Facebook Target - Long Term Investment IdeaFacebook will have fallen 30% if we reach the lower end of my target. Time and Price don't align in this analysis but this could make sense given the probability that an accumulation base will form over several weeks, and I believe it will take place around the $150 - $155 range. Facebook's business will benefit massively from the following trends and fundamental reasons: 1. Advertising on Facebook's platform - Big companies vs. the current small companies. 2. Increase in ad rates for these big companies. 3. $150 price target equates to a 19 P/E which is under the historical average and industry average of 33.49 4. Instagram is going to show massive revenue and profit numbers going into 2019. 5. Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger will be monetized 6. Oculus is the leader in the VR megatrend 7. Facebook is a cash cow and will be able to buy the next big trend - think Instagram

Paper Portfolio vs S&P500 - Update #1This is the first update for the video series here to grow the paper portfolio on TradingView in an attempt to beat the 'S&P index real time. Normally, I will compare the portfolio to the market, talk about weak vs strong stocks and sectors & go into what I will be changing moving forward. The portfolio has been able to get ahead of the general market and below are the specific percentage changes if they weren't clear in the video: AUGUST 2018 Portfolio = +1.83% 'S&P Index ('SPX) = +1.36% 'SPY ETF = +1.57% So far there is only a small difference between the market and the portfolio, but with adjustments and the market moving however it wants to, the changes should be expected to be more different over time. In general and in brief, my process of dealing with my portfolio according to my trading strategy is to check the health of my portfolio to determine where weakness is coming from, then run a stock screen according to my very own specific criteria to pick out the stocks that have high chance of performing very well, and finally an analysis of the market sectors to make sure changes I make will make sense. So this time around my portfolio suggested reducing exposure to stocks in Energy, Financials and Industrials. My stock screen, compared to the previous stock screen run at the beginning of the portfolio, suggested reducing exposure to stocks in Energy, Financials, Technology & Utilities and increasing exposure in Basic materials, Consumer goods, Healthcare and Industrials. The market sector ETFs from the video also echoed a similar idea, and so the orders will be placed for Monday. I am considering putting more weight in the stocks that have a better chance of doing well than before but we will see what happens over the next month. Again this is will not be a one time "get rich quick" process with excessive risk-taking or gambling, but a more disciplined approach to trading. It takes some work and it can be tough to maintain discipline, but after a while it becomes routine. Again, monthly updates on the current state of the portfolio will be continued and the next one can be expected to be made on 10/06/18 (1 month from now) and every month from that point onward. Starting capital - $10,000 Risk per trade - 1% Max. positions at a time - 20 Investment style - Equities long only (no short-selling, only stocks >$7, technical analysis > fundamental analysis) The stocks shown will not be shown as investment advice but rather shown as a form of education only. Comment on what you would like to see or hear more about! Thanks and stay tuned (will try to keep videos not too long)!

General Market OverviewThis video is the first of many, and I discuss the behaviors of the sectors and potential markets that are poised to trend in the near future. The "freshest" sectors quietly trying to start a new trend are the Industrial and Consumer Discretionary Sectors. The sectors (along with their industries) I think should be on every trend follower's radar are: XLF - Financials Sector (including some real estate stocks): setting up to break out of its 5 month range; main movers are the bank industry (not the Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley kind of banks) XLI - Industrials Sector: breaking out today with the possible trend beginning here in an unpopular sector; main movers are the service industries XLK - Technology Sector: obvious uptrend that should be followed with caution, but is getting ready to continue; main movers are the software and IT services & consulting industries XLP - Consumer Staples Sector: in early stages on uptrend with possible correction or continuation in the near future; moved by multiple industries XLRE - Real Estate Sector: also in the early stages of possible uptrend; main movers of sub-sector have been REITs XLU - Utilities Sector: also in the early stages of possible uptrend; main movers are electric utilities industry XLV - Health Care Sector: uptrend already in motion with test of all-time highs today, with great potential for trend continuation; main movers are medical equipment and managed health care industries XLY - Consumer Discretionary Sector: breaking out today with the possible trend beginning here in a sector where the media does not favor much; main movers are the apparel, discount, footwear and auto industries (mostly retail) I am going to do more videos on how I diversify my portfolio, and how to create such a portfolio according to what is moving in the whole market so it would be great to get feedback from this video that I can include in those, and also ideas on material you would like to see more of! Thanks, enjoy.

XLK Elliott Wave Analysis Suggesting More UpsideHello Traders, In this Elliott Wave analysis, we will have a look at the Technology ETF. The ETF ended the cycle from 06/28/18 low in red wave 1 at the peak of 07/25/18 (74.26). The internals of red wave 1 unfolded as a 5 wave Elliott Wave impulsive structure. Where black wave ((i)) ended at 06/29/18 peak (70.08), black wave ((ii)) pullback at 07/02/18 (68.73). Followed by an extended black wave ((iii)), where the internals also unfolded in a 5 waves structure. Black wave ((iii)) ended at 07/13/2018 peak (72.72) and black wave ((iv)) pullback at 07/16/2018 (71.68) followed by black wave ((v)) of red wave 1 which ended at 07/25/18 peak (74.24). Below from that peak, the correction in red wave 2 ended at 07/30/18 low (70.30). The internals of red wave 2 unfolded as Elliott Wave Flat structure where it ended black wave ((a)) at 07/26/18 low (72.68), black wave ((b)) pullback at 07/26/18 peak (73.35) and black wave ((c)) of red wave 2 at 07/30/18 low (70.30). Up from there, it ended the cycle from 07/30/18 low at the peak of 08/09/18 (73.91) in black wave ((i)). Below from there, it is currently in the progress of correcting the cycle from 07/30/18 low in 3-7 or 11 swings before moving higher again. Near-term focus will be on the 100%-123.60% equal legs extreme area of 72.45-72.15 from 08/09/18 peak where we expect a reaction higher for new highs or at least a 3 wave’s bounce. We don’t like selling it and prefer more upside as long as the pivot at 68.28 low in our distribution system stays intact.

OPENING: XLK AUG/SEP 72/76 BEAR PUT DIAGONALBOT +1 DIAGONAL XLK 100 21 SEP 18/17 AUG 18 76/72 PUT @2.75 Paid 2.75 (debt is 69% of the width ) Breakeven @ expiry $73.58 -39 delta, .96 theta Max Loss : $275 Max Profit : $126 Notes: Opened a bearish trade here fade the recent rally and add some negative deltas to balance the portfolio. Following another great trade idea from NaughtyPines! (link below) Rationale: Any number of reasons a summer 'tech-wreck' could evolve: trade war, AAPL cutting mobile parts orders from suppliers, weakening Chinese economy etc ... The top holdings are; AAPL, MSFT, FB, GOOG, V, INTC, T, VZ, CSCO (not sure how V is a 'tech' name?) Some fundamentals on XLK : The forward PE is near 19, and P/B ratio over 5. There's almost no yield, so it's all about the estimated earnings growth , which if revised down should get punished. Based on a _DCF valuation model: XLK fair value around 75 by year end... based on 2019 earnings estimates and assuming 13.6% earnings growth . For the same deltas you could short 40 shares of XLK and borrow $2850 worth of stock, but would be charged the overnight borrowing rates as well.

Death Crosses AboundA few sectors are signaling troubles ahead, with their 50 day MA's crossing below their 200 day MA's. This chart picture shows SPY (upper left) as a broad gauge of market action. It has yet to experience the "death cross." However, the industrial stocks measured by XLI (upper right), materials stocks measured by XLB, and financial stocks measured by XLF have all experienced the death cross. Given their importance as a proxy for future growth, this seems to bode poorly for broader markets.
