(ETH) ethereum "sunday best"By looking at iexec RLC a pattern of completion for trading psychology appears to show the depression point in the chart. Many other tokens are the same way. What is going on with Ethereum is much more radicalized and revolutionary. Is it possible to create new ideas to develop Ethereum even further than the capacity of what is already realized within the potential framework of the blockchain without the continuous need for extension tokens to always solve the missing parts of Ethereum?

WAGE
Firepower abounds for Japanese equitiesJapanese equities ended 2023 on a high note. Japan’s post pandemic re-opening, accommodative monetary stance, high equity risk premiums and improving corporate governance reforms were important tailwinds for Japanese equities in 2023.
Over the last 12 months Japan has benefited from global investor inflows who are diversifying their investments in Asia, with geopolitical tensions and sluggish growth causing a rotation from China to Japan. There are several catalysts in place to fuel Japan’s equity market rally:
Increasing capex & higher wage growth
Revamping the Nippon Individual Savings Account (NISA)
Corporate Japan’s ongoing reform initiatives
Capex outlook bolstered by manufacturers
The end of deflation is a catalyst unique to Japan. The Bank of Japan’s (BOJ) December Tankan survey indicates manufacturers will continue to boost capex in fiscal 2024 to prepare for the next growth cycle. Manufacturers plan to increase capex in fiscal 2024 by 14.6%2. Higher cash holdings for Japanese corporates and labour shortages are important incentives to invest in automation over the long run. Japan is at a demographic crossroads. The employment conditions diffusion index (DI) highlights Japan’s labour shortage to be the worst in 30 years3. To compensate, companies will need to invest in improving productivity.
Demographics driving wage inflation
At the same time, waning labour supply owing to an aging population is likely to bring back wage growth. The spring wage growth negotiations in 2023 drove wages up by 3.6%4 (the highest level in 30 years) and 2024 could see a further rise. Demand continues to increase in healthcare and social welfare owing to increasing domestic demand. Strong wage growth remains the key to the sustainability of inflation and inflation is likely to influence investors choice of asset allocations. As long as Japanese equities continue to benefit from inflation, we believe it would be natural for funds to increasingly flow into Japanese equities.
Japan’s savings to investment drive
Japan is transforming into an asset management led nation under the leadership of Prime Minister Kishida. In an effort to unlock nearly US$14Trn of household financial assets tied up in cash deposits, Japanese leaders are embarking upon reforms, like the introduction of 401(k)s in the US back in the 1970s. This is being done with the introduction of a revised Nippon Individual Savings Account “NISA” program offering tax benefits and portability. Starting in 2024 maximum investment amounts allowed under NISA have been increased and investors can enjoy the system’s tax benefits permanently.
Japan’s wave of reform
Corporate Japan’s ongoing reform initiatives, which include the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s (TSE) March 2023 announcement dubbed the “Price to Book (PBR) Guideline”, discussed here had a strong impact on companies. This was evident from the immediate rise in payout ratios following the announcements. By the end of January, the TSE plans to provide a list of companies that have either disclosed capital efficiency measures or have such measures under consideration. There is a strong likelihood that companies ‘under consideration’ could surprise on the upside with capital return announcements in the upcoming results season.

Japan continues to deliver strong earnings results
Japan’s economy has continued to recover, and we expect the economy to withstand the modest slowdown in global growth. Japanese equities are testing 34-year highs in 2024, bolstered by 2Q FY3/24 earnings results. Net income for Japanese equities came in 6.2% ahead of consensus, with beats concentrated in domestic-oriented sectors including utilities & food/household products5. Corporate reforms had a significant impact on chemicals and auto parts sectors. Japan’s earnings revision breadth remains in positive territory in contrast to earnings trends in China and Europe. Positive earnings revisions alongside a structural trend to rising return on equity (ROE) is supporting Japan’s equity outperformance versus the rest of the world.
Monetary policy likely to stay on hold until Q2
An important concern in 2024 remains the path of monetary policy by the BOJ, its impact on the yen and the repercussions for Japanese equities. Governor Ueda told Prime Minister Kishida that the Bank will monitor the strength of domestic demand, taking into consideration whether higher wages push services prices higher and the 2024 wage outlook. Recent inflation data continues to slow, as the prior high import costs work through the system amidst soft domestic demand. We expect the BOJ to exit negative interest rates in Q2, taking into consideration the spring wage negotiations. The yen may appreciate in H2 2024, on narrowing US-Japan interest rate spreads. A stronger yen could renew concerns over a possible negative effect on Japanese corporate earnings. However, a strong yen may not be too much of a hindrance to Japanese equities, with the market set on the theme of further vitality in the economy with rising wages and improving capex.

AMD nearest future. Expected end of the rally. I know that it may look a little saturated, but if you are serious about investing in AMD (which is a good idea IMO, but not at this moment), look closer and you'll find a lot of useful info.
TL;DR:
1) Rally triggered by the launch of Zen2 processors got exhausted.
2) RSI divergence on both, weekly and daily charts.
3) Upcoming earnings (April 17, 2019) not promising anything good, Zen 2 sales declined.
4) AMD cut the prices for the latest Zen2 CPU's which indicates that sales are dropped and they are trying to squeeze every a little bit before upcoming earnings to don't show absolutely awful numbers.
5) Announced MOBILE Ryzen 4000 CPUs is in fact have older Zen2 architecture, not Zen3 as some may think based on the name.
I shorted at 56 and to be honest I'm really eager to re-enter, but we have to be patient, especially in current market conditions.
AMD developed a small wage which may retest the previous high. It may look like an opportunity for some day traders, but expose an extreme risk for long term investors. The target of the wage is right near the previous high, and if the price will bounce from it, we will have a Double-Top after which the price decline may be dramatic.
The targets are ~$35.50 and if after testing the trend line at $48.50 it will fail, the next support must be at ~$25.
From $25 to anything lower I'll buy like there is no tomorrow.
What do these 32 companies and unborn babies have in common?They didn’t pay income taxes in 2018. In fact, these 32 companies were paid by the United States government $10,531,480,000 to operate their businesses. The unborn babies were paid $0. That is a $10.53 billion dollar tax refund with your money. Your tax dollars were collected by the IRS and then given to these 32 companies. Each one of these companies was profitable in 2018, yet American tax dollars were given to them to add to their profit margins. The average CEO total compensation of these 32 companies in 2018 was $14,212,618. The average employee pay at these companies was $89,594. CEO hourly rate works out to be $6,833. Employee hourly was $43. These CEO’s believe their value is 170.65 times greater than the average employee. Each of these CEO’s would need to work 16.15 total hours to make your annual salary. They need to work 2 days when you need to work for an entire year. If you make $20 per hour at one of these companies the CEO would need to work 6.09 hours or an average Friday, to make your annual salary. Welcome to our American dream.
Who is the winner of the Greediest Pig Award you ask? Leslie Moonves of CBS. He is no longer the CEO but was paid $46,416,750 in total compensation in 2018. Leslie’s employees were paid the least on the list as well at $60,000 per year. Every 2.69 hours Leslie worked he earned the average annual salary of his employees. He made your annual salary during a round of golf on Friday when he left early. Leslie believes he is 773.6 times more valuable to CBS than his employees. As opposed to paying taxes like every American is required to do, Leslie was able to obtain $358,000,000 from Uncle Sam and add it to his profit margins.
We, the 99% put these CEO’s in positions of power by buying their products, we can also remove them. I am staging a boycott of every company listed in this document. I will never spend a single penny on their products again. I would never work for any of them either. Our votes matter less in general elections than super delegates. The true power we hold is where we decide to spend our money. These 32 companies and CEO’s are shitting on you; let’s return the favor and stop giving them money.
But Johnny, they are paying what the law requires them to pay! That is correct; none of these companies are doing anything illegal via taxation. However, what is missing from that argument is how much they spend on political donations and lobbyist. Our 1% friends pay money to make the laws benefit the 1%. Our government is corrupted by money, it has been that way for my entire life.
When I invested in real estate, I learned about our tax code. Businesses can write off most expenses prior to paying taxes. Individuals are required to pay taxes before they get their paycheck. I understand the need to help businesses grow via less tax liabilities. However, these 32 companies are all profitable and pay their executives disgusting amounts of money. Thanks to our current tax code some of their profits came from your bank account whether you like it or not.
I’ve done some research on other countries and found the Scandinavian countries are continuously rated as the happiest places on earth. I had to figure why they are so happy. A few things Norway does better. Their minimum wage is nearly $42,000 per year. Their government balances its budget every year with an oil fund worth nearly $1 trillion which the 5.5 million citizens own. Every employee is paid above a living wage. They work 30-37 hours per week. Free higher education and health care. The government is run like a private company with the public interest being a priority. It is one of the safest places on earth. Think about it, people are paid well so they don’t have to resort to crime to feed their family. They are not socialist they are democratic. The greedy wage gap is much more balanced. The corruption relationship between government and businesses is nonexistent in Norway. Their government truly cares about the population not just 1% of it. I will be traveling to Norway next year to see for myself why they are so happy, this might be a one-way ticket.
But, but, but they pay higher taxes! Thanks again little Billy, you are correct. Norway has higher taxes. But ask yourself, does it sound worth it compared to the US?
The people listed in this document are directly responsible for financial inequality in our country. They pay themselves excessive salaries and siphon public tax dollars to add to their profit margins. Our politicians are helping this disgusting greed take place. In fact, our politicians are becoming wealthy with this process. Members of the US congress make $174,000 per year not to mention the millions in political donations. I think our politicians should get paid the federal minimum wage then it might increase. Like and share if you agree our politicians are paid too much for the job they are doing for all Americans.
If you are a member of the 1% and happen to read this article, be a good human and distribute the wealth. I am a firm believer in what goes around comes around. The more you invest in your employees the more gains you will see. Or you can just follow the trend of your rich cronies and continue to widen the wage gap. Are you a leader or a follower?
I suggest using the CICO report here on Tradingview. The CICO measures the sum of new money into and out of the markets. Don’t let manipulated emotions from fake headlines run your portfolio, use math. I hope the CICO helps you take your money back from these clowns. We are seeing a breakout of an upward trend on the SPY. It looks like a good time to buy until it isn't. The markets can and will change drastically without notice from our friends. They will panic and take their money out without notice, always be cautious with your money.
The full detailed list of the companies can be found on the link. This post is meant to be informational and I never condone violence. However, let's stop giving them our money. onedrive.live.com
