it has never been confirmed by the firm itself, it is said that Palantir played a significant role in catching Osama Bin Laden.
In this post, I'll be going over Palantir's fundamentals, financials, and technicals, in order to assess whether this company is a good buy.
This is not investment advice. This is for educational and entertainment purposes only. I am not responsible for the profits or loss generated from your investments. Trade and invest at your own risk.
Background
- Palantir’s founder is none other than Peter Thiel.
- During his Paypal days, the company faced a crisis due to a scam led by the Russian mob.
- Because of this, Paypal started nurturing groups of experts who could track and predict scam transactions.
- They developed a software that analyzes data patterns, which allowed them to identify and prevent these schemes.
- Peter Thiel thought that this software could potentially be used for many other things.
Products: Gotham and Foundry
- The CIA, they had collected a tremendous amount of data since 911, but weren't really sure of how they could utilize it to catch terrorists.
- So the CIA became Palantir’s first client, and Palantir received an investment from In-Q-Tel, which is the venture arm of the CIA.
- With the CIA’s support, they develop a software called Gotham, which allows Palantir to analyze huge data sets in real time, and visually demonstrate the result of the analysis through connective relations and patterns.
- Gotham became recognized as the best analysis tool that the government has seen, and later became used by the CDC, NSA, FBI, the Pentagon, and the Marine Corps.
- This software is used to track suspicious activities, the flow of potentially illegal funds, track missing children, or the spreading course of a disease.
- With this experience and technology, they work with JP Morgan to develop a new software called Foundry.
- Foundry is a solution for private firms that analyzes data to prevent financial fraud or illegal transactions.
Financials Analysis
- If we look at the quarterly income statement, the gross profit has dropped significantly in Q3 2020 from the 70% range to 50% range.
- This is due to the compensation provided to the company’s employees through company shares.
- Then we can also see that R&D expenses have increased significantly in the same quarter as well, and this is also due to the stock based compensation they’re giving out.
- Regardless of this outlier, Palantir is a company that invests a lot on research and development. They are spending 30% of their revenue on R&D every quarter.
- And as you can also see, Palantir is still technically not a profitable company, as their operating income is in the red.
- Let’s take a quick look at their Q4 2020 results. Last quarter, they did $322m in revenue, which is a 40% increase compared to the same quarter last year.
- In 2020 total, they did a little over a billion in revenue, which is a 47% increase compared to the revenue in 2019.
- Looking at the average revenue from Palantir’s top 20 customers, the revenue increased 34% compared to last year, marking $33.2m.
- The average revenue per customer also increased by 41%, marking $7.9m per customer on average.
- This could be interpreted as a sign that Palantir’s clients are happy with the service they get.
- In 2020, the revenue they generate from governments increased a whopping 77%, marking $610m.
- In 2019, the commercial revenue covered 53% of the entire revenue, but in 2020, the government revenue outweighed the commercial revenue in terms of proportion, as it covered a little over 60% of the entire revenue.
- The commercial revenue, on the other hand, wasn’t as impressive as the government revenue, as it only increased 22% compared to last year.
- Using the PSG ratio, I calculated the 2023 estimate for Palantir's stock price to be anywhere between $36.31 to $48.38.
Technical Analysis
- We can count Elliott Waves on Palantir's 4 Hour logarithmic chart
- We can see that the corrective abc waves have completed its formation, and that this entire chart is part of a bigger impulse wave.
- What's important to note is that the price has retraced over 61.8% from all time high levels.
- The price has managed to stay above the 0.618 fibonacci retracement support level.
- The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is trading near oversold regions
- The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has formed a golden cross, and has started to form bullish histograms
Conclusion
Palantir is a company that is in an increasingly growing industry, but is reliant on government contracts for the time being. While this means that they are a monopoly in some way, they have also set their strategy to target commercial clients in the coming years as well. Their cutting edge technology has been approved both by government and commercial clients, and justify the growth potential of the company. Using simple assumptions to apply the PSG ratio in calculating the fair value of the company, we can estimate the stock to reach between $36.31 and $48.38. Given that the stock is currently at $24.19, this is a 41-100% upside. Technical analysis also aligns with the bull case of the valuation, indicating that the stock has recently been oversold, and that an entry around $23 would be reasonable.

What Analysts Got Wrong about the Recent Volatility.Since I'm not a professional analyst, I've sunk many hours of research in the past week to understand the recent move in the market on a deeper level. Here are my findings. I hope you find this informative.
I've been hearing different analysts' opinions about the recent move in the stock market. I heard the money is moving from tech stocks to banks, or from growth stocks to value stocks. I'm here to say that neither is true. NASDAQ:GOOG is a tech stock and it's been rising. NASDAQ:COST is a value stock and it's been falling. Observe different stocks and you'll find numerous examples. The recent move is rather about companies in debt vs companies with free cash flow . It turns out that when interest rates are raised, it can be predicted with certainty that more money is going to flow into servicing existing debt rather than into productivity. Watch this talk with Brent Johnson to understand this concept, minute 50 to 60. Banks, who recently had their debts quantitatively eased, have more room to buy corporate bonds from companies like GM and Ford. This debt is used to service older debt. The big money, which understands this debt-based economy well, knows precisely where value is going when interest rates rise. Big money used their tried-and-tested calculations and decided to move their investments from free-cash-flow companies, to debt-generating companies. That's what's been happening, and that's the reasoning behind it.
However, there is a point the smart money is missing and they keep missing it and never learn. There is much more value to reap from technology and innovation than there is in loan interests. This value of tech is not priced into their tried-and-tested calculations. It's probably too uncertain for them. But realize that when companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, and Tesla create value through technology, they are carrying the rest of the useless debt-generating economy on their backs and creating prosperity for the entire nation and for the world. Real value is in productivity. The United States has moved slowly after WW2 from an industrial exporter to a liquidity and debt exporter of sorts, which also reflected on the US's internal economy. And that weakened the industrial sector over the decades and bubbled the financial sector to an overwhelming extent that it's sucking more and more money from productive businesses and pouring it into existing debts with the purpose of buying more time. The retail investor should learn and understand this in order to position themselves with high conviction on the side of technology and simply hold stocks like Tesla for a decade. You are already benefiting the economy by saving money aside and putting it in the right place and of course the reward is high.
Let me know your thoughts. I probably made mistakes and left some statements in need of more elaboration.
