Silicon is the New Oil

Here’s Where I’d Prefer to be a Buyer and a Seller in Micron

Based on the chart, I would prefer to be a buyer in the $32.50 to $33 range, and a seller in the $42 to $42.50 range. A weekly close under $32.50 opens up the risk of a bearish head and shoulders pattern being triggered that targets $22.50 on the downside. If I were a buyer around $32.50, I’d look to use $30 as a hard stop. Although I’d be a seller of at least half a long position at $42.50, I wouldn’t tempt a short there. A breakout above $42.50 brings $50 into play quickly.

Essentially the technician is unsure the bottoming process has completed.

4 Semiconductor Stocks on the Move

@manch wrote above articles to hype his choice of semis.

NVDA AMD XLNX MU

Sharing is caring :scream:

Monday will be interesting.

Jim Cramer said buy NVDA. Now waiting for @manch to unload his NVDA holding frantically :grinning:

MU is technically bullish.

NVDA is neutral. Neither bullish or bearish.

After the rescinding of the Huawei ban and the inception of the trade dispute between South Korea and Japan, MU’s revenue outlook is better than expected.

Technically oversold so might have a short-term weakness for BTFD. Longer term expect to climb above $60 :grinning:

Is @manch scooping up those two?

AMD had run quite a bit. I sold my calls Monday when it dropped below the 10-day.

You have become like WSB (wallstreetboy) !

You and me know that coronavirus scare is BS, only @manch believe it. Is completely not lethal to anybody who is young and after 2nd mutation. You have to eat the bat to die from the virus. Anyhoo, Gilead has the potential vaccine, after a few months, everybody would forget about it and wonder what was the scare.

Exactly, This will come and go often to bring down market until news/media find another reason to assign the dip !

An article using TA for long term price behavior, hopefully you can now do away with the thinking that TA is short-term. Btw, make $$$ trading MU :slight_smile: Now holding about 2000 delta :pray:

This test looks incomplete due to Wednesday’s shooting star candlestick at the January high, suggesting that the stock will head into another test at 50-day EMA support near $55. With a little luck, a dip into the Feb. 4 gap between $54 and $55 will mark a low-risk buying opportunity, ahead of a breakout that allows the stock to clear 2018 resistance and take the next step on its multi-decade journey back to the 2000 peak.

Micron Technology stock has shaken off virus headwinds and could break out soon, potentially heading into the upper $70s.

My EW interpretation is at least $71, most probably somewhere $80-$100 before a correction.
Recent high =$61.19

I understand lot of terms the investopedia author says. Whatever he said, if someone follows, it works some times and short term, but not at all long term. If someone trades based on his ideas, most likely losses are more than success.

Just 50-day SMA & 200-Day SMA and cross over is almost 7 month term.

Author is doing it for publicity, and there is no real value behind. If someone, really good at 100% (even 80%), why should they publicize as they can get millions (or even billions like Jim Simon) .

Long term, fundamentals are they key, that is why stocks are going up or down based on events and it is future financial impacts. This has been like this ever since stock market started.

Those who understand the fundamentals, clearly make a difference of their returns in addition to whatever short term TA is used.

Just like I did for AMZN, GOOGL, today I grabbed TSLA at $735 at pre-market as I understood lot of people were scared when TSLA sends follow-on shares for 2B, but it gives TSLA an edge for growth !

Once an idea is fossilized, no amount of proof can change one’s mind. Human fallacy.

From your comment, you don’t understand TA. Knowing all the terminology doesn’t mean understand the meanings of the system.

The same statement I can say about you too ! :crazy_face:

Hmmm, that is your assumption about my TA knowledge. Let it be like that, no issues. I follow my own way and you follow your own way.

We agree to disagree here. :rofl:

I show proof. TA does apply for long term. And using DCF (well known professor example) doesn’t work well for trading.

First you said TA doesn’t apply to long term.
Show you many times it does.
Now you said, not accurate and time delay. These are characteristics of different TA indicators, some of them not relevant to a certain investor profile. You have to use the right ones.

My point is TA does apply to long term. You have yet to show concrete example to prove otherwise.
