Buyback
General Electric - Expect volatilityGE, America's sweetheart has been accused of fraud allegations before. This time though, it's by the same person who did it on the Madoff Scheme (Harry Markopolos)
Markopolos’ main points of contention are:
1) GE’s insurance obligations are woefully under-reserved and it has been lying to the Kansas Insurance Department
2) GE shouldn’t have consolidated BHGE’s financial statements, which are a source of confusion
3) GE’s evolving presentation makes it very difficult to evaluate GE’s operating performance.

In response to the whole ordeal, General Electric's CEO bought $2million in shares.
MSFT: Candlestick Patterns Reveal BuybacksMSFT shows the classic candlestick patterns of a major buyback underway. The intent of buybacks is to increase the price of the stock and reduce the number of outstanding shares in order to improve the EPS. Corporations generally use the bank of record to do the actual buying of the shares of stock. These are usually done via Price and Volume weighted orders which trigger on both volume and price rising.
The fractal of love on JEFJEF is the parent company of Jefferies Group LLC. The child has been selling ridiculous "fixed to floating rate" 25 year bonds. They might have a plan to do some buybacks. Fractals are not real. The long entry level is at a volume profile low node, the fractal just happens to hit it perfectly.
JPM: Dark Pool rotation against buybacks ahead of earningsJPM kicks off the official earnings season this week with a report due out Friday. All attention will be drawn to these early banking industry reports that will set the tone for the entire 1st quarter earnings season. The stock has had buyback activity recently while some Dark Pools lowered their holdings. The chart shows patterns of Dark Pool rotation.
SP500 Buyback Index Indicator?This is pretty cool. Each time the price of the SPX separates from the action of the S&P Buybacks Index; the price reverses course and heads in the direction of the Buybacks, or vise versa.....
Corporate Zombieland has decided its more important to have the stock price rise continually into infinity than to have actual discovery in their company stock...lol
FB: Buybacks Buoy Stock but Privacy Issues Remain a ProblemFacebook, having been pressured by the European authorities for numerous privacy violations and illegal use of its customers’ personal information, is trying to mitigate the risk of criminal charges as well as monopoly charges. Mark Zuckerberg has announced that FB is concerned with the privacy of its customers. He claims, without any details or explanations, that the platform will be more focused on privacy. He is also making some features specific to certain modes of communication.
All of this will impact FB’s stock price. Currently FB has some buybacks in play this year. The intermediate term bottom formation is not completed, and volume is very low. The Institutional Holdings Percentage has declined and even with the recent gap up, the stock has plenty of work to do to create strong momentum energy to move it up further. The changes FB is making may or may not make its customer base happy. That remains to be seen. It also is likely to impact revenues growth.
BA: Speculative at New All-time High with Contrarian Long-term POnly 2 of the DJIA components are currently at new all-time highs: BA and PG. Boeing gapped and ran up on earnings news with a boost from HFTs and buybacks. Currently, the number of shares held by institutions is dropping. Vanguard, Blackrock, Price T Rowe, State Street, Capital World Investors, Northern Trust, all giants of the Buy Side, have lowered held inventory in recent months. The stock is at a speculative price as smaller funds buy heavily and buybacks of up to $14 billion move price up. Whether this will be a good strategy for BA this year remains to be seen. The chart is the Long-term Trend Monthly chart showing the severity of the speculative buying. Also you can see the Cycle chart pattern using the DPO indicator with a failure to trough V shape. Volume shows a steady decline as well. These are contrarian indicators to what price is doing.
KO Earnings: Dark Pool Rotation vs. BuybacksCoca Cola has been in a major buyback mode for its stock in an attempt to move the price up. The buybacks have faced heavier than normal Dark Pool rotation (large lot selling) against the automated buyback orders. Recently the buybacks have increased, creating some interesting anomalies in the large lot indicators as well as in price patterns. Retail traders, who trade this stock heavily, are often fooled by buyback candlestick patterns. Institutional holdings has declined, which is unusual during a buyback mode.
NTAP Earnings: Short-term Bottom, HFT, Pro Traders, BuybacksNetApp is a Data Storage company for Cloud Technology. The Financial Services Industry is reporting a huge increase in Cloud Services usage that is starting in 2019 after a very conservative interest in Cloud Based Storage and services. This could potentially help NTAP complete this short term bottom and begin a new business cycle for the next couple of years. NTAP topped around $88 and declined to a low of about $56 before starting this first attempt at a bottom. HFTs are likely to be targeting this stock tomorrow as it reports its earnings. NTAP technically has stopped just below resistance for a completion of bottom. It is technically in a sideways pattern at this level. BOP shows HFTs were the drivers for the stock to drop in price to the short term bottom low of $56. BOP is not yet showing any quiet accumulation. Some pro traders are in the mix. The stock may also be under buyback mode as well.
Will BNB find a roof?BNB/BTC (Token used at Binance to have discounts on their fees) has been in a clearly uptrend since December.
From experts in crypto markets this chart has SO MANY signs of manipulation/centralization:
- The trendline has been so clear and definited, with several attempts of break out. See as example in point "a" how big the buying pressure was at support, and same for point "b" at resistance.
- Clear accumulation started at point 1 (look at the spike and then correction) and ended at point 2.
They moved the market then.
Our CLEAR signal is to sell it NOW.
1) We are approaching ATH of July
2) Incredibly high volumes
3) Crazy overbought Macd and RSI
This HAS to correct, in our opinion back to the previous support/resistance level
Trade safetly

Stock buyback failures could herald a crashThe SPBUYUP index has not been shown in a published idea on Tradingview before now (I checked). It is the index which tells how much companies are buying back their own stock to keep the S&P500 afloat.
So if this fails, market 'manipulations' of the S&P500 could fail. Of course, this not the only thing that influences the S&P500 but it is a significant marker of influence or lack of it.
GE is in troubleGE has been participating in stock buybacks. They have spent a lot of their renaming capital on buybacks, 24 billion to be exact. I am guessing a lot of the stock buybacks were with borrowed money due to the low interest rates of 2009-2015. As the interest rates rise, GE will have to pay back their debt. The money GE put into its stock is worth less now compared to when they put it in. If this is borrowed capital then GE could be in serious financial trouble. Even if they will have a hard time recovering from their stock buybacks, I doubt GE will go out of business. GE makes well made, reliable products and is not a "scammy" company. I believe GE will double bottom at 5$. If GE announces plans pay off their stock buyback loans, then i think buying their stock would be a good idea. We will have to wait and see.
