Mullen is mostly unaffected by the overall market’s daily performance-It’s so heavily shorted and beaten down, accompanied by enormous share dilution this past year +.It’s an undervalued stock that needs the support outside retail investment- ultimately got this company to be successful, as currently it’s still in the pre production and hiring phase-Without a proven “product”, Mullen must rely on strong shareholder support.$Mullen Automotive(MULN)$

I got no dog in this fight; however, I am curious. Took my 20% coupon and bought a Ninja mixer and a cuisinart cordless wine opener at the store down the street from me. I live in small town america, but the BBBY store I shopped at was quite crowded; course it is the only one in town. Of course I was curious in the Pier-1 Imports store as well two blocks away and it always seemed to have good crowds, but we all know how that turned out. Just saying. The parallels to Pier-1 are quite scary.$Bed Bath & Beyond(BBBY)$

Summary Although Sea's Garena may be facing headwinds of Free Fire ban in India and normalization of growth in the post-covid world, I am optimistic for Garena in the long run. Sea's Shopee is showing improving profitability due to better unit economies in core markets and as a result of huge scale of the Shopee platform. Shopee's exit from France showed discipline in executing its e-commerce playbook and its new markets, Brazil and Poland, are showing strong traction. Based on the new information, my revised worst case target price is $131.77, implying an upside potential of 36% from current levels, making Sea Limited attractive from a valuation perspective. $Sea Ltd(SE)$ recently reported its 4Q21 results and there was a market ove

$Micron Technology(MU)$ one has to wonder what people were/are thinking to bid up MU to over $59 this morning. Fundamentals, (which continue to deteriorate) do not support such a silly move. I love it though, great selling opportunity for me , sell those overpriced calls options, and then buy them back when the stock drops which is inevitable.

Intel: 3 Reasons To Get Bullish Following The Dividend CutJustin Sullivan$Intel(INTC)$ (NASDAQ:INTC) finally announced what many investors had been expecting, the dreaded dividend cut. The company is slashing the quarterly payout to$0.125 per sharefrom the old rate of $0.365 a share. This was the firstdecrease in the company's 30-year history of making regular payments and also rolls back an 8-year streak of dividend hikes.In many ways, the step here was necessary considering some major shifts in the competitive environment, alongside challenging macro headwinds. Intel had a poor 2022, with falling sales and lower earnings, sort of forcing some hard choices. Still, it would be disingenuous to only cite market conditions with management likely also

It is difficult to predict exact impact of upcoming production cuts on share price, because this cannot be the only factor. General economic and market conditions in 2023 H1 could have stronger impact. However, it is undeniable at this point that earnings will drop a lot, because many costs are fixed, while sales volumes go down big. Capex cuts will not change, by definition, the impact on earnings.In other words, the stock, together with other names from the sector, will be under pressure. Also, signs appear that memory chipmakers getting the shorter end of the stick, comparing to other chipmakers. Some logic and power IC makers/suppliers still report satisfactory demand and even inventory shortages.In total, forward visibility is still low, and the stock performance will stay volatile. P

When FTX is going belly up, when Bitcoin is hitting new 52 week lows, when everyone thinks the crypto boom is over and never coming back, THAT is the time to buy. Coinbase is at a historic all time low that likely won’t be around for long.I’m expecting to see $200s by 2023 year end. $500 and $1,000 after that. This is a long term hold, don’t miss it!$Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$

Dave Vs. SoFi: Goliath The Likely WinnerSummaryDave and SoFi are both fintech companies that set out to challenge traditional banks and that went public via SPACs.Both offer checking accounts but SoFi offers materially more financial products.

Buy Microsoft, Alphabet, Tesla if you want to own the most valuable company's of the future. Apple will be disrupted. They can't produce cars. Everything will be connected, Google and Tesla will jump in to produce phone's connected to autonomous driving. Many companies will jump in the smartphone market with superior technology. Apple's value is purely trend-based and contemporary consumer sentiment. That can change rapidly as we have seen before. Apple will be worth 500$ billion at most, offering a niche product for the true fanboys, not for mass market. Amazon is a good company but worldwide growth is limited, with disruption from other e-commerce companies coming such as Shopify, Alibaba and social commerce. The first company to reach 5$ trillion will be Microsoft in 2030. The first com

Oil futures strip is amazing. $71 rising to $73 and then tailing off to $70 over the next 18 months.Then, price falls $0.20/bbl each month (slowly adjusting to a decline if $0.10/bbl/month) for the next 10 years to finally reach $53/bbl in 2034.I’ve never seen such a rigidly constructed futures strip.As far as minimizing volatility, here is an opportunity through hedging for all of American business to fix costs (or revenue if you are a producer)…..while we wildcatters speculate on new upsetting events to deliver us a premium. 🤞$Occidental(OXY)$
