$Altria(MO)$ is currently trading at $57.38 per share. This stock is favored by dividend investors due to its significant 7.12% dividend yield. Earlier this year, it was considered a buy at $40, meaning it has gained about 37% year-to-date. Altria is facing a period of stagnation in terms of price movement, with its stock being highly influenced by external factors like government regulations and market shifts. While the company's dividend yield remains strong, its stock's technical setup suggests a more cautious approach, with limited growth in the short term. Watch for potential signs of a trend reversal or breakout, especially if the company continues to make progress in its shift to non-combustible products and adapts to market challenges. Earni

As the year 2024 draws to a close, the global financial market has faced significant challenges and considerable development. At this time of year-end review, I hope to reflect on last year's predictions and provide a framework for global investment in 2025 for discussion and criticism.I remember that more than twenty years ago, when I graduated from the University of Lausanne with a Ph.D. and joined Morgan Stanley on Wall Street, I would learn from the Chief US Economist, Byron Wien, about his top ten global economic predictions for the following year. The intellectual sparring between him and the then Chief Economist, Steven Roach, on macroeconomic issues was immensely beneficial to us.In recent years, major institutions in the United States have been promoting young people, including ma

Quick Summary. Last Wed, 04 Dec 2024’s tech rally pushed the major indexes to new highs. (see below) Friday’s latest US Non-farm payroll economic data did little to shake investors’ confidence that the Fed will cut interest rates at its final meeting of 2024. In the first week of December: (see above) DJIA: fell -0.63% (-283.34 to 44,642.45). It was the lone index in the red. S&P 500: rose +0.83% (+50.16 to 6,090.27). Nasdaq: rose +3.14% (+604.35 to 19,859.77). Non Farm Payroll - November. Jobs payroll roared to 227,000 jobs from revised October’s paltry 36,000 jobs. This is 25,000 more than Wall Street expectations. Job gains centred around the following sectors: Health care (54,000), Leisure & hospitality (53,000), and Government (33,000). Based on past three months’ average of 1

As 2025 approaches, I’ve been reflecting on my trading journey and the lessons I’ve learned. This reflection has inspired me to refine my strategies and adopt new approaches for the upcoming year. Here’s how I intend to trade more effectively in 2025. 1. Maintain Sufficient Liquid Cash One of the key lessons I’ve learned is the importance of having liquidity to seize investment opportunities. Recently, I missed the chance to buy the TLT ETF when it dipped below $90 because my funds were tied up in less liquid assets. To address this, I plan to allocate a larger portion of my portfolio to money market funds, which are both low-risk and easy to liquidate. This ensures that I have funds ready to deploy when attractive opportunities arise, allowing me to act quickly and decisively. 2. Enhance

Q3 U.S. stock market status(i) Valuation1. OverallCurrently, U.S. stock valuations are at high levels, with $.SPX(.SPX)$ index valued at the 94% historical quartile (Shiller PE) since 1990. According to $Goldman Sachs(GS)$ Group strategists, despite the rise in U.S. stock valuations across the board, historically high valuations alone have not been enough of a cause for immediate concern, and higher valuations are usually benign if the subsequent economic growth environment is healthy.Stock valuations will continue to be a concern. The U.S. tech "Mag 7" have created their own asset class, resulting in distorted valuation metrics, but the actual valuation of U.S. equities is still reasonable, and in addition

Market Outlook of S&P500 - 09Dec24 Observations: The MACD indicator is showing an uptrend. Moving Averages (MA). Both the MA50 line and the MA200 line are on an uptrend. Both MA50 and MA200 lines are below the last candle. Thus, it could be read as bullish for both the mid and the long term. The 3 Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) lines are on an uptrend. Chaikin’s Monetary flow (CMF) shows an uptrend. However, there seems to be more selling momentum than buying. This can lead to a potential trend change. From the 20 indicators, all are pointing to a “Strong Buy” rating for the S&P500 (for Daily interval). 21 indicators recommend a “Buy” and none recommend a “Sell”. From the candlestick pattern, the latest seems to point to a more “bearish” outlook. From the above, the S&P500 s

BTC to hit $110k within two weeks (most probably next week) and $MARA Holdings(MARA)$ to hit $30 as well??? I have a feeling... [Surprised]  

Going into 2025, it will be interesting to see how the transition will take place in the Senate and parliament. The main government body has already rejected some of Trump's nominations for key positions, so it seems like Trump is not getting a free reign after all.  Anticipating a lot of uncertainty and votality in the market, but you sure can use that to your advantage by doing options trading and swing trading. I adapt and follow the flow of money in the market. Keep my emotions and bias to the minimum and keep my pockets to the maximum. 🤩😎 @madluvyz - Specialist in using TA to sell options and swing trade.😺

As we close the books on 2024, a year marked by market resilience and cautious optimism, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are poised near all-time highs. Investors are naturally asking: can this momentum carry into 2025? To answer this, we must delve into economic indicators, market trends, and sector-specific opportunities that could shape the upcoming year. 2024 in Review: Setting the Stage for 2025 The S&P 500's impressive rally this year was driven by strong corporate earnings, easing inflationary pressures, and a Federal Reserve that signaled an end to its aggressive rate-hiking cycle. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq surged on the back of the ongoing AI revolution, which continued to fuel big-tech valuations. These trends set a strong foundation for 2025, but the path ahead is not without its unc

Hi everyone, today’s free newsletter of the week is finally here! But before that, let’s do a quick review of the returns generated from the last 4 free newsletter ideas (prices and returns are rounded to the whole number): Without further ado, let’s delve into today’s newsletter: Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ: AMD) In my previous newsletter on AMD, I was focused on a possible monthly Stochastic bullish crossover, which ultimately never materialised. This is why I mentioned that crossovers are not confirmed until the candle closes. Following the failed crossover, AMD continued to head lower. AMD has a 2016 support trendline (in green) and a 1974 trendline (in purple). This time round, the oscillator is heading back into extreme oversold levels and is almost fully reset. The weekly cha

Bringing the attention to a less loved stock for much of 2024, Disney(DIS). Seems like its turning around by acquiring Espn+ and stabilizing Hulu as it fight for market share in the streaming space. The new CEO seem to be steering it at the right direction again. Def a stock to watch going into 2025.  @madluvyz - Specialist in using TA to sell options and swing trade.😺

$Occidental(OXY)$ As an investor in Occidental Petroleum (OXY), I have chosen to maintain my position in the company despite the recent volatility in its stock price. Below, I outline the reasons why I am not selling my shares and believe that holding on to OXY is the right decision in the current market environment: 1. OXY Appears Oversold One of the primary reasons I am not selling my Occidental shares is that I believe the stock is oversold. An oversold condition typically suggests that the market has overreacted to short-term news or sentiment, pushing the stock price below its intrinsic value. This creates an opportunity for long-term investors to purchase at a discount. While market fluctuations are a normal part of investing, the fundamental
