QD - Chinese Microloan Unicorn. +100% upside potential1. ER report +320% earnings growth (want played out)
2. Traders are scared of "data leak"+"regulation" will bring company down to zero. Thats why company lost 30% valuation on premarket. And got back to -3% in same day.
3. China wants to regulate "micro-loan industry". That was played out bearish, but it is actually bullish. China wants to BAN small and bad companies - competitors of QD. Means more profits for QD in future.
4. No serious risks in China Crysis in near term future (look at Tencent earnings report), economics might actually boost from here and now.
This will eventually end up 30+. When? don't know, but i think here is the bottom.
OSCI ready to mine gold?It has been a long road and you can see part of that under the $PYHH idea I previously published. $OSCI has filed a large number of financials in the past 2 days and I'm expecting them to go current on OTCMarkets.com followed by some news and hopefully production ramping up. We've seen a lot of activity over the past few months on the property, mostly posted to www.facebook.com
NOAH HOLDINGS PLC SHORT TERM SHORT, SEEKING LONGFUNDAMENTALS/FINANCIALS
Analysing the financials of this company, it is clear their assets are growing year on year between 10-30% and there revenues are also increasing. They seek to open branches in Canada, Australia and other discussed locations. As an asset management company, it is vital to ensure profits or "Revenues" are increasing whilst assets under management "AUM" also increase. China are currently seeking to invest outside of China as there are some restrictions. Chinese high net worth individuals are on the rise more than any other country in the world, this provides business for Chinese asset managers which also operate outside of China. NOAH HOLDINGS being listed on the new York stock exchange allow a further expansion over seas. NOAH HOLDINGS market cap is currently at US$1.78 billion with a P/E ratio of 20.28, which gives the Holding an estimated market value of US$36 billion. NOAH HOLDINGS also completed a repurchase programme of US$50 million, this demonstrates the commitment to it investors and potential growth in revenues and sales profits, it is also a possible sign of strength and shareholders optimism. Based on financial analysis, the fair share price is around US$28.00 per share, currently trading at a premium. If price does breach below this level I personally believe US$24.50 a share is a key holding level. To summarise, the financials and fundamentals around this company and the industry, economic standpoint is all very bullish. The company is healthy.
TECHNICALS/PRICE ACTION
As analysed on the chart, we have strong resistance around US$33.00 per share, we have a bearish harmonic formation with price bouncing on the upper channel line. An "ABCD" formation has been completed at the 1.318 extension level. The stochastic demonstrates overbought (in line with the financial analysis of price trading at a premium). There are multiple scenarios. However, my main position will be to enter long around US$28.50-US$27.00 per share (on Bullish PA confirmation), if price breaks below the channel and key holding level of US$25.00 per share then I will be out of this trade. However, as it stands from US$28.00 my target will be US$35.00 to US$40.00, possibly higher.
***PLEASE BE AWARE THIS IS JUST AN IDEA, IT IS NOT MY ACTUAL TRADE, I SEEK ENTRY AROUND THESE LEVELS IF PRICE DOES DEMONSTRATE BULLISH PA, THEN I WILL BE EXECUTING THIS TRADE. TRADE AT OWN RISK.***
XLF surges on House vote repeal Dodd-Frank, but don't buy.Dodd-Frank got closer to being repealed and likely the Senate will follow suit, from what I he been reading. However, the financial sector is facing a wall of delinquencies as the rate continues to climb. That would be a far greater market mover than the repeal of the legislation that would ultimately prevent financials from getting a wall of delinquencies. It is kind of ironic, if you think about it.
I am more interested in selling financials and this may be good starting point to enter a short. The financials are facing dire times ahead. This is a short-term boost that allows a short seller a better vantage to sell.
Neutral trade on KRE (25 delta Strangle)KRE is a regional bank ETF, after a strong impulsive bull run, it looks like KRE is starting a correction. With a IV rank of 34 is at least decent volatility to try a neutral trade. I sold the 50/56 Strangle (25 delta) and collected $1.33 per contract.
With 64% probability of profit at expiration we need the price to stay between $57.34 and $48.67 which is a little over the expected move of 39 days.
XLF. Welcome to hell!I will try to call a multi-year top on the XLF fund. Will short from 25, targeting... Probably, 12.
But my main question is: was the whole movement from 2009 to now a wave 1 or it was a B and we still wil see a Wave C? If that was a B, then we can probably say: welcome to hell, banks! Hope you enjoy your stay here
$ZION Has a huge upside with the slightest De-Regulation They might be in the best position to profit with any compromise to Dodd Frank. Right now systematically important banks are categorized as any banks with over 50 billion dollars AUM. Zion is around 64 Billion which means the narrowly made the cut. Because of this they have hired hundreds of staff positions to deal with compliance and paperwork. One popular measure that seems to have bi partisan support is increasing that threshold from 50 billion. If this is the Case Zion will have a huge cost reduction which will increase its already significant profits.
