$BTC Falls to $20K. MSTR Bankrupts. Undue Fear?
Prominent Bitcoin detractor Peter Schiff took to social media “X” (Twitter) to predict that the price of Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency, will plunge back to the $20,000 level. The gold bug argues that despite the plunge, it would still be a "high" price for the crypto leader. If price really falls, he estimates that business intelligence company $MicroStrategy(MSTR)$, which is known as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, will have to face an unrealized loss of $3.25 billion. Schiff has also accused MicroStrategy, that owns a total 214,400 Bitcoins of manipulating the largest cryptocurrency. The gold bug's recent comment came after the price of Bitcoin slipped to an intraday low of $60,065 after the seemingly underw

QYLD: Consider JEPQ As An Alternative
Summary QYLD ETF writes ATM call options on the Nasdaq 100 Index to generate high distribution yields. The Fund has underperformed because it trades off all of the index's upside. Instead of QYLD, investors may want to consider the JEPQ, which also writes call options on the Nasdaq 100 Index, but sells OTM calls and retains some upside. PM Images Last summer, I wrote a cautious follow-up article on the Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF (NASDAQ:QYLD). In my opinion, on any reasonably long time frame, QYLD's strategy will likely underperform the passive Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) in delivering

Warren Buffett’s insights: make money with little risk
Another year's Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting, with Cook and Gates seen sitting in the audience. The moment when Buffett mistakenly called out "Charlie" was somewhat poignant. In the latest Berkshire Q1 holdings, approximately 75% of the fair value of its portfolio remains concentrated in American Express, Apple, Bank of America, Chevron, and Coca-Cola.It's worth noting that Berkshire Q1 still remained a net seller, with cash reserves reaching new highs. In Q1, Berkshire sold nearly $20 billion worth of stocks while only purchasing $2.7 billion, leading its portfolio value to decline from $354 billion at the end of last year to $336 billion.Although Apple remains Berkshire's largest holding, its stake value dropped from $174 billion at the end of last year to $135.4 billion.

I opened $SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ ,SoFI: Bought in SoFi at $7 as part of getting assigned after the covered puts I sold went into the money and expired on 3rd May. SoFi closed at $6.96 at closing and I was ok with it. For weeks I’ve been selling SoFi at support $7 and this week it finally went as low as $6.61 before ending at $6.96 at closing. I’ve collected $0.36 premium from the options so $0.04 in the money meant I’m still profitable for $0.32 which translate to 4.55% premium collection over 25 days.

EVs are back! 🥂🍾🍷- Technical Analysis
A long awaited happy week for EV investors last week. Generally, most of the EV companies had positive gain on their share prices over the week. The biggest winner belongs to Tesla. TESLA Last week, Elon Musk's quick visit to China was rewarded immediately. Tesla received in-principle approval from Chinese government to deploy its driver-assistance system (FSD) in the world's biggest auto market. Tesla will partner with tech giant Baidu on maps and navigation, to assist its FSD development in China. This agreement might be a potential revenue boost for Tesla. Besides, more and more automakers signed up to access Tesla's electric-vehicle charging infrastructure across the United States, taking the Elon Musk-led company's superchargers closer to becoming the industry standard.&nb
TOPAs an AI financial analyst, I don't have personal preferences or the ability to invest in stocks. However, I can provide you with an analysis of the EV stocks mentioned in your post. Tesla (TSLA): Tesla had a positive week, with Elon Musk's visit to China resulting in in-principle approval for its driver-assistance system (FSD) in the Chinese market. Tesla's partnership with Baidu for maps and navigation in China could also boost its revenue. From a technical perspective, Tesla's share price is above its EMA50 and the EMA10 has formed a golden cross with EMA25, indicating a potential trend reversal. As long as the share price remains above the EMA50 support, the short-term outlook for Tesla is bullish. Xiaomi (01810): Xiaomi's share price broke out of the ascending triangle pattern and surpassed a major resistance line at 17 HKD. Strong sales and the positive technical chart suggest a bullish outlook for Xiaomi. BYD Company (01211): BYD experienced a slowdown in Q1 net profit growth due to subdued vehicle sales and a price war in the EV market. However, analysts expect the company to meet its full-year targets. From a technical standpoint, BYD's share price broke above the EMA200 for the first time since November 2023, indicating a potential trend reversal. This breakout above the EMA200 is seen as a bullish signal for BYD. It's important to note that investing in stocks carries risks, and it's crucial to conduct thorough research and analysis before making any investment decisions. Additionally, past performance is not indicative of future results.

Why I Can't Get More MARA shares
$Marathon Digital Holdings Inc(MARA)$ latest production report is a mixed bag, but for a long-term investor like myself, the positives outweigh the short-term dip in monthly production. Here's why I remain bullish on MARA. While April's production dipped slightly compared to March, it still represents a 21% year-over-year increase. This growth is impressive, especially considering the recent Bitcoin halving event that inherently reduces miner rewards. Marathon managed to increase its average operational hash rate by 15% in April. This translates to a more efficient mining operation, squeezing out more production per unit of energy consumed. Another bright spot is the surge in transaction fees as a percentage of total revenue. This indicates increa

Shall We Add Defensive With S&P 500 Sector While Await Rate Cut Decision?
As we are expecting another strong jobs report in the bag today (03 May 2024), we have heard the Fed Chair Powell comments that rate hike is unlikely, but the decision for rate cut is still not there. So how can we adjust our strategy in order to defend against this uncertainty and we can take advantage of how the S&P 500 sector is performing. Consumer Staples Sector Out Of Favor In 2023 If we looked at the defensive sector, Consumer Staples in 2023, the stocks had a challenging year in 2023. But the valuations are now compelling and profit margins and volumes potentially poised to rise in 2024. With the longer and stable interest rates, I believe the consumer staples sector would have a better 2024 especially when investors are shifting their favor to defensive and dividend-paying sto

3 May 2024: Is this just the beginning of Xiaomi's rally?
Long-term readers of this community should know that I am a firm believer in Xiaomi's ecosystem as well as the products that Xiaomi manufactures. Xiaomi's products are not only high specifications but they are also priced very well with users at its heart. Xiaomi SU7, its electric vehicle product is immensely popular and according to what I heard, during this public holiday period, Xiaomi EV stores are very crowded. The long waiting time did not deter people from buying their product, which shows the high specifications as well as a deep understanding of users' demand. All in all, I believe this is just the beginning of XIAOMI'S SHARE PRICE RALLY as long as Chinese tech stocks rebound is intact, geopolitics situation does not worsen and there are no third world war.
