I noticed that Nordstrom is making headlines today as the Nordstrom family moves to take the company private, effectively "buying it back" from public shareholders. I find this fascinating and may add it to one of my themes for 2025: more small and mid cap companies will leave public markets and go private. What is Nordstrom's doing? The strategy involves...

The charts of companies like Applovin, Carvana, and Twilio are all companies that, at one point, were high flyers during the 2020/21 bull market. However, they are also poster child's for its subsequent collapse. But then again, pay close attention to the charts that I've shared here... something is brewing. Applovin: A Sudden Vertical Surge Starting with...

While many investors spend weeks or even months searching for the next big AI stock, a company from a different sector has quietly taken the spotlight since the start of the year. With Mediterranean rice bowls as their signature offering, CAVA has surged to a market value of $15 billion and has become one of the top-performing stocks of the year up 200% since its...

Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) has essentially crashed. I think many of us know this story, seeing it across cities and towns across the country. However, based on the recent price action, who knows how much longer this will last. It currently trades at 25+ year lows. Here are a few key reasons why Walgreens stock is in a free fall: 1. E-Commerce Growth:...

You often hear about equity markets at all-time highs, and some of the excitement in crypto, but today I just have to showcase the recent move in gold. Gold is at an all-time high today and remains the most valuable asset in the world by market cap. Here are some stats and facts: Gold's Market Cap: Valued at over $12 trillion, gold is the most valuable asset in...

This chart, tracking the performance of PayPal NASDAQ:PYPL , Coinbase NASDAQ:COIN , Block NYSE:SQ , and Robinhood NASDAQ:HOOD over the past year. I think the chart offers a captivating glimpse into the potential return of a sector that has gone through a fairly large downturn, and drawdown, but continues to show resiliency. I should add that this is also an...

When market volatility spikes, I see many traders start talking about volatility instruments like UVXY, VXX, and UVIX. Yes, in the moment, these symbols may spike a bit, but over the long-term, and as clearly shown on the chart above, they appear to do only one thing – go down. So, I am writing this post to try to help any traders/investors out there interested in...

Ladies and gentlemen, traders of all ages, today I am sharing an idea about 3D printing stocks trading at remarkably low levels considering the following points: 1. They've been through several "hype cycles" already. 2. They've been improving the tech for 10+ years now. 3. But most importantly, generative AI is about to unlock ridiculously powerful capabilities...

The other day I was scanning for stocks hitting 52-week highs (or in other words, their highest price in 12 months' time) and noticed that several private equity stocks appeared on this custom scan that I was performing. The stocks were KKR, Blackstone, and Apollo Global. I found a few things interesting about this that are worth discussing and looking into more...

I’m still in awe at the drop happening across fashion stocks like NASDAQ:LULU , NYSE:NKE , and even Under Armour. The other week, I wrote about Nike and now I realize I must comment on the drop of Lululemon, which is down 50% this year and now has its lowest PE ratio in over decade all while doing about $1 billion in Free Cash Flow last holiday season. So...

I recently asked myself a simple question: What are the top-performing stocks of 2024 so far? After running a customized scan, I have compiled the data to share with everyone here on TradingView both as a chart above and in this text list below. Each stock on this list met the following criteria: - They are officially listed on the NYSE or Nasdaq. - Have...

The chart on the top shows the price of gold adjusted for the Money Supply. The chart at the bottom shows the price of gold over time. Compare and contrast the two and you see a valuable fact. Actually, this is something we should all do more often with our favorite symbols – compare and contrast them to the growing money supply. Meaning, while gold is hitting...

I was pretty surprised to see that just a few weeks ago, on a random summer June day, over 51 billion dollars worth of Apple was traded. That's 51 BILLION DOLLARS of Apple traded in just 24 hours. After doing some research I also realized that this was a record for Apple. At no other point in history has this much Apple traded. This is hard to ignore for any...

Stef's Dollar Volume Counter is my second script that I've worked on and coded. It is free and open source for everyone! Get it here: I am proud of this script because it does something very, very important: it counts the amount of money traded, not just the number of shares or contracts. In this educational post, I want to share why I think it matters and...

I recently wrote about Oliveda International OTC:OLVI , which is an OTC stock that caught my attention because it's up more 100% since the start of the year. It also has a market cap of $3+ billion. You don't often see OTC stocks with a market cap like this. They usually move to the NYSE or Nasdaq. Thus, I find this hard to ignore. After doing some research into...

A certain acquisition caught my attention this week. The company sunglass company Ray-Ban (owned by EssilorLuxottica) has just acquired Supreme for $1.5 billion in their first push into clothing. For those of you who know the street wear brand Supreme, this should come as a rather interesting acquisition, specifically that Supreme is considered a significant brand...

I recently wrote about Eli Lilly and why it has caught my attention, what it may mean for markets, but more specifically the most expensive and elaborate industry on Earth, that none of us can understand... HEALTHCARE. Insurance is wildly expensive. Many people are focused on health. Scientists around the planet are trying to solve health. And now, Eli Lilly,...

Nike's stock has dropped 30% this year and nearly 60% from its 2021 highs. It continues to drop, and now, I am worried that they will soon suspend their dividend to move cash flow into other areas that need to support the business. I believe Nike may reach a low close to its COVID-19 crash levels, presenting a buying opportunity for patient investors as I've...
