Cloud Kings

In simple terms, assume every cloud is a computer and needs network bandwidth, security etc.

Physical computer needs time to setup, but cloud is dynamic and within minutes setup. Whatever applies to a computer is applicable to every cloud, but dynamic increases/decreases on bandwidth & security changes.

In addition, cloud infrastructure needs additional controls such as sharing common bandwidth controls, data transfer and security.

In short Cloud is a virtual computer, a service provider can make hundreds of virtual computers in minutes etc.

All clouds are at over bought positions, look at RSI. Market brings up high before the drop heavily. This is what I track, both S&P and Nasdaq is high range, bound to correct in short cycle. I buy stocks when RSI is less than 40 range normally and sell above 70 range.

Both down since Feb 26. DBX at higher price than BOX.

Both would be killed by one of FAAMG eventually.

All cloud stocks are having a rough time, except my super stable ADBE. It’s setting up for a monster rally in the back half of the year. Money is flowing back to retail and consumer internet.

ADBE did well in transformation. Very surprising :slight_smile: All the cloud kings are doing well, trust Jim Cramer.

Another example of old men leading the charge. ADBE has been around since 1982.

Old men are experienced :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Motif has a lot of “themes” you can invest in. A theme is pretty much a self-assembled ETF. Its “Cloud Computing” motif is missing some important names. It’s more of a infrastructure layer play. Here are its holdings:

My Cloud Princess Twilio changed her gender and became a Cloud King… :thinking:

Return of Jim’s cloud kings went up 7x of S&P index since crowned. No brainer investment.

I need to find another name to fill TWLO’s spot for cloud princesses. :thinking:

Clouds are largely immune to trade war. TEAM shot up 6% today. One of Jim Cramer’s princes.

Clouds are still too high up. Need to let go more gas.
