Any More Steam Left For XELA?XELA had a great run but is the steam running out? Lower volume day on 7/14 in tandem with the big drop. However, there are a few levels to keep track of. First, the 382 fib line. XELA was denied at this level twice this week with the second time resulting in the breakdown. BUT you've also got the 50 Fib,which has rarely acted as a major support BUT was a significant level of resistance in March and then you've got the 618 fib line, which was a much more consistent resistance level for the stock through the year. Thoughts are that volume could be important to watch as well as certain chart levels. Let's also not forget that these are some of the highest prices and volume that it's seen in some time....why keep that in mind?

Financing
FTSE 100 Long Term Long, Dividend Yield > Financing The FTSE 100 is in a "bullish price channel" as it has a positive slope with the upper trend line marking resistance and lower trend line marking support.
We are long the FTSE 100 and the dividend yield for 2019 should be close to 5% which provides positive income for holding the position even through a leveraged product that incurs financing charges (ie: a CFD or spreadbet).
The financing for a leveraged FTSE 100 position is calculated as (Benchmark+spread)*daycount*market value Eg: (0.8185%+2.5%)*(1/365)*7450= 68p per day financing charge on a position of notional value GBP 7,450. This is using the benchmark rate at of GBP 3 month libor of 0.81850% as at the 05.04.19 and a spread of 2.5%.
Therefore holding the position could currently yield around 1.7% (5% dividend yield – 3.3% benchmark + spread). This is evidently not much but useful in building a long term long position and it is important to understand how financing is calculated as well as how it can impact returns.
Additionally, a further potential drop in GBPUSD due to the uncertainty surrounding Brexit could see further upside for the index. This is because such a large proportion of profits for FTSE 100 companies is made in dollars. If sterling weakens then dollar revenues, once converted back into sterling, are worth more.
