The company's strong operational efficiency positions it as a leader in the auto retail industry, nearly doubling the margins of competitors like Lithia Motors (LAD) and AutoNation (AN). - Competitive Positioning & Growth Outlook: Carvana’s EBITDA quality is superior due to lower non-cash expenses, enhancing long-term sustainability. The company expects sequential EBITDA growth in Q2 and targets 13.5% EBITDA margins within 5-10 years. -Peer Comparison: - Lithia Motors (LAD): EBITDA margin at 4.4% (up from 4% YoY), facing tariff-related headwinds that could impact pricing and demand. - AutoNation (AN): SG&A as a percentage of gross profit rose to 67.5% in Q1, expected to stay between 66-67% in FY 2025, pressuring margins further. -Options Flow & Institutional Activity - Key Levels: $350/$370 Recent institutional flow activity indicates strong positioning around $350/$370 strikes, potentially signaling a vertical spread in play rather than outright selling: 1️⃣ Momentum Confirmation: - CVNA has strong upside momentum following its Q1 results, reinforcing a bullish outlook for near-term price action. - Institutional traders may be accumulating bullish vertical spreads rather than unwinding positions. Vertical Spread Setup ($350/$370 Strikes) - Long Call ($350 Strike) → Signals expectations for further upside. - Short Call ($370 Strike) → Caps max profit while reducing cost. - Breakeven Price: $359 → CVNA must close above $359 for profitability. Profit & Risk Zones - Above $370: Maximum profit achieved. - Between $359-$370: Partial profit zone (spread remains in play). - Below $359: Spread loses value, making recovery dependent on extended upside momentum.

VIC hope you are watching it.--- ### 🇻🇳 Vin Group (VIC): An On-the-Ground Perspective from Vietnam 📈 After first visiting Vietnam in 2022, it became clear Vin Group is doing a lot of interesting things in Vietnam. To me, Vin Group seemed like an obvious thing to get exposure to a lot of the growth in Vietnam. * **Accessibility Note:** HOSE:VIC is not easily available outside Vietnam, other than within Vietnamese indexes. --- ### The NASDAQ:VFS Anomaly & Free Float Insights While in 2023, NASDAQ:VFS (VinFast) went to prices that defied all logic on US markets, US media most likely had no idea about $VIC. All you needed to do was see that HOSE:VIC held most of the NASDAQ:VFS shares (I thought it was 80%, but some suggestions indicate it might have been closer to 99%). * **Key Takeaway:** A lot of retail investors won't understand free float risks. Starting my investing journey in the crypto space, I am well versed in dealing with assets with low float. **(Image 1: VFS Marketcap)** ` ` *VFS Marketcap* **(Image 2: VIC Marketcap & The Disconnect)** ` ` *VIC Marketcap – Note: VIC is in VND, VFS in USD. At one point, HOSE:VIC (approx. $12B USD) held VFS shares valued vastly higher, highlighting a significant market disconnect.* > Needless to say, I wanted exposure to the things Vin Group was doing but chose to wait rather than join that insanity. --- ### An Expat's View: Seeing Vietnam's Transformation zmiany As of Q4 2023, I moved to Vietnam. Living here, I get to see what's going on. Though I am still a foreigner, I get a different perspective. > You see, when you look in the mirror every day, it's hard to see the changes. Then you see that family member you haven't seen in a while who still thinks you're 6, but you're actually 16. This is the case in Vietnam; many people came years ago and think it's the same or worse, or perhaps just watched a movie. --- ### Understanding Vietnam's Economic DNA: Đổi Mới and its People 🚀 To understand economics in Vietnam, you must first understand **Đổi Mới** – those changes are the start of economic success in Vietnam. * **Human Capital:** * First-generation university/college-educated individuals are very common. * First-generation English, Chinese, or Korean speakers are gaining more access to markets outside Vietnam. (Korean is significant for FDI and cultural influence like movies/TV). * **The Vietnamese Grit:** Many Vietnamese had very rough younger lives, and grit is a character trait they could win prizes for. It's seen in an extreme you don't find in other places. They just won't quit. * **International Relations:** International business requires friendliness, and they choose to be friendly with everyone. > Investing is about backing winners so that you can win with them. --- ### Navigating Vin Group's Diverse Portfolio: **1. Real Estate Market & HOSE:VIC :** The real estate market has struggled after the incident with Truong My Lan. A lot of stuff is empty and unsold. I have no clue when Vietnamese housing will top or bottom. While HOSE:VIC is largely made up of real estate, I believe that with lower mortgage rates now, they will sell properties they have and don't want, moving debt and assets off the balance sheet. **2. VinFast ( NASDAQ:VFS ) & Xanh SM 🚕:** * **Indonesian Expansion:** Watch for expansion into Indonesia – a massive, often underestimated market. (Unless it's someone who follows National GDP rankings globally and other macroeconomics.) * **Path to Profitability:** VinFast just needs to reach a point where it's no longer cash-flow negative. * **Long-Term Value:** The money will come from the Vision training they are doing. * **Xanh SM (Taxi Service):** * Now the largest taxi company in Vietnam. * Creates organic demand (buy pressure) for VinFast cars. * **A Better "Green" Product:** Unlike my experience in Canada where "green" options often felt forced and uncompetitive, Xanh SM is something you take because it's simply a *better product*. Smart, innovative people can make something "Green" AND better for the consumer. If you haven't tried it, just try it – it's better in every way (specifically the VinFast cars). * **Scooter Critique:** The VinFast scooter needs a very simple change. The handle to hold onto the scooter located on the back is really bad. If I had one request, it would be to change that handle; it's awful. Put a large man in the front and try it. **3. Vin Bus 🚌:** Wow, the bus is the same quality as the newest buses I have seen in Canada, with one huge change: They are *extremely clean*. I have never been on a dirty VinBus. **4. Vin Homes 🏡:** Truly amazing, with great amenities. Lots of people run or play sports in the early morning. Mall access, VinBus access. **5. Other Ventures:** * **VinSchool & VinMec:** I've heard a lot of great stuff, but I haven't used them personally. * **VinWonders Theme Park:** Also a lot of fun. * **Vin Group Hotels:** Can also be really great. --- ### My Investment Journey with HOSE:VIC charted **(Image 3: My Entry Point)** ` ` *So when did I actually get into Vin Group? In 2024.* **(Image 4: Weekly MACD Signal)** ` ` *To me, this weekly MACD made it really obvious downside momentum was done. It was a matter of time to buy it up.* * **Stop-Loss:** Having a stop-loss was also pretty obvious with the 2023 low. * **Sentiment:** Sentiment was also really low. * **Conviction:** Yet, I kept using the products of HOSE:VIC subsidiary companies, thinking the only way I see this company not doing better is if it goes bankrupt. The products are definitely amazing. * **Debt vs. Rates:** If you looked at the company balance sheets, debt was a risk, but Vietnam changed its rates, and eventually, most nations will change their rates. --- ### Price Targets & Risk Management for HOSE:VIC 📈📉 **(Image 5: Long-Term View & Current RSI)** ` ` * **Long-Term Target:** I think this Company could go well over **200k VND**. * **Short-Term Caution:** Price going straight up is risky. With 2024 buying, you could have a narrow stop-loss. In 2025, with this price movement, a simple weekly reversion to the mean would be very rough. * **Overbought RSI:** The RSI hit 97 – not a number that makes me think, "Wow, lots of room to grow immediately." > For me, I want to hold enough stock that I am okay if, before going to 200k VND, we first go back to 60k VND. --- **Disclaimer:** *The information provided in this post is for educational and informational purposes only.

Quess corpI saw that the nearly 18–20% correction from its recent high is currently crossing the trendline and attempting a positive retracement. Quess corp is looking attractive above the 325 level. I believe there is a chance to offer a reward of roughly 10-15% as positioning base with SL 305, or as you feel comfortable, if you accumulate here (as described above 320–325).

Nu Holdings: Is Latin America's Fintech Star Sustainable?Nu Holdings Ltd. stands as a prominent neobank, revolutionizing financial services across Latin America. The company leverages the region's accelerating smartphone adoption and burgeoning digital payment trends, offering a comprehensive suite of services from checking accounts to insurance. Nu's impressive trajectory includes acquiring 118.6 million customers, accumulating $54 billion in assets, and consistently demonstrating robust revenue and net income growth, primarily driven by its strong presence in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia; - this strategic alignment with digital transformation positions Nu as a significant player in the evolving financial landscape. Despite its remarkable expansion and optimistic projections for continued customer and asset growth, Nu faces notable financial headwinds. The company experiences an erosion in its net interest margin (NIM), influenced by increased funding costs from attracting new, high-quality customers and a strategic shift towards lower-yield, secured lending products. Furthermore, the depreciation of the Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso against the US dollar impacts their reported earnings. Nu's ambitious ventures, such as the NuCel mobile phone service, require substantial capital investments, introducing execution risks and demanding efficient capital allocation. Beyond internal financial dynamics, a significant, albeit external, geopolitical risk looms: a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan. This event would trigger a global embargo on China, leading to unprecedented supply chain disruptions, widespread stagflation, and hyperinflation worldwide. Such a catastrophic economic cascade would profoundly impact Nu Holdings, even given its regional focus. It would likely result in drastically reduced consumer spending, a surge in loan defaults, severe challenges in accessing funding, further currency devaluations, and soaring operational costs, thereby threatening the company's stability and growth prospects. Ultimately, Nu Holdings presents a compelling growth narrative rooted in its innovative model and strong market penetration. However, internal pressures from evolving interest margins and high capital expenditure, combined with the low-probability but high-impact global economic upheaval stemming from geopolitical tensions, necessitate a cautious and comprehensive assessment. Investors must weigh Nu's demonstrated success against these complex, intertwined risks, acknowledging that its future prosperity is inextricably linked to both regional economic stability and the broader global geopolitical climate.

EVT 1h – Elliott Wave view After the sharp rejection from 8.50 EUR, price printed a three-leg corrective move that bottomed at 6.50 EUR. The climb from 6.70 EUR is unfolding as an A-B-C zigzag rather than an impulsive five-wave rally. Wave map • Wave A: 6.70 → 7.20 EUR • Wave B: 7.20 → 6.90 EUR (deep, time-consuming pullback) • Wave C: now advancing toward 7.70 – 7.80 EUR (first supply) Key zones • **Buy box (demand)** 7.05 – 7.25 EUR ↳ ideal entry for wave-C continuation • **Sell box (supply)** 7.70 – 7.80 EUR ↳ completion area of the zigzag • Extension target 11.00 EUR ↳ only if 7.80 EUR clears on high momentum Expectations The pair of gray arrows on the chart illustrate two scenarios: 1. **Fast resolution** – price tags 7.70 – 7.80 EUR, exhausts wave C, and rolls back into the 7.20 / 6.90 EUR pocket to start a larger-degree decline. 2. **Time burn** – price drifts sideways inside the blue range, building structure before a final wave C pop; result is the same retest of demand. Bias remains bullish toward 7.70 EUR while the 7.05 EUR floor holds, but the move is classified as corrective, not impulsive; once complete, a return to range-low support is favored.

Lemonade may be ready for a squeezeNYSE:LMND broke dramatically into overbought territory on the weekly chart earlier this year. It's taken understandable time to digest those gains and now looks like it could be building steam to revisit prices reached during that breakout. The shorter term 4H chart, more suitable for entry and exit signals, illustrates a recent break above a cup and handle formation. That little pump appears to be consolidating rapidly. Should the shorter term move find traction, the the weekly chart could provide a reasonable target as a trading range is formed for a larger move in the long run. A swing trade looks attractive at this point with potential 50% upside.

Dell- Upside momentum is backNYSE:DELL . Despite weaker earning expectations, Dell managed to stay afloat and consolidate into a potential bullish flag. We think that there is still short-term upside expectation as the doji candle managed to stay above the 9-period conversion line. Furthermore, based on the Elliott wave theory, the stock is likely to end its ABC corrective three wave structure as momentum is back to the upside and stock has broken above the intermediate downtrend line of wave B to wave C. Meanwhile, MACD is showing long-term positive momentum, along with mid-term stochastic. Target wise we expect Dell to reach 140.00 region to fill the bearish gap. Any correction we will be looking at 100.00 psychological support to stage a rebound.

$LVMUYAnyone else noticing the nice potential long setup for $LVMUY. I have ran a fib on the monthly chart from ATL to ATH and current price is trading near the .50 fib. This could be a could chance for a stab at a reversal. There is obviously potential that this continues to slide further but with the proper risk/reward this could be a great entry for a long hold or even possibly a straddle. Further more, I could see this potentially bottoming out a little further, maybe around $95 but why miss the long term play for a few extra % (~12%).. I’m thinking about taking a small position at current price with a super tight stop and if I get stopped just wait for a re-entry at a slightly lower price. This is definitely a long term play and don’t see much more downside on this. Unfortunately this gem has been punished by Trump’s tariffs and is just a matter of time before the moat shines again.

Shorting WFC for short-term correction NYSE:WFC is looking at near-term weakness after a strong bearish counter attack candle was seen rejecting the 123.6% Fibonacci extension of the range (71.82-76.50) and the 88.6% deep retracement level of the larger swing low to high (50.20-80.70). 23-period ROC is looking at a bearish divergence and volume has spike up on selling. Target is likely to be at 71.80 and 67.10. Should the opening reverse above 76.50, the stock is likely to resume its upside and we will cut short the short-sell trade.

Ending Diagonal Complete? Bounce Toward 1.60 AheadBTAI has likely completed an impulsive 5-wave decline followed by an ABC corrective structure. The final leg (v) of the downtrend appears to have ended near $1.35, where price action shows a reversal signal. Currently, price is attempting to recover and may retest the descending trendline and previous structure zone near $1.60 — a level that served as strong support previously and now acts as resistance. If the price breaks this zone with volume confirmation, it could trigger a short-term bullish breakout. Until then, this is considered a corrective rally within the broader downtrend. Key Levels: Support: $1.35 Resistance: $1.60 Target: $1.60 (potential +16%) Conclusion: A short-term bounce is unfolding. Watch $1.60 for reaction — rejection or breakout will determine the next leg.

ALMS: Chart speaks for itself -- Descending triangle in playThe stock's been in a steady downtrend since late 2024, and more recently formed a textbook descending triangle: sloping upper trendline (resistance), flat lower trendline (support). That support level gave way on May 30th with a decisive break lower. We saw a brief attempt to reclaim that support zone, but so far, the $3.81 area has flipped into resistance. Stock currently sitting at $3.41 -- and in my view, a sustained move back above $3.81 would be the first meaningful signal of potential reversal. Until then, the technicals remain heavy, and breakdown momentum remains intact. I see potential here longer-term (was previously involved with SLRN prior to the ALMS merger), but not chasing here. Sitting patient and waiting for confirmation before stepping in. Stay tuned. GLTA.
