Q: Any reason for stock's 6.52% decline, in Tuesday trading ? Is it worth adding after the big drop, or better wait for the upcoming earnings ?

Thank You

Q: I am looking for a position in my income portfolio and would like to choose from CPX, CM and TD.
It would seem that Canada is heading into a recession and that would affect the bank earnings, more significantly CIBC than the others.
CPX on the other hand has missed earnings, maintained guidance and has dropped and likely to recover?
Which one would you choose to add?
Regards
Rajiv

5i Research Answer:

One of the most important ways that we use charts in our views of individual stocks is based on momentum. A stock that is hitting new 52-week highs, showing a strong uptrend of higher highs and higher lows is an indicator to us that something is likely going right at that company.

Aside from trends and momentum, some employees of the firm like to use RSI, bollinger bands can be important for potential breakouts. For chart formations or set ups, we have seen a lot of 'cup and handle' formations work recently, as well as 'inverse head and shoulders patterns' in the broader markets.

Most importantly, we have found that using a longer-term RSI coupled with historical forward return data, and strong fundamentals to provide one of the most interesting combinations.

Please elaborate on what parameters are used for longer term RSI (eg 7, 14 et), and if you are referencing, for example, a 5 year weekly chart. What is meant by "historical forward return data": is this the amount of meeting/beating earnings projections? Personally, I use longer term PPO as I've found its helpful. Comment?
thanks

Q: In your response you gave to Jon on August 1 you said that one of the most interesting combinations you use for stock analysis is "historical forward return data.

To me thats an oxymoron 'historical forward return'

What do you mean by that.

Thanks

Q: Current thoughts? Is good earnings growth ahead?

Q: I’m looking to invest in SbET or BMNR. Any preference between the two? Are you able to compare the premium of market cap to ethereum owned to that old MSTR which hacks been around longer but obviously bitcoin focused

Q: Thoughts on Murphy USA? Do you think the dip after earnings is a buying opportunity for a long-term hold?

Q: Hello,
I know you have answered many questions on this subject but can i get more clarity please? First, are you able to add the symbol BMNR to your list. I chose SBET as you have that in your list. When i look at price of bitcoin for last 5 years, it has gone up alot. However, MicroStrategy's return over the same period is much higher (it holds bitcoin). How could the difference be so diverse. I am wondering if i should go with sbet and bmnr (equal amounts) as opposed to Ethereum etfs.. Please comment and if you feel the etf route is best , what are the elf's you suggest in cdn $ for bitcoin and Ethereum?
