Preview of the week starting 24 June 2024 - is FedEx a buy?
Public Holidays America, Singapore, China and Hong Kong do not have public holidays in the coming week. Economic Calendar (24Jun24) Notable Highlights The most important macro news in the coming week would be that of the core PCE price index.

Chicago PMI will also be revealed in the coming week. This will bring some understanding to Chicago’s production outlook. The forecast for CB consumer confidence is at 100.

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ 💪💪💪 HOLD FIRM! Kia kaha! 💪💪💪 June 26th is the Shareholder meeting for NVIDIA. Huang selling another $31 million is a drop in the 🌊 for him ~ less than 1% of his net worth. Huang holds over $110 Billion! Insiders sell for all kinds of reasons. Anyone with any knowledge of insider transactions knows that buys are more reliable than sells! At some point he needs to monetise for whatever the reason and this was a pre-planned sale & well earned on his part. Peeps need to stay informed and stop getting reeled in by click bait 🎣. Instead they do a RunForrestRun. Who wouldn't sell at an all time high if they needed the dosh ~ isn't he going on vacation on his new yacht?🤣 Post market trading $127.00. Check out my F
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ Tech stocks brought in $8B+ last week... I think this has to do with JP Morgan, BofA, Goldman Sachs, and Evercore ISI turning bullish and raising $SPY targets to $5600-$6000. Majority of the S&P gains this year came from large cap tech, and if earnings are not slowing down, it's just hard for funds to not have more exposure to them. If Q2 earnings continue to do well, these stocks may not burst out to the upside, but they will not be sold off aggressively, requiring some level of exposure. Rates coming down will be another tailwind to only help tech stocks continue to gain mom

$Visa(V)$ Least we forget. While everyone is talking about Tesla, GameStop, nvda, obsessively. Im kinda having a Nickelback moment. You know that Canadian rock band with fantastic songs that everyone hates now because their songs were played over and over and over. I'm just over reading post about how great or how terrible Tesla is. And now nvda, is it going to crash now after reaching record highs, or will it reach new highs... quite frankly I've lost interest. I'll just sit on the stock I have, and go three monkeys on it.... see, speak and hear no evil. Maybe instead I should buy more $Costco(COST)$ or $Wal-Mart(WMT)$ Or $

Small retail options trader - 2024 Started options trading this year. Saw good returns from NVDA calls initially. Some losses after the GTC with a failed calls prediction. Made good returns on Intel puts during Israel/Iran conflict. Also saw returns from AMC puts. Had some pre meme-stock calls prior to its first large run this year with GME calls and AMC calls. Have reinvested those returns currently into GME leaps. Also had some short term calls on GME, AMC and FFIE for the predicted 6/21 price run but those failed with the share prices all ending sideways that week. From now to the end of the year I'm committed to increasing my GME leap position with $60, $125 calls expiring in Jan 25. Also considering some smaller short term NVDA calls which I believe should pay good re
YOU WORK HARD FOR YOUR MONEY, SO LET SOME OF THAT MONEY WORK HARD FOR YOU So, I'm a bit of a contrarian watching stocks and trading daily it's a lot of fun, especially if you make a winning trade. But what about investing in stocks that you don't have to watch. Cash flow is king right. As a fundamental investor you are looking for a stock that is cash flow positive and has growing returns. So as an investor, well shouldn't you have the same expectation of yourself? Day trading is a great way to bring in cash on a daily basis, but it requires a lot of effort. Way more effort than just analysing one stock, deciding it's great and just holding it and perhaps setting up an auto investment so it's A set and forget kinda deal. Don't get me wrong I like a little excitement,but I also

Graph statistics from Jan 2023 though. 2023 was a rather incredible and revolutionary year for me. It was the year where I decided to 'wake up' and turn my account of bleeding reds around. 🍎➡️🍏 It was nightmarish difficult to reverse the many reds I had, especially the $22K loss in $Sono Group N.V.(SEV)$ 🥴😵😵💫 My portfolio suffered badly in Jan 2024 (2nd pic) when the Crypto sell off occurred (after the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs), and I've been on a roller coaster ride up and down multiple times (if you see my graph in first pic). 🤯🤯 My regret was not letting go of my stocks at the right time and not taking profits when due. Paper gains are not yours unless its realised, sadly. 😬😪 Now, I'm on my 5th climb up. It's draining and o
