Is it time for Value Stocks? Lumen Technologies case studyIn a market where most stock valuations have skyrocketed to Mars, Lumen Technologies is one of the bright exceptions,
being perhaps one of the safest investments available, for the investor to sleep soundly at night. LUMN has great fundamentals
and is a much underestimated VALUE STOCK, ready to change the declining trend of many years to rising.
In an article he wrote a year ago, Jeff Storey, CEO of Lumen Technologies (rebranded CenturyLink), stated: ‘During the last century,
telephone companies pioneered early networks by standing up poles and stringing phone wires across the nation. Today, the new
pioneers are tech companies like CenturyLink who are standing up networks and stretching fiber across the globe—and in the process,
making exciting technologies like 5G possible’.
Lumen Technologies is an international facilities-based communications company engaged primarily in providing a broad array
of integrated services to business and residential customers in over 60 countries. Lumen’s enterprise technology platform enables
companies to capitalize on emerging applications and power the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR).
Lumen Technologies states that ‘Lumen is the fastest, most secure platform for next-gen business applications and data, integrating global
network infrastructure, cloud connectivity, edge computing, connected security, voice, collaboration and enterprise-class services into a seamless experience’.
Lumen is ranked No. 29 on Washington Technology's 2020 Top 100 list of federal government IT contractors.
From a fundamental analysis point of view, LUMN with capitalization 12.54B (11.43 $/share), P/E 9.57, P/S 0.58, P/B 0.91, EV/EBITDA 5.27,
Div. Yield 8.85%, Intrinsic Value 16 $, Buffetts Limit 18$, can be considered as a cheap stock. The only negative element is Debt to equity ratio which is 2.41.
From a technical analysis point of view, LUMN’s monthly diagram shows that the stock is possibly in the process of trend changing. The three
preceding years, while the stock reaching its bottom the volume rose to historical levels, which means that shares changed hands from retail
to smart money. Also notice the break-up of the RSI declining trend line and the divergences that appeared.
Next follows LUMN’s daily diagram.
Notice that stock’s price is over 200d, 30d and 9d SMAs. Additionally, notice the consolidation and resistance zones and that the RSI is in high overbought zone,
so the correction of prices or a short period of consolidation is possible.
Next follows LUMN’s 30 minutes diagram.
Notice that stock’s price is over 200(30m), 30(30m) and 9(30m) SMAs. Also notice the up trending channel and that prices are in the middle of the channel and the
Bollinger Bands, while MACD and RSI are declining, indicating a possible pullback or more likely a consolidation in these levels, until reaching the channel’s lower trend line.
Conclusively, I think no investor should ignore LUMN, because it is very likely to be A SUCCESS TURN TREND STORY that may give big gains in 2021 (and next years) with MINIMUM INVESTMENT RISK.
Of course the stock is suitable not only for long term investors, but also for short and mid term traders as well.
Finally, I encourage you not to lean on my analysis but to make your own research for the company before investing in LUMN.
I am on the TeamAtlassian has been a great performer over the past year and that trend might continue into 2021. Going long with a stop at 219 looking all time highs is a decent risk/reward opportunity. Earnings could be a catalyst as well.

This trade was sickTDOC has gone from a range reversal trade to a potential breakout. I am very happy holding for now but I am watching how price reacts to the top end of the range. As long as price can hold above 220 the trend is still positive even if there is a little profit taking to come.
Head in the cloudsCloudera has been consolidating near range highs and could be a breakout candidate. If the stock can hold above the 12.39 area over the coming weeks, the next move might be 16.
AMC shares rose After $100M Secured-Debt IssuanceAMC Entertainment Jumps After $100M Secured-Debt Issuance
AMC issued $100 million in debt of five-year secured notes. to help finance operations through the pandemic.
In December the Leawood, Kan., company had secured a commitment for the debt financing from Mudrick Capital Management, the New York investment adviser.
Interest on the notes is 15% a year, payable in cash semiannually beginning July 15. For the first three interest periods after the issue date the company can choose payment-in-kind interest at a rate of 17% a year. After that interest must be paid in cash. The notes mature April 24, 2026.
Late last month, AMC filed with the SEC to offer as many as 50 million shares in an effort to avoid a bankruptcy filing.
That filing came on top of 200 million shares it filed for earlier in the month.
AMC has said it needs $750 million.
“And in the event of such future liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, holders of our common stock and other securities would likely suffer a total loss of their investment,” it said in the filing.

Breakout could be underway Google held the range high support area and is bouncing strong today. If 1700 holds the stock could be headed to all-time highs. Google can face regulatory pressure but no where near the amount Facebook potentially will. The company also has many more levers to pull and in the worst case a breakout could actually be positive for the stock.
Going for the WYNN As wynn retests the range high support zone, I am looking for a further breakout toward the 120 area. As long as 100 holds the trend still appears to be bullish. Obviously the digitization of gaming is a huge secular shift but it doesn't mean that the incumbents like wynn wont prosper in the new environment. And I cant speak for anyone else but a weekend at a wynn resort in a post vaccine world sounds like a good idea. Same goes for LVS for that matter.

Decent risk reward setupI am definitely not trying to Zoom post the COVID vaccine but what I am trying to do or how I feel means nothing to the market.
Parabolic watchThe stocks run has been incredible after the range breakout. I don't have a fundamentally bearish view of the company but a pause seems imminent especially if the rate of change has peaked.
Setup for this weekAMD has broken down back into the broader range and is showing relative weakness. If we can get above Fridays close we could see a move back toward the high end of the range and a breakout but if the near term resistance holds we will see a move down. Earnings will definitely be a factor but are still a couple of weeks out.
Potential breakout into earningsThe stock has been in a range since August but earnings could be a catalyst for a further move higher
SetupAs we break through the range lows we will either have continuation to the downside or a reversal back higher into the range. Range highs and lows are the most important action areas and offer the best risk reward setups
BlackBerry sold 90 smartphone technology patents to HuaweiShares of BlackBerry (NYSE:BB) soared Thursday despite an apparent lack of company-specific news. Investors may have been responding to a report published earlier this week that said the company sold some of its patents to Huawei.
Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail reported Tuesday that BlackBerry had sold 90 smartphone technology patents to the Chinese technology giant Huawei.
BlackBerry stopped manufacturing smartphones back in 2016, but the company still has a large number of patents relating to those devices. Selling some of them is yet another clear sign that it has moved on and is putting its efforts into other businesses.
investors may be continuing to express their positive sentiment toward the tech stock, which is up more than 100% over the past six months.

Reversal back into the range? #stocksThe Chart: If price can break this down trendline I am looking for the stock to move higher back into the range. Looking for the opposite of the downward reversal back on December 8.
The Narrative: Despite the reopening online sales will continue to grow. Although Amazon is increasing becoming a competitor, the shipping market is largely a duopoly and as the economy improves they should have pricing power.
