Value

LONG Citigroup, most undervalued US bankReasons to buy: -one of warren buffet's recent buys -Trading below 5 year avg p/b valuations (0.80) at 0.51 -Book value of 94USD per share, fair value = 75USD per share VS current price of 46USD (63% upside) -4% dividend yield -Cheapest out of all US banks -Rising interest rates pushes up Net interest margins While slowing economic growth will curtail near-term loan growth, expect that rising interest rates, robust economic growth, and moderating inflation will provide a good tailwind for banks. These factors will lead to rising interest income, maintaining low default rates, and lowering charge offs.

035. PIGGISH PLAY - Long Royal Gold Inc. (RGLD)Royal Gold Inc. is now positioned for the holy grail of bullish baggers. The bags on this trade are so big that I had to steal a pot from some greedy leprechaun in order to fit all the potential gains in one location. For a visual perspective of the potential gainz on this trade, see the upper-right-hand part of the chart for the 'Pig Pot'. I also sometimes keep weed in there, so please leave that bag alone/let me know if you happen to find it. I. Fundamental Briefing: This will be the second Pig Play in a row where I touch upon the fundamental situation of the underlying company's financials. I usually prefer to keep it technical because that is the only moral basis to take a trade. But the fundamental picture needs to be addressed for RGLD because it is actually undervalued. That's right - in what must be the frothiest market in American history, we have ourselves a SEVERELY UNDERVALUED stock that just released a heroic quarterly report. Not only is this company operationally best-in-class, but it just cleared the remainder of its payable notes while also securing an enormous line of credit, if needed. This is an important detail because it hints at a potentially aggressive strategy with acquisitions and property expansions galore. For those less acquainted with the precious metals industry, there is a particular category of company that operates as a collector-of-sorts, whereby it simply takes a royalty from operations on the properties it owns. These properties are usually large plots of land that contain one or multiple mines that are available for digging by the mining companies that have a contractual right to do so. Once the refined product is sold to third-party retailers (presumably by the mining companies, but could be other parties at times), Royal Gold proves its namesake by collecting a royalty at the time of sale. Aside from Royal, the other major royalty player in this space is Franco Nevada, which I also personally like, but is not nearly as undervalued as our guy here. The bottom fundamental line is that it's great! If you want to know more or don't believe me, take a glance at their latest quarterly numbers and guidance for 2022. II. Technical Picture: Much like what RGLD does, I have discovered the locations of the largest mines in the chart and identified them as such. The geometric form on the left side of the chart is a rather complicated arrangement of triangles and circles that are drawn to form golden rectangles and other such sacred angles. This sort of 'geometric' style of technical analysis is both difficult to teach and actually use for accurate projections. It is not a set of techniques that is practical to use intraday because of how time consuming it is to get precise projections. In any case, I have manipulated and contorted a few of the angles and distances to project out where the bullish and bearish landmine hits are likely to occur in time and in price. It just so happens that there are a string of harmonically-spaced LANDMINES set to explode in perfect order in the days and weeks to come. I will say that I've never seen such a perfect array of bullish line extensions like this and am very excited to buy and hold and do nothing for once. For the record, its laughable that people actually brag about their success with this strategy when there is legitimately nothing to it - especially if it is an alt-coin. To wrap this up before the opportunity disappears, the reason why this is so special is because there is a very high chance that you can use short-term options like you would any run-of-the-mill pure equity play. That is, between the dates of ~ February 11th and July 18th, there is hardly any resistance that will cause this move much trouble. If anything, it might delay the inevitable continues rally to 150+, but that can be easily dealt with by having the right options strategy (see next section). III. Pig Spec's and Other Entry Details: Unlike most of my plays, this one has farther-spaced contract expiration dates. There are only 4 to choose from between now and July 18th. They are as follows: a) March 18th b) April 14th c) June 17th d) July 15th - (its as if the makers know about the July 18th cutoff) The way I am going to play this is to distribute all of my allotted capital to the April 14th expiration. That is, 100% of the capital is going toward three different strikes, all for April 14th. I am going to enter these three strikes tomorrow, see below for details: BUY LONG CALLS ON RGLD (80% of Total Capital) BUY LONG CALLS ON RGLD (20 % of Total Capital) That is all for now, see reasoning section below for strategic explanation. IV. Options Strategy Explained: The way I would like to play this is to mimic the process of buying and holding equity with the expectation of higher prices and steady gains. This is mainly because of the very low probability that the stock trades below 115 for the period between now and mid-July. I am making this assumption based on some of the characteristics of the particular geometric structure of the chart and the timing of the major underlying trends in precious metals. As far as strike selection goes, 110 is an extremely safe level from here on out. As it stands today, the premium structure is such that you can pay proportionately the same for the 115 and 120 strikes without incurring an additional cost for this safety. This deal exists for the 4/14 110 strike, but it will not last, so I advise entering swiftly at some point during the trading day tomorrow. The only barrier for this strike is the higher cost per contract, which is why the saying goes, "it takes money to make money." Still, with the protection it offers in this spot, Id much prefer to own half the number of contracts with less than a quarter of the implied risk. To this last point of having to tradeoff between safety and number of contracts owned - the solution lies in the remaining 25% of allotted capital going towards the much more aggressive 130 strike for the same expiry. While I say "aggressive" with a straight face, it is a little comical to call it as such given some of the other plays I've made in the past. The point is that this trade is golden and proof of this lies in how un-aggressive the aggressive portion of the position is. Unlike the SBUX play, this one is slower and more methodical and may last until mid-July. Therefore, I do not foresee making many changes to the above setup, in terms of the options held. I will provide an updated plan around mid-March depending on how much RGLD moves from now until then. Otherwise, I will not provide mid-play guidance for this one, unless something extremely strange happens where gold gets outlawed or something in the next couple of months. America has outlawed gold before, so it wouldn't totally shock me. Sort of kidding, but whats great is that it represents the biggest risk that I can see with this trade. = Bagz Galore -King-Pig NASDAQ:RGLD AMEX:GLD TVC:GOLD TVC:SILVER FXOPEN:XAUUSD COMEX:GC1!

Plan for potential "ape" spreadJust a small idea. I like this company; been trading it since 2018 and the pandemic. "In case" the Monkeypox virus spreads, this could be a decent hedge. We saw $SIGA with huge gaps last week (similar play), which likely will open higher on Monday. According to one source; It's spread through droplets and/or contact with infected lesions; skin contact coughs, etc. In other words, this is nothing you only inhale, like Covid" By that, hospital staff would need to wear full protective gear (In worst-case scenario). Alpha Pro Tech makes "high-value disposable Personal Protective Apparel and masks", and I, therefore, expect it to extend its weekly base building and breakout. Entered Thursday. Had a nice PocketPivot and wedge BO from Friday. Stop: 5% start. When 5% gained -> moved to B/E before trailing 5%/ma10. Not my classic setup, but there are not any good breakouts in this market anyway :) Good luck next week.

All or Nothing Versus DCA rule boundThis is for the new trader trying to find what works for them. ((Note.)) It does not have to be your idea to work. I struggled with this in my trading early on and it cost me money, stress, and lots of doubt. I am sure this has been shown in some way or another many times over. If you have never seen this concept before then I hope it helps you win. Concept : You only have $1,000 to start with. Do you shoot for the moon and go all or nothing or do a dollar cost average plan with a few rules. All or nothing .... Pick your entry and cross fingers. As a new trader even a seasoned trader will get Bad Entries when the market does not go according to your plan or your Tech Analysis. DCA .... Buying on a schedule or a set of rules. Dollar cost average gives you a chance to make bad entries as the plan or tech analysis falls apart. This DCA rule bound play is restricted to BTC going down %5 or greater before you can buy a Max of $100 worth at any entry you choose. * for this example i chose the tops of each move up from that down move. After buying in you have to wait until the next move down %5, I try to not have the purchase on the same level as back to back.

Total crypto market 1M timeframes - BTC - BTCUSD comparedHi! Apparently, technical analysis does not work, but on its basis we can base many future movements, entries or exits. A self-fulfilling prophecy which is technical analysis over the past few years has estimated a pretty good time to jump in and jump out the train. 1. Today I'll will show you what we can infer from the charts - price action, rsi, stoch & some herd noise. Shortly about indicators - As we all know, these are lagging indicators, but it's pretty good to use them to take wider picture on the market structure. Here is some thoughts about currently market structure played at historical data with few more tools; Currently on the monthly chart frame using Fibonacci retracement price get to the 0.786 point -> same as bitcoin chart. - This level is quite important as price action meet the 200 moving average – last several times it was great opportunity to take some expositions at this point assuming long term moves (from the begging of bitcoin history including 1m time frame candles – bitcoin didn’t fell & close below 200 moving average.). Otherwise in this place total crypto market cap reached “last bubble highs” around 771.5Billion $ of total value. Bitcoin with this total crypto market value (late 2017) was around 19.875 $ price per piece – same as now was (few hours earlier). Based on historical facts on last two cycles - last relative strength index topped ( 3x red circles RSI window/ confirming divergence) - around 01 march 2022 - from this point, we will have approximately 730 days until price rise up significantly which can be around march 2024 – 1 month until next bitcoin halving. 2. From example some thoughts I always keep in mind that in crypto it is all base on multiplying your exposition: -> Since buy at 60k, your path until 100k give you 66,667% gain, -> Since you buy at 20k, gain will be 500%, -> Since you but at 10k your profit will reach 1000% - it’s 10x compared to 1,667% when you buy at 60k. It is very likely that we will see price range 14/ 16k $ for one bitcoin, without excluding deeper dive in short/mid term. -> From 60k to 20k is 67,67% down/ -> From 60k to 10k is 83,33% down/ -> From 20k to 10k is still -50% down/ Don't catch the falling knives should be appropriate definition if you don't calculate your risk -> nice way to avoid risky entries is DCA - which mean dollar cost average - in other words entry price averaging. 3. Some thoughts about sentiment. > Positive features: - BTC as know was never hacked, - It gives P2P transactions, - diversifies portfolio - best known digital value, - long term dolar oversupply (btc priced in dollar) – as we know all of FIAT currency is going to zero over the time – knowing it, we can assume that Bitcoin going to infinity compared to USD - (look BTC starting price ~0.10$), - on-chain whale accumulation, - price correction ~75% down – (estimated 75-85% for my attractive range), - negative social media sentiment, “crypto is a scam” & others, - fundamental – bitcoin was created by people for people, and its value its created by unforced faith. >Negative features: - unfavorable regulations for cryptocurrency (especialy PoW consensus) – including green energy, - bitcoin sell pression from institutions – cutting the corners - to take over the market* and attempt to liquidate centralized collateraled holdings like Celsius – adding maximal fear, - uncertain situation on the financial markets, bitcoin will be probably one of the assets to cover other losses, - as allways, black swans. 4. I'm not saying that bitcoin won't hit new lows and break a long-standing trend, but I think it's unlikely. Im still think that bitcoin is very risky asset with high volatile, but its great opportunity to diversify your portfolio into digital and very liquid assets - inversely correlated to FIAT currencies. This market stays here for longer and it looks like it is repetitive itself.

Eth gbp I've personally put ALL my assets onto cold storage and waiting for price to recover all those big pumped green vector candles that our good friends, the market makers have kindly sold to all those traders that bought using leverage...so their essentially in a loss on those contracts they agreed to. This "pre covid" line , imo, applies to all the coins that were in existence prior to march 2020. I reckon there will be big institutions lookin at these levels too and by then, the filthy hands of the fed and sec will have all their regulations and BS in place so they can get on board and mot likely try and funk up our new financial world for their own benefit. Shame ... but there's no fighting them over this

Square (Block) Accumulation TimeThis is retesting lows of March 2020. The bear market wiped out the last Bull market rallys gains on almost all stocks. Check the earnings reports on the growth stocks beaten down, it I'd ridiculous because they are legit and in a normal market environment would never have lead to a major sell off or any sell off for that matter. It's as if the any little excuse was found and used to dump the Stocks during this time of inflation pressure. For those who are here for the long term it would behoove you to acquire shares at these super discounted levels.

Bitcoin, please read the White Paper before investingI don't normally use the CME chart to trade crypto; however, family members bought a lot of the neighbors' farms in the 1980's so I thought I'd share this chart for my fellow crypto sod busters. There is 'paper Bitcoin' trading happening. That equates to there being no rational, -easily- predictable top or bottom. The bottom is in when the 'Composite Group' can buy at the lowest price and when the seller is exhausted (Wyckoff, 1931). The composite group can print both the USD and the paper commodity using the CME to force all but the composite group out of the market; in fact, that is the goal. They'll take the farm. The Fed prints to buy, or lend to proxies who buy, and inflate to make the settlement price closer to zero. I do not know where the BTC bottom is for 2022. We can take into account the paper trading and use on-chain metrics to see where people value Bitcoin. I personally see Bitcoin as a valuable buy as marked on the chart, but I've also seen value in pitching 75 pound alfalfa bales for a penny. The Wyckofian composite group will do -anything- to get the 'Lost or HODLed' coins to move. We may be seeing the first real macro-financial attack on Bitcoin which can only be good news in light of the Bitcoin White paper and its' intellectual precursors.

Something Bullish Could Be Happening in ChinaU.S. stocks fell into a “bear market” this week. Meanwhile, a new bull market could be starting across the Pacific. This chart shows the iShares China Large Cap ETF with relative strength compared to the S&P 500. FXI lagged the U.S. benchmark consistently between February 2021 and May 2022. But it’s outperformed in the last month as officials in Beijing lend support to the business community . As many traders know, a bear market starts when an index drops 20 percent from its high. A lesser-known definition from S&P states that a bull market begins with a rebound of 20 percent from the low. By this definition, China exited its bear market earlier in June. Perhaps even more interesting is the strength of China’s burgeoning technology sector – especially with the Nasdaq-100 reeling lower. This second weekly chart features the Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index, which holds major companies like Alibaba and JD.com. Notice how it appears to have broken a falling trendline. Second, HXC’s relative strength histogram is pegged to the Nasdaq-100, home to major names like Apple and Microsoft. Its recent outperformance was the highest in 17 years of history. The divergence is noteworthy because Chinese tech stocks have typically behaved like high-beta versions of their U.S. peers. This time they’re trying to break out at the same time a hawkish Fed hammers Silicon Valley valuations. Traders may want to consider whether a bigger rotation is underway.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome the Bear Market!INVESTMENT CONTEXT The worst trading week since January was followed by yet another market meltdown on June 13, with Nasdaq shedding 4.68% after dropping more than 7% in the previous 5 trading days, and S&P 500 finally entering bear territory just 2 years past the last one The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield, regarded as a global benchmark for borrowing costs, hit 3.29% - its maximum since 2011, while the 2-year Treasury yield surged to 3.23% Russia claimed to have taken control of 80% of Severdonetsk, the last major Ukrainian foothold in the country's East Beijing, Shanghai and other cities were put under new COVID-induced restrictions The UK economy contracted 0.3% in April, missing analyst expectations of 0.1% growth BTC collapsed to USD 20k early on June 14, on news that Binance temporarily suspended withdrawals following Celsius pause on all redemptions due to "extreme market conditions" PROFZERO'S TAKE The great bear market of our time has finally begun, with S&P 500 plunging 20% from the 4,714 peak touched on January 11 this year. Predictably, as soon as the technical indicators were breached, droves of short positions triggered, plunging asset prices even further. No corner of the equity market was spared, and the brunt of the sell-off was borne by Growth assets in the tech-intensive Nasdaq index. ProfZero has been repeatedly preaching caution, calling the attention of investors on the combined industrial shocks that are bringing one of the longest bull markets in history to an end. The energy and commodity crisis has unearthed the risks tied to stretched supply chains and concentrated sourcing (ProfOne has also spoken extensively about it - and the looming risk of falling yet into the same trap down the energy transition), functioning basically like a fuse to the inflation time-bomb. All that came after - the equity rout, the reversal of ultra-loose monetary policies, the widening of fixed income market spreads - that is just the natural reaction of financial markets to a collapse in industrial fundamentals. What that tells us? ProfZero sees that the real economy is now in the driving seat - for good. With that, fundamentals come once again into play: inflation tempering prices, supply chains shaping revenue/cost functions, cash flows dictating performance. What a great time to open school books once again. On May 13, ProfZero anticipated that higher interest rates would put stress on weaker and more indebted actors - countries (Italy, Greece), companies and individuals. A heating in the credit market is now at the very core of ProfZero's radar - especially in the Eurozone, where the ECB will put to test the appetite of investors for Italian debt at one of the worst times PROFONE'S TAKE Thinking about the energy of future, today ProfOne’s eyes are set on uranium, whose price is hitting historical highs since the Fukushima catastrophe in 2011 and encouraging old uranium sites in North America, Australia and Africa to reopen. Nuclear energy, recognized by EU as “green” activity, is viewed as a key part of the EU's energy transition plan. Amidst growing uranium demand fuelled by de-carbonisation politics; rush for energy security; and desire to replace deliveries from Russia (which accounts for 6% of the world’s uranium), the supply side is slow to fit into. Yet over and above shortage of qualified labor and supply chain disruptions, ProfOne reminds that 40% of the world uranium is produced by Kazakhstan and mostly shipped via Russia. The energy security equation will thus have to deal with yet another potentially risky supply chain -while in the meantime of course trying to find sustainable ways to dispose of nuclear waste
