The Veeco story is not a happy one over a lifetime analysis. However, it is still one of the major players in display, including OLED and has recently had a string of positive momentum related news. Their earnings calls are ripe with hints at a strong play going into 2019, but this year they should be seen as a short term, technical trade that can ride strong...
Telecom build out in 2nd half or 2018 has been confirmed by multiple companies to be primed and heavy. First report of year is seasonally week and reflected across sector. AXT is traditionally conservative with forward looking statements, so beats are regular and plausible. New factory is almost completed and 3D Sensing capability has already been confirmed for...
Paypal is and will always be a permanent, financial player. The Venmo acquisition: brilliant. Square, sure, it's growing and has potential. Tell me one person back in 2014 or 2015 that had heard of it over Venmo. Brand recognition and explosive growth make it one of the pinnacles of the PYPL story. Was it expensive at $80? Yes, absolutely. Is it expensive now for...
Lowes got way, way ahead of itself during the lofty valuation period of January this year. Now that it's fallen under the lowest part of the long, historical trend, it's an easy pickup as it can move up and back over its trend lines. $86.38 is a technical, average line that helps to identify point of accumulation, but only for the short sighted understanding of...
During CES 2018, I was on a mission to hunt down companies that exuded a sense of advancement, foresight and trend setting. Gentex was one such company that I'd never heard of, but given their gorgeous expo display, helpful reps, consistent crowds and the shiny Land Rover sitting idly by, I had to investigate. They are an absolute market leader in rear view mirror...
The 3D printing sector was upgraded this year and set to grow because of reduced costs with machines, materials and increased investments in R&D and manufacturing capabilities. I've personally bought a Crealtiy CR-10S to support a small, side business I have. 3D Systems Corp. has been hit hard and dropped to levels that were near a bottom. Through all the...
Never bet against a historical visionary. Jobs, Tesla, Lincoln, Da Vinci, all men with a dynamic will to see their ideas become reality. With 2018 being turbulent and full of volatility, it's been feeding time for the anemic bears coming out of 2017. There's been no shortage of Puts and other short positions against even the best names, and Tesla these days is...
Despite the volatility experienced in 2018 so far, Apple has maintained a healthy path along its overall trend lines. Opportunities to accumulate this year have been great and ranges within Fibonacci channels have held strong. Earnings season, WWDC, OLED adoption and other catalysts can help propel stock back up and into a "money zone" that should hold and allow...
APVO is a funny stock in that it rocketed past $4 and subsequently fell just as hard and fast. The fall was never really explained as far as I know. SEC filings have come up fairly recently and are positive. Median resistance line shows an incubation level that's held. Previous breakout was right up against it. Current levels are holding above it and about to...
Snapchat is an Advertising Platform that leverages camera hardware using AR and Geo Location in order to create small, bite sized entertainment experiences that become cyclical and habitual for users. That they called themselves a camera company in 2017 was ludicrous and out of line. The new design leans heavily towards this model and focuses more on AR (which...
Between what OCLR and LITE reported, the sector looks good. MACOM reported and got caught with their pants down. Sector took a huge hit as a result. Their call bodes very well for AAOI though. They described what I saw at CES and are at least a full quarter behind AAOI. People took their results as a negative, but didn't bother to read everything I suppose. AAOI...
