Intel just popped through a resistance lineThere's some chatter in both the US and Europe about subsidizing chip manufacturing to help deal with the semiconductor shortage. That has sent chip stocks surging today, including Intel. I like Intel a lot, because it's quite reasonably valued for a chip company and has lots of plans for expanding its manufacturing capacity, which means it's poised to be a big beneficiary from any subsidies. Here are some vital statistics: forward p/e: 12 forward p/s: 3 p/fcf: 12 forward div yield: 2.6% patents per year per B$ market cap: 14 upside to median 4-year valuation: 8% upside to average analyst price target: 20% average S&P Global fundamentals rating: 70/100 average analyst score: 8/10 esg score: above average put-call ratio: 0.9 Honestly, I think this is a long-term buy-and-hold. I had hoped for a dip to $52.20, but it looks like we may not get that low. Look for a close above resistance as confirmation of a breakout here. If we pull back and close below the resistance line, that's a signal that we may continue down to $52.20 after all.

Nasdaq 100 price projection experimentHey there! Sharing some thoughts on what's driving Nasdaq 100 price. Simple answer is Capital, but what can we see on chart? March 2020 was a volume epicenter, it's significant enough to be called a starting point. Since then, price was on the rise, but volume peaked lower and lower, especially on market sell-offs. The colored fan is projecting sentiment on market and economy. As price increase starts to slow, we're entering new zone of less positive sentiment. But anything can happen, and we might repeat a similar pattern as in summer of 2019. Let me know what you think and let's see what happens. Vova

Buying the dip on PRGSNasdaq's sharp drop is creating a few buying opportunities in tech, but I think you have to be choosy. One that I like is Progress Software, which is sitting at 200 EMA support and near trend line support, with a forward P/E of 12 and a 1.8% dividend yield. Progress is fairly innovative, with 3 patents per year per billion dollars of market cap, and it's a growing company, with about 3% annual earnings and free cash flow growth. It's trading at about a 14% discount to its median earnings date price multiple of the last 4 years, and about a 37% discount to the average annual price target. Sentiment on Progress is positive. Put/call ratio is bullish at .43, and it just launched a new product (latest release of Kendo UI, with lots of new features) just this morning. The analyst rating score is 8.9/10, a strong buy. Earnings outlook is positive. Here's the presser on the Kendo UI launch: investors.progress.com

Space Aliens and Lockheed MartinSpace Aliens and Lockheed Martin Within this brief essay on Lockheed Martin we are going to discuss technicals and fundamentals. Fundamentals: F-35 Concerns. For months the press has been all over Lockheed for many technical issues with the F-35, and policy makers have been hitting on the cost of the F-35. (Citation) www.defensenews.com Here is a quote from NBC: "And even the relatively low $80 million-per-F-35 price tag is deceptive, because the F-35 has proven so expensive and challenging to maintain that every hour an F-35 is flown costs $36,000 on average, compared to $22,000 for an F-16. By an alternate metric, the F-35 is over three times more expensive per hour to fly." UFO Fragments Are Likely In Lockheed Martin’s Possession, Says Ex-Sen. Harry Reid (Citation) deadline.com In this day and age of meme stocks, let's explore some of the additional hype around this topic. The space alien article is from Deadline, and in and of itself is not very meaningful on first glance. However its essential that we then evaluate the avalanche of additional information that has hit us on this Space Alien topic. “Dr. Xinli Wei, a microbiologist from the Chinese Academy of Science; Dr. Rudolph Schild, an astrophysicist from Harvard-Smithsonian; and Dr. Rhawn Gabriel Joseph, also known as the Space Tiger King, were the ones who made the claims following study of images snapped by the Curiosity rover of NASA on Mars and the orbiting craft, HiRISE. Their study, Fungi on Mars? Evidence of Growth and Behavior From Sequential Images, published in published in the Advances in Microbiology journal and is presently accessible via a reprint, which has been met with skepticism from the scientific community, contends that what NASA identified as rocks are in fact, fungus-like samples that grow in the Martian landscape.The three experts also claimed that the said mushrooms appeared to shrink, appear and disappear over a number of days, weeks, and even months. In one instance, the team said there is evidence of fungi similar to Puffballs on this planet "re-sprouting" in tracks that the NASA Curiosity rover left behind. (Citation) www.sciencetimes.com The NYT article advising a DOD employee saying the US has “Off-World Vehicles Not Made on This Earth” And yes Harry Reid was all over getting the budget approved in the black budget of the Pentagon. (Citation) www.popularmechanics.com www.nytimes.com (Citation) www.nytimes.com The Recent New Yorker article just data dumping a concatenation of events throughout history (Citation) www.newyorker.com Additional comments from the DOD/Navy confirming additional UAP sightings as valid. (Citation) www.cnn.com (Citation) www.cnn.com Scientific America commenting on the signal we received supposedly from a nearby star system (ironically the closest one to us) this needs to be peer reviewed a lot more, but for a prestigious scientific publication to be talking about an alien species and advising us that they are most likely "boring?" (Citation) www.scientificamerican.com Harvard's Professor advising Aliens already gave us a drive by. And he is essentially saying the scientific community played ostrich if you read his book. (Citation) nypost.com Most recent Director of National Intelligence (Literally controlled intelligence agencies like the CIA) saying...they are real and they are happening all over the planet? Oh and his last two predecessors say the same thing... (Citation) www.washingtonexaminer.com (Citation) www.washingtonpost.com Negative news is that Marco Rubio advised the UFO report may be delayed, but if that is to add additional content that may not be all that terrible (Citation) wreg.com Israeli space security chief says extraterrestrials exist, and Trump knows about it (Citation) www.nbcnews.com (Citation) www.wsj.com Ex-CIA director believes UFOs could exist after pal’s plane ‘paused' (Citation) nypost.com So after spending years researching the topic since the insane 2017 NYT bombshell drop ( www.nytimes.com ) the top three additional comments are: They have taken down our nuclear inventory. Yes you may have noticed every source here could be included in any academic publication, and yes you read that correctly. They have shut down nukes, which is an act of war. (Citation) www.cbsnews.com (Citation) www.newyorker.com They seem to dwell, or spend an unusually large amount of time in the ocean There are countless examples including almost all authenticated DOD videos, and the Navy comment in politico advising the regular activity with oceans, and the Puerto Rico DOD video, along with the recent Hawaii confirmed video. These things seem to abide in the water - Top Gun Pilot Cmdr Favor from the Nimitz event encountered one 50ft above the ocean and he states it was above a much larger craft that was in the ocean. You can listen to Chris Mellon and other insiders to get a better perspective, but this is odd. (Citation) www.wwlp.com Final concern was Donald Trumps comment when asked about it on Fox news near the end of his presidency. (This issue is bipartisan as we are all on team humanity) he countered the question by advising how "tough and great" our military is. And if you listen to Chris Mellon and Lue Elizondo and other insiders I think the 'sad' truth is what we find out in the June report (This comment is speculation) the military is going to confirm the phenomena is real to the senate (although they already have been to publications) they are going to need more money and funding, and they are going to say they do not know who is piloting them, or continue to be vague about it. The concern is our military and tech are not transmedian, or entirely invisible, powered with a propulsion system that can go over 3,000g's (Video Interview New York Post) www.youtube.com (Citation) www.c4isrnet.com My recommendation is just play the hype in this new day & age of meme 'stonks'. Even if ALL of this does not materialize and it is all fake - the rumor itself about Lockheed having alien tech is real, and the company is well run. I am long LMT from buying the dip and will continue to accumulate if we experience any further dips. We can clearly see here that technically the trend has changed. The ema ribbon has "fipped" and to overly simplify this.. the lines are point up. Additional Reading Material on F-35A: breakingdefense.com www.thedrive.com Recommend for those with further interest in researching the metamaterials that they are testing now as well. The leading researcher advised it was assembled at the "subatomic level" and "assembled in space". If you enjoyed this content friends, and if you have ever seen a UFO/UAP/USO (yes USO, submergibles/transmedian!!) please be sure to share it with others! And please hit this with a like! Lockheed Martin is my favorite play when it comes to trading off the revelation that aliens are real. For swing traders, easy target at $420

I think you buy IBM and hold it for a decadeIBM dipped after its earnings report Friday and now sits at an important support level. While I'd love for it to dip to $110 or even $100 so I could place a larger buy order there, I have my doubts that it will dip that far. Dips have been hard to come by in this bull market. And while IBM had a disappointing quarter, executives forecasted that it will be back on track to sustainable revenue growth by the end of the year. For a technology stock, IBM is surprisingly inexpensive. I've currently got the stock's forward P/E at about 10.5, and forward P/S at about 1.4. Compare that to, say, Microsoft with a forward P/E over 30 and a forward P/S over 10. In addition to providing a good earnings yield, I forecast that IBM will yield 5.8% in dividends over the next year. Overall, I estimate that IBM has over 17% upside to its median price-to-value ratio of the last four years. The reason IBM is so cheap is that its EBITDA per share has been in a long, slow slide for the last ten years. For the last four years, EBITDA has shrunk over 1% per year. Sales growth over the last four years was barely positive, with a growth rate of 0.01%. However, I'm not convinced that these are the most relevant numbers. EBITDA is not a very good measure of profitability, and in fact its current popularity in the investment world is a bit worrisome. A better metric is IBM's free cash flow, which has grown about 0.5% per year over the last four years. And its dividend has grown about 1% per year. So personally I think the company has already turned a corner to the upside in terms of profitability. Plus, IBM has unusually good ESG ratings and generally positive market sentiment, with put/call ratios looking quite bullish and average analyst price target 15% above the current price. Most importantly, I think IBM has incredible potential as a technology leader. They've had more patents than any other company, by a wide margin, for 27 years running. They're averaging 82 patents per year per billion dollars of market cap, which means you're buying an incredible amount of cutting-edge technology for the price you pay. Of the companies I follow, the next best value in terms of patents-to-market-cap is HPE, with just 26 patents-per-year-per-billion. And IBM's patents are in potentially world-changing fields, like AI and quantum computing. This is by far the best value in the market for a Singularity technology play. And that, more than anything else, is why I think you buy IBM here and hold it for a decade. IBM has crossed into the lower half of its ten-year triangle and has fairly good risk-reward within the triangle from here. Assuming it eventually breaks out of the triangle to the upside, I'd expect it to eventually recapture its 2012 highs over $200 per share.

SNAP Buy setupSnapchat parent company Snap Inc (NYSE:SNAP) showed strength in its advertising revenue in the first quarter. Analysts saw many positives from the quarterly earnings report. Snap's first quarter checked all three boxes of revenue, users and EBITDA that Nowak was watching. Snap’s advertiser base nearly doubled year-over-year in the first quarter. Up-front advertiser commitments grew by more than 50%, including a tripling of year-over0year up-front commitments for commercials from branded advertisers. With initiatives like SNAP’s partnership with Gannett helping in developing relationships with SMBs across North America and integrating those businesses into products like Snap Map. Snap has great potential technically and fundamentally for share price growth.

ADOBE possible FLAG formation !The technology sector is preparing to make a new high. Many stocks are after a consolidation period since September. We can clearly see that ADBE testing its highest high , so watch it. As always, diversify. If the flag pattern will follow through a big move is about to happen, one that worth risking on a trade. Previous pulse waves were relatively smooth. Side note: if you are familiar with Wyckoff theory, SPRING just happened in March... which is also a possible positive sign for a shoot up :)

$TYLStrong support on the trendline & 200dMA(blue). 20dMA (green) crossing upwards through the 50dMA(red) which is medium term bullish signal. Our STOCH is hanging around in oversold territory currently & just recently has a nice hammer candle. Some DD - Tyler Technologies just recently acquired ReadyStub, which makes scheduling software for school districts. ReadyStub works with approx. 1k school districts across the United States & TYL already has 2k school districts as clients. Some would say TYL is significantly overvalued, but the long term return of this company I love. Its projected to grow 10.78% annually over the next five years. They have strong financial strength with a good cash to debt ratio and interest coverage. They are at 30.47 which is better than 75% of the companies in the software industry. $TYL has been profitable 10 times over the last 10 years. Over the past 12 months the company has had a revenue of $1.1 billion dollars. Its operating margin is 15.49% which ranks them better than 82% of the companies in software industry. This is not financial advice, I am not a financial advisor. This is solely my opinion.
