Tesla 2023 Review and Outlook2023 Review In 2023, Tesla delivered over 1.2 million Model Y’s establishing it as the best-selling vehicle globally, regardless of type, signaling a remarkable shift in the automotive landscape. Despite initial skepticism about the viability of electric vehicles (EVs), this success has proven otherwise. Maintaining a robust free cash flow of $4.4 billion throughout 2023, they strategically directed significant resources towards future growth projects, resulting in record-high capital expenditures and research and development (R&D) expenses. They remain committed to innovation and expansion. Energy storage deployments soared to 14.7 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in 2023, more than doubling the previous year's figures. Simultaneously, Energy Generation and Storage business witnessed a nearly fourfold increase in profits. The Services & Other business also experienced a substantial transformation, turning a $500 million loss in 2019 into a $500 million profit by 2023. In the final quarter, the cost of goods sold per vehicle exhibited a sequential decline, a testament to the company's dedication to enhancing efficiency. Looking ahead to 2024, Tesla’s focus remains on scaling production, investing in future growth, and uncovering additional cost-saving measures. In a groundbreaking development, December saw the rollout of Version 12 of Full Self-Driving Beta, a system trained on data from a vast fleet of over a million vehicles. This advanced AI-driven system influences various vehicle controls, such as steering wheel, pedals, and indicators, without relying on hard-coded driving behaviors. V12 signifies a significant leap forward in the journey toward achieving full autonomy. The company’s sights are set on introducing the next generation platform expeditiously, with plans to commence production at Gigafactory Texas. This revolutionary platform is poised to redefine the manufacturing process for vehicles, ushering in a new era of automotive innovation. Outlook Volume: The company currently finds itself between two substantial growth phases. The first wave commenced with the global expansion of the Model 3/Y platform, and they anticipate the next surge to be triggered by the worldwide expansion of the next-generation vehicle platform. In 2024, the growth rate of their vehicle volume may experience a notable decrease compared to 2023, primarily due to the focus of the company on the launch of the next-generation vehicle at Gigafactory Texas. During this period, the growth rate of deployments and revenue in the Energy Storage business will surpass that of the Automotive business they announced Cash: They maintain ample liquidity to support the product roadmap, long-term capacity expansion plans, and other financial obligations. Profit: The company persists in implementing innovations to reduce manufacturing and operational costs, while foreseeing a shift in the profit landscape. Over time, they anticipate that profits from hardware-related aspects will be complemented by an acceleration in AI, software, and fleet-based profits. Product: The ramp-up of Cybertruck production and deliveries is slated to progress steadily throughout the year. Concurrently, they continue to make significant strides in the development of our next-generation platform.

AMZN solid earnings high volume for 10 months Cup and HandleAMZN has risen lately above the lip of the cup of the pattern on this 4H chart. The pattern suggests $ 50 USD upside or 35% beyond present price. The chart shows the buying coming in once price reached a rounded bottom an began an uptrend. Earnings beats have been significant especially compared with the miss a year ago. AMZN is like the massive river with branches feeding the volume of the river's depth and breadth downstream. Its dominance and resilience is impeccable like others in the titans of tech. Price is now in the ascending bullish continuation portion of the handle. I see this as a setup for a long swing stock trade as AMZN heads into the next earnings. Another long play is call options in five weeks at $ 156 or six months expiration at $176 strike which is the head and shoulders pattern of 2021.

HRTX a biotech penny stock with 70% in two months LONGHRTX has been suggested by various trading websites as a potentially explosive penny biotech stock for 2024. It has experienced excellent price actions since an earnings beat in November. It beat the estimates; that is to say it burned about half as much cash as the analysts estimated the it would. Today it pumped 11%. Relevant articles can be found compiled on the Yahoo Finance page linked here. The chart is 120 minutes. A alpha trend indicator is shown and the supertrend since the November earnings is upward. An AI Lorentzian indicator is added with a 2000 candle lookback to generate buy and sell signals. It calculated a 59% win on 83 trades over those 2000 candles two hours each; this amounts to about 2000 x 2 / 6 hrs per session or more than 600 trading days = 2 1/2 years. Also supporting an entry at this time is the faster (45 min) RSI line rising over the 50 level while the slower ( 240 minutes in red) RSI line has been over the 50 level since those earnings. The ADX indicator had a DI- and DI + flip with a mini pullback to close out last week's trading ( profit taking). The volatility indicator also showed that dip with selling volatility greater than buying which has now flipped. Given that price has went 5X in 2 months , there is a possibility HRTX is overbought. Analysts seem to think otherwise. I will take a stock position here and anticipate holding the position into the next earnings. For trade management I will take partials of 5 % each at the high of day for ten days going into earnings and hold the remaining 50% through the earnings. In the meanwhile I will review the trade if the machine-learning alo indicator generates either a buy or sell signal. For those lacking the risk tolerance for money-losing biotechnology penny stocks with high potential but are aware that biotechnology is expected to be "outperforming" in 2024, XBI and LABU are ETFs with risk-mitigation in the form of a diverse portfolio from the sector.

Tesla reporting this week! $TSLATesla will report as soon as this Wednesday, Jan. 24, after the market close. Personally, I don't plan any trading activity here before the report. But at the moment the stock is in a technically interesting zone. I see a double technical pattern here - Inv. Head and Shoulders. Based on the structure of the daily chart, the price is now in a potential right shoulder (RSh) zone, which could be a good area to start a position. Meanwhile, the entire daily structure is a right shoulder (WkRsh) for the weekly pattern, which gives the current price zone more strength. Of course, the report could break the technical pattern, but I will be watching and waiting for one of my triggers to occur.

Stocks at New All-Time Highs Ahead of Earnings: CATThis Dow component attempted a new all-time high and failed. However, it has ample support from the prior sideways trend after the previous all-time high. NYSE:CAT has been over-speculated as it moved out of its bottom low. The company reports end of January. Watching to see how the stock performs in the next week or so should indicate whether it will be stuck range bound for another couple of quarters or if it will have the fundamentals to support a new high. For now, it has more of the appearance of a range bound sideways pattern developing. Caterpillar Inc. did well during the years of huge real estate and city development in China. Unfortunately, the great industrial revolution of China is long gone, their population in decline due to fewer births and more deaths reducing their billions. Their consumer-based economy has slammed into Market Saturation as their population continues to age at a faster pace than any nation on earth. CAT needs to find another source for its machinery.

UEC an energy penny stock pops out of ascending channel LONGUEC is a uranium company somewhat independent of the oil, solar and lithium stocks that dominate the energy sector. Nuclear is touted as green and not contributory to climate change with no carbon impact. It pollution or radioactivity is self-contained and isolated with heavy regulatory safeguards All that said, a few days ago analysts at Eight Capital raised the status of UEC to "strong buy" with a price target of $13 or about 75% above current valuation. Such a high upside is uncommon in the energy sector. The 4H chart shows price broke out from an ascending channel of several months duration with a corresponding relative volume of 4x the running mean. The price action is that of a high tight flag patter n invoking the moderately strong probability of more bullish momentum after a consolidation is completed. I see this as a great long swing trade with earnings coming in two months or call options OTM targeting a strike price of $10 for the mid-March expiration. Given the stock price at present such call options would have about $40 premium per contract. Lastly, the ETFs URA and URNM appear to track the price action of UEC fairly well. If a trader prefers diversification or risk moderation of ETFs these two are reasonable alternatives. Uranium trades do not have geopolitical risk to consider as much as oil and gas yet another reason to give this a further look. .

This is the Weekly Chart to show that the Year over Year comparatives that harmed HD for a couple of years is now patterned out.

Symmetrical Triangle for a Long positionUSDCAD opened with Lower high and gave a big bearish candle on first day of the week, I was looking at different time frames and saw a symmetrical pattern on the one minute time frame (Using 15 minute to publish, analysis on 1 minute time frame), though I do not recommend using the one minute time frame at the opening but it was a sure bullish move that was coming. Took the trade with a small stop loss and TP at the size of the length of the triangle base, just above the slope of lower high and made a small profit to start the week. Where is USD moving in the coming week, what are the different factors that will effect its move? comment and share your experience.!! Cheers

Controlled Sideways Trends Ahead of EarningsThe Giant Banks and Credit Card companies benefit the most from the Federal Reserve Board's overnight interest rate hikes. As the FRB increases its lending rate, it allows big banks and credit companies to increase their interest rates to consumers, small businesses, etc. That usually means higher revenues. NYSE:V is in a sideways trend that is not as consistent as would be ideal ahead of its earnings report in about 3 weeks. However, HFTs are aware of the tendency for credit card companies to prosper during high interest-rate markets. Study the candlestick patterns: Note the quick reversal back down after a higher price level was reached. Note the rebound the same day when price dropped out of the lows of this sideways trend. There is control in this pattern which is typical of Professional trading activity.
