  • "The Coca-Cola Company is scheduled to announce its second quarter results on July 26, and even though the core performance may remain solid, both the top line and EPS are expected to take a hit due to the refranchising of bottling operations across geographies. This negatively impacted the company's first quarter results as well, when net revenue fell 11% year-over-year, with a 10 percentage point unfavorable impact of the structural changes."
  • "Keeping this trend in mind, Coca-Cola launched ready-to-drink tea lattes and coffees in the first quarter of 2017, under its Gold Peak brand. Gold Peak will join Illy in Coca-Cola’s burgeoning ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee portfolio in the United States. The company also expanded its ready-to-drink tea portfolio in Canada in the second quarter. North America is the fastest growing region for RTD tea and coffee, primarily due to increased health concerns around sweetened carbonated beverages. Other factors driving this growth include rising disposable income, urbanization, and the functional nature of these beverages. By expanding into this market, Coca-Cola can reduce its dependence on CSDs and find new engines for growth as that market slows."


 

Hey I am a complete newbie looking for help.  Decent Forex technical trader but just getting into the programming and systems side.  I am wondering is there a certain broker that allows you to use MT4 or MT5 to trade stocks?  So far I can only find CFD and Forex broker using this platform.  I am in Canada.

  • "Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) has been facing somewhat of a “context collapse,” as many users have been less willing to share data and personal content in the face of increasing advocacy for privacy. This could potentially erode the company’s ability to serve targeted ads due to a decline in available user data, which would negatively impact revenue growth."
  • "At the same time, users are sharing more news links and videos with their peers. Last year, Facebook streamlined the sharing of news links and introduced live video streaming services to its platform. More recently, the company has introduced popular features such as Stories to its platform and also extended its video offering across its platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Whatsapp). Below we explore the strategy Facebook is following to ensure sustained growth in the future."

Facebook vs. Alibaba = bullish breakout (based on the article)



  • "On Facebook my nose is clear. No fishy smell here and in Alibaba. Actually, after 50 years ciphering, I’ve rarely encountered such high voltage momentum. Maybe Syntex, Polaroid and Xerox in their primacy, but it didn’t hold and they morphed into also-rans, discards and even moribund in Polaroid’s case. The life of a growth stock stands 5 years, rarely 10. Alphabet is a 10 and counting."
  • "Alibaba’s a different business, but comparable meteoric metrics. It’s e-commerce footprint is enormous, some 575 million active customers, still expanding, currently at a 4% sequential rate. This pivotal metric denotes viability of BABA’s franchise. What more could you want?"
  • "So… we’ve got BABA and Facebook pretty much as the same stock in terms of valuation, earnings growth, EBITDA multipliers, employee compensation, research and development spend. You name your own pet metric, it doesn’t change the basic conclusion."

Nvidia Is Still A Better Buy (based on the article)

Shares price is on bullish breakout since the August 2015: the price is breaking resistance level at 218.64 to above for the bullish trend to be continuing.


  • "Nvidia’s stock is still a better buy than AMD, though its stock is up 140% over the last twelve months compared to 32% of AMD. There are a couple of reasons for that. One of them is that Nvidia’s operation margins continue to swell to 31.46%, up from 29.90% six months ago. Meanwhile, AMD’s operating margins continue to be in negative territory, hovering in the 6.50-8.00% range—see table. Another reason is revenue growth. Nvidia’s revenues grew 56.0% in the most recent quarter, while AMD’s by 19%."
  • "While past performance isn’t a guarantee for future performance, as the old Wall Street proverb goes, being smart is what makes the difference between winning and losing technology companies in the long-term."

Alibaba - daily ranging bullish; 191.53 is the key (based on the article)

  • 191.53 resistance located in the beginning of the bullish trend to be resumed, and
  • 176.69 support level located in the beginning of the daily bearish reversal to be started.

Ascending triangle pattern was formed for the price to be crossed to above for the bullish trend continuation.


  • "Hong Kong-listed Tencent, famous for its games and WeChat messaging service, became the first Asian firm to break into the US$500 billion league last week - briefly overtaking Facebook as the world’s fifth biggest company by market value."
  • "Alibaba is just a few billion shy of joining its Chinese competitor at the top table of public listings - and is already there when taking into account its private affiliates. While the top five - Apple, Google’s parent company Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook - thrive across the world, the two Chinese firms have made their fortunes by cornering China’s own vast market of 750 million Internet users."
  • "Tencent and Alibaba do have a major advantage over American rivals because China severely restricts access to its Internet, with Facebook and Google kept outside the "Great Firewall." Alibaba, meanwhile, has dominated the e-commerce market, with Chinese consumers flocking to its shopping platforms to buy everything from laundry detergent to Boeing 747s."

FTSE 100 predictions for 2018

pari20777, 2018.01.04 09:00

As we start the new year, global stock markets are at record highs. The FTSE 100 is no exception, although it has lagged behind other major markets this year, it ended 2017 at a high of 7,687.77.

 

To an important extent, global stock markets are interlinked, therefore the fate of markets beyond your UK could have a meaningful influence on the direction of UK-listed shares. Despite of the difficult political environment this season, stock markets have already been strong due to the improving fortunes of the global economy.

 

For the first time since the financial crisis of 2008, all major economies in the world are growing at the same time. Looking to 2018, the outlook for the global economy and corporate earnings remains positive, so it is reasonable to anticipate that markets should continue to prosper. 

The fall in the currency after the EU referendum boosted the share prices of the many international companies listed on the FTSE 100 during the latter half of 2016. In 2017 the pound continued to weaken against a resurgent euro but strengthened against the US dollar. This latter move has dampened the share prices of the big dollar earners which are listed in London on the course with this year.

If the market is progressing well, then the pound could rise further, which could limit the rise of the FTSE 100 because of the dominance in the index of overseas earners. In this condition, even if global markets continue to rally, the UK market might underperform its peers and struggle to get to 8,000. 

 

By contrast, a poor negotiation with our EU colleagues could put the pound under downward pressure again, which would boost the share prices of many of the leading companies as it did in 2016. It is ironic, so, it could really good for the FTSE 100. FTSE will go above 8,000 in 2018. It will increase dramatically as negotiations with Europe continue down an incredibly fractious route.

Shares on the daily chart is on bullish breakout: the price broke Ichimoku cloud to above to be reversed to the primary bullish market condition with 25.84 resistance level to be testing for the bullish trend to be continuing.


  • "Greenlight Capital Re’s David Einhorn lamented a bum year in his shareholder letter for 2017 with an investing loss of 1.6% net of fees. He also announced the new lineup of stocks he selected during the fourth quarter: Twitter, Ensco and Time Warner."
  • "First, Einhorn surprised investors by taking a long position in Twitter. As he acknowledged in the letter, he has been betting that certain stocks in the tech space will fail. These stocks, which he collectively calls the “bubble basket,” include Amazon, Netflix and Tesla."
  • "Shares of social media site Twitter, which gives users 280 characters to express their thoughts and share news stories, shed more than a third of their market value since their January 2015 initial public offering, allowing Einhorn to nab them for a mere $21.59 each."

Stock Market Forecast For Jan 22-26 (based on the article)


  • "Continued moderate bullish price action in the US majors with the VIX dropping right on queue and markets popping (pure sentiment call).  Gold and Silver pushed higher today while Oil contracted.  The NQ is still pushing into the range of our upper boundary with moderate bullish price action.  The The DOW closed +53.91 (+0.21%), the ES closed +14.50 (+0.52%) and the NQ closed 32.50 (+0.47%).  Gold closed +4.80 (+0.35%) and Silver closed +0.086 (+0.54%).  Oil closed -0.45 (-0.70%)."
  • "We are expecting Metals and Oil rotate a bit lower over the next few weeks in relation to our price cycle analysis.  Gold should rotate back below $1300 and Silver should settle near $16.00 before this downward rotation ends.  Oil may rotate moderately lower over the next few weeks, but overall price cycle analysis shows consolidation and sideways trending for a few more days.  Be prepared."
  • "Bitcoin reacted by consolidating within the Price Channels we have been discussing.  These channels are currently at $11,000 & $11,130.  Within this $130 range, we expect Bitcoin will consolidate before attempting a breakout move.  At this point, upside rotation is possible, but the news relating to BlockChain and Bitcoin tend to point to a lower price breakout.  Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $11,515.00.  Be prepared for additional downside risk at this point.  $7,800 is now a very real downside target."
