Big Things in 2023Cepton ( NASDAQ:CPTN ) has been quiet for a few quarters now. Earnings are coming up on May 9th and revenue is expected to increase each quarter to 2024. According to TradingView's Forecast, 3 out of 5 indicate CPTN is a strong buy. The expected revenue growth through Q4 2023 is expected to grow almost 4x from where we are now. What is great, is no one is talking about Cepton. Reddit, TradingView Ideas, and our typical blogs have been radio silence. The current RSI indicates we are likely oversold in the latest dump and have an opportunity to grab a good entry as we head to 2024. With each Automaker investigating how to implement LiDAR solutions in their future product, they will likely need to work with one manufacturer and stick with them due to challenging packaging constraints and system integration work with each LiDAR module. I expect that the contracts that CPTN currently has and future business to be long term revenue generators to help them achieve these revenue targets. As more automakers launch products and reveal future vehicles with autonomous systems utilizing LiDAR, this will be a stock to watch.
Let me know what you think.

Economic Recession 2024Economic Recession 2024
This aggressive rise in interest rates and the resulting inverted yield curve caused us to pull in that anticipated mid-decade recession to 2024.
If the Federal Reserve Board decides to be even more aggressive, it could make the recession steeper and potentially prolong it into 2025.
Emerald Resources (EMR:ASX) Wedge BOHey all, I'm still very new to investing but have seen success with EMR.
I was an investor in Bullseye (BE) who was acquired by Emerald Resources (EMR)
I've been quite a strong believer in gold more recently due to the current world events happening around us and also believe there is some more economic pain to come in the future.
I'm in no way a pessimistic person however whilst looking at the world economy and the possibility of it slowly ticking down and being realised that a sickness resides deep within gold has become more and more popular as a defensive commodity.
So, let's jump into my TA.
I was awarded 8650 shares of EMR valued @ 80c
There is a lot of positive signals in the books and within the graph itself.
I identified a form of wedge and some areas of interest in the forms of the orange lines which act as S/R levels.
I'm currently aiming for $1.6

Earning season is hereThe earnings calendar is loaded this week, with heavyweights reporting in every sector. All told, about 35% of the companies in the S&P 500 Index will spill numbers this coming week.
While the earnings season is off to a relatively solid start, concerns over the impact of inflation, high interest rates, and a potential U.S. recession are still very much in the mix. Economic releases of note in the week ahead include consumer confidence and new home sales on April 25, durable goods orders on April 26, and the closely-watched employment cost index on April 28. Federal Reserve members will be out on the speaking circuit on Monday before the blackout period begins in advance of the FOMC meeting on May 2-3. On the political front, the House may vote on a bill that would raise the U.S. debt limit for about a year and cut federal spending.

Technically,the daily continues on a distribution, a break below HKEX:104 , favors a short towards HKEX:95 ;
Disclaimer: No position open. Not financial advise nor recommendation.
Will $KO get KO?This is NYSE:KO , strong dividend stock, but the beauty of this is that. Right now it have been testing to create a new high. Ever since it struggle to hold above 54 in 2021 it currently using it as the of what could be a displaced inverse head and shoulders. Primarily a beverage company, unlike its competitor $PEP.
Bullish Case - It is not the clearest inverse head and shoulders but obvious none the less. With earnings approaching a strong report could help break above 64.25 and start the higher high needed for the uptrend. This buy signal looks really strong.
Bearish Case - This snail will not make any highs! Do you see the down trend it is creating? It has created an all time high in 2022 time to settle sub BMV:60 before going higher. When the earning drop it will confirm the fact that it is on a decline that will continue. People want a healthier alternative to the Coca-Cola classic..... out with the old!!!
BBBY Possible Double Bottom FormingPossible double bottom forming on the 30 minute chart.
.27 Showing some strong support now.
Green box possible target price range for a break after the double bottom.
Orange boxes are gaps on the daily chart, could get some pops up to close those gaps. All gaps down below have been closed, and the recent move to the downside could've been to close the gaps (aside from stock being shorted to hell). .55-.6, and then .95-1.05 going to be another big gap to really get some momentum going.
.81 is where the downtrend started so that will hopefully be stop number 2. Gotta get past .5 first and power through.
Not quiet like GME squeeze just yet, we do not have stimulus checks coming in, BBBY is also not talked on WSB until it surpasses the necessary market cap.
Other reddiots and YouTubers fighting blah blah blah blah
Still awaiting Earnings.
Possible Reverse stock spilt, and possible dilution from all the crazy deals going on.
Special meeting coming up may 9 2023, we shall see if we make it to that date. Apparently BBBY is 5 days away from declaring BK if things do not change.
Funny thing is the green vertical line is when im hopeful for a move up, happens to be just before the meeting.
None of this is financial advice.
Do your own research, these are my speculations and opinions, and if this goes south I am aware I can and or will lose the total notational value of my trade.
I hold call options of BBBY, and 2000 shares.
I have been in and out of BBBY since August, and it's been a gnarly ride.
My tinfoil has gone through the microwave now, and I'll see where my bag takes me.
$DIS: Wedge Breakout & $NFLX Earnings ImpactNYSE:DIS is currently inside a wedge pattern on the weekly chart, making it difficult to predict the next move. However, we can look for clues from two key factors: the 200MA and the upcoming NASDAQ:NFLX earnings report.
If NYSE:DIS breaks above the wedge, surpasses the 200MA, and NASDAQ:NFLX delivers impressive earnings along with strong subscriber numbers and guidance, we can anticipate a move towards filling the bear gap up to $105.
On the other hand, if NYSE:DIS closes below the breakout point and NASDAQ:NFLX underperforms, we might see a move downwards, filling the bull gap down to the $96.87 support level.
Keep a close eye on these factors to determine the most likely direction for NYSE:DIS in the coming days. Happy trading!

Nagarro SE (NA9): Small Cap Multi-Bagger in Germany.Nagarro SE (NA9) is a global software engineering and digital transformation company. It provides services such as software development, cloud computing, data analytics, and user experience design to clients across various industries including retail, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing.
In terms of Nagarro SE's competitive advantages , some of the key factors that set the company apart from its competitors include:
Technical Expertise: Nagarro SE has a highly skilled and experienced team of software engineers, data scientists, and UX/UI designers who are proficient in cutting-edge technologies and frameworks. This technical expertise enables the company to deliver high-quality software solutions that are customized to meet the unique needs of its clients.
Agile Delivery: Nagarro SE follows an agile methodology for software development and delivery, which allows the company to quickly adapt to changing client requirements and market conditions. This approach enables the company to deliver projects faster and with a higher degree of flexibility and scalability.
Global Delivery Model: Nagarro SE has a global delivery model, which allows the company to tap into a diverse talent pool across different geographies. This model also enables the company to provide 24/7 support to its clients and reduce development costs by leveraging the cost arbitrage between different regions.
Client-Centric Approach: Nagarro SE puts a strong emphasis on understanding its clients' businesses and their unique challenges. This client-centric approach enables the company to provide customized solutions that address specific pain points and drive business outcomes for its clients.
Overall, Nagarro SE's technical expertise, agile delivery, global delivery model, and client-centric approach are key competitive advantages that differentiate the company from its competitors in the software engineering and digital transformation space.
As with any company, Nagarro faces various risks that could impact its business and financial performance. Some of the key risks that the company faces include:
Economic and Market Risks: Nagarro SE's business is dependent on the overall health of the global economy and the demand for software engineering and digital transformation services. A slowdown in economic activity or a downturn in the global market could reduce demand for the company's services and negatively impact its financial performance.
Competition: Nagarro SE operates in a highly competitive industry, and faces competition from both established players and new entrants. If the company is unable to compete effectively in terms of price, quality, and innovation, it could lose market share and revenue.
Dependence on Key Clients : Nagarro SE's revenue is concentrated among a few key clients, which increases the risk of revenue volatility if these clients reduce their spending on the company's services, or if the company is unable to secure new clients to replace lost business.
Talent Retention: Nagarro SE's success depends on its ability to attract, retain, and develop top talent in a highly competitive labor market. If the company is unable to attract and retain top talent, it may not be able to deliver high-quality services and meet its clients' needs.
Technological Risks: Nagarro SE operates in a rapidly evolving technology landscape, which requires the company to invest continually in research and development to stay ahead of the curve. If the company is unable to adapt to new technologies or fails to innovate, it could lose market share to competitors that offer more advanced solutions.
Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)
Nagarro has a ROCE of 20%. In absolute terms that's a great return and it's even better than the IT industry average of 15%.
To sum it up, Nagarro has proven it can reinvest in the business and generate higher returns on that capital employed, which is terrific. Given the stock has declined 55% from its highs, this could be a good investment if the valuation and other metrics are also appealing. With that in mind, I believe that the promising trends warrant this stock for further investigation.

A Deeper Looking Into VIXThere are issues when it comes to the VIX volatility index's ability to project impending volatility - in part because options themselves are increasingly speculative vehicles rather than mere hedges to the underlying - but there is still a lot to glean from the the implied measures of activity.
Aside from the SKEW in implieds showing tail risk and volatility of volatility gauge showing underlying habits of jumpiness that the VIX alone doesn't well capture, I like the comparison of a shorter and longer duration gauge.
I thought we didn't have any robust short-term implied readings for the US indices space since VXST was scrapped some years ago, but apparently we now have CBOE:VIX9D - which covers is pretty self explanatory - relative to the 30-day traditional index. It's not the 'overnight' relative to '1-week' I like to pull from expensive data providers for FX volatility comparisons, but it can give useful insight.
What do the VIX9D - VIX suggest now? That we are underpricing the potential for a strong reaction (regardless of direction) heading into Wednesday CPI and Friday bank earnings.
DE - looks temptingThe recent pullback for NYSE:DE looks tempting, but I'm not adding right now. I will monitor price until we get in between the FOMC and earnings in May. I'm eying anything between 347-360 as a strong opportunity to accumulate.
DE is a core holding for me. They have strong dividend growth, low payout ratio, and a strong history of earnings beats. They are a leader in their space, switching costs are high, demand for products in their sector will continue to grow, and replacement demand can only be postponed temporarily. The management team seems to have navigated adversity well, which is critical with geopolitical tensions running hot.
DE has a history of volatility around earnings releases and outlook for industrials is influenced by monetary policy. The industrials surged 26% from the September lows to the March highs. They corrected sharply after the March FOMC and their recovery pulled back again when the ISM manufacturing PMI came in below forecast. DE's price movements coincide with its index, but it typically outperforms the S&P, where the index tends to underperform the S&P.
In this chart we see that movement into the lower portion of the rising channel are an infrequent and rewarding opportunity. Momentum and lack of meaningful company updates suggests that the current downtrend will follow the industrial index and that we may see such an opportunity. I will take any opportunity that I see near the center of the blue circled area and then likely take some profit above the solid green trendline. I've drawn a fib time zone that starts with the April 2022 drawdown. It has aligned with major price reversals and has an upcoming marker in May in between the FOMC and earnings.
Earnings season for the banksThis week is going to be a big one with US CPI and the Fed minutes on Wednesday, in addition to that the likes of JP Morgan and Citigroup are reporting earnings on Friday. We now see our green count as the likeliest outcome with a sharp move down this week and then a rally in May/June going to our ultimate target around 4300. Once we get to this area we will be looking to short the market very hard for the primary wave C with over 1000 points to take advantage of.
But as for this week, we're looking for an opportunity to short the market moving down to around 3700, which presents a nice 400 points of profit from current prices, but we'd advise caution with position sizes and stop losses this week as there is likely to be high volatility.
🐕Review of the Dogecoin(DOGE) Project🐕Hello! Today, let's review one of the ✴️cryptocurrency projects ✴️ which is the talk of the town these days, Dogecoin .
Today's project name is ⚛️ Dogecoin , shown as DOGE token⚛️.
As I have said before, I evaluate crypto projects based on various factors .👇
I have already introduced each of these factors with a brief explanation, so today, I will be looking at DOGE .
🔥Let’s get into it:
🔰🔰🔰🔰🔰🔰
✅ Project Goals : Dogecoin was created in 2013 as a joke. Dogecoin's goals are centered around creating a fun😁, friendly, and inclusive cryptocurrency that anyone can easily use and access. Dogecoin is the start of what is known today as “meme coins”. One of the main aims of Dogecoin is to be a fast and low-cost alternative to other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, making it ideal for everyday transactions and small purchases. But the aim to be an alternative to Bitcoin was made as a joke to stop the Bitcoin maximalists from spreading toxicity in the Bitcoin community💬. This is why I have rated Dogecoin’s project goals 4/10.
✅ Founders : Dogecoin was created in 2013 by two software engineers, Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. Markus, who had previously worked for IBM, developed the technical aspects of the cryptocurrency, while Palmer, a product manager at Adobe, came up with the idea to base it on the popular "Doge" meme featuring a Shiba Inu dog🐕. Initially created as a joke or a "fun" cryptocurrency, Dogecoin gained popularity among internet communities, especially on Reddit, and became known for its friendly and inclusive culture. Markus and Palmer both stepped away from the project in 2015, with Markus citing personal reasons and Palmer expressing concerns about the cryptocurrency industry's direction. Since then, Dogecoin has been maintained and developed by a decentralized community of supporters and developers with no official leadership or centralized authority. Therefore I have scored Dogecoin’s founders 7/10.
✅ GitHub : Dogecoin's GitHub is an open-source repository where the source code for the Dogecoin cryptocurrency is stored, managed, and updated. It is a central hub for developers and contributors to collaborate on the project and make changes to the codebase. The GitHub repository also includes various resources and documentation for developers and users, such as technical guides, FAQs, and release notes. Dogecoin's open-source nature allows for transparency and community involvement in developing and maintaining the cryptocurrency. The Dogecoin GitHub repository has more than 270 contributors with over 14,000 commits. That is why I have scored Dogecoin’s GitHub 8/10.
✅ Inflation Rate : Dogecoin has a unique inflationary monetary policy that sets it apart from other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Unlike Bitcoin, which has a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Dogecoin has an unlimited supply, with 5 billion new coins added to circulation each year. The inflation rate of Dogecoin is fixed at 5.26% per year, meaning that the total supply of Dogecoin will increase by approximately 5.26% each year. This inflation rate is designed to ensure that there will always be new coins available to incentivize miners to continue verifying transactions and securing the network. I have scored Dogecoin’s inflation rate 6/10.
✅ Community : Dogecoin's community is known for its fun, friendly, and inclusive culture, which has played a significant role in the cryptocurrency's success and popularity. The community is made up of a diverse group of supporters, including investors, developers, traders, and enthusiasts, who are passionate about the currency and its mission.
The Dogecoin community is highly active on social media platforms, especially Twitter and Reddit, where they often share memes, jokes, and updates about the cryptocurrency.
One of the unique features of the Dogecoin community is its strong sense of humor and lightheartedness. The currency's logo features the Shiba Inu dog, which has become a popular meme on the internet, and the community often celebrates milestones with humorous memes and jokes.
Also, Elon Musk is an active member of the Dogecoin community with a significant impact on the project. Since Elon Musk is an extremely influential figure, he has managed to impact Dogecoin’s price through tweets, accepting CRYPTOCAP:DOGE for the sale of certain Tesla products, and even most recently that he changed Twitter’s logo to Dogecoin’s logo for a week. Due to this, I have scored Dogecoin’s community 9/10.
✅ Whitepaper : Dogecoin does not have a formal whitepaper in the traditional sense, as it was created as a fork of Litecoin and was initially intended to be a joke or a "fun" cryptocurrency. However, the original codebase for Dogecoin is publicly available on its GitHub repository, and it provides a technical overview of the currency's features and functionality. Since the project does not have a whitepaper, I have scored it 1/10.
✅ Developers : Dogecoin's development team is largely comprised of volunteers and community members who contribute to the project on a part-time basis. The original codebase for Dogecoin was created by programmers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, who have since left the project.
Since then, the Dogecoin development team has expanded to include several core contributors and maintainers who oversee the ongoing development and maintenance of the currency. Some of the current core contributors include Ross Nicoll, Patrick Lodder, and Max Keller, among others.
The development team works closely with the broader Dogecoin community to solicit feedback, implement new features, and address any issues or bugs that arise. The team is known for its collaborative and transparent approach to development, with regular updates and discussions on social media and other online platforms. Therefore I have scored Dogecoin’s developers 7/10.
✅ Tokenomics : Dogecoin is inflationary which means it does not have a maximum total supply. Dogecoin’s tokenomics include a few key features mentioned below:
Inflationary supply : Dogecoin has an inflationary monetary policy, with 5 billion new coins added to circulation each year.
Fixed block rewards : Dogecoin miners receive a fixed block reward of 10,000 DOGE per block. This reward is designed to incentivize miners to continue verifying transactions and securing the network.
Fast block times : Dogecoin has a fast block time of just one minute, which helps to facilitate quick transactions.
But an important factor to keep in mind is that 50% of Dogecoin’s current circulating supply is held just by the top 20 wallet addresses. This makes Dogecoin extremely centralized in terms of ownership. Therefore I have scored Dogecoin’s tokenomics 4/10.
✅ Venture Capital Investors : Dogecoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency and does not have any official VC investors. As a community-driven project, Dogecoin was initially created as a fun and lighthearted fork of Litecoin and has since gained popularity and support from a diverse group of enthusiasts, investors, and traders.
While Dogecoin does not have any VC investors, it has received attention from various high-profile individuals, including Elon Musk, who has been known to tweet about the cryptocurrency and show support for its community. Due to this, I have scored Dogecoin’s VC investors 5/10, even though it does not have any official investors.
✅ Competitor Comparison : Dogecoin is often compared to other meme-inspired cryptocurrencies, which have gained popularity in recent years. Here are some points of comparison between Dogecoin and some of its notable meme coin competitors:
Shiba Inu (SHIB) : Shiba Inu is a meme-inspired cryptocurrency that was created in 2020. Like Dogecoin, it features a cute dog as its mascot, and it has a community-driven culture. However, Shiba Inu has a larger total supply and has faced criticism for its lack of transparency and governance.
SafeMoon (SAFEMOON) : SafeMoon is a cryptocurrency that was created in 2021 and has gained a significant following in a short amount of time. It features a unique tokenomics structure that incentivizes holders to keep their coins in their wallets, which is very ponzi-like. Therefore SafeMoon has faced criticism for its lack of transparency and the potential risks associated with its tokenomics structure.
Akita Inu (AKITA) : Akita Inu is a meme-inspired cryptocurrency that was created in 2021. It features a dog as its mascot, and it has gained some popularity among crypto investors. However, Akita Inu has a smaller community and less widespread adoption compared to Dogecoin.
Therefore I have scored Dogecoin 9/10 compared to its competitors.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🔔 In conclusion , Dogecoin obtained a total score of 6/10 which is average. But the important point is that Dogecoin is a meme coin after all, which means it will only have value as long as the community stays active and works for the project’s growth. The thing is, there is a high chance of people getting tired of one meme coin and moving on to a newer, more trending one. So if you are thinking of buying some DOGE, it’s best not to put in more money than you are completely comfortable with losing. Many great teams in the crypto space are working on the latest technology in order to build platforms, applications, and protocols that will increase crypto adoption and create a better experience for crypto users. Therefore, in my opinion, it’s best to invest your money in those types of projects instead of meme coins.
