Fundamental Analysis
To keep things simple, I like this stock for a CALL due to their market competitors financial statements. After looking at their financials the main thing I noticed in comparison with Coke was the NET MARGIN%. Pepsi ranged from 10.32% to 12.66% while Coke (9.95%to 9.03%). These were quarterly comparisons and it tells me that Coke isn't profiting as much as they could be compared to other market leaders. Even though both Pepsi and Coke will strip their Super Bowl Ads, Pepsi will still sponsor the halftime show!
Technical Analysis
Stochastic RSI: White line is rising up towards the green line yet, still at a low point on the indicator which means price could be retesting the current resistance zone.
Fibonnaci: Ranged from the potential "Current Support Zone" to the "Current Resistance Zone". I'm looking for a retracement of the previous high being $147.37. I'm expecting a retracement of anywhere between 30% and higher.
MacD Squatter: White line is still below the zero line and momentum is losing strength. Tells me that price could be moving up.
Current Price:$ 141.70 After Hours

Fundamental Analysis
To keep things simple, I like this stock for a PUT due to their market competitors. They are in competition with some other big dogs in the industry who have better financials than Cisco in my opinion. After looking at their financials the main thing I noticed in comparison with Zoom and Microsoft was the NET MARGIN%. Cisco ranged from 22.75% to 18.22% while Microsoft (15.06 %to 17.48%). These were yearly comparisons and it tells me that Cisco isn't profiting as much as they could be compared to other market leaders.
Technical Analysis
Stochastic RSI: White line is above the green line which means price is overbought while also being in a resistance zone.
Fibonnaci: Ranged from the potential "Current Resistance Zone" to the "New Support Zone". I'm looking for a retracement of the previous low being $43.72. I'm expecting a retracement of anywhere between 30% and lower.
MacD Squatter: White line is still above the zero line but momentum is losing on smaller time frames.
Current Price:$ After Hours $49.50
Strike Price: $45.37 and lower if lucky.
Stop Loss: $55.11

LTCUSD Long?The Fibonacci on the left tells me that price retraced the "resistance" up to 50%. The Fibonnaci on the right tells me that (based off the new potential support zone) that price should retrace up to the "new resistance" anywhere between 50-61.8% or more. Let's see that happens.
I use the 50% - 61.80% for me because price moves three ways and i never feel like it'll retrace 100% off of a support or resistance zone. I have price at least reaching $168 and hopefully that's a new support zone to continue its upside movement.
What do you think?
GM Quick Dip?Seems like they have taken the correct measures in stay afloat. However, price is as high as it's ever been and I just don't see a continuation to the upside. Seems like they are depending on SUV sales and EV plans. Seems like a Hummer '21 release by fall. Earnings Report coming up. Q3 was strong for them. I'm taking an educated guess on price dipping down a littler after the released report.
What do you think?
GE Short before LongI have price testing the resistance zone which is going on now. I can see price dipping down $10.63 - $10.99 which is a support zone to then testing $11.60 and up. For this company, it seems as if price always tests a resistance before dipping. We might be on pattern. I dont expect nothing crazy like Gamestop but get in where you fit in! Two opportunities coming up at market entry!
Let me know what you think!
GBP/NZD Post Brexit Hike?I've been reading about the Brexit deal. Pick one winner...UK or EU? Right now I would say UK...seems like since the deal closed the GBP has gained strength. I'm sure the UK is happy about leaving the EU partnership. They can operate on their own terms and trade tax free and without quota.
"The agreement between the EU and UK on a new partnership sets out the new rules that apply as of 1 January 2021 in the relationship between the EU and the UK. It covers areas such as:
trade in goods and services;
a level playing field;
fisheries;
aviation and road transport;
social security;
UK participation in EU programmes;
internal security." (website)
None of my analysis are fact. I do believe that the UK will eventually get stronger with the Brexit deal being done. Yet, it will take some time. My technical analysis tells me that price may drop a little more into the support zone (1.86-1.82) before it tests 50%-61.80% retracement of the previous high of the 2.0's (1.96-1.94) and price did hit this range last August. Price broke the current resistance zone in April of '20 and shot back down to the current support zone.
Somebody tell me why it wouldn't test the most recent high at some point? Boris Johnson might be related to Magic Johnson the way he may pull this off for the UK!
Virgin Galactic Holdings Going to the Moon?Imagine recreational space flights available to the community....yea you heard that right!
Imagine over 400 flights throughout the year serviced to people that looks like you and me!
.....Exactly why I'm going all in on this company!
I do believe aliens are real and I feel that there is always more to be desired within the human race and I only see a bullish future for this space company especially considering this is a first within the intergalactic community with hopes of giving a recreational experience to interested minds. Space exploration is key and I feel like this company will thrive in space travel for the average consumer. This company will help the society tenfold simply off the ability to conveniently launch trips for leisure as well as research. I see a very bright future for this company!
I bought 2 shares @ $23. Price is at $27.56 now and in my opinion...it will continue to thrive upwards. Seems as if price is currently breaking through a resistance zone between $21-$27 and should turn the current resistance into a new support. Based off of the stochastic RSI, it looks like there has been a dip on the daily time frame. I have price at least retracing 50-61.80% of the previous high which mean that price should at least test or surpass the range of $29-$30. I truly feel like this stock will continue to rise. I do feel that price will break through Feb '20 high of $40...Let's see what happens.
I'm no expert. Simply an amateur trader!

XAUUSD Bullish PerspectiveBrief Notes:
1. USD is failing. I feel that it will gain back some strength in 2021. However, Gold is being valued more globally in my personal opinion.
2. Price point has been flagging down since August '20. Won't flag down forever.
3. COVID uncertainty mixed with technological developments from society in general tells me that this could be a good sign for commodity market.
4. Seems like price has rejected the new support between 1805-1750 and will shoot towards the new resistance.
5. Price should test at least 50% of the most recent trend upwards. However, I personally feel that price will break through the 50% and 61.80% and should test the $20K range at some point this year.
Let me know your thoughts. Not an expert. Just a hobby.
There are two possibilities on GBP/AUD with short-term...Sterling is still displaying a degree of resilience on BoE rate recalibration grounds due to Governor Bailey’s NIRP push-back yesterday, but also on a slightly more positive note from UK PM Johnson who claims to see signs that national lockdown is stemming the pandemic spread. Cable has rejected 1.3700 again, but bounced from sub-1.3650 lows after a temporary breach of a Fib retracement level (23.6% of the move from 1.3450 to 1.3701 at 1.3642) and Eur/Gbp is filling what looks like pre-fix RHS orders just above 0.8900 after failing to extend the downside through the round number. Aussie under 0.7750 pre-NZ building consents and retail sales by card payment, plus Chinese trade data, with little lasting support for Nzd/Usd from ANZ retracting its forecast for the RBNZ to adopt NIRP. There are two possibilities on GBP/AUD with short-term upside favoured.
PUMA Leap? Lamelo Ball Favoritism ...Three huge signings 2020:
1. J-Cole
2. Lamelo Ball
3. Neymar Jr.
Enough said...More notes in markup. I feel like Puma and UA are the new kids in town and have alot of momentum going for them! I love how PUMA is becoming a must-have in Futbol culture.
I see nothing but elevation from this point on. It already surpassed the 0.618% of the Fibonacci. I used the tool to retrace the previously overbought price trend @ $11.73 being the high in December 2020. From a technical standpoint, it seems as if price has bounced off of a new resistance which i believe was made in November '20. I see it broke through the new resistance which was around $9 in my opinion. It also seems as if there are dips being caught on the stochastic between the 51.39- 39.42 levels as marked. I believe a new support is being created and with so much fundamental analysis, I see a nice potential leap forward in regards to this brand in general.
Lamelo is the next big thing and this is why I'm buying in. I see alot of potential in this brand in comparison to an UA. Oh....one last thing....American Football technology and sponsorship...just watch..
