I think you buy IBM and hold it for a decadeIBM dipped after its earnings report Friday and now sits at an important support level. While I'd love for it to dip to $110 or even $100 so I could place a larger buy order there, I have my doubts that it will dip that far. Dips have been hard to come by in this bull market. And while IBM had a disappointing quarter, executives forecasted that it will be back on track to sustainable revenue growth by the end of the year. For a technology stock, IBM is surprisingly inexpensive. I've currently got the stock's forward P/E at about 10.5, and forward P/S at about 1.4. Compare that to, say, Microsoft with a forward P/E over 30 and a forward P/S over 10. In addition to providing a good earnings yield, I forecast that IBM will yield 5.8% in dividends over the next year. Overall, I estimate that IBM has over 17% upside to its median price-to-value ratio of the last four years. The reason IBM is so cheap is that its EBITDA per share has been in a long, slow slide for the last ten years. For the last four years, EBITDA has shrunk over 1% per year. Sales growth over the last four years was barely positive, with a growth rate of 0.01%. However, I'm not convinced that these are the most relevant numbers. EBITDA is not a very good measure of profitability, and in fact its current popularity in the investment world is a bit worrisome. A better metric is IBM's free cash flow, which has grown about 0.5% per year over the last four years. And its dividend has grown about 1% per year. So personally I think the company has already turned a corner to the upside in terms of profitability. Plus, IBM has unusually good ESG ratings and generally positive market sentiment, with put/call ratios looking quite bullish and average analyst price target 15% above the current price. Most importantly, I think IBM has incredible potential as a technology leader. They've had more patents than any other company, by a wide margin, for 27 years running. They're averaging 82 patents per year per billion dollars of market cap, which means you're buying an incredible amount of cutting-edge technology for the price you pay. Of the companies I follow, the next best value in terms of patents-to-market-cap is HPE, with just 26 patents-per-year-per-billion. And IBM's patents are in potentially world-changing fields, like AI and quantum computing. This is by far the best value in the market for a Singularity technology play. And that, more than anything else, is why I think you buy IBM here and hold it for a decade. IBM has crossed into the lower half of its ten-year triangle and has fairly good risk-reward within the triangle from here. Assuming it eventually breaks out of the triangle to the upside, I'd expect it to eventually recapture its 2012 highs over $200 per share.

SNAP Buy setupSnapchat parent company Snap Inc (NYSE:SNAP) showed strength in its advertising revenue in the first quarter. Analysts saw many positives from the quarterly earnings report. Snap's first quarter checked all three boxes of revenue, users and EBITDA that Nowak was watching. Snap’s advertiser base nearly doubled year-over-year in the first quarter. Up-front advertiser commitments grew by more than 50%, including a tripling of year-over0year up-front commitments for commercials from branded advertisers. With initiatives like SNAP’s partnership with Gannett helping in developing relationships with SMBs across North America and integrating those businesses into products like Snap Map. Snap has great potential technically and fundamentally for share price growth.

ADOBE possible FLAG formation !The technology sector is preparing to make a new high. Many stocks are after a consolidation period since September. We can clearly see that ADBE testing its highest high , so watch it. As always, diversify. If the flag pattern will follow through a big move is about to happen, one that worth risking on a trade. Previous pulse waves were relatively smooth. Side note: if you are familiar with Wyckoff theory, SPRING just happened in March... which is also a possible positive sign for a shoot up :)

$TYLStrong support on the trendline & 200dMA(blue). 20dMA (green) crossing upwards through the 50dMA(red) which is medium term bullish signal. Our STOCH is hanging around in oversold territory currently & just recently has a nice hammer candle. Some DD - Tyler Technologies just recently acquired ReadyStub, which makes scheduling software for school districts. ReadyStub works with approx. 1k school districts across the United States & TYL already has 2k school districts as clients. Some would say TYL is significantly overvalued, but the long term return of this company I love. Its projected to grow 10.78% annually over the next five years. They have strong financial strength with a good cash to debt ratio and interest coverage. They are at 30.47 which is better than 75% of the companies in the software industry. $TYL has been profitable 10 times over the last 10 years. Over the past 12 months the company has had a revenue of $1.1 billion dollars. Its operating margin is 15.49% which ranks them better than 82% of the companies in software industry. This is not financial advice, I am not a financial advisor. This is solely my opinion.

QCOMWith a Great ¨in the sector ¨ P/E ratio: 23x Bad PEG 9x (strange here...) bad PB radio 21.6x (the debt weight on this ratio, i guess...) Future Growth 2.6%, (here who really knows ???) now: that ´s what i like a lot apart the P/E ROE (return on equity) 91.2 % ROA Return on Asset 19.0 % (industry average 7.5 %) that mean how well the spending in assets is rentable for the company (that choke to me against the bad PEG number) ROCE Return on capital employed 27.3 % (this means management is far better than the rest of it ´s peers, industry average 9 % ) Overvalued yes ( but less than it ´s peer in EEUU industry) i guess due it ´s debt, a debt which in the counterpart is well managed, the free Cash Flow is enough to cover the nice dividend this company paid to shareholder 2%, as well interest and debt due to it ´s earnings which last year 2020 reached a 53 % of growth over 2019, (seems the debt is an inversion for the future) Mr Steve is the CEO who recently is helping Boeing as well Anyway i ´m not a professional Get advice from professionals about the numbers, to me it looks as i mention in parenthesis to said I ´m more Bullish than JP Morgan Analyst i bet for a $ 200/210 share in mid long term let ´s see how far it goes t ´ll half past May month as i said i ´m not a professional, maybe i ´m saying stupids things either the numbers comes from good and different sources (you have to make your own though) i ´m long on this one. (because of the future, elites seems to have planned for us) which could be good or bad, anyway i ´m always optimist about the future of humanity Good luck Charlie.

TESLA is repeating April 2020! Time to buy?As you see the two charts are fairly self-explanatory. Both in 2020 and now (2021), TSLA had already made a top by early February, formed a MA50/100 Death Cross, followed by a MA50/200 Golden Cross (on the 4H chart) that practically put the bottom behind. The RSI and MACD sequences are also fairly identical. Is it time to buy the carmaker giant again? ** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. ** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- !!

Very CRITICAL Time To Keep Eyes ON This One! (VISL)7-8 YEAR TREND CORRECTION / CREATING A MASSIVE FALLING WEDGE PANDEMIC PRICE AROUND 70 CENTS / NOW MAJOR STRUCTURES ARE STARTING TO SETUP HIGHER LOWS / SHOWING A BUYERS MARKET I AM LOOKING TO ADD POSITIONS AROUND $1.65 - $2.00 $8.86 WAS THE TARGET ACHIEVED FROM PANDEMIC PRICES / 1,000% BANGER! A BREAK BELOW PENNANT WOULD RESULT IN A SELLOFF TO CREATE A MASSIVE DOUBLE BOTTOM AT ALL TIME LOWS. MY VIEW IS A LONG TERM PLAY.
