Brief overview of the stocks of the 2 major GPU manufacturersRecently I decided to take a delve into the sector of the stock market that truly represents my personal interests, the performance PC hardware sector. I've been performing investigation into various companies such as NASDAQ:INTC (Intel Corporation), NASDAQ:NVDA (Nvidia) & NASDAQ:AMD (Advanced Micro Devices). In many peculiar ways, these companies are very similar but also have some startling differences. What caused me to publish this idea, despite the fact that I am trying to build up some reputation, is I was doing some comparisons between Nvidia and AMD as they are the 2 major competitors in the graphics card market which is currently in some state of paralysis. During my brief investigation, I was trying to identify which option would be a viable option for 3+ year investment. Through some comparison I've come to notice some surprising facts about each company.
First of all, AMD was not a competitive company for more than 10 years after their "birth". Around 5 years ago they were on the brink of bankruptcy, due to various factors including more debt than what could have been considered manageable or sustainable. Since then, Lisa Su was appointed CEO of AMD and pulled the company straight out of that sticky situation. Since then AMD has risen in price more than 1300 percentage points. The company has attained a fairly stable financial position and moderate PE ratio in comparison to its competitors. Considering its growth, the PE ratio and earnings per share are actually impressive.
Nvidia has been established for a significantly longer period of time and have diversified within the hardware market to try maintain their monopoly as best they can despite companies such as AMD coming along and "rocking the boat". Between these 2 companies, they are sitting at very similar positions in the present bull market (At least from the perspective of an investor seeking a diversified portfolio). Due to Nvidia being listed for a considerably longer period of time, they have had time to grow and their overall market cap is sitting at just over $800B whilst AMD is sitting at a quarter of this. Both companies on the other hand have very similar EPS of $3.28 (AMD) and $3.30 (Nvidia). Based solely on statistical indication, AMD will prevail as the best investment choice as they have maintained a considerably lower PE ratio versus Nvidia (47.93 AMD; 97.17 Nvidia) and the PE hints towards their future performance as it has done in the past.
Obviously a multiplier of 47 is by no means 'attractive' but in comparison nearly 100, I would far rather put my money in AMD especially considering how good management at AMD has become, the overall stability is reassuring from a speculative stand point.
TL;DR: AMD is looking to be the far more appealing investment versus Nvidia (lower PE, similar EPS considering stocks available and company capacity)
11/29 | QQQ | Watchlist #1 QQQ -387
(Below 387 for puts)
Price targets: $383, $375
Technical Analysis: QQQs has been in a linear regression channel for the past year so under 387 will begin retesting the bottom of the channel
Rationale: With increased news of a new covid variant, if QQQs continue to sell off, the plan is to buy and hold a $380 put for a month's expiration 12/24
$AAPL | WEEKLY WATCHLIST 11/29Short-term, Apple doesn't look too hot. False breakout last week while everyone was super bullish, however we saw this one coming and didn't rush in. I'm looking for a retest of the diagonal breakout which also lines up with the golden pocket. Daily Oscillators need to cool off as well.
If markets prove to be strong through the end of the year, we may get a shallower retrace for wave 2. Target above remains at $180+. Be patient friends.
Stocks to Watch Relative Strength Edition The Market's longer term uptrend still intact but short term looks precarious. These names have shown good relative strength and accumulation volume and most are in the growth sector. This may give good risk/reward entries on some of the best names. Some of these charts still need to confirm their price action. This video is my watchlist. Most of these names are at or near all time highs or multi year highs. There are 24 total stocks on this list Many of these have IPO'd in the last few years and still have a growth story ahead of them. Know your time frame and risk tolerance. Know your earnings dates! I go through these quickly so grab a pencil and paper and jot down the names that look interesting to you and then make the trade your own. Good Luck!
Trading Idea - #NVIDIA - needs correction#NVIDIA SHORT in the mid-term!
ENTRY: 295.60 USD
TARGET: 236.77 USD (+ 20% profit)
STOP: 317.40 USD
NVIDIA Corporation operates as a visual computing company worldwide. It operates in two segments, Graphics and Compute + Networking.
1. Chip maker Nvidia (NVDA) caused euphoria with its announcement that it is developing technology for Metaverse applications. Nvidia shares soared on Thursday after a positive report from a Wall Street analyst. It hit a record high on Friday before falling back.
2. The big problem that I have with NVIDIA is that CEO and president Mr. HUANG JEN HSUN is constantly selling huge amounts of NVIDIA shares this year! Some of the 2021 major share sales:
September sale value: 47 millions
August sale value: 84 millions
March sale value: 35 millions
January sale value: 110 millions
3. In the long-term this looks definitely as a good investment because the upward trend is fully intact.
FBFacebook seems to be targeting 355-366 on a bullish move. I really want to see this hold 336 for a move to the upside, if it can't hold that lvl it will unfortunately see downside momentum ! Good luck on the trades but I'm very confident on Facebook leading QQQ ! !! ! !! Happy Thanksgiving one last time !
#PLTR reacts well on 20$ support and closed above yesterday highAs I shared this morning, I hoped for a daily close abve the high of the yesterday doji candle. The price managed to close higher than that and this is to me a great sign of possible reversal and confirmation of the rebounce from the 20$ level.
I just would like to mention that the last two times the RSI touched the oversold territory (May and July 2021) the price reacted reaching an average of 45% increase and I want to think that this might be happening again this time.
Not a financial advice, just personal opinion. Do your own due diligence and good luck!
$PYPL | WEEKLY WATCHLIST 11/22Very ugly move for PayPal last week. I have since taken profits on the initial bounce we got from $201 to $215. I hold no options for the time being. Weakness from last week opens up the possibility to see $169-170 get tested before a major low is potentially put in. Be patient with this one and careful catching a falling knife with weakness present.
$OSTK | WEEKLY WATCHLIST 11/22Pretty uneventful week for this one last week. Plan stays the same, and looking for wave 2 buys below in the $98-103 region targeting $132 ultimately. Staying patient here.
$MU | WEEKLY WATCHLIST 11/22Swing execution plan still remains the same. Micron just decided it wanted $80+ first. Still seeing this initial impulse as a wave 1 and looking for a wave 2 below. Since wave 1 was larger than I expected, I have adjusted my count for waves 2,3,4 and 5 to accommodate this change. (much larger 5 waves up)
