Snow lake resources = life changing moneySnow lake has been developing an admirable portfolio of drill sites to their repertoire. With multiple drill sites containing a slew of significant resources, and the snow lake site appraised with an estimated NPV of 1.7 billion. This company seems like a no brainer. Their drill site results should be published soon this month or in Feburary, and they have done three cash offerings to raise cash on hand and capital. The company is well positioned to drill on their sites. I have estimated that they will be making 150 million a year in revenue just off of the lithium in their snow lake site. They have found Uranium and Gallium at their drill sites as well. Gallium is crucial for semiconductor fabrcation and is considered one of the most valuable resources on this day. Most of Gallium and semicoductor production is found in Taiwan and this discovery raises an eye when it comes to valuation on this company. With Ai needing more power for the data centers Uranium/nuclear power has become a major point when it comes to pwoering these data centers. With a market cap of 100million currently this company is considered seriously undervalued with just the estimated profit from lithium drilling at snow lake. I think you will see this company reach a valuation of around 1billion-5billion and you might see these shares rise up from around 1.00 to 20-40 dollars a share in a few years time. Thanks, Ben

Short in Full Effect... 15 month Bull Run approaches resistanceWhat I see from this monthly layout of Citigroup NYSE:C is a sustained 16 year uptrend that is approaching a quadruple top in its' current 15 month Bull Run. The resistance sits at 83.11 and could be heading back to the previous month high of 73.38. My interest in options, at the moment, are as follows... 1/31-81 Put at .64 2/28-77 Put at .65 3/21-77.5 Put at 1.26, 75 Put at .74, 72.5 Put at .44, and 70 Put at .28 As a Libra, I tend to see both sides in a few different aspects of life and investing is no different. Some investors make decisions that are biased, others are emotionally attached to their choices or a particular stock, or they may be uneducated about trends and technical analysis. However, most seasoned investors know you can make money by both shorting or longing a stock. So with that being said, keep an eye out for a break and close above 83.11. If that happens, there are clear skies above dating back to 2008. Call Options I would consider at that point would be as follows... 1/31-83 Call at .35 2/28-87 Call at .42 3/21-87.5 Call at .84, 90 Call at .50, and 95 Call at .21 I look forward to checking back in with you all this week. Again, this is not financial advice nor am I a stock guru selling you hopes and dreams. I highly recommend you dive into your own due diligence before you make a decision based off mine or someone else's opinion. As always, take profits, take profits, take profits!!! I cannot stress that enough, as I myself have held onto positions longer than I should have and lost out on profits gained. Enjoy your week trading ladies and gents!

Tesla UpdateStill no clear indication of where Tesla is headed next. Looking at the afterhours (24hr market) price on Robinhood it is down $10/share. Is this a snapshot of what tomorrow will look like or are insiders giving a hint that price will head lower again in the near future. I have been saying for a few trading sessions now that price hit the smaller 1.0 of sub-minuette a-b of minor B. This is all that is "required" for the move to be considered standard. What does this mean? It means that the minimum requirements for a standard move have already been completed, and we could head lower at any time. If it has in fact topped in minor B already, then the next area we will be targeting is the low $300's - high $200's. The big clue to know if we're headed down that low, is a breach of the prior low made by minor A @ $373.04. If we do not breach that low, there remains the chance that price rises again to the minor B target box. This uncertainty is the reason I sold my position and why I haven't re-entered. When we get to a better risk/reward area I will re-enter. I have a feeling that will be a few weeks though. Until then, I remain an observer.

RIOT: not sure what to make of the recent price actionFor now, I have Jan 22 low as subminuette degree wave 2. But the price action since then, even though made higher highs and higher lows, doesn't seem to be an impulsive move. It can either be a b wave, which means wave 2 is not over yet; or it could be an expanding leading diagonal. If a Y wave is in progress, I hope not to go too deep as price already dipped into minuette wave 1 once. This week will be crucial for BTC as well as miners to keep the support intact and bounce to new higher highs to keep the bull run intact. Falling below recent lows will make things significantly harder to keep things moving.

Trade wars begin.The trade war with Colombia will have a ripple effect across several industries, particularly those heavily reliant on imports and exports. Here’s a breakdown of how this could impact sectors and stocks: 1. Coffee Companies (Starbucks, Green Mountain Coffee) Impact: Coffee prices are likely to rise due to reduced imports from Colombia, one of the largest coffee producers in the world. This could affect the cost structure of companies like Starbucks ( NASDAQ:SBUX ) and Keurig Dr Pepper, which owns Green Mountain Coffee. Stock Impact: Short-term: Likely negative, as higher input costs could squeeze margins. Expect some volatility in these stocks as investors react to news. Long-term: If these companies raise prices to offset costs, it could hurt demand, especially for premium-priced products. Opportunities: Monitor Starbucks ( NASDAQ:SBUX ) and consider a put option or short-term bearish strategy if you expect higher costs to impact earnings in the near term. If you’re bullish on their ability to navigate the crisis (e.g., through diversified sourcing), look for a dip-buying opportunity. 2. Floriculture Companies (1-800-Flowers, FLWS) Impact: The U.S. sources a significant percentage of its flowers from Colombia. Disruptions could lead to price spikes, reduced inventory, and higher shipping costs from alternative markets (e.g., Ecuador, Mexico). Stock Impact: Short-term: Likely negative as supply chain costs rise and flower availability decreases. Long-term: FLWS may pivot to alternative sources or raise prices, but this would take time. Opportunities: Watch FLWS closely for earnings revisions or news of sourcing diversification. Short-term bearish plays like puts could capitalize on anticipated cost pressures. 3. U.S. Oil Companies Impact: Stopping U.S. oil exports to Colombia could create slight downward pressure on domestic oil prices due to reduced overseas demand. However, this would be marginal since Colombia isn’t a major importer of U.S. oil. Stock Impact: Short-term: Likely neutral to slightly negative for U.S. oil companies like ExxonMobil ( NYSE:XOM ) and Chevron ( NYSE:CVX ). Long-term: Unlikely to have a major impact unless it coincides with other geopolitical disruptions. Opportunities: Consider refiners (e.g., Valero NYSE:VLO ), as lower crude oil costs could improve refining margins. If you believe U.S. domestic oil prices will dip, look at ETFs like USO for bearish plays. 4. General Market Sentiment Trade wars often create uncertainty, which can lead to increased market volatility. Certain sectors, like consumer staples (e.g., packaged food companies), could act as safe havens, while sectors with direct exposure to Colombia may experience sell-offs. 5. Strategies Without Futures Access Focus on stocks and ETFs that are indirectly impacted: Agriculture ETFs: Consider broader agriculture plays, like DBA (Invesco Agriculture Fund), which includes coffee. Bunge Limited (BG): Another agricultural commodity processor that might reflect broader trends in soft commodity markets. Bearish on Specific Stocks: Use put options or short strategies on stocks like NASDAQ:SBUX or NASDAQ:FLWS if you believe higher costs will erode profits. Bullish on Domestic Producers: Companies that grow coffee domestically or are diversified into synthetic alternatives might benefit from supply chain shifts. Final Thoughts Colombia’s trade war fallout will have mixed effects depending on the sector. For companies heavily dependent on Colombian imports (e.g., coffee and flowers), there’s short-term risk, while for oil-related sectors, the impact is likely neutral to slightly bearish. Evaluate the timing carefully and focus on industries with clear, immediate exposure.

Strong momentum backed by price and volume; aka ANTSNASDAQ:ALLT ’s phenomenal momentum is backed by David Ryan’s Ants Indicator. Both daily (right) and weekly (left) timeframe attest to this. For more information on this indicator, you can check out John Muchow’s script on this platform. Ants indicator is how David Ryan interprets institutional accumulation over the last 12-15 periods. This is not to say that the price will continue its momentum because this is still a lagging indicator. So it should be complemented with price action strategy. I supplement this indicator with Mark Minervini’s Trend Trending Criteria (which is all green on weekly timeframe) as well as Relative Strength Rating (which happens to be 99 on daily timeframe).

$AAPL yieaahhhoh dear NASDAQ:AAPL why do you do this to us on earnings week. Beautiful setup. 1. Setting support on the parallel channel since breakout from back in June. 2. Confluent with the 61% fib retracement measured from same breakout from June. 3. Daily RSI at oversold point. 4. Daily MACD giving us turning hopes. We want this to get back to the mid point on the trendline, depending on timing we can look at 240 to 250. All this can get nullified with a bad earnings report and get down to $195 area. Make or break on earnings. Yieaahhh

$CWAN Putting in a Higher Low? (Starting a New Up Trend)NYSE:CWAN is a name most of us have never heard of. They serve hedge funds, asset managers, and insurance clients with Analytic software. It looks like it is in the process of putting in a higher low. It has regained the 8 and 20 EMAs and the MACD has turned positive. It can still go either way. There is overhead resistance at both the upper horizonal line on the chart and the now downward sloping 50 DMA (red). I have an alert set just under last Thursday’s high of 28.56. Should that trigger, I will go to a lower timeframe like a 5-minute chart to see if I can get a good entry. My stop, if I take the trade would be on a close below the 20 EMA (green). Making for a tight and good risk reward trade. I do not set targets, but I do think it has a chance to get back up to around 32.00 – 32.50. Which is around a 13% gain if that were to happen. If you like this idea, make it your own trade that fits your trading style.

VEON: Strong Buy For Ukrainian Rebuilding and Pakistani GrowthMy Thesis VEON Ltd. (VEON) is a Seeking Alpha Quant “Strong Buy” currently trading at what I believe is a discounted valuation of just $3.3 billion in market cap and $6.2 billion in EV. VEON is a multinational telecommunications and digital services operator serving customers in five frontier markets that collectively represent about 7% of the world’s population, according to the Company. The focus of this analysis is on VEON’s two largest markets: Ukraine and Pakistan. I believe the valuation discount to the frontier markets telecom sector multiple reflects dated and distorted misperceptions about Russia and the Ukraine-Russia war. In particular, investors have feared the destruction of telecommunications infrastructure in the region and the Company’s former ties to a sanctioned Russian economy. If and when United States President Donald Trump is successful in bringing a resolution to the conflict, I expect VEON’s share price to react positively and Wall Street to resume their bullish stance prior to the complications of the Russia-Ukraine war. I am separately bullish on Pakistan, as it is one of the youngest and most populated countries in the world with a population of 241 million and GDP per capita of under $1,500. Economic forecasts are cautiously optimistic, and I believe that telecommunications is a logical macroeconomic investment need facing the nation, which it has addressed by forming a government office, The Pakistan Telecommunications Authority. I subscribe to economic convergence theory, whereby the best secular macroeconomic growth plays come from frontier and emerging markets. In my opinion, Pakistan is the epitome of a frontier market with enough progress thus far to warrant future investment. Turning the Page on Russia Investors penalized VEON shares in February 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine. At the time, 65% of VEON’s revenue was generated in these two countries. A soon-to-be sanctioned Russian oligarch sat on the supervisory board of directors, and the largest shareholder, London-based LetterOne, was effectively controlled by the same Russian oligarch and his business partner. Also, in 2023, the Ukrainian court imposed restrictions on VEON’s corporate rights in Kyivstar and its other Ukrainian subsidiaries. Importantly, during no time were either VEON or LetterOne themselves ever sanctioned. Lost Wall Street coverage was also collateral damage from the conflict. There were 11 analysts actively covering VEON shares at the time of the war’s outbreak, with 8 “Buys” and an average target price of $63.10. That all went away when Russia invaded Ukraine. VEON has started to rebuild equity research coverage to three analysts: New Street Research, Inam, and as of November 2024, Benchmark, but research coverage still remains sparse. The debt is covered by Barclays, JP Morgan and Imperial Capital. Importantly, however, over the past three years, VEON has strategically sold off all of its Russian assets, removed Russian oligarchs from its board, and invested significantly in Ukrainian infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted connectivity for its people. The restrictions on VEON’s corporate rights in Kyivstar and its other Ukrainian subsidiaries have been lifted. Today, all that is left of VEON’s former ties to Russia is outdated market perception, a lack of awareness across the investment community, and a discounted valuation. Today: Growing in Key Frontier Markets Simultaneously, VEON aggressively invested to increase its presence in frontier markets, diversifying beyond Ukraine, and growing its non-telco digital services (e.g., financial services, media, health, education). The Pakistan Opportunity Pakistan is VEON’s largest market with 35% of revenue in Q3 2024. Jazz is the relevant subsidiary, which offers cellular services to 72 million subscribers throughout Pakistan. Jazz won the World Best Operator in a Growth Market Award in December of 2024 for its work bringing access to healthcare, entertainment, and banking to underserved Pakistanis. The World Bank points to Pakistan’s economic progress despite its challenges. Real GDP growth rebounded to 2.5% in FY24 from a contraction in FY23 thanks in part to newly introduced liquidity in global currency markets. GDP growth is projected to reach 2.8% in FY25. Main challenges include education, nutrition, inflation, natural disaster, and protectionist policies. Telecommunications revenues are largely increasing beyond GDP growth rates. Data from the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority shows that total industry revenues were projected to grow 17% to 955 billion Rupees or about $11 billion from 817 billion Rupees in 2023. The same authority points to Jazz as the leader in the national market, with 37% market share, trailed in order by competitors of Zong, Telenor, and Ufone. Jazz has a double-digit percentage lead on Zong, and I suspect this lead is even larger when looking at 4G, because these other operators provide the lower quality 2G and 3G assets that comprise most of Pakistan’s current telecom infrastructure. Billions of dollars have been invested in Pakistani telecommunications over the past five years, and I believe investment will continue given the projected accelerations in economic growth. Over 60% of the population is under 30-years-old, meaning the market is ripe with young people who value local and global connectivity more so than older citizens who have lived without it. In Pakistan, the Company operates a fintech company called JazzCash that is helping Pakistan transition to a cashless economy by providing mobile wallet, payments, microlending, and card acceptance. The business serves over 19 million MAUs and facilitated nearly 2.6 billion LTM total transactions as of September 2024. To me, this looks and feels like a unicorn buried within VEON, yet given the current stock price of VEON, it’s clear that the market isn’t assigning much if any value to JazzCash. However, the Company is evaluating IPO-ing JazzCash, which I think would be a catalyst for the market to re-rate VEON higher. Ukrainian Resilience and Reopening Ukraine accounts for about 24% of VEON’s revenue and 33% of EBITDA in Q3 2024 through Kyivstar, which has 50% share in the national market according to VEON presentations. Kyivstar’s performance in keeping Ukraine connected throughout the war has been nothing short of remarkable, and we are most bullish on Kyivstar’s market share to grow as Ukraine reopens, with the Company pledging more than half a billion USD to rebuild Ukraine. We are also bullish on 4G user penetration rates, which represent an opportunity to upsell to a superior product. 4G penetration rates have grown from 46% in 2021 to 60% in 2023 with further room to go. Revenue grew through 2023 and EBITDA and margins have remained stable in the mid double digits. I am also particularly excited about the Starlink partnership. As all the markets that VEON services are at high risk for physical conflict, satellite deals ensure uninterrupted, economical connectivity if 4G infrastructure is destroyed. One may also wonder about population losses and customer churn due to the immigration of Ukrainian civilians. Roam Like Home was introduced in 2022 in partnership with mobile operators in 30 European countries and enables displaced Ukrainians to access Kyivstar communications and digital services as if they were still in Ukraine. Many of those who stayed in Ukraine and fought benefitted from Helsi Healthcare, the largest digital healthcare platform in the country. Helsi has over 28 million users registered in its system as of September 2024 in a country that has 38 million people, helping them find connectivity to over 1,600 healthcare institutions. Looking to the future, VEON announced that it intends to spin off Kyivstar by listing it separately on the Nasdaq. This should further help separate Kyivstar as a pure play on the Ukrainian economy and will provide a vehicle for investors who support Ukraine’s rebuilding and reopening through VEON’s continued investment in Ukraine. The Discounted Valuation Seeking Alpha Quant rates VEON’s valuation grade A+. GAAP P/E is just 5.5 relative to the communications sector median of approximately 14, and non-GAAP PEG is 0.34 relative to a sector median of 1.44. EV/EBITDA is at a 64% discount to the sector median. Price/OCF is at an even more significant discount of approximately 69%. Of course, these comparisons are imperfect because the communications sector is a broad classification, and VEON is diversified into the broader technology space operating a major fintech and a healthcare platform. I believe the key differentiator and one explanation for the compressed multiples is VEON’s frontier market status. More developed economies earn the status of emerging markets, still behind developed or mature nations like the United States. Due to lower household incomes and political and economic instability, frontier and emerging markets are riskier investments that warrant caution and generally lead to lower multiples. Again, because Seeking Alpha Quant lumps together companies like Disney, Google, and Facebook in the communications sector, the sector median comparisons are somewhat skewed. The following table was recently generated by a colleague with access to Bloomberg data and shows some comparisons to frontier market peers. EV/EBITDA Ticker Name CY23 CY24E CY25E VEON US VEON Ltd 4.3 3.7 3.4 CNVRG PM Converge ICT Solutions 6.5 6.1 5.5 MTELEKOM HB Magyar Telekom Telecommunications 5.6 5.1 5.0 TIGO SS Millicom International Cellular 5.2 4.4 4.1 OTEL OM Oman Telecommunications Co SAO 5.1 5.2 5.0 OPL PW Orange Polska SA 5.5 5.2 5.1 ROUTE IN Route Mobile Ltd 15.2 13.5 11.3 SAFCOM Safaricom PLC 6.4 5.9 4.3 MTNGH GN Scancom PLC 3.5 4.1 3.3 TEL2B SS Tele2 AB 8.8 9.2 9.1 ETEL EY Telecom Egypt Co 3.6 4.3 3.7 TKA AV Telekom Austria AG 4.0 4.0 3.9 TTKOM TI Turk Telekomunikasyon AS 4.2 3.6 2.6 TCELL TI Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri AS 3.4 3.3 2.5 EXCL IJ XL Axiata Tbk PT 4.6 4.4 4.1 Synthesizing the data, I suggest that VEON trades at approximately a 30% discount on EV/EBITDA when you split the median and average calculations. That tells me that, despite the recent appreciation, VEON shares still trade at a meaningful discount to its EM telco peers, and that’s before giving credit to the Company’s non-telco assets. Risks to Thesis There are several key risks that may hinder VEON’s multiple expansion. The first is simply stagnant economic growth in key markets of Ukraine and Pakistan and/or inflation that cannot be passed through to the consumer. In my view, it is likely that Ukraine specifically will experience accelerated inflation rates as economic activity picks up and the population rebounds if and when the war ends. It is furthermore possible that Ukraine concedes large swaths of land to Russia in a peace deal, in which case Kyivstar may be covering newly Russian citizens and thus complicating the prior divestments from Russia. Separately, geopolitical conflicts in the region are rampant beyond the Ukraine-Russia war, with several high profile terrorist organizations governing key trade partners of Pakistan. I believe there is potential for a smaller-scale, yet similar sort of situation between Ukraine and Russia to occur between Pakistan and Afghanistan, as reports suggest tensions are on the rise. Moreover, VEON operates in Bangladesh, which recently experienced a coup d’é·tat, which exemplifies the political risks associated with the region. More microeconomic risks include less than expected growth and adoption of digital services of JazzCash and Helsi Healthcare, the fact the ladder is still in the early stages of monetization, and the potential for a failed listing of Kyivstar, which could be specifically detrimental to share prices if news of the potential listing has been a driving factor in the recent price momentum. Concluding Remarks My analysis supports Quant’s Strong Buy rating of VEON. I am bullish on Pakistan and Ukraine according to my macroeconomic analysis, which highlights concentrated investments in telecommunications, healthcare, and banking in these frontier markets to bolster their GDP per Capita growth and transcend their political instability. Most importantly, I believe in President Trump’s campaign promise to end the Ukraine-Russia war, and that VEON will react to catalytic news events building up to a peace deal. If and when Kyivstar is listed separately, I suspect U.S. investor sentiment for Ukraine will propel VEON’s prices higher. VEON has demonstrated impressive resilience, pivoting its capital structure to align with U.S interests by divesting from Russia and committing to Ukraine. Digital service subsidiaries such as JazzCash have significant potential to bolster the valuation of VEON once they are recognized by investors. I reiterate my agreement with Quant’s Strong Buy rating of VEON. Disclosure: This piece reflects my honest market outlook on 01/26/2025 and is subject to revision or change at any time. I/we have a current ownership stake in VEON. I have no business relationship with the Company.

$CAVA: Good Food , Great StockNYSE:CAVA , the Mediterranean themed Restaurant chain had a very successful 2024 IPO debut @ 40$. Then the stock went on to make a 52-week high of 170 $. Since then, the momentum of the stock has faded away and the price fell below 20-Day, 50-Day and 100-Day SMA. The stock bounced back from the 200 Day SMA of 108 $. This pattern is visible with most of the quality Mid Cap and Small Cap names. ‘Buyers returning at key support labels.’ Check out my analysis on other stocks and indexes at 200 Day SMA. I think the 200 Day SMA is held and we consolidate here for a few weeks before starting a upward move for a new ATH.

Time to "ZOOM" back to winnings ways?On Thursday afternoon, the King Trading Momentum Strategy triggered alongside eleven other alerts, followed by five more on Friday. This flurry of signals doesn’t exactly indicate a “bearish” sentiment, but as always, the market has its unpredictable ways! With markets approaching all-time highs, I’ve been cautious, limiting my positions to just a few with low allocations in TNA, ADBE, PYPL, and XYZ. When I analyzed Zoom (ZM), I noticed that it experienced a strong rally from July through the end of the year, gaining over 50%. Now, the key question is: has it finished consolidating, or is there more downside ahead? Looking back to July, ZM’s performance suggests a classic bull flag pattern. It’s retraced to the 38% Fibonacci level, and during a two-hour window when the signal fired, the impressive “wick” formed caught my attention. Now, after a short-term pump, it’s retracing again, and I’m eyeing the 50% Fibonacci level as a potential entry point. Unless Monday brings a major selloff due to concerns over the Fed meeting on Wednesday or the PCE data on Friday, I’ll likely use the usual morning volatility to position myself in this trade. Let’s see how this one unfolds! The King Trading Momentum Strategy employs a robust combination of indicators: the 5 EMA crossing above the 13 EMA, RSI strength, favorable momentum measured by ADX+, and MACD confirmation. ZM, along with over 100 other equities, is integrated into this script with optimized backtested take-profit and stop-loss levels. Activating these parameters is as simple as checking a box (they’re off by default), making this strategy both powerful and user-friendly.
