Thought won’t see another AAPL for the rest of my life, both TSLA and SHOP are potentials. Need to believe, believe in there would be more potentials. AAPL is not the only NEO.
Apparently, I got the wrong cloud stocks. TWLO was hammered after earnings.
I added as it was declining. Slightly less than what I have before selling the 1/3, thought it would decline some more. Re-bounce pretty fast. My cloud portfolio essentially comprises only two stocks now, TWLO and VEEV. Focus hlod and no more cheeky trade. Sold off SHOP and UI too early, refused to buy back higher, end up missing big times.
While the stock is not cheap on an absolute basis at 57X forward EPS, it is attractively valued relative to other software stocks and the growth universe in general because low interest rates are expanding the valuation multiples of companies with exceptional growth prospects.
Look like we need to monitor Fed closely, any increase in Fed rate would be damaging to stocks.
Less than 50% of NVDA gain which @manch subtly boasted yesterday AH.
Notice today, cloud stocks rallies, MAGA and China stocks decline.
CFRX now beats NVDA (@manch takes note) in percentage gain. Bought 10 days ago, already gain 37%.
DXCM, TNDM are similar companies focusing on CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) and going through automation process.
From net:
World has 46% people are under diabetic and growing. The global diabetes prevalence in 2019 is estimated to be 9.3% (463 million people), rising to 10.2% (578 million) by 2030 and 10.9% (700 million) by 2045. The prevalence is higher in urban (10.8%) than rural (7.2%) areas, and in high-income (10.4%) than low-income countries (4.0%). One in two (50.1%) people living with diabetes do not know that they have diabetes. The global prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance is estimated to be 7.5% (374 million) in 2019 and projected to reach 8.0% (454 million) by 2030 and 8.6% (548 million) by 2045.
It is amazing that I have forgotten these two companies, DXCM and TNDM (knew since $6 onwards), MDT is bigger player. The other two good medical equipment are ISRG (Sunnyvale HQ) and MASI.
When you buy, do a fundamental study, read the last two qtr 10Q statement, try to buy and hold (not trade). The more you know about the companies, better you are. Medical & Medical equipment automation companies are growing as they charge heavily.
Please refer to the daily chart of VEEV and what your paid service said about alignment of moving averages. At present, price is above 10-day/ 20-day/ 50-day SMAs and all pointing up. Also 10-day is above 20-day, 20-day is above 50-day. Is that what your service said is the ideal alignment indicating is a short-term (or medium term? or long term?) bull trend? Or so long this is the case, the trend is up.
Apple, Amazon and Google (AGA) mostly disrupt with medical services, but these companies are medical equipment manufacturing , already up and running with high demand. All of them are Specialized innovative technology (Like TSLA), strong R&D and patent protected equipment. These AGA won’t even enter into manufacturing.
I remember, long back, one of the friends bought 2250 shares TNDM at $2 and holding for long ( Still I think ). At that time, I bought shares at $6, but sold it later at $41, forgotten the company thereafter.
ISRG & DXCM have high demand for their equipment , good and continuous order book positions.
(AGA) entries are issue for companies like CVS or WBA, they are going down already, but not for TNDM, ISRG, DXCM and MASI.
By somehow, I have totally gone out of focus on these companies, but Pandey reminded me what I forgot !

Presume is horizontal resistance at $168. However, there is a critical resistance at $163 which would mean breakout or breakdown. Is wondering how to assess the probable outcome.
Veeva Systems Inc. (VEEV) is one of the fundamentally strongest companies in my database of digital transformation stocks. With a 41% free cash flow margin, it is a cash-generating machine. Combine that with 25% revenue growth and you have a very popular stock for investors.
Apart from overvaluation, I have other concerns regarding this company, including the slowing revenue growth of the Veeva Commercial Cloud, increased competition and legal squabbles with IQVIA, falling margins due to recent acquisitions, and new applications that won’t be revenue generators for at least another year.
Buy and that the battle with IQVIA would be resolved profitably and new apps have outstanding revenue/ revenue growth for many years.
You are comparing pure apple (Consumer electronics) vs oranges (Lifesaving Medical electronics).
Looks like you did not do any research about products on DXCM and TNDM, just comparing words (noninvasive monitoring) you feel Apple watch is better.
These DXCM & TNDM products are life saving instruments for type 1 or extreme type 2 diabetic. See here wiki says " Dexcom received U.S. FDA approval and launched the Dexcom STS Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, which is a three-day sensor that provides up to 288 glucose measurements every 24 hours."
Apple watch no way near to this technology. If apple watch non invasive is not acurate/working, still people keep wearing apple watch as show, but DXCM and TNDM not accurate, people will die.
Since these companies have created innovative technologies with high accuracy and life saving instruments, they charge the customers heavy on each in the range of $7500-$25000 or more.
You see TNDM was just $2 by Jan 2018, but now it is $83. Like your AAPL, you see how my another friend is holding the shares !
