Champions League & Political AdsCBS has 2 things going for its streaming services
Loads of new accounts for Champions League football/soccer
PlutoTV is selling the hell out of political ads and they had over 25million users for Pluto last count.
Whether or not this is good for the stock overall we shall see
I don't do fundamental analysis really and don't pretend to but just want to put this out there as something to consider going into VIAC CBS earnings next week or so
VIAC
Trading Psychology 101If you're new to the stock market like me, you will quickly learn this lesson if you haven't already.
My lesson was a little more violent when VIAC took a nose dive.
I went straight from Euphoria directly to Capitulation. That was fun.
One could argue that Woods has been targeted by Wallstreet Elite, very similar to the legendary degen Bill Hwang.
But I quickly learned that was just my Despondence and Depression.
If your in the same boat (titanic) as I was.
Don't get down on yourself too much or you will miss the best opportunity yet to come.
Biggest problem facing new investors (including myself) is finding the bottom or learning to trade down.
Good luck out there. Trade safe.
$VIAC Handle PredictionIf a handle forms out of this cup, this is my guess to how it will form. This is not a definite just an assumption since the overbought signal is in play on the RSI I'm looking for the pullback as it sets up again. Earnings is also coming up in a few weeks and I'm thinking it will do well with the recent Comcast deal and the fact that the virus is giving people another reason to sit home and enjoy the tube! See the related post for more details.
NASDAQ:VIAC
VIACOM CBSViacomCBS Inc. is a media and entertainment company which creates premium content and experiences for audiences. The company's consumer brands portfolio includes CBS, Showtime Networks, Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central, BET, CBS All Access, Pluto TV and Simon & Schuster. It operates primarily in the U.S., Europe, Latin America and Asia. ViacomCBS Inc., formerly known as CBS Corporation, is based in New York, United States.
Analysis:
Viacom is a powerhouse when it comes to media infastructure. Networks amongst the likes of Paramount, BET, MTV, Nickelodeon, etc are popular and have been around for decades. I like this company's financials and feel that they have enough cash on hand to be able to use their money where they feel is needed regardless of market conditions. On the 30 min timeframe, price is currently at a strong. I want to see strong bullish candles trading above the 200 ema for a possible entry point. I mainly do debit spread. I think if the rules apply in the near future, this could be a nice opportunity for a gain!

According to Bussiness standard:
Soros Fund Management bought $194 million of ViacomCBS Inc., Baidu Inc. stock valued at $77 million, as well $46 million of Vipshop Holdings Ltd. and $34 million of Tencent Music Entertainment Group during the first quarter, according to a regulatory filing released Friday. A person familiar with the fund’s trading said the company didn’t hold the shares prior to Archegos’s implosion.

Reward > Risk for VIAC - 2:1 - Yields 2.5% - P/E = 9+ (Cheap)Great long-term prospects in the coming year. Assets alone worth more than market cap. Blended model of streaming and legacy tv/cable along with ad supported model which NFLX doesn't have.
Excellent long-term value at this level bc it serves as a bond paying 2.5% div yield along with above average growth prospects (more-so than NFLX and NFLX doesn't pay a dividend and isn't profitable).
Dividend yielding stocks are gaining traction as the market theme for 2021 as inflation increases and growth stocks falter. This is the best of both worlds IMO.

Bullish for Breakout on VIAC (Swing Trade)This is a stock that is down because of the Bill Hwang liquidation at the end of March. I am long ($41.62 avg) with a first price target of $52.30 and a second at $60.73.
Reasons why:
1) RSI is just above oversold levels (35).
2) It's holding the long term trendline from the bottom in March 2020 at $10.10.
3) It's holding the 200SMA and the 9EMA just caught up. It looks like its starting to curl up.
Negation:
If the 9EMA crosses under the 200SMA
If we lose the 200SMA.
To me, where we're at right now mean the risk to reward is very favorable.
Note that this stock has earnings on May 6th that may be our catalyst back up towards filling the gap at $90.30. But if we've ran up a bit leading up to earnings, take some profits to negate risk.
VIAC - Temper ExpectationsTemper your expectations. Trade what is given.
Today's squeeze is probably off of the back of NFLX if I had to guess. Near time upside ceiling IMO is $43.00 unless a stellar earnings report next month.
Downside pervails if crosses back below the 200day MA which now sits at the $40.00 level. Short below and long above is my plan. I think VIAC falls back under it though since this current level is around the top of the descending wedge. I don't expect it to breakout of it yet.

VIAC the floor is inThe last of the block trades have been fired off. You can make a lot of money with contrarian trades; buying something everyone hates or buying when there's blood in the streets. There's plenty of VIAC's blood in the streets and I'm 99.99% positive there's none left to spill. Buying long-dated calls and stock tomorrow.
Appears to be bouncing off 200-day MA. VIAC has incredible value in its underlying assets. It trades at an EV/EBITDA of 2.5383. (any company with an EV/EBITDA under 10 is considered to signal that it is a financially healthy, well-run company).
Price to Earnings: 10x for VIAC vs 20x P/E ratio for DISCA
Price to Sales: 0.9618 for VIAC vs 2.3759 for DISCA
Significant value versus its peers.
