The money will get even faster.The Federal Reserve is unveiling its new "FedNow" system - it will allow banks to send domestic payments instantly. Even at midnight Saturday and even on a holiday. Now all payments are processed in old systems and their processing takes several hours or even days. With the new, everything will become much faster. But, as always, there is one "BUT!" - If you provide full access to individuals, they will be able to withdraw and cash out any amount in a short time. That could prove a problem for smaller banks. Therefore, most likely the system will work in full access only between banks and enterprises. And individuals will have full access only to repay loans/mortgage debts. Source: CNN

MKTX - The OpportunityWhat a magnificent company. Total debt sits at around 80mil$ with net income of 250mil$ at a profit margin of 35% in 2022. Before 2019, their debt was 0$. This leaves them with highest debt to equity of 0.13 in 2019. Profit margins range from 34% to 44% several years back. This metric is great in itself but adding consistent, rising revenue makes it stellar. The company always has cash on hand. Free cash flow closely matches net earnings, consistently, year over year. In 2022 it was 290mil$, of which their total debt represented only 28%. Exceptional. Now, great financial health, impressive earning power, rising revenue, equity and sales lead us to the opening line of this text. But let's look further. At the current price of 250$ per share, using the earnings based valuation, a conservative estimate would indicate that the company is trading somewhere around 80% of its intrinsic value. Acquiring 1$ of this kind of company at 80¢ is worth consideration, at least. Have A Great Day.

CNN: "Does the Fed have the labor market all wrong?"The labor market just won't quit, but this could be another case of "good news is bad news" for the Federal Reserve. The US unemployment rate has been at or below 4% for the past year and a half, and the economy has gained an average of 314,000 jobs each month this year through May. People who need jobs are getting them, and those with jobs are getting paid more. Business and consumer sentiment remain resilient and spending and investment are also proving to be relatively robust. Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic output, grew by 2% in the first quarter. But while job growth is a sign of a healthy economy, Fed Chair Jerome Powell has said that he wants to see more slack in the labor market in order to bring inflation down. If there are too few people chasing too many jobs, he says, wages will rise and add to upward pressure on prices. What's happening: This week, a slew of new unemployment data is expected to show that US hiring finally slowed in June. Economists forecast that the US added 223,000 jobs last month, way down from the 339,000 added in May. But here's the thing: those forecasts have been way off. They projected sharp drops in hiring for April and May; instead there was increased employment. And so in order to get unemployment back to where it thinks it should be (5%), the Fed keeps pushing interest rates higher. But some economists are starting to wonder if it will ever get there. For decades, economists have said that the natural rate of unemployment — in a healthy, stable economy — was 5%. But in April, the unemployment rate reached 3.4%, with the 12-month average of unemployment reaching a record low of 3.6%. "Growth and unemployment rates at these levels are not only a sign of an extraordinary recovery from the previous recession, but also are a sign that this is not your parents' labor market," said RSM US chief economist Joe Brusuelas. "Today, we think the natural rate of unemployment is closer to 4%, which reflects a mixture of efficiency gains driven by technology and demographic factors that dampen overall unemployment." The efficiency of searching for jobs online and a newfound ability to work at home means that there's less friction in finding employment than ever before, he said. That may permanently lower unemployment rates. Plus, the mass retirement of baby boomers, slowing of immigration rates and long-term health impacts of Covid have also permanently altered the labor market. Why it matters: These changes have led many economists to say that the labor market doesn't matter anymore, said Kathryn Rooney Vera, chief market strategist at StoneX. The gig economy, generational differences, and baby boomer retirement make this " unlike anything we've seen," she said. "You have so much Fed tightening, and the most forecast recession in my lifetime, but consumers have not tightened their belts at all whatsoever." People clearly feel good right now, said Vera, and when people feel good their habits of consumption don't change. In an economy where consumer spending accounts for about 70% of America's gross domestic product, you would have to have big negative detractors from the rest of the economy to really cause a recession. "The economic expansion will just not die despite the twin inflation and interest rate shocks over the past two years," said Brusuelas. Perhaps it's time to accept that this is the new normal. Coming up: The May Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) and jobless claims are due out on Thursday and Government unemployment numbers for June come on Friday morning. Source: CNN Business

Can FTT trash turn into phoenix and give 1500%? 🦄 In 2022, one of the most significant events that turn crypto markets is the collapse of FTX exchange. However, native token of this exchange is still traded on some other exchanges. It may seem funny, but probably this trash wrapper can be resurrected and give fantastic profit. Why? 🤨 In recent months, several news have come out that the company is returning part of assets to its investors. And this is really surprising, because according to bankruptcy article, under which this company went, they may not do this. The strange thing is that in 9 months native FTT token has not yet been delisted from many crypto exchanges. Why trade token of an exchange that has not existed for 9 months? 🤔 In a couple of minutes you will understand everything. The fact is that FTX owes more than $ 3 billion to its largest creditors. Of these, it owes almost $1.5 billion to the 10 largest funds. In total, FTX can have over 10,000 creditors! All of them are interested in returning this debt. Such large funds and exchanges once invested in FTX: Binance, Sequoia, Multicoin and Kraken Ventures, etc. And such big players dont like to lose money. And recently there was news that FTX may restart in soon future 🎪 Yes, I understand that all this sounds extremely unconvincing and I myself did not believe in it until I saw it ... 🤯 Look at this chart 👆 After exchange went bankrupt - trading volumes of the native BYBIT:FTTUSDT token increased significantly. There were no such volumes even during existence of exchange! Moreover, such volumes are not on one, but on all exchanges where this token is traded. Some big players is collect coins from market very cheap. Probably in future there will be news that the exchange is restarting and under this news people will massively run to buy coins, inflating the price, and those who bought them in advance (at current prices) will sell them to market, thereby having an incredible profit 💸 If you believe that such a scenario is possible, its logical to buy quite a few coins in order to increase capital. When buying from current prices ($ 1.6), the coin can give up to +1500% when the scenario is implemented. When buying a coin from the lower limit ($0.8) - the transaction can bring up to 3000%! 🪄 That is, $100 can turn into $1500 ✨ What about risk? The exchange has already gone bankrupt, what could be worse? 🤠 But remember that this is an extremely risky transaction and you can lose all invested funds, so no “meatballs”, only money that is not afraid to lose. If you are interested analysis of other assets - please write about it in comments. Also, don't forget to subscribe to my channels to stay up to date with profitable ideas 🦄

Should you buy Yes Bank?I recently overheard a couple of guys discussing investments and stocks at the gym, and one of them told the other to buy "Yes Bank" as it is apparently at a good valuation right now. My take on it? Maybe. Maybe it is available at a so called "discount". But it had also gone down from 400 to 5. Almost 98.5% down from all time highs. Which means it has a lot of investors who are trapped and are just waiting in a little bit of price appreciation and they WILL sell it away. Multiple resistance zones since it has fallen down SO MUCH. Don't we have better stocks out there in the market, with better probability setups? Don't we have better stocks out there, with stronger momentum potential and very less resistances? YES WE DO. Then why take a beaten down stock? Beats me.

APPLE ATH Fueled by Quintet PowerhousesHow did APPLE make a new ATH? In the fiscal year of 2022, Apple Inc. amassed a staggering revenue close to $400 billion. The tech behemoth’s financial forecast predicts an even more dazzling $450 billion by 2023. What’s at the nucleus of this financial prowess? Here’s a dissection of the five products and services that are the linchpins in Apple's revenue generation. 1. iPhone: The Standard-Bearer Since its inception in 2007, the iPhone has been the lodestar in Apple's stellar performance, consistently accounting for over half of the company’s revenue. There was a lull in the iPhone's sales during 2015-2020, but the fiscal years of 2021 and 2022 witnessed a robust resurgence. Could it be the worldwide lockdowns that reignited consumers' affinity for this beloved gadget? One wonders. Moreover, Apple's unceasing innovation has been a catalyst in this resurgence. The company has been adept at understanding and adapting to market trends, releasing newer models with advanced features such as enhanced camera capabilities, cutting-edge processors, and improved battery life. The introduction of 5G technology in the iPhone 12 and subsequent models further bolstered its appeal. With the ever-evolving landscape of consumer preferences, Apple's commitment to innovation ensures that the iPhone continues to hold its enviable position in the market. 2. Services: A Diverse Armamentarium Apple's services segment is a multi-pronged affair. The App Store and Apple Music are the twin pillars, but AppleCare, Apple Pay, Apple TV+, Apple Card, and iCloud storage are significant contributors as well. It's been an upward trajectory for this segment since 2013, with no signs of abating. Additionally, the expansion of Apple's services is emblematic of the company's strategic diversification. As the digital landscape evolves, Apple has astutely tapped into the growing demand for integrated services. Its focus on user privacy and seamless integration across devices has been a strong value proposition. For instance, Apple TV+ enters a competitive streaming market but with original content and collaborations with high-profile creators. Apple’s services segment not only supplements its revenue but also enhances customer retention and creates a more entrenched ecosystem, encouraging users to invest more within the Apple universe. 3. Mac: The Unwavering Pillar The allure of personal computers has attenuated globally, and Mac's revenue plateaued between 2011 and 2020. However, the Mac remains integral to Apple’s ecosystem, not least because of its role in keeping users within Apple's interconnected iOS operating system. In recent times, Apple has sought to reinvigorate the Mac lineup through innovation and integration. The introduction of Apple's own M1 chip, as opposed to relying on Intel's processors, marked a significant turning point. The M1 chip has been lauded for its performance and energy efficiency, giving the Mac a competitive edge. Furthermore, the seamless integration between the Mac and other Apple devices through features like Handoff, Universal Clipboard, and Sidecar has reinforced the appeal of owning a Mac as part of the larger Apple ecosystem. This ongoing revitalization suggests that Apple is far from considering the Mac as a legacy product, and is instead positioning it for a renewed period of relevance and growth. 4. iPad: Upon their debut, iPads were an instant sensation, raking in an impressive $19 billion in the first year. There was a zenith in 2014, after which sales experienced a decline. Currently, iPad sales hover in the range of $20-30 billion, cementing their place in Apple’s revenue mix. 5. Wearables & Accessories: The Rising Contenders Under this category, one finds an array of products including Beats headphones, AirPods, and the Apple Watch. This segment has been climbing the ladder of success since 2015. Notably, AirPods are estimated to constitute a quarter of the revenue in this category. Apple's foray into the wearables and accessories market is indicative of its visionary approach to emerging consumer trends. The health and fitness boom, for instance, has been adeptly capitalized on through the Apple Watch, which offers features like heart rate monitoring, exercise tracking, and ECG. AirPods, on the other hand, have become something of a cultural phenomenon, merging high-quality audio with sleek design. These products are not just revenue generators; they are an extension of Apple's ecosystem, promoting brand loyalty and customer engagement. By continuously innovating and expanding in this sector, Apple ensures it remains not just a heavyweight in consumer electronics but a trendsetter in lifestyle technologies. Conclusion: Apple's ascent to become the first company to reach $1 trillion and subsequently $2 trillion in market capitalization is hardly fortuitous. The aforementioned quintet of products and services is the bedrock of its supremacy. With consumers' unabated ardor for Apple’s innovations and the brand loyalty it commands, NASDAQ:AAPL remains a formidable player in the stock market. Is Apple part of your investment portfolio?

Continue to short gold and expand profitsThe trading signal for shorting gold announced today has successfully reached our take-profit position of 1924 and achieved good returns. The trading signal is as follows: Xauusd:@1930-1932Sell, TP:1924 On Monday today, gold went up from 1920 to rectify, the highest reached around 1933, and then fell back sharply again, so far it has continued to maintain at 1933-1920 to rectify. Therefore, the gold empty order plan we implemented is also perfectly profitable. Gold has rebounded to around 1928 from 1921-22, and the current trend of gold is a bit like a head and shoulders pattern. The vicinity of 1928-1930 happens to be the shoulder position of this 15-minute trend. Next, if it stabilizes at 1928-1930, it is very likely that it will come down again and touch the bottom at 1922-1920. Therefore, my suggestion for the next operation is to focus on around 1928. If you can't continue to go up, you can enter the market and short. The lower target first looks at 1922-1920, followed by the 1910 low. For more trading signals and trading plans, you can follow the bottom of the article to view the details!

Will the backtest hold?Cameco broke out from large triangle pattern in June. This breakout followed a large consolidation for over a year, after the first major leg up from 2020 lows. If the backtest of triangle holds, CCJ and Uranium sector could be setting up for next major leg of new bull market in Uranium. The technical uptrend is backed by strong sector fundamentals given supply/demand imbalances (exacerbated by geopolitical tensions), financial players (e.g. Sprott) supporting Uranium sport price and overall change in public sentiment towards Nuclear. A weakening US dollar would also help the commodity trade more broadly, including Uranium as well as the Metals. URNJ (junior miners) could be a great way to play the sector if next leg up materializes.

Can we snap $16 in coming weeks?NYSE:SNAP was forming an ascending triangle from Oct'22 and we broke the pattern in April upon earnings. But the market seems to be rushing back in the triangle again. With that, the fair value estimated by analysts is $16 as well. It'll be interesting to see if we can close above $10.8x and start moving upwards. The stock currently seems to be following an upward channel (marked in blue) and we're at a crossroad today. Disclaimer: This is not financial advice.

Creating NFT's on XRP Ledger with SOLO 🎨Hi Traders, Investors and Speculators of Charts 📈📉 In the simplest terms, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are digital assets stored on a blockchain. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies, which are often traded on decentralized exchanges, NFTs represent ownership of specific items such as digital art, in-game items, music, and even real-world assets like land or property. NFTs provide a new way to store value and participate in the digital economy. While still in the early stages of adoption, some NFTs have sold for millions of dollars. How NFTs work: NFTs are digital assets that allow for true ownership of digital items. They are created using blockchain technology, which provides a unique record of ownership and prevents counterfeiting. NFTs can represent various digital assets like digital art (JPG, GIFs, PNG), sound recordings, and collectibles. While the blockchain attached to an NFT is unique, the asset itself can be copied. This brings into question the value of NFTs, and creators should understand the market and their audience. Benefits of NFTs: 👍NFTs offer unique and collectible digital assets with inherent rarity and value. 👍NFTs are resellable and tradable, allowing owners to sell or trade them with others. 👍NFTs can be easily authenticated and verified through blockchain technology, providing a transparent record of ownership. 👍NFTs can include smart contracts, which allow creators to receive royalties from every subsequent sale of the NFT. Drawbacks and risks of NFTs: 😒The NFT market is volatile, and the value of NFTs can fluctuate quickly. 😒There's no guarantee that NFT art will sell right away, and it may take time to build interest and find buyers. 😒NFTs can be a confusing concept for many people, limiting their adoption and investment potential. 😒The environmental impact of minting and trading NFTs, resulting in large carbon footprints, is a concern for some. 😒The images of NFTs can still be copied, even though the blockchain technology attached to them is unique. Steps to create and sell NFT art: 😎Decide on a concept for your art and research trending NFT art styles. 😎Choose a blockchain technology for creating and developing your NFT. 😎Set up a digital wallet, which is like a bank account for cryptocurrency and stores your public and private keys. 😎Select an NFT marketplace that supports your chosen blockchain. 😎Promote your NFT through various channels such as a website, social media, blogs, online communities, and collaborations. 😎Upload and mint your art token on the chosen marketplace, paying a gas fee for transaction processing. 😎Price your token based on research and associated costs, and list it for sale on the marketplace. Note that this is not a paid shill or endorsement, relating to the topic above of minting NFT's on XRP, Sologenic is a great option. Sologenic disrupts the asset trading industry by offering a decentralized ecosystem for Tokenized Securities, Crypto Assets, and NFTs. The Sologenic Development Foundation consists of independent developers dedicated to maintaining, expanding, and building the Sologenic ecosystem. Sologenic.com serves as the primary use-case for the Sologenic Ecosystem, providing on-demand tokenization of various assets, including Stocks and ETFs. There's also the mobile app for convenience and wallet creation. Sologenic, the pioneering NFT marketplace built on the XRP Ledger, has received a grant from XRPL Grants. This grant program selects open-source projects that contribute to the growth of the XRP Ledger community. The approval came shortly after the successful launch of the Sologenic NFT Marketplace in January 2022. Sologenic's vision aligns with XRP's goal of revolutionizing decentralized finance (DeFi) by offering decentralized and borderless access to financial products and services while prioritizing security and performance. By leveraging the XRP Ledger's fast and efficient consensus algorithm, Sologenic aims to provide an intuitive and cost-effective platform for NFT trading. The recent introduction of the NFT-Devnet unveiled the capabilities of the new XLS-20d technology, which enables native support for NFTs. Sologenic announced that once the technology becomes available on the Mainnet, a seamless migration of NFTs minted under the current XLS-14/SOLO methodology to the new format will be supported, preserving the history of each NFT. Operating within the same ecosystem as the Sologenic DEX, a decentralized exchange for cryptocurrencies such as XRP, SOLO, and upcoming Tokenized Assets, the NFT Marketplace offers a user-friendly interface for both newcomers and experienced traders. Sologenic aims to bridge the gap between traditional trading and NFTs, empowering users to have full control over their digital assets through their preferred private wallets. Within its first week of operation, the Sologenic NFT Marketplace witnessed the sale of 4,300 NFTs, prompting the introduction of new features. The team has implemented profile and collection verification protocols to enhance user security within the decentralized ecosystem. Noting that this is BULLISH for the price of XRPUSDT, as it increases adoption and market cap. SOLOUSDT has recently released and the price is dirt cheap. It looks like most of the hype and airdrop sales are over, I'd be looking to start accumulation from now onwards (even though I expect the price to drop more, so it will be spot definitely not leverage). I am EXTREMELY bullish on SOLO due to the revolutionary nature of their products including minting on XRP and stock market trading options. _______________________ 📢Follow us here on TradingView for daily updates and trade ideas on crypto , stocks and commodities 💎Hit like & Follow 👍 We appreciate your support !

Peeking into Super SevensIn our previous paper , we outlined how investors can use CME's Micro S&P 500 Futures to hedge beta exposure and extract pure alpha. The paper referenced that the Super Sevens stocks (Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla) will continue to outperform the broader S&P 500 index. Not only do these stocks benefit from passive investing and ESG investing, these firms also have solid fundamentals to back up their gargantuan valuations. Each of the firms in the Super Sevens offer unique value drivers. Each firm is a market leader in its space and has demonstrated resilient earnings capacity and solid growth potential. Still, each also has its own set of risks. Notably, with the Super Sevens the value drivers outweigh the potential risks. AMAZON VALUE DRIVERS • Blistering profits from AWS offering with dominant market share of 33%. • Market dominance in e-commerce and solid supply chain network. • Successful new categories: Kindle (publishing), Alexa (voice assistant), and Prime (video streaming).

TECHNICAL SIGNALS • Technical signals point to solid momentum favouring long position in Apple shares. Oscillators point to buy and Moving averages point to a strong buy. • In aggregate, technical signals point to a strong buy despite Apple trading at near its all-time-high. GOOGLE VALUE DRIVERS • Google is the dominant search engine (86% market share). • Phenomenally successful and effective ad-targeting capabilities. • Heavy investments in future innovation enabling leapfrog into new verticals such as Android, Waymo (FSD & Maps). • Successful early acquisitions such as YouTube, Android, Applied Semantics & DoubleClick (AdSense), Nest (Home Automation). POTENTIAL RISKS • Massive reliance on ad revenues via search for profits. Slowing ad spend as firms cut back on spending. • Non-trivial dependence on cloud revenue for growth exposes them. Slowing cloud revenue growth due to lower corporate IT spending. • Failure to expand into new domains such as social media, wearable tech, and gaming. ANALYST PRICE TARGETS • Across 52 analysts providing a 12-month price target, 40 (77%) having a strong buy rating, 7 (13%) of them have a buy rating, while 5 (10%) suggest a hold.

POTENTIAL RISKS • Increasing competition from automobile majors as well as Chinese EV firms. • Tesla’s brand is deeply entangled with Musk’s reputation. • Dependence on government incentives to make Tesla affordable. • Continued access to battery metal minerals. • Ongoing and unresolved production scaling challenges. ANALYST PRICE TARGETS • Across 46 analysts providing a 12-month price target, 18 (39%) having a strong buy rating, 5 (11%) of them have a buy rating, 17 (37%) suggest a hold, 1 (2%) has a sell rating, and a 5 (11%) hold a strong sell rating. • Average 12-month price target stands at 201, with a maximum of 335 and a minimum of 71.

19/06/2023 Weekly Idea SOXL/WOODWeekly idea of this week is to long SOXL, short WOOD. With Apple's announcement of vision pro in early June, I expect a rise in demand of semiconductors in the supply chain (and also in upstream industries such as metal mining/battery making). WOOD is least correlated to the upstream industries while also reported being shrinking in the latest ISM report. Price spread is currently 0.34. We would stop loss at 10% (ie 0.31) and looking for soft 30% profit target at 0.447 (which was in Mar 2022).

SEC Lawsuits Against Binance and Coinbase: Unraveling Conflicts Hi Traders, Investors and Speculators of Charts📈📉 In recent developments that have rocked the cryptocurrency industry, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed lawsuits against major cryptocurrency exchanges Binance and Coinbase. These legal actions stem from alleged violations related to registration requirements and investor protection. Additionally, a potential conflict of interest has emerged, as former Binance job applicant Garry Gensler now serves as the head of the SEC. This write-up aims to shed light on the sequence of events, the accusations faced by both exchanges, and the implications for the crypto market. A - Binance Faces SEC Charges The SEC filed a lawsuit against Binance, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, and its CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ), accusing them of violating U.S. securities laws. The charges revolve around Binance offering and selling cryptocurrency derivatives to U.S. investors without being registered as a securities exchange. B - Coinbase Sued by the SEC The SEC also sued Coinbase, a prominent U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange, alleging that it failed to properly register its planned lending product, Coinbase Lend. The SEC argues that the lending product qualifies as a security, and Coinbase should have registered it accordingly. However, Coinbase has filed a counter lawsuit aiming to prove how many times they have tried to reach out to the SEC for clarity. C - Conflict of Interest: Gensler's Connection to Binance Prior to joining the SEC, Garry Gensler reportedly applied for a job at Binance but was rejected. Soon after, he assumed his role as the chairman of the SEC. This situation has raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, as Gensler now oversees the regulatory actions against Binance. The SEC are basing their entire case of a few key factos: ❗ Securities laws mandate that companies offering securities or related products to the public must register with relevant regulatory authorities. Failure to do so can result in legal action. ❗ Investor Protection: Regulatory bodies aim to safeguard investors' interests by ensuring transparency, disclosure of information, and adherence to applicable regulations. ❗Cryptocurrency Derivatives are still derivatives: Financial contracts whose value is derived from an underlying cryptocurrency, such as futures contracts or options. ❗Cryptos are Securities: Financial instruments, including stocks, bonds, or investment contracts, that represent ownership or participation in a company or enterprise. Implications for the Crypto Market The SEC's actions against Binance, Coinbase and Ripple signal increased regulatory scrutiny in the cryptocurrency space, highlighting the need for compliance with existing securities laws. However, it also points out how flawed the current system is as Garry Gensler basically has autonomy over decisions that may be conflict of interest. His actions are affecting the entire crypto space as well as stifling innovation since the SEC has been so negligent to work with the blockchain community for solutions. Not even to mention the shorts that were opened on both Binance and Coinbase just before the lawsuit news dropped, picked up by on-chain analysis as seen all over Twitter. This confirms and reiterates that politicians and other people in power have insider information on stocks, as was last seen with the Nancy Pelosi case. 💭Although this seems like an attack on blockchain, all of the above proves how desperately the world needs a new system that is unbiased, transparent and fair. With regulators desperately grabbing for strands of power in any way possible, it actually just strengthens the argument for blockchain and a cryptocurrency-based future. And finally, from a trading perspective, these are some decent discounts, hence I'm labeling this post as long. I'll be bagging up because this is a steal for both Coinbase stock and BNBUSDT. _______________________ 📢Follow us here on TradingView for daily updates and trade ideas on crypto , stocks and commodities 💎Hit like & Follow 👍 We appreciate your support !
