Sell Broadcom on this Symantec Acquisition, $20B Down The TubesBloomberg broke the news on Wednesday July 3rd, 2019 that Broadcom is in talks to buy struggling Symantec. This is a terrible idea on many fronts and $AVGO closed down 3% on the news. I believe that investors do not want this semiconductor company to waste $20 billion on a cybersecurity company (and why pick the one that seems to be struggling the most?). Certainly makes sense that we head lower over the next few days/weeks. A few references: AbbVie buying Allergan - stock closed down 15% Salesforce buying Tableau - stock closed down 3% (but it hasn't dropped further)

Intel above trendlineIntel leape above its trendline earlier today, but then bounced hard off channel top and back below the trendline. However, it's now peeking above the trendline again, which bodes well for tomorrow. Trump's announcement over the weekend that trade talks are resuming is good for Intel not only because it offers the promise of resolving the trade war, but also because Trump immediately lifted the Huawei ban. Intel has lots of exposure to Huawei, and Broadcom recently revised its guidance downward because of the ban. With the ban lifted, we shouldn't have to worry about Intel doing the same. Unfortunately, tomorrow is a "bear" day according to the Stock Traders' Almanac-- a day when the major market indices have declined in value more than 60% of the time. So based on those historical seasonal patterns, this is a risky trade.

Trade-war relief - July 2019Trump and Xi Ping have come to a tariff truce at G-20 this weekend. Trump is now using Huawei (previously blacklisted, banned, etc.) as a bargaining chip, allowing TEMPORARILY, U.S. companies to continue doing business with China's Huawei. Here is a list of Top 20 U.S. based Huawei suppliers . I believe most of them will rally this month (July 2019). - Percentage number next to stock symbol is the revenue exposure to Huawei Intel (INTC) - 1% Advanced Micro Device (AMD) - 2% Broadcom (AVGO) - 6% Qualcomm (QCOM) - 5% Microsoft (MSFT) Nvidia (NVDA) CommScope (COMM) - 2% Texas Instruments (TXN) Seagate Technology (STX) - 4% Micron Technology (MU) - 2% Qorvo (QRVO) - 11% Flex (FLEX) - 5% Skyworks (SWKS) - 6% Corning (GLW) - 2% Analog Devices (ADI) - 3% NeoPhotonics (NPTN) - 47% Western Digital (WDC) Lumentum (LITE) - 11% II-VI (IIVI) - 8% Finisar (FNSR) - 8% Maxim Integrated (MXIM) - 4% Keysight Technology (KEYS) - 2% Marvell Technology (MRVL) - 1% Note: Trump can go back on the Huawei deal at any time.

AMD Bullish, Long, Fib+EW PredictionsrThis is not financial advise. For entertainment purposes only. MY OPINION AMD has had some good news, and solid growth despite the trade war between US and China. Finding support at the .618 Fib retracement at the end of a rising wedge, especially to end the week or month, could spark a full breakout to the ATH of $47.50. However, when adjusted for inflation, that is $70.64 in today's USD. I'm setting next targets to watch between $36 and $42 if resistance is successfully broken here. Of course, this is all bearing that AMD continues to have few issues and the company stays profitable. Anything can happen over the course of a few years.

Micron pops on non-GAAP earnings report gimmickMicron has been looking bearish in what appeared to be an emerging downward channel. However, after hours today it popped two and a half dollars per share on the basis of a supposed earnings beat. News outlets are reporting that earnings "crushed" estimates. The problem is that the analyst estimates are for GAAP earnings, and Micron's GAAP earnings missed by several cents per share. By disclosing non-GAAP earnings, Micron used a common gimmick to appear to have beaten estimates that doesn't reflect actual strength in the company's fundamentals. Whether investors will notice this is another matter, however. The stock may stay up tomorrow regardless. But I personally wouldn't invest in it. To Micron's credit, it did slightly beat estimates of GAAP revenue even though it missed on earnings.

Why I'm ignoring technical chart and buying SOXL after hoursTrading View's technical chart is flashing a sell signal for SOXL, but my proprietary algorithm is saying buy. These indicators are flashing strong buy: Slope of the Hull moving average Previous day's change Difference between 20-day exponential moving average and 20-day simple moving average These indicators are flashing a weak sell: 20-day simple moving average slope Distance from Hull moving average This indicator is flashing a fairly strong sell: *Distance from 20-day exponential moving average My proprietary algorithm aside, there's also seasonality to consider. Today is a "bear day" according to the Stock Trader's Almanac, meaning that on this date the market historically has fallen more than 60% of the time. However, the next week and a half have historically been bullish. So historical patterns suggest that today's decline was an anomaly and that the market will rally tomorrow or Friday. As always, this is just an idea about how the market may move, not investment advice.

AMD Short setup $29.8 to $26ish. Fib/Horiz resistanceSide note, The magnitude of the bounce the US economy has had since the bottom in DEcember has been insane and unprecidented. I've never seen a bottom not get tested and just fly up vertically. Especially with poor GDP estimates and economic outlook data. I was pretty heavily short back in Feb, so that hurt a bit, but all you can do is learn from your mistakes and keep moving. This is a self explanatory chart again. We're at the 0.786 fib retracement, and we're at a previous point of resistance from September 05 2018 at $29.94. We just went up almost 12% today, and it looks like a good time to pullback a bit in the next week. My stoploss is $31.

Swing trade YANGAfter Trumps tweet of raising tariffs, China's market is temporarily crashing. YANG is a China Direxion Bear X3 ETF. The index is having great gains. I expect it to reverse on Friday 10th / Monday 13th. Analysts still expect the trade to happen between China and USA. At this point consider buying YINN (China Bull X3 ETF). Other X3 ETF's to consider: SOXS (Semiconductors Direxion Bear) is on the same path. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Information An exchange-traded fund, or ETF, is an investment product representing a basket of securities that track an index such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
