LC trade ideas
LC - LendingClub CorpOpened small starter position on break above inside pivot point from yesterday's earnings gap. Stop loss below the low of the inside pivot & anchored VWAP from the earnings gap.
Yesterday's earnings gap was the second strong earnings gap in a row with this stock, telling me that institutions are still behind in their accumulation of this name and still have shares to buy. I also want to accumulate more shares, but with earnings having just been reported, it gives me time to be patient in my process. In a perfect scenario, I'd like to see a strong push above my entry and another small basing pattern with a good pivot to add shares at.

Lending Club (LC) - Diamond in the roughLending Club - absolute monster growth potential.
5 reasons why LC should be on your radar:
1. We are out of a long term falling wedge. Technical breakout is making it interesting.
2. Lending Club just bought Radius Bank which is an online bank. Virtual wallets is a 2021 trend that is shaking up traditional banking model. Mobile phone is now your bank branch. This move is clearly showing that LC is moving in this space.
3. All-in-one service. You can borrow, lend, bank, etc. through the new model that they are working on.
4. ARK and a number of other ETFs have stake in LC.
5. Anti institutional movement will drive customers to LC since LC skips the banker and promotes peer-to-peer transactions.
In my opinion it is a FinTech company that has a chance to disrupt banking sector. I dont think it will have a massive market share but it will serve a niche market. I like niches and this one has everything going for it as long as they can attract the consumer.
