NEM : RESET / POSITION TRADE / HEDGENewmont Mining just came off a record quarter in Q3 with free cash flow of ~$1.3 billion, and increased its dividend by 60% to $1.60 per share annually.
Despite these bullish developments, the stock has slumped with the rest of the sector, down more than 20% from its August highs.
This correction has left the stock trading below 13x FY2021 annual EPS estimates, with a dividend that's 70% higher than that of the S&P 500.
Therefore, if we see any further weakness below $57.25, I would view this as a low-risk buying opportunity for long-term investors looking for steady free cash flow and yield.

GOOGL : RESET / POSITION TRADETo sum up everything, GOOGL is a great business. Search is wonderful, and provides a continuous tailwind for the business. There's very little that can stop GOOGL, including competitors and the government. My favorite reason to own GOOGL is its huge pile of cash, which provides a tremendous margin of safety, to weather any storm. That cash also offers wonderful optionality, including the possibility of buybacks. Personally, I'm a buyer up to $2K.

ZM : BASE 0 DURATION / POSITION TRADEZoom's long-term investment thesis is alive. It remains the best-of-breed for work-from-home communication solutions. Zoom has become a verb, very much like 'Skype,' 'Google,' and 'DocuSign.' This achievement alone demonstrates Zoom possesses an incredible combination of moats in branding and network effects. As it grows, it adds more value, and users will find it very hard to leave. Unsurprisingly, Zoom is now a $100B company. But it isn't going to stop.
Competitive advantage/moat
Moats are commonly categorized into four types: Network effects, low costs, high switching cost, and intangible assets.
Zoom possesses the most powerful ones, network effects, and brand name. Zoom is reliable, easy to use, and easily deployable. Zoom's net promoter score ('NPS') is incredibly high +70. Competitors do not even compare. None has the virality effect in 2020, quite like Zoom.
As Zoom expands features, use cases, and integrates deeper into other platforms, we believe Zoom would also acquire the high switching cost moat. While this moat isn't seen as necessary as the first two, it would help Zoom to retain customers and maintain a large user base to monetize.
Revenue was $777M, up 367% YoY from $167M, an acceleration of 17% from $646M in Q2'21. Q3'21 revenue was 24% higher than its entire revenue in FY20.
International revenue was 30% and grew 629% vs. 300% domestically.
Gross margin was 68.2%, a significant drop from 83% YoY and 72.3% QoQ due to a considerable increase in free users' usage, particularly in K-12 education intuitions. During the quarter, Zoom recorded 3.5 trillion meeting minutes, up 75% QoQ. Once Covid-related usage diminishes, we expect gross margin to improve towards Zoom's long-term target.
Operating margin was 37.4%, up from 12.8% in Q3 last year, and a decrease from Q2'21's margin of 41.7%. The figure is still extremely high and demonstrates exceptional operating leverage.
Free cash flow was £388M, up from $55M in Q3 last year. That's a 50% free cash flow margin (!). Management intends to maintain a high R&D budget of 10% of sales over the long-term. Thus, Zoom's high free cash flow generation allows Zoom to continue fuelling growth.
The outlook is excellent in our view. The FY21 revenue of 2.58B is a five-fold increase from FY20. Q4'21 revenue will be almost 40% higher than the entire revenue in FY20.
Remember that Zoom is a best-of-breed SaaS company that can touch everyone (almost)'s lives. In effect, Zoom is listening, watching, and collecting the most granule data from people's lives, at work and home. The data Zoom collects provides optionality long into the future. For the short to medium term, Zoom Phone, better monetization, K-12 free users' conversion, and expansion into telehealth, commerce, workflow, fitness, and internationally should provide a surprise boost to Zoom's growth.

SLV : RESET / POSITION TRADESLV: Breakout Potential
SUMMARY :
The iShares Silver Trust ETF is trading under pressure and the instrument has lost more than 17% of its value since August 10th, 2020.
However, irrational exuberance in stock markets, a negative unemployment trend in the U.S., and an alarming surge in U.S. money supply could help SLV to break above prior highs.
As a potential breakout trigger, we will be watching the $24 level because we think that a sustained bullish move here could extend into a much wider rally into 2021.

ACTC : COIL / POSITION TRADEArcLight (ACTC) is bringing Proterra to market at a reasonable valuation.
Proterra is a best in class commercial electric vehicle company with a solid offering, organization, and plan making it much more than an EV bus company.
Since its founding in 2004 and first bus delivery in 2009 Proterra has sold more than 1,000 EV buses in North America, the largest in region, and has a 50% market share.
The company has installed over 450 charge points. The plan is to be able to deliver peak power to handle hundreds of vehicles with fleet chargers some of which are capable of charging 40 buses at a time. The company is focused on building out fleet depots, en-route top up locations, and warehouse charging locations using existing infrastructure where possible.
Unlike many of their EV peers the price to sales ratio on any near term year is still fairly inexpensive at 13.8x compared to a lot higher levels from SPAC EVs of late.
Gross margins are expected to plateau around 25% which is likely to be more than attainable in our experience. They have a roadmap plotted to achieve this via scale and component improves by 2025 from current levels of 4%.

FUBO : COIL / POSITION TRADEFubo Stock Forecast: Up, But What To Consider In 2021
Fubo is a sports-focused alternative to cable TV. Shares have risen sharply since their IPO.
The company is developing a sportsbook that integrates with their TV platform. I think this is a brilliant strategy.
Their convertible debt is a better deal than the stock, but the shares could be worth a flier.
Some back-of-the-envelope calculations on how much Fubo stock could be worth. There's tremendous upside if they pull off integrating a sportsbook into their TV service.
Fubo is a fun play that has the potential to 20x in value if they execute properly over the next few years due to their explosive subscriber growth and potential monetization of sports betting.

DOTBTC : POLKADOT POSITION TRADEPolkadot: Networking For Blockchains
The Polkadot blockchain aims to provide interoperability and security to other blockchains, helping to solve issues like scalability.
In a multi-blockchain world, interoperability could be a potentially valuable function. If a small number of blockchains becomes dominant this value proposition will be significantly weakened though.
Polkadot is currently the leading interoperability blockchain, but its value is uncertain and dependent on how the blockchain ecosystem evolves in the future.

XLMUSD : COIL / POSITION TRADEPut simply, Stellar is an open network that allows money to be moved and stored. When it was released in July 2014, one of its goals was boosting financial inclusion by reaching the world’s unbanked — but soon afterwards, its priorities shifted to helping financial firms connect with one another through blockchain technology.
Fees are a sticking point for many. However, high costs when making cross-border payments aren’t just exclusive to fiat-based payments solutions such as PayPal — transaction fees have also been known to go through the roof on the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains because of congestion.
Stellar is unique because every transaction costs just 0.00001 XLM. Given how one unit of this cryptocurrency only costs a few cents at the time of writing, this helps ensure that users keep more of their money.
Few blockchain projects have managed to secure partnerships with big-brand technology companies and fintech firms. A few years ago, Stellar and IBM teamed up to launch World Wire, a project that allowed large financial institutions to submit transactions to the Stellar network and transact using bridge assets such as stablecoins.
ADAUUSD : COIL / POSITION TRADECardano’s latest protocol update will be a game-changer and could play a key role in triggering the ascent for the ADA price.
Alonzo promises major makeover
IOHK, the development team behind Cardano, announced the next protocol level update for Cardano, known as “Alonzo.” The roadmap reveals that this upgrade will arrive in the summer of this year.
The recent announcement reads,
Alonzo will add support for smart contracts – digital agreements – to Cardano about four months from now. It will open up opportunities for businesses and developers, by allowing the creation of smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps) for decentralized finance (DeFi).
The latest announcement comes after Cardano received two critical updates, the multi-asset support functionality and the Plutus platform. These updates will serve as a foundation on which the Alonzo update will be built.
This development will be implemented using IOHK’s hard fork combinator technology and will make Cardano a versatile platform for building smart contracts that fuel business needs.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:
ADA has been consolidating for the past 6 weeks. A conviction break-out and close above its 2018 high could potentially signal the beginning of the next rally.

LINKUSD : COIL / POSITION / SWING TRADEChainlink is a decentralized oracle network that brings off-chain data into an on-chain format, bridging the gap between the isolated blockchain and real-world data.
It aims to ensure that the external information (pricing, weather data, event outcomes) fed to smart contracts remains untampered with.
Chainlink is built on top of the Ethereum blockchain and Chainlink (LINK) is the native token of the protocol. LINK is used to pay Chainlink network operators for their services.
Smart contracts are the “If-This, Then-That” software code through which instructions will be executed when specific conditions are met. However, smart contracts can read only on-chain data.
For smart contracts to read real-world data, they must find a way to connect and synchronize with external data sources. This is where oracles are used as the ‘bridge’ that allows off-chain data to be made available on-chain.
The Chainlink protocol is a decentralized network of nodes that enables real-world data to be made available on-chain.
Chainlink’s main users are project developers who want to integrate Chainlink into their projects or those who want to sell their data and become part of the participating nodes.
Some of the notable players participating in the Chainlink ecosystem include Aave, Synthetix, Yearn.Finance, and Google.

ATOMUSD : COIL / SWING / POSITION TRADEThe Internet of Blockchains.
Cosmos is an ever-expanding ecosystem of interconnected apps and services, built for a decentralized future.
The long-awaited vision of the Cosmos blockchain has now been realized, as holders of the ATOM (+9.69%) token have voted through inter-blockchain communication (IBC), enabling assets to transfer easily between blockchains.
The final vote to enable the feature was 112 million to 75, overwhelmingly in support of activation.
In the simplest terms, IBC enables messages to travel between blockchains that have implemented the standard. The most obvious use case in crypto is sending messages to transfer tokens off one chain and onto another.

SILJ : RESET / POSITION TRADESILJ is likely to outperform the metal on the next leg higher
Now could be the perfect time to purchase silver mining shares on a scale-down basis before the next leg to the upside.
Silver mining shares tend to outperform the price of silver on the upside and underperform during price corrections. Therefore, they act as leveraged tools for the silver market. Most leveraged products involve time decay as they use put and call options to create the gearing. However, silver mining shares have no expiration dates. The leverage comes from the ability to extract more silver at higher production costs from the earth's crust as the price of the metal appreciates.
As we return to a more normal economy, we are going to face challenges. No one knows what is ahead. The 10 year note is beginning to indicate that there are some inflationary pressures. Rates have hit 175 as a recent high. The 10 year note is anticipating inflation. But interest rates cannot go up. In the 1970s, even though we had inflation, the debt was not that much of a problem and the US dollar had just come off the gold standard, so we could print a lot of money. Today, we are in a very different situation. We have massive debt of almost $30 trillion and the US dollar has lost most of its value. As the government prints more and more money, the dollar will continue to lose value, and gold and silver are becoming increasingly attractive investments.

EURJPY - Bearish SharkThe bearish shark pattern on the weekly chart has finally formed up(check out the link at the bottom), it took me months waiting for the formation and trading is all about patience.
Right now I'm waiting for the double top pattern to form on the 4hourly chart for an aggressive trade.
Could this be the trade of the year, I certainly hope so.
"GBPUSD" Longas we can see illustrated above we have broke out of the downward trendline for this pair and what this means is that we should look at the next zone of co-influence which in our case it will be our second touch of the trendline at 1.7000-1.72300 , in short based on the monthly look for longing opportunities but these will be clear after we create the new monthly low which should be around 1.346xx which is in line with a zone that hasnt been fully retested!!!
LINKUSDT technical chypher pattern ~ Position projection• Technical analysis regarding the price of CHAINLINK for the next scenarios, based on daily movement.
• The price comes in an upward trend, with higher tops, made its correction, returned to form an ascending top and made another correction, which can be analyzed by the cypher graphic pattern, where the projected price for this bullish reversal is at 19.784, there may be strong momentum in these moments of the altseasons.
