Could This $3 Stock Disrupt the $12 Trillion Healthcare Industry? / Companies / Healthcare Sector
By: Submissions
The US health and medical insurance industry is a $1.1-trillion maze that is impossible to navigate.And in the bigger scenario of a massive $11-trillion-plus global healthcare industry, America is definitely not first.
Americans are fed up, and a digital revolution that goes way beyond telemedicine is the only thing that will restore control.
Fixing it is a highly disruptive, multi-trillion-dollar opportunity.
Telemedicine, or ‘Telehealth’, will soar from $42 billion in 2018 to $400 billion in 2026.
Healthcare IT alone will be worth $390 billion by 2024.

FANG Stocks FALSE Breakout Before Next Breakdown! / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The FANG stocks collective (10 stocks) broke to new all time highs early September after putting in a higher low mid August. Technically this is a bullish pattern with strong support at 6800. The normal expected behaviour right now would be for the Fangs to bottom right about now before continuing their March to new all time highs as the resolution of what amounts to a 6 months consolidation trading range.

Profit-Taking After Earnings May Send Stock Prices Lower / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2021
By: Paul_Rejczak
Stocks retraced their short-term decline yesterday, but today we may see a lower opening following the earnings releases. Is this a topping pattern?
The S&P 500 index gained 0.98% on Thursday, Oct. 28, as it retraced its whole Tuesday’s-Wednesday’s decline to the support level of 4,550. It got back to the Tuesday’s record high of 4,598.53 yesterday. The daily close was just 2 points below that level. The stock market is still reacting to quarterly corporate earnings releases. Yesterday we got the releases from AAPL and AMZN, among others. But the first reaction to their numbers was negative. The market seems overbought in the short-term it is most likely fluctuating within a topping pattern.
The nearest important support level is at 4,550, and the next support level is at 4,520-4,525, marked by the previous Wednesday’s daily gap up of 4,520.40-4,524.40. On the other hand, the resistance level is at around 4,600, marked by the new record high. Despite reaching new record highs, the S&P 500 remained below a very steep week-long upward trend line, as we can see on the daily chart (chart by courtesy of http://stockcharts.com):

IM Academy Shares How to Get Started in Cryptocurrency Trading / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Sumeet_Manhas
Ever since the birth of Bitcoin in 2008, the excitement surrounding cryptocurrency has steadily reached a fever pitch. Tech tycoon Elon Musk says Bitcoin is his largest holding, and every time he tweets or talks up another coin, it surges to new heights. Open up social media, and you’ll find young traders spouting off about their fattened-up crypto portfolios. The latest rage is NFT’s, or non-fungible tokens, a digital currency that is unique and not interchangeable. There is always something new and developing in the world of cryptocurrency—after all, there are hundreds of cryptocurrencies in existence—so it’s natural to be curious. But where does one start? IM Academy has the answer. IM Academy, which has taught students worldwide, says that it’s seeing a brand-new influx of students enroll into their program explicitly geared toward digital currencies: DCX Academy. DCX Academy is also available as a part of Elite Academy, a group of IM Academy’s popular academies. The dot-com is the destination for students looking to level up their trading strategy. Their courses feature segments, add-ons, and packages that make it easy to get started. Here’s a preview of what students are learning.

Wild Choppy Stock Market Moves / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2021
By: Monica_Kingsley
One-sided S&P 500 session, perhaps a bit too much – the bulls are likely to face issues extending gains when VIX is examined. The stock market sentiment remains mixed, and one could easily be pardoned for expecting larger gains on yesterday‘s magnitute of the dollar slump. And long-dated Treasuries barely moved – their daily candle approximates nicely the volatility one as both give the impression of wanting to move a bit higher while their Thursday‘s move was a countertrend one.
Not even value was able to surge past its Wednesday‘s setback, which makes me think the bears can return easily. At the same time, tech stepped into the void, and had a positive day, balancing the dowwnside S&P 500 risks significantly. The very short-term outlook in stocks is unclear, and choppy trading between yesterday‘s highs and 4,550 shouldn‘t be surprising today.
At the same time, precious metals could have had a much stronger day – but the sentiment was risk-off in spite of the tanking dollar and doubted yields as the rising tech and gold at the expense of silver illustrate. Miners recent outperformance was absent just as much as commodities vigor with the exception of copper. And it‘s more celebrations in the red metal following its steep and far reaching correction, that‘s the part of missing ingredients as much as fresh inflation fears (yes, adding to risk-off mood, inflation expectations declined yesterday).

The No.1 Tech Stock For 2022 / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Submissions
The $11.9 trillion global healthcare industry is in the early stages of a massive upheaval.Frustrated by a lack of information and reliability from their current insurers – and utterly confusing billing systems that are nearly impossible to navigate – North Americans have begun taking their healthcare into their own hands...and in a powerful way.
For example...
- A staggering 1.2 billion wellness apps were downloaded to mobile phones in 2020...
- Every day, one billion people turn to Google to inquire about their health concerns...
- Telemedicine soared in popularity, as virtual doctor visits went from being used by 11% of patients in 2019 to 46% of patients in 2020...
- And providers report they are now seeing 50 to 175 times the number of patients via telehealth than they did prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This sudden, significant shift in consumer behavior has already had a dramatic impact on the fortunes of some companies.

Why Most Stocks May Go Nowhere for the Next 10 Years! / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2021
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Here's why PE ratio's matter as the following chart shows the return 10 years forward from the starting average PE i.e if the stock market is trading on an average PE of 27 than can basically be expected to go nowhere for the next 10 years. Whilst the lower the PE the higher the expected return (on average), where the safe zone for investing is at a starting PE of between 10 and 20.

The Bank of Canada Ends QE, Plunging Gold Prices in CAD / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
So, QE ended (so far in Canada, but the Fed will follow suit) and the termination plunged gold prices in Canadian dollars. Will this repeat globally?
Finally! Yesterday (October 27, 2021), one central bank ended its quantitative easing program after gradually reducing the pace of asset purchases earlier this year. Don’t panic though - it wasn’t the Fed, nor the ECB, nor the Bank of Japan. It was the Bank of Canada. As we can read in the monetary policy statement:
In light of the progress made in the economic recovery, the Governing Council has decided to end quantitative easing and keep its overall holdings of Government of Canada bonds roughly constant.

Crypto-Alert - Will Solana Continue To 'Moon'? / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Submissions
Summary
Ethereum was the first smart contract platform to gain wide use and is still the market leader.
Many competing smart contract platforms have tried to unseat Ethereum from the leadership position by capitalizing on its speed and cost issues.
Solana is a new competitor that is cheap, fast, and that has seen great price appreciation, but will it last?
The Ethereum Revolution
Ethereum (ETH-USD) brought the use of smart contracts to scale. Smart contracts are essentially financial agreements between two or more parties, governed by code. Typically, they form both the agreement and the means to execute the actions specified in the agreement when terms are met.

Stock Market Volaility - What is Contango in the VIX? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2021
By: Chris_Vermeulen
If you are new to trading or have been trading stock but are interested in options, you can find more information at The Technical Traders – Options Trading Signals Service. The head option’s trading specialist Neil Szczepanski who has been trading options for almost 20 years sends out real live trade alerts on real trades with real money. Come check it out here: TheTechnicalTraders.com
I have been trading options and coaching / mentoring other new options traders for years. I have seen new traders who were lucky and ended up with some winning trades and others who were so frustrated and on the verge of giving up. I have seen it all. One of the things I have noticed is that very few people understand the VIX or AKA the fear gauge to the markets.
Many know that it is a measure of fear but they don’t really understand what it is and how it is constructed. If you are an options trader, I would argue it is very important that you as a trader understand what the VIX is and how it works.

Central Planners Clinging to Hope That Inflation Is “Transitory” / Economics / Inflation
By: MoneyMetals
As trading closes out for October ahead of Halloween, the specter of inflation is haunting markets.
While some investors still cling to the hope that it will be transitory, a growing number are now worried that pricing pressures and even shortages will intensify heading into Christmas – and possibly get worse in 2022. Discussions of the term “hyperinflation” have even made the rounds on social media following a warning from Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
More on that in a bit. But first, let’s review this week’s price action in precious metals markets.
Gold over the past few trading days has been oscillating around the $1,800 level. Prices currently come in at $1,783 an ounce to register a weekly decline of 0.9%.
