Shortselling

DPW ShortI share this idea to help educate those trying to learn how to trade stocks. Many will throw tomatoes at me, but hopefully one of you can find this post valuable in your journey. I will keep this relatively brief. Let's start with the most recent DPW 10-Q found here: www.bamsec.com First, check the date and shares outstanding, then proceed to the balance sheet. The balance sheet is a snapshot of the companies health. I want you guys to take a look at the current asset section and compare it to the current liabilities section. The current assets are all items to which the business can turn to cash within a year. In DPW's case, we are looking at a total of $9.96 million. If we go down and look at the current liabilities of the business, we see that DPW has accounts payable of $13.5 million. This means that DPW has to somehow figure out how to turn all of its current assets into cash to pay those which it owes money to, or generate enough cash from its business. It is also important to note that DPW only had $876k in cash at this time. This leaves a lot of pressure on the business to perform so it can pay its bills. If we go to the income statement, we will find that DPW's business is experiencing difficulties in profitability as the business's operating income is -$3.9 million. This leaves management in a difficult situation. They must attempt to raise capital; there are a few ways in which a business can raise cash. Without going into too much detail, you can issue debt or equity. Given the struggle of DPW, debt doesn't seem to be a current option. Thus the company elects to raise capital by selling ownership to investors. When the company does this, they issue new shares; this increases the supply. If you have never taken an economics course when supply increases, demand must also increase in order for the price to stay the same. Considering the desperate need for cash so the business can pay its upcoming bills, the company must try to create demand for shares in order to offset the incoming supply of stock. They seem to be doing this by issuing PRs which you must evaluate for yourself. Note I only touched briefly on the current liabilities and accounts payable is only 1 line of many. The business has $26 million in current liabilities, which must be addressed. Given the current asset position and the performance of the business, It is important to evaluate the business for yourself and follow the moves the management team makes as your investment depends greatly on their ability to manage the situation successfully. Generally, in cases of this kind, shareholders are sacrificed in order to keep the business alive. For a bonus check out DPW's additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. Perhaps even go back and research the companies past and some of the management team to ensure this is the right investment for you.

RKDA ShortRKDA has been around since 2002. Market seems to really like this one lately, I don't see much reason. Stock has endless losses and now making deals with former MLB star Shane Victorino to get exposure to hemp. CEO leaving and CFO taking the reigns. Company anticipating $30 million in revenue but there seems to be a good bit of warrants overhead. I think regardless of optimism, company will need to raise capital at some point in the next year. I am skeptical to say the least and short the stock .

TESLA INC Potential Shorting Opportunity Coming UpTesla is a stock that has very big swings up and down, forming a ranges over a long period of time, each time the stock breaks through a KEY LEVEL in the market, it puts a retracement and creates a new range. In April TESLA INC broke through the 250 level (Bottom range of the channel) potentially looking to create another rage. Traders can look to take advantage of this by selling retracement back up towards 275 - 315 targeting 180 levels allowing your stops to be above the highs at 390-400 levels When a stock moves side ways or in a range the best tool to have is the FIB RETRACEMENT (between 50%-60% retracement) to get back in to a trade

Clear Bearish Pennant Pattern on USDCHF After the strong bearish impulse the price as started a corrective movement. Creating one of the most effective patterns (Bearish Pennant) when it comes to follow the trend. Concluding I think it is a good opportunity to enter short as soon as we have the confirmation from the price breaking corretion´s support line. This market analysis is just a investment idea, the same shouldn't be taken as a financial counseling without risk envolved. CFD´s are very complex financial products that can result on the loss of most capital invested

AUDUSD Price RejectionAfter the strong bullish impulse the asset´s price touches now an interesting red zone, and also the resistance line that has maintained the price from the beginning of October 2017. The price is now under big pressure after the massive impulse, it could possible turn into a range at the 0.76386 area. By now it´s expected that we´ll see a bearish movement. But do not forget that the bias remains bullish until it passes the 0.76386 area. This market analysis is just a investment idea, the same shouldn't be taken as a financial counseling without risk envolved. CFD´s are very complex financial products that can result on the loss of most capital invested
