FTM Speculative Asset Play - DeadCOIN?FTM is one of those coins that is in a pretty uncomfortable place for me, Not much going on in the Fantom Ecosystem and a ton of new competition has sprung up over the past three years, However from a technical standpoint FTM looks incredible right now, Id recommend accumulating at least a small bag in case these targets do come to fruition. Support Zone : $.2570 - $2670 Major Resistance Zone: $.2960-$.3210 Target 1: $.3863 +31% Target 2: $.4880 +64% Target 3: $.6101 +105% Fantom is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) smart contract platform providing decentralized finance (DeFi) services to developers using its own bespoke consensus algorithm. Together with its in-house token FTM, Fantom aims to solve problems associated with smart-contract platforms, specifically transaction speed, which developers say they have reduced to under two seconds. The Fantom Foundation, which oversees the Fantom product offering, was originally created in 2018, with the launch of OPERA, Fantom’s mainnet, coming in December 2019. Fantom is an open-source decentralized smart contract platform for DApps and digital assets that was created as an alternative to Ethereum.

The last Bull runCrypto: The Last Bull Run Introduction With the recent surge in cryptocurrencies and the ongoing bull run, many investors and enthusiasts are wondering if this is the last opportunity for massive gains. In this article, we will discuss the current state of the market, the implications of the dot-com bubble, and the potential future of cryptocurrencies. The Current Bull Run: Déjà Vu or Something Different? As we witness the monumental growth in the value of cryptocurrencies, it's hard to ignore the similarities to the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s. Just like then, we are witnessing an influx of coins with no real-world use or purpose. The market is flooded with meme coins and other seemingly meaningless assets. The question is, how long can this trend continue? The Impending Market Crash: Flushing Out the Useless Coins While the current bull run may seem exciting, experts believe that it is the prelude to a market crash that will ultimately flush out the useless coins and tokens. Just like the dot-com bubble, the market is yet to mature fully. As regulations tighten and investors become more discerning, many of these coins will fade away. The Last Great Money Movement This bull run could very well go down in history as the last great money movement for cryptocurrencies. The gains we are witnessing now may not be sustainable in the long term. As the market matures, we can expect a significant shift in investment strategies and a more cautious approach from investors. The Market Differentiation: Separating the Winners from the Losers In the post-bull run era, the market will undoubtedly be different. We will witness a clear differentiation between coins with real-world use and those without. Coins that can showcase genuine utility and solve real problems will stand the test of time. The Big Flush: Saying Goodbye to Meme Coins and Others One of the key consequences of the market crash will be the disappearance of meme coins and other assets that lack substance. These coins rely on hype and speculation rather than offering any tangible value. As the market matures, investors will begin to prioritize authenticity and innovation, leaving behind the less meaningful tokens. Looking Beyond the Bull Run: So, what does the future hold for cryptocurrencies beyond this bull run? While the gains we are currently experiencing may not be sustainable, it doesn't mean that cryptocurrencies are going away. In fact, the market is simply evolving, and we can expect to see more stable and reliable cryptocurrencies emerge. Conclusion In conclusion, the current bull run in the crypto market is indeed a last great money movement for many coins. However, it also signifies an upcoming market crash that will separate the winners from the losers. The market is maturing, and with the introduction of regulations, we can expect meaningful changes. It's crucial for investors to stay informed, differentiate between valuable projects and meme coins, and adapt their investment strategies accordingly. Is this the last big bull run? Yes, this bull run may be one of the last opportunities for massive gains in the crypto market. What will happen after this bull run? We can expect a market crash that will flush out useless coins and lead to a shift in investment strategies. Will meme coins and others disappear? Yes, meme coins and other assets without real-world use are likely to disappear as the market matures. What does the future hold for cryptocurrencies? While the gains may not be as significant, cryptocurrencies are here to stay, and we can expect the emergence of more stable and valuable coins.

Lumn in Accumulation Phase ?Despite all the negative news around LUMN, negative cash flow, negative EBITDA and finally negative outlook from market analysts, LUMN remains a pioneer in data infrastructure and fiber provider in the US market + the market cap ($1.5B) is far below it is total equity fair value ( MUN:10B ). in other words, the fair price to the current situation is around 7 time the current stock price with negative outlook, this can be reduced by 50% which means 3,5 * 1,4 == around $5. (this is my personal analysis taking the worst financials case of LUMN for the next 4 quarters). The weekly and monthly charts show continues sell off with possible accumulation phase just started, in the coming months this can be confirmed if we see price stabilization around $1 and volume remains high. As per Fintel data, the institutional ownership percentage is dropping for the (at least) second quarter in a row. This is an opportunity to target 2026/2027 at least, less then 5% of the capital to be allocated. return may exceed 1000% (not guaranteed in shorter term), loss of 100% is highly possible if the new CEO fails to save the company + worst debt with higher yields. Position open, target price $10. Good luck everyone :)

Simple Investing Strategy, Affordable for all!Hey! Everybody wants to get rich. But not many from us know what it takes. In this article let's discuss Investing income from annual percentage yield (APY) . Key point is the percentage of income can be different from your location, but lets make our calculations from 8.0% APY. Why this strategy is Affordable for ALL? Well, for calculation I've used only $161 of monthly investing. I understand for some person this is nothing, and for another it is a lot. But you can calculate your own affordable investing amount per month and use it. Consistency is the key! Another point why its affordable, its because you don't need to have a lot of money at the beginning. You can start from minimal deposit allowed by service/fund/bank (APY provider) where you allocating your funds. Please, note, this is simple and affordable investing strategy. But still THIS IS NOT 100% SAFE STRATEGY... There are several risks of losing your money after all. Mostly this risks depends on APY provider, so I recommend to change your APY provider over a time, and to secure your funds use multiple providers. Let's see how we get this numbers and first of all it is important to keep consistency during all your investment journey. Remember, this way can make you millionaire and can create a fortune for your kids. To understand how this works, let's see what is Compound Interest: Compound interest is the concept of adding accumulated interest back to the principal sum, so that interest is earned on top of interest from that moment on. The act of declaring interest to be principal is called compounding. Financials institutions vary in terms of their compounding rate frequency - daily, monthly, yearly, etc. Your savings account may vary on this, so you may wish to check with your bank or financial institution to find out which frequency they compound your interest at. I used monthly compounding to calculate final value. With savings accounts, interest can be compounded at either the start or the end of the compounding period (month or year). Compound interest formula Compound interest, or 'interest on interest', is calculated with the compound interest formula. Multiply the principal amount by one plus the annual interest rate to the power of the number of compound periods to get a combined figure for principal and compound interest. This formula is base of all interest calculations. To get easier process of calculation, I have used online Compound Interest Calculator. Best numbers we can get if we start investing early, but it happens we see right information too late, and we ask ourselves "Is it good time to start?" — I can say for sure, YES! Always good idea to start investing in your savings account. Trading is trading, but investing is a little different. You can invest in markets, or in savings accounts. Now let's see "worst case" — you starting your investing journey at 40 years old. How much you can earn on savings account until 60? I have calculated it with calculator, and used only $161 investments/savings per month with APY of 8%. You can see after 20 years of savings this amount of money (pretty much affordable for many people out there) you will get about $95,464 Final Value. Very impressive. Imagine if you can save more from your income each month... For example if you can save $1000 monthly, you will get $592,947 Final value after 20 years on your Savings Account. Middle scenario — investing for 30 years on your savings account. Until 60 you can earn solid $241,547 Final value, investing only $161 per month! Now if you can invest about $500 per month from your income you will get amazing $750,147 Final value. And of course best scenario — start investing on savings account early from 20y.o. This way you can get $565,799 Final value by 60 y.o. And if its possible to save more, let's say $250 monthly, you can get $878,570.30 Final value by 60 y.o. So in order to get rich, you don't need to invest a lot of money. Just make you investments consistent, and improve your financial education. Hope this article can inspire you to create your savings account and plan your future. Best regards, Artem Crypto

Halfway thereWe're halfway through the year of 2023. Mega Cap earnings season begins in July. The 8 largest companies by market capitalization are AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, NVDA, TSLA, BRK.B, META. Here's an 8 split frame, 6 month chart with financial data. AAPL 3.05 T +49% YTD Earnings 8/3/23 MSFT 2.53 T +42% YTD Earnings 7/25/23 GOOGL 1.53 T +36% YTD Earnings 7/25/23 AMZN 1.34 T +55% YTD Earnings 7/27/23 NVDA 1.04 T +189% YTD Earnings 8/23/23 TSLA 830 B +113% YTD Earnings 8/19/23 BRK.B 745 B +10% YTD Earnings 8/7/23 META 735 B +138% YTD Earnings 7/26/23 Revenue = The total amount of money brought in by a company's operations, measured over a set amount of time. EPS = Is calculated by subtracting any preferred dividends from a company's net income and dividing that amount by the number of shares outstanding. PE = The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is the ratio for valuing a company that measures its current share price relative to its per-share earnings. PB = The Price-to-book value (P/B) is the ratio of the market value of a company's shares (share price) over its book value of equity.

PEG ratio = The price/earnings to growth ratio (PEG ratio) is a stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio divided by the growth rate of its earnings for a specified time period. Generally, a PEG below 1 means a stock is undervalued. Current ratio = The current ratio is Current Assets divided by Current Liabilities. It's a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations or those due within one year. In general, a current ratio of 2 or higher is considered good, and anything lower than 2 is a cause for concern.

XRP - BULLISH CHANNELRenewed interest in XRP is driven by three key indicators: a significant surge in real trading volume, a shift from declining to bullish market capitalization, and a consistent pattern of higher daily price lows. These positive signs point to a potential price surge, despite past challenges and legal developments surrounding XRP's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse. Investors are closely watching these developments for investment opportunities. Risk Disclosure: Trading Foreign Exchange (Forex) and Contracts of Difference (CFD's) carries a high level of risk.

PayPal: Turbulent Journey, Promising FutureI am a big supporter of PayPal but I believe its share value will get worse before it gets better. According to its Q2 2023 results, the online payment company experienced a deterioration in its liquidity with a cash ratio difference (cash/total current liabilities) of -0.04 when compared to its Q2 2022 results. The Q3 2023 Earnings Call taking place on Wednesday (1 November 2023) should set the tone for what to expect in the coming months, a steeper drop in share price or a much desired recovery. PayPal has had a rocky year with the retirement of its veteran CEO, Dan Schulman, who was officially succeeded by Alex Chriss last month. Because Schulman's departure was planned and not sudden, the change in leadership is not a concern for me. The online payment giant also recently launched its own stablecoin showing its willingness and capability to evolve with the times. All-in-all, I believe PayPal's shares have been mostly rocked by factors outside of its direct control (rising treasury yields, pandemic lockdowns lifting, recession fears, etc) so I am anticipating the Q4 2023 to be a pivotal moment as I believe that's where we will see how Chriss has managed the company. Despite the expected turbulence I am going to load up on LEAPS calls as I believe this company is extremely undervalued and is due for a strong recovery once the current macroeconomic disturbances subside. If the price continues to slip, I can see us hitting a support around $40 which will be the lowest the stock has been since February 2017. While this would be difficult to stomach, it offers an exceptional purchasing opportunity. A potential near-future recovery to the $58.50 level is also possible; $65 would be the next stop if the $58.50 ceiling is surpassed. Speculative foresight: noting Elon Musk's prior history with PayPal and his long-term desires for operating an online bank (a desire he has expressed exercising with the newly acquired Twitter, now X, platform), I believe we can expect an attempted merger or acquisition from Musk once he has extinguished the current fires at Tesla and X. In my opinion, an attempt to takeover PayPal would attract high volatility which could launch PayPal's shares to prior highs. This is all speculation of course and probably will not occur for several years, if at all. NASDAQ:PYPL

My Favorite AI Play - Bandwidth (BAND)Bandwidth (BAND) is my favorite AI play right now. The chart looks really bad! I get it. Today, it trades for below even its IPO price. But the reason why I think it's an AI play ready to double, possibly triple, is a fundamental reason that I'll explain in this post. First of all, let me state something very interesting about Bandwidth - today it's one of the worst performing stocks in the entire market since 2020 and 2021. I don't entirely know why that's the case, but I do think the market has overreacted. Let me now get the bad news out of the way: when BAND's stock was flying high, management took out several large loans to expand faster and grow globally. Those gains are starting to be realized, but it's key to mention this as the debt profile is still somewhat high. The question now is: can they keep paying it off? They're on target to have little to no debt within the next few years. Okay, so why is Bandwidth an AI play? To understand this you need to know that Bandwidth is essentially the connector for data that is transmitted over the web. Bandwidth's platform helps data, messages, voice calls, video calls, email, and more travel from Point A to Point B. For example, when you make a call on Zoom or even Slack or Google Hangouts, it's highly likely your call is being routed over Bandwith's network. The point is, Bandwidth is the toll keeper, the train conductor, for most modern communications that are triggered at scale. So how does AI fit into this? That's where this gets good. All of these AI companies NEED a company to help deliver the information to their end consumer. If OpenAI creates a chatbot that works on text message or sends push notifications or can even speak over calls, Bandwidth will most likely be the resource that delivers that information from business to consumer. What's even more interesting is call centers and the future of talking to call centers to get help or support. In one scenario, you upload all your most frequently asked questions, pair it with an AI service, and then let users call that AI service over the Bandwidth network and now an AI customer support agent is solving issues at scale. This is just one example. I could go on and on. But that's my play! I own a little Bandwidth and will be watching closely in the coming years.

Buterin & ETH Foundation sell ETH ! but why?Is ETH price about to Fall ? Ethereum Foundation's large scale selling in recent years record and recently the Ethereum Foundation sold 15,000 ETH . In 2021, EF did sell 20,000 ETH at a high point Vitalik .eth wallet was the first to move 200 Ethereum (worth about 400k) to the US based Kraken exchange. following Buterin's transaction, the Ethereum Foundation did the same but on a much bigger scale, they shifted 15,000 ETH to Kraken as well. together with Buterin's crypto, that makes 40 million USD in fiat It seems that Buterin just sells Ethereum from time to time in more or less the same amounts , in the middle of February, he sold 210 ETH for roughly 325k in the USDC that chunk of ETH was also sold on Kraken too. Back then, Ethereum was trading at 1,545 dollar. On March 13, he moved another 200 ETH to Kraken, selling it at the price of 1,656 per coin On Friday that ETH had reached an eight month high in flows to crypto exchanges, the analytics team believes that this may be a sign of an upcoming volatility increase similar to what it was like after the collapse of FTX in early November and the Merge in mid September. In a tweet that followed, Santiment added that while "sky-high active deposits" of ETH to exchanges are the highest since November last year, ETH is now showing signs of decoupling from BTC and may be about to break above the $2,000 level. A record amount of ETH was burned at the end of this week, that was down to the meme coin season unwrapping at the moment, as you knoq the majority of meme coins like PEPE or Floki run on Ethereum and so are being actively moved with high ETH fees, providing a great opportunity to burn ETH and decrease the circulating supply. The Ethereum Foundation holds around 0.298% of the total ETH supply which in today’s market cap, that would put the value of the foundation’s ETH holdings at nearly 700 million dollar In total, the foundation said that ETH accounts for 80.5% of its crypto and non crypto holdings, many have quickly pointed out that previous large-scale ETH selloffs by the foundation have preempted market downturns. In November 2021, the foundation sold a cache of 20,000 ETH worth around $9.6 billion,this was swiftly followed by a major price correction as the market accommodated the increased circulation. it also coincided with the beginning of the 2021 ETH bear market.n fact, such selloffs by the foundation have long been connected to peaks in the ETH price cycle. and for followers of the market, both the foundation and Buterin are closely watched for the timing of their sales, which have often been on the money. Consider that in 2019, Buterin said in an interview that he had convinced the foundation to sell 70,000 ETH “basically at the top” of its price range at the time. He added that the decision had paid off and had allowed the foundation to double its funding runway. Certainly, the organization has been busy recently and has developers to pay. For example, in the first quarter of 2023, it allocated $4,370,418 across its various research, development, and community programs.the foundation is also an active investor in the wider crypto ecosystem. In this role, it needs to be prepared to make high-value purchases. Last year, the foundation took part in a $10.5 million Series A funding round for the workplace encryption startup Skiff. Skiff enables secure account creation and document sharing using an Ethereum wallet through the Ethereum Support Program, the foundation also offers grants to projects helping to build the Ethereum ecosystem. what do you think about Eth foundation strategy?

Market Meltdown: Wall Street's Shocking Symphony Unveiled!In the heart of financial dynamics, where numbers narrate tales and markets hum a melody, we stand on the cusp of a riveting chapter. The surge in bond yields, the resonance of conflict in Gaza, and the corporate crescendos echo through Wall Street, crafting a narrative that captivates and challenges. As we step into this unfolding saga, each market movement becomes a note in a symphony—a symphony where every rise in bond yields, every geopolitical tremor, and every corporate revelation plays a crucial role. Join me as we unravel the Overture of Wall Street, decoding the melodies that shape the financial landscape and beckon us into the intriguing world of global finance. Bond Yields Surge: Unraveling the Threads of Economic Sentiment The recent surge in the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, cresting above 4.9%, serves as a seismic event with far-reaching implications. Traditionally, higher yields spell caution for equity markets, diminishing the allure of stocks in comparison to the safety of fixed-income assets. The market's reaction, characterized by a 1.3% dip in the S&P 500, underscores the anxiety stemming from heightened borrowing costs for both corporations and households. This surge in bond yields is not merely a statistical blip; it's a harbinger of a delicate dance between the Federal Reserve and the broader economic landscape. The specter of swelling U.S. debt looms large, and as Bloomberg Economics warns, the increase in yields could act as a drag on economic growth, akin to the impact of a Fed rate hike. Geopolitical Turmoil: A Catalyst for Market Volatility The geopolitical tableau adds a layer of complexity, with the Gaza conflict acting as a catalyst. The deadly explosion at a Gaza hospital and the subsequent cancellation of a summit with Arab leaders have injected fresh uncertainties into the market psyche. Beyond the tragic human toll, the conflict reverberates through financial markets, notably elevating oil prices. Oil, the lifeblood of economies, rose nearly 2% to $91.50 a barrel. The Israel-Hamas conflict and optimistic outlooks for Chinese demand became twin engines propelling oil's ascent. Investors, already grappling with bond yield tremors, now face the added challenge of navigating an energy market rife with geopolitical uncertainties. Corporate Performance: A Tapestry of Triumphs and Tribulations Against this backdrop, corporate performances play a pivotal role in shaping market trajectories. Morgan Stanley's stock stumbled after reporting a drop in quarterly net income, emblematic of challenges within the financial sector. Simultaneously, Procter & Gamble's shares surged as the company reported a quarterly profit boost, underlining the impact of strategic pricing decisions in an inflationary environment. The corporate stage is set, with companies wielding the power to either fortify or erode market confidence. In the case of United Airlines, a 7% early decline in shares following a cut in year-end earnings forecasts exemplifies the tightrope walked by companies in a tumultuous market environment. Market Performance: A Symphony of Red and Green As the final notes of the market day resonated, the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Industrials bore the weight of a 1.3%, 1.6%, and 1% decline, respectively. The Russell 2000, reflecting smaller companies, faced a more substantial 2.1% dip. This symphony of red underscores the impact of mixed corporate reports and the tightening grip of rising Treasury yields. The decline is not confined to domestic shores; the MSCI World index echoes the sentiment, falling in tandem with its U.S. counterparts. The markets, in their collective wisdom, are sending signals of caution, reacting to the interplay of global and domestic variables. Deciphering the Market's Sonnet In conclusion, Wall Street's current state is akin to a sonnet, weaving together verses of bond yield surges, geopolitical tumult, and corporate performances. Each stanza contributes to the larger narrative of market sentiment, reflecting the delicate balance between risk and reward. Investors must read between the lines, understanding that every rise in bond yields, every geopolitical tremor, and every corporate report shapes the verses of the market's sonnet. As we navigate these turbulent waters, an agile and discerning approach is paramount. The future remains unwritten, and while challenges abound, opportunities await those who can decipher the intricate melodies emanating from Wall Street's financial symphony.

#STXRES #JSE - Resources bouncing off Long term levelsResource are very likely the place to be over the medium term. Satrix Resources which is a basket of the biggest resource stocks on the JSE is bouncing off a massive level of previous long term support which has now become support (Change of Polarity). This is a great area to accumulate for the long term in my opinion. Will be happy to review after a few months but for now 3x hold of support shows the bulls mean business. Constituents below: ibb.co
