HITECH PIPES COMPLETING A W??? ARE WE MISSING A GOOD 30-40 POINTA double bottom pattern is a bullish reversal chart pattern that signals a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend. It forms when a stock's price hits a support level twice, creating a "W" shape, and suggests that the stock may rally after breaking the resistance level. Hi-Tech Pipes has demonstrated notable financial performance and strategic initiatives recently: Q2 FY25 Results: The company reported a 72% increase in consolidated net profit, reaching ₹18.11 crore, despite a 5.3% decline in total income to ₹706.86 crore. This profit surge was primarily due to reduced expenses and a 22.5% rise in sales volumes to 1.23 lakh tonnes. Order Acquisition: In August 2024, Hi-Tech Pipes secured a ₹105 crore order from the renewable energy sector for supplying ERW steel pipes, indicating a strong market position and demand for its products. Fundraising Efforts: The company initiated a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) in October 2024, setting a floor price of ₹194.98 per share, aiming to raise up to ₹600 crore. These funds are intended to double its manufacturing capacity to 2 million tonnes per annum over the next 3-4 years, reflecting a commitment to growth and expansion. Analyst Perspective: Brokerage firm Sharekhan has initiated a 'BUY' rating on Hi-Tech Pipes, citing expectations of a 25% upside. The company is anticipated to benefit from the expected bottoming out of steel prices and has an early-mover advantage in supplying specialized steel pipes for renewable energy projects

Little rally to trap everyone? Then were caught holding the bag?10-11 expiration for NVDA has way to much open interest at 120 - 130 levels. 118 looks more realistic. I think we can see a climb to 120-130 early in the week and a huge sell off to 118 to end the week. If this happens, it opens the door to max pain of 112 - 113 by 10/18. There are going to be so many traps this months and I think were all in the middle of one now. Inversely, my theory above could be a trap as well haha. If this is truly a blow off top, $149 -$150 is my absolute peak.

Long term $180-$190 target. More downside likely short term.I think short term we can see a final push down. Company has way to much in OP EX and once it can figure out how to remove/cut the amount in half, this stock will show to investors that it has a plan for long term profitable growth. Question is, which earnings report will it be and/or will they release news on lay offs once unemployment really spikes. BUY THIS STOCK IN MY PINK ZONE AND HOLD 2-5 YEARS. my main concern right now is AI hype flushing down and/or there cash on hand and free cash flow continues on its down trend...

ALTS | TOP Altcoins for 2025Altcoins are forever growing and expanding, but it's important to look at coins that have a future BEYOND the first month of trading. Note that these will not be NEW alts, no microcaps, but rather alts that are worth considering in a portfolio. Let's first run through the several distinct types of altcoins, each with unique characteristics and purposes. With that, I will list some of the top altcoins to consider for 2025 in that category: Security Tokens These represent ownership in a traditional asset, such as shares in a company. They are subject to securities regulations and offer fractional ownership. Currently, the ones I'm watching are tZERO and SPiCEVC. The whole idea behind tZERO is to make trading digital securities just as easy and seamless as trading stocks on conventional markets. This makes it a game-changer for both investors and companies looking to tokenize their assets. SPiCE VC is a venture capital fund that’s making waves in the blockchain world by offering tokenized access to its portfolio. If you're not familiar with it, SPiCE VC is one of the pioneers in the security token space, and it gives investors the chance to gain exposure to a range of tokenized assets. The SPiCE token itself represents a share in the fund’s future profits, making it a really interesting option for those who want to diversify their investments without going through the traditional venture capital route. Payment Tokens Designed to function as a digital currency, these aim to facilitate peer-to-peer transactions and act as a medium of exchange. Bitcoin is the original example, and many altcoins attempt to improve upon its features such as transaction speed or scalability. 1) XRP | BITSTAMP:XRPUSD I'm no fan of XRP, but the potential collaboration with Bank of America could prove to be good for the price. 2) BNB | BINANCE:BNBUSDT Initially created to pay for fees on the Binance exchange, now used in various applications and transactions. Stablecoins These aim to minimize price volatility by pegging their value to a stable asset, most commonly a fiat currency like the US dollar. This peg can be maintained through various mechanisms, such as holding reserves of the pegged asset (fiat-backed)/ using algorithms to manage supply (algorithmic stablecoins) 1) USD Coin (USDC) | CRYPTOCAP:USDC Issued by Circle, USDC is known for its strong regulatory compliance and transparency. Circle is a regulated financial institution that holds reserves of US dollars and other highly liquid assets in segregated accounts at regulated financial institutions. 2) Tether (USDT) | CRYPTOCAP:USDT Issued by Tether Limited, USDT is the largest stablecoin by market capitalization. Utility Tokens These provide access to a specific product or service within a blockchain-based ecosystem. They are not designed as investments but rather as a means of accessing functionality within a network or platform. 1) ETH | COINBASE:ETHUSD Ethereum keeps growing, and its still the king of ALTs. 2) SOL | MEXC:SOLAUSDT Sol could be regarded as a major competitor to ETH, and at the current moment still has a bright future. 3) TON | OKX:TONUSDT Developed to offer payment services using technology created by Telegram, Toncoin could see growth in 2025. 4) ARB | BINANCE:ARBUSDT Arbitrum is a Layer-2 scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain, designed to improve transaction speed and reduce costs and could grow in 2025 and beyond. 5) AVAX | BINANCE:AVAXUSDT Focusing on high performance and scalability, Avalanche supports the creation of custom blockchain networks and decentralized application. Meme Coins These cryptocurrencies often originate as jokes or based on internet memes and trends. They typically lack underlying utility or technological innovation and their value is driven primarily by community hype and social media sentiment. 1) DOGE | BINANCE:DOGEUSDT Dogecoin is a classic, and still shows much room for growth both in upside potential (price) as well as adoption. 2) PEPE | BINANCE:PEPEUSDT Pepe has grown to an impressive market cap, and seems to be one of the meme's that are here to stay. (At least for a while). 3) WIF | CRYPTO:WIFUSD Dogwifhat is a little scary, fairly recently released and still has to retest opening levels. However, there is a large hype surrounding it and the general market seems to be optimistic about its future. _______________________ Note that these are just SOME of the great options. I'll do a dedicated post on promising microcaps soon.

THE LIQUIDITY PARADOX: Charting the Macro Environment for 2025WEN QE !? TL;DR there will be NO Quantitative Easing this cycle. YES the markets will still go to Valhalla. LIQUIDITY DRIVES MARKETS HIGHER. FULL STOP. Global M2 has a highly correlated inverse relationship with the US Dollar and 10Y Yield. Hence why we have been seeing the DXY and 10YY go up while Global M2 goes down. THE SETUP We are in a similar setup to 2017 when Trump took office. M2 found a bottom and ramped up, which toppled the DXY. Inflation nearly got cut in half until July 2017, where it then slowly started to creep back up as M2 and markets exploded. To much surprise, all this occurred while the Fed continued to RAISE INTEREST RATES. This was in part due to policy normalization with a growing economy coming out of the financial crisis and having near 0% interest rates for so long. In Q4 2014, the Fed paused QT, keeping its balance sheet near neutral for the next 3 years. As inflation started rising, QT was once again enacted, but very strategically with a slow roll-off in Q4 2017. This allowed markets to push further into 2018. THE PLAYBOOK M2 Global Money Supply: Higher Dollar: Lower Fed Funds Rates: Lower 10YY: Lower Fed Balance Sheet: Neutral Inflation: Neutral TOOLS Tariffs Deregulation Tax Cuts Tax Reform T-Bills HOW COULD WE POSSIBLY WEAKEN THE DOLLAR? Trump has been screaming from the mountain tops; TARIFFS. Tariffs will slow imports and focus more on exports to weaken the dollar. The strong jobs data that has been spooking markets and strengthening the DXY will be revised to show it’s much worse than numbers are showing. The Fed will pause QT, saying it has ample reserves, but not enable QE. At the same time, they could pause interest rate cuts to keep a leash on markets and not kickstart inflation. Then once all the jobs data is revised and markets get spooked at a softened economy (Q2), they will continue cutting. WHY DOES THE FED KEEP CUTTING RATES EVEN WITH A STRONG ECONOMY? In short, the Fed has to cut interest rates for the US to manage its debt. THE US government is GETTEX:36T in debt. In 2025, interest projections are well above $1T. That would put the debt on par with the highest line items in the national budget such as social security, healthcare and national defense. The Treasury manages its debt by issuing securities with various maturities. When rates are low, they can refinance or issue new debt. As rates rise, the cost of servicing debt increases, and vice versa. It’s one of the underlying reasons why the Fed cut (but no one will say it out loud)… hence why everyone is so confused and screaming that they cut too early and the bond vigilantes have been revolting. HOW DOES THE MONEY SUPPLY GO UP IF NO QUANTITATIVE EASING? We’ve seen this before. President Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent have been telling you their playbook. In 2017, deregulation and tax cuts led to an increase in disposable income from individuals and corporations. Banks created more money in the markets through lending based on increased economic activity. Global liquidity increased in other major central banks like the ECB, BOJ, and PCOB who were still engaged in QE, and / or maintained very low interest rates, which created more liquidity in the US money supply. We’re seeing the same thing now with Central Banks around the world. The tax reform allowed for the repatriation of overseas profits at a lower tax rate, which brought a significant amount of cash back to the US. Like 2017, the US Treasury will increase short-term bill issuance (T-Bills), providing an alternative to the Reverse Repo (RRP), which reduces RRP usage. This provides liquidity to the markets because once the T-bills mature, funds can use the proceeds to invest in other assets, including stocks. Banks will buy T-bills and sell in the secondary market or hold til maturity, where they can then lend the cash or invest in equities. Another strategy to inject cash into the banking system would be standard Repo Operations. Here the Fed buys securities from banks with an agreement to sell them back later. This would increase lending and liquidity. Hopefully now you can see why markets DON’T NEED QUANTITATIVE EASING ! That would for sure lead to rampant inflation (see 2021), and blow up the system all over again.

NVDA Multi-Asset Income StrategyRecently, I've been looking a lot at Yield Max ETFs and other options-based yield ETFS more generally such as QDTE, XDTE, RDTE, QQQI, SPYI, YQQQ (inverse), etc. One possible way to outperform SPY & QQQ, may be to consider investing in such ETFs, though this is purely theoretical s tradingview does not provide a quality backtesting software for a complex multi-asset, multi-directional strategy like this. Nothing in this strategy should be considered financial advice and there are various factors to consider, such as beta decay, mismanagement of the ETFs, tax advantages/disadvantages, reinvestment risk, risks associated with options in income-based derivatives, risks with leveraged assets, and the obviously risks with inverse assets. In this chart, we are looking at the leveraged ETF NVDL, which tracks NVDA. It's important to note that this asset will decay whenever NVDA trades sideways or goes down over substantial periods of time, and when NVDA goes down the negative % returns are multiplied. Therefore a trader or "sophisticated investor" (FINRA term) needs to not only optimize their position size for a trading period, but also optimize the timing of entry's and exits on multiple position. They will also want to model, volatility, decay, and reinvestment risk (arguably the hardest in this case. This post will not discuss the specifics of those and instead, these topics should be considered as a form of "homework" for you, the reader to think about and discuss in the comments as food for thought. In this theoretical multi-asset income strategy, risk is managed through the use of income based ETFs that are either bullish or bearish, I think of this as " directional income ". In this case, NVDY is the bullish income asset and DIPS is the bearish income asset, both of which pay dividend monthly and their price performance behaves very similar to a leveraged ETF, in the sense that they only really increase when the underlying the underlying asset moves in the direction of the income derivative. Theoretically, by managing position size with the use of a modified Kelly Criterion which accounts for fed rates, the decay of the asset, and timing (through technical analysis, seasonality and quantitative analysis), I wonder if a trader could swing-trade between various income-based derivatives and leveraged assets, in order to optimize both income and grow irrespective of market conditions. In truth, I'm still not sure if this is a completely degenerate idea no different to the way banks stacked bad loans together in 2008 and slapped a Grade A rating, and in the process over valued quantitative methods (see the book "Quants") as a sort of grad delusion to completely avoid risks, like a doctor wishing to delete pain from the world with an addictive pill, shilled by Big Pharma... Only in this case, instead of CMBS, it's ETF, leveraged ETFs, options on both, creating a derivative, then stacking more derivative on top of that... Who knows, though... Maybe this could be a way to profit from this madness? I honestly don't know. What I do know is, I find the idea of " directional income " as a hedge more appealing than an inverse leveraged ETF and I'm curious how to apply this to either a single asset or multi-asset portfolio. It's a very interesting idea and I plan to spend the year exploring this idea at the cost of my own capital, rather than someone else's capital.

Why is the GBP Selling Off?The GBP/USD pair has seen a significant drop, plunging to 1.2191, a level last witnessed in November 2023. This decline comes despite rising UK bond yields, with the 30-year yield reaching 5.47% and the 10-year yield at 4.8%, both historic highs not seen in decades. Typically, such yields would support the pound; however, lingering fears of inflation and fiscal instability have outweighed this effect. The UK faces economic challenges, including increased borrowing costs and fiscal constraints under Chancellor Rachel Reeves' leadership. Meanwhile, the US dollar continues to gain momentum, driven by strong economic indicators and rising Treasury yields. As traders monitor the unfolding fiscal policies in the UK and any shifts in US trade strategies, the GBP/USD pair is likely to remain volatile. Keep an eye on these developments, as they will be key drivers in determining future price action in this currency pair.

Deutsche Bank: Unlocking New Heights!Deutsche Bank AG ( NYSE:DB is currently trading at $17.48 , reflecting a slight decrease of 0.11% from the previous close. Our proprietary quantum probability indicator signals a strong buy, suggesting a favorable outlook for the stock. The technical chart reveals a bullish flag formation, characterized by an initial surge to the $17.20 resistance level, followed by a consolidation phase. A decisive breakout from this pattern indicates potential for continued upward movement, with a mid-term target of $24.31 . From a broader perspective, the development of a cup and handle pattern is evident. This bullish continuation pattern suggests a long-term projection above the major resistance at $27.28. Recent developments further support this positive outlook. Deutsche Bank has shifted its stance to "overweight" on European equities, citing lower interest rates and expectations of a strong corporate earnings season amid an improving political landscape. Analysts highlight that Europe offers the most attractive equity risk premium among developed markets, with the European benchmark index projected to rise by 15% by the end of 2025 . Additionally, Deutsche Bank's CEO, Christian Sewing , has emphasized the need for structural reforms and reduced regulations to enhance Germany's economic competitiveness, which could positively impact the bank's performance.

TSSI to $81 or higherOverview Total Site Solutions, Inc. ( NASDAQ:TSSI ) is an information technology company that provides software and services to its clients. They are involved in the setting up, maintenance, and deployment of various technological hardwares and softwares that assist their clients in remaining competitive. Technicals TSSI is up by 1,257.6% since May 2024. While no substantial trading patterns may be available to assist with navigation, fibonacci retracement levels could help in finding entry and exit points. If the share price can garner significant support between $11.55 and $12.25 then a potential bull flag may be in development. Fundamentals I like to do my research before investing in a company to make sure they are either profitable or have consistent revenue growth, even if the technicals look like a good opportunity at face value. I pulled annual reports as far back as 2020 in addition to reviewing all 2024 quarterly reports. Here is what I found: Annual Revenue has consistently increased since 2021-Q4 (average annual gain of 16.72%) Annual Gross Profit has consistently increased since 2021-Q4 (average annual gain of 19.06%) Annual Net Income has consistently increased since 2022-Q4 (average annual gain of 147.87%) The annual reports provoke confidence but it was the quarterly reviews that sealed the deal for me. After comparing the accumulative (Nine Months Ended) totals to the 2023 Annual Report, here is what I found: YTD Revenue has increased by 80.37% since 2023-Q4 Annual Report YTD Gross Profit has increased by 37.60% since 2023-Q4 Annual Report YTD Net Income has increased by 5,390.54% since 2023-Q4 Annual Report Price Target There are approximately 24,587,000 outstanding shares according to the Q3-2024 quarterly report, leaving the current market cap around $307M. At a modest market cap of two billion then this would leave TSSI's share price near $81. Now whether or not I would consider selling at this price range is completely dependent on the health of the company at that moment in time. If TSSI can continue its trajectory and growth, then this roller coaster ride could extend beyond the $81 price target.

BUY Rating: SBC Medical Group – A Compelling Growth StorySBC Medical Group Holdings (NASDAQ: SBC), a leader in end-to-end solutions for aesthetic clinics, has earned a "BUY" rating, reflecting its robust growth trajectory and strategic expansion initiatives. The company’s recent performance and forward-looking plans justify its valuation, presenting an attractive opportunity for investors. Valuation and Market Position Compared with SBC’s current price with a valuation target of $11, underscores its growth potential. Despite facing challenges like fluctuating exchange rates and integration costs from recent acquisitions, the company’s fundamentals remain strong. SBC’s market capitalisation stands at $697 million, supported by an annual revenue estimate of $217 million for 2024, reflecting a year-over-year growth of 12%. While SBC operates in the competitive medical aesthetics space, its comprehensive suite of consulting, marketing, and equipment leasing services distinguishes it from peers. The company’s ability to generate steady revenue and expand profit margins highlights its efficiency in leveraging its unique business model. International Expansion Driving Growth A pivotal driver of SBC's growth is its strategic acquisition of Aesthetic Healthcare Holdings (AHH) in Singapore. AHH operates 21 outlets under established brands like SkinGo! and The Chelsea Clinics. Singapore's business-friendly regulatory environment, strong economic growth, and status as a regional hub make it an ideal base for SBC’s expansion into Southeast Asia. Singapore’s GDP growth and high levels of U.S. foreign direct investment further validate SBC’s choice to focus on the region. This acquisition not only accelerates SBC's regional footprint but also positions the company to capitalise on the growing demand for aesthetic services across Asia. Financial Highlights SBC’s Q3 2024 revenue reached $53.1 million, a 12.3% year-over-year increase, with gross profit rising to $43.2 million and margins improving to 81.5% from 70.9% in the prior year. This growth was driven by a shift toward higher-margin revenue streams, including royalty income (29.6% of revenue) and procurement services (33.1%). The company’s decision to discontinue its lower-margin management services business has further enhanced its profitability. Net income for the quarter was $2.8 million, or $0.03 per share, with strong contributions from franchisee expansion and increased demand for aesthetic treatments. Financial Flexibility SBC's financial position is robust, with $137.4 million in cash and equivalents and less than $15 million in long-term debt as of Q3 2024. This financial flexibility enables the company to fund its growth strategies, including further acquisitions and geographic expansion. Strategic Initiatives Beyond its international expansion, SBC has entered partnerships to enhance customer loyalty and corporate wellness offerings. Its alliance with MEDIROM Healthcare in Japan integrates the loyalty programs of both companies, providing access to over 4 million members. SBC also launched SBC Wellness to offer corporate clients improved employee benefits, tapping into the growing demand for wellness services. Growth Catalysts The rising global acceptance of aesthetic medicine, coupled with SBC’s established expertise in high-demand procedures such as liposuction, breast augmentation, and eyelid surgery, positions the company for continued growth. With low market penetration for these services in Japan (estimated at 10%), there is significant upside as demand grows among younger and middle-aged demographics. Risks and Outlook While SBC faces risks such as foreign exchange fluctuations and potential challenges in integrating new acquisitions, its strong balance sheet and strategic focus mitigate these concerns. As the company continues to execute its growth initiatives, share price appreciation and valuation multiple expansion are likely. Conclusion SBC Medical Group Holdings presents a compelling investment opportunity, with a clear path to growth through strategic international expansion, enhanced profitability, and innovative partnerships. Its current valuation offers an attractive entry point for investors seeking exposure to the growing medical aesthetics sector. With strong financials and a proven business model, SBC is well-positioned to deliver long-term shareholder value.
