Tredegar Board Declares Special Dividend of $5.97 Per ShareTredegar Board Declares Special Dividend of $5.97 Per Share
The Special Dividend is payable on December 18, 2020 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 11, 2020.
The Special Dividend is a direct result of our strong cash generation that resulted in cash in excess of debt of $28 million at September 30, 2020, which increased further at the end of October with the closing on the sale of our Personal Care business for estimated net proceeds (after transaction costs, purchase price adjustments and transition services) of $45 to $50 million.
the distribution of excess cash is being supplemented by borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which has a maturity date in June 2024, thereby allowing us to prudently use financial leverage in a low interest rate environment while also preserving available capital to meet the needs of our business units."

Heelys and Reebok Team Up for a CollabHeelys, the original shoes with wheels, which is owned by Sequential Brands Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:SQBG), is excited to announce a new collection with popular lifestyle footwear brand, Reebok. The collaboration features ten signature Reebok styles, with the added Heelys’ wheel technology.
Amongst a number of different collabs that Heelys has recently worked on, this marks the first time that the brand has teamed up with another sneaker brand. The Reebok styles will range in colors, patterns, and shapes – but in typical Heelys fashion, will all have the ability to go from a sneaker to a skate by shifting weight on to the heel.

Boeing drops the landing gear Boeing has been trying to recover after the air industry was smacked to the ground by the pandemic. Since then, the results weren't expected to cover the forecasts of course, so the only current rise in the stock price is because of the pull form the broader market.
Ignore the stats since they are heavily affected by the COVID-19 crisis. Recent days we see red volumes - investors are covering recent profits or losses. We have a run-away gap from 09.11 to cover. Current golden cross gives some hope for the formation of a new uptrend, but before that I think we may see price going down towards the potential drop zone.
Second outplay is for the price to break out from the bullish flag and continue towards the potential target zone.
In both cases I would wait and see how what direction the price will take.

Reality kicks in for NIOHello traders!
I am making a different approach to my charts now and concentrating on stocks (as I have always proffered them before any other instrument).
As stocks are mainly driven by fundamentals - company or policy wise, I am going to use the awesome built-in tools from #TradingView in regards to a company analysis.
I am using the most important key metrics for the performance and evaluation of a company that are looked by the investors - EBITDA, EPS, Net Income and Free Cash Flow.
Looking towards Nio. Indeed a fairy new company, striving to place it's won mark in the electrical auto industry. The steady climb in the price has been backed no more by the promise of a revolution in the auto industry and in trucks - most specifically. FOMO and the overall markets supported by the FED and the good shape of the economy has dragged Nio to "have a piece of the pie" too.
Looking under the hood: All of the stats are negative. So why to invest in a company with negative free cash flow, net income and EPS? Stats are improving, that is for sure, but what can the 2-year-old Chinese company can do against i.e. Tesla?
Volume is getting lower and with recent days we see investors cashing out on their positions. Maybe it's time to see a proper correction in the stock price to maybe be more realistically accurate with the valuation.
In my view, the price can go as low as $30 in the short - term. And $16 long-term. I am staying reserved in investing in the company if results do not improve, or the company indeed shows something truly promising.

Re-uploading the original idea from Nov 24 (which was brutally deleted by the moderators LOL) 👇🏻
Original chart from Nov 24
May be an interesting stock to trade: Buy/Sell Zones indicates a 20-day uptrend. Long-term target is 1 Fibonacci, short-term targets may be lower Fibonacci values. The pre-market shows a small potential recoil that can give a good Long entry point.

Original chart from Nov 24
Original idea was: May be an interesting stock to trade: Buy/Sell Zones Indicator shows that the price is in the green zone, indicating buyers interest. Targets for Long play may be previous highs up to 1 Fibonacci. The pre-market shows a small potential recoil that can give a good Long entry point.
The bias didn't change much - Long may be taken at a potential pullback + extend targets up to 1.618 Fib or even higher.

Stock to watch: TapImmune Inc. common stock (MRKR) - risk-tradeNASDAQ:MRKR
A risky yet interesting trade: Buy/Sell Zones is in the green line, but we should consider it as a pullback - the overall downtrend + bearish momentum.
I may consider Short up 0.786 Fib (where we can see another pullback) but could dip even lower.
Invalidation: closing above 1.75 on higher timeframes (12H, 1D).

The power of this Strategy for long term stocks investingHello Traders
Hope you are all enjoying the weekend.
I just wanted to share a series a stocks trades I am reviewing which have proved to be successful by using the trend based strategy software I use.
The strategy in use I am utilizing mainly on Forex pairs but can be used on stocks as well as indices and crypto.
The example you see here is working the one week time frame on Tesla stock.
Now as we all this stock has climbed and climbed this year but the trend strategy in use picked the potential upward trend as early as last year and presented a buy signal. The stock has gone on to grow 700%.
This could be a very valuable tool for long term stock trading, stock picking and for growing portfolios.
For any more information on the strategy I am using please feel free to message me.

Berkshire Hathaway stock priceBerkshire Hathaway stock has been moving to higher grounds as expected and mentioned in my last stock technical analysis update. As expected the strong demand imbalance created at $175 per share has played out very nicely. Berkshire Hathaway stock price has been moving much higher managing to break all-time high again. Warren Buffet and most of his clients must be very happy people again.
As explained in a previous forecast for Berkshire Hathaway, we expected the stock to rally strongly from $176 per share and so it did. The all-time high has been broken and created another strong imbalance around $209 per share. Will Berkshire Hathaway stock price drop down there? We will see. Given the bullish strength of all US indexes, It might continue to rally much higher creating new imbalances.
