After a Slumber, Tech Regains Strength

[] [View in browser]( [View in browser]( [] NOV 09, 2023 [] [] SCOTT WELSH’S TICKER TALES SAP on the Verge of Something Big August and September were not good for stocks. And those months really weren’t good for tech. As we’ve mentioned, the Magnificent 7 took a beating when autumn started, and so did other tech-ish companies. However, that has changed recently. Tech and software has suddenly rebounded, and an example of that is SAP. It’s in one of the top 40 best-performing sectors (out of 197), and it’s moving. [] September was bad for SAP (no surprise), but it has bounced off of our 30-week simple moving average and appears to be sprinting toward a new high, just like MSFT (which we talked about in our last post). If it moves above $145.10, we could see a new high and possibly much more. We’ll keep it on our radar. — Scott Welsh P.S. As a reminder, these plays are based on my longer-term Weinstein Stage Analysis method. The charts above use weekly candles and a 30 week simple moving average.

[] [] GRAHAM LINDMAN’S MARKET TALK A Tech Titan's Journey to Trillion-Dollar Triumph In the high-stakes world of technology, Apple stands as a colossus, towering over its competitors with a staggering market capitalization of $2.84 trillion. That’s a staggering $2,840,000,000,000! To put this in perspective, imagine every single share of Apple stock, then multiply that by its share price. The result? A figure that eclipses the GDP of many countries. Trailing behind, by a pretty significant $149,000,000,000 margin, is Microsoft, clocking in at $2.685 trillion. But in the grand scheme of things, what's a few billion between friends? And when I say friends, I mean it. See, there’s a hidden connection between these two companies that not many people know about. Despite being fierce competitors, Apple and Microsoft share a rich, intertwined history. It's a tale of rivalry and camaraderie, brilliantly depicted in the movie "Pirates of Silicon Valley." These companies didn't just grow up alongside each other — they evolved together, shaping the tech landscape as we know it. If we go back to the late 1990s, we’ll find Apple — once a hot startup and a beacon of innovation — on the brink of bankruptcy. The company, having ousted Steve Jobs and cycled through a series of unsuccessful CEOs, was in dire straits. In a twist of fate, Apple turned to Microsoft for a lifeline. This wasn't merely a bailout; it was a strategic investment. Microsoft not only infused cash into Apple but also committed to supporting the Mac ecosystem by releasing its flagship software, Microsoft Word, for Mac computers. Fast forward a few years, and the tables turned dramatically. With Steve Jobs back at the helm, Apple embarked on an unprecedented run of success. The launch of the iMac, iPod, and the revolutionary iPhone reshaped the tech industry. At one point — not too long ago — Apple’s iPhone division alone was worth more than the entirety of Microsoft! A testament to Apple's relentless drive for innovation. [] This same spirit of innovation is precisely why I never bet against Apple. The company's journey from near bankruptcy to becoming the first to reach both $1 trillion and $3 trillion in market capitalization is nothing short of extraordinary. Apple's DNA is infused with an uncanny ability to anticipate consumer desires, often before consumers themselves realize what they want. It's this foresight and innovation that have led me to make a bold move: I'm placing a massive $100,000 real-money trade with my own funds on Apple. I want to share with you the rationale behind this decision and how you can be part of this exciting opportunity. I've recorded [this special video]( explaining my strategy and how you can get involved. I look forward to riding the Apple wave — and I hope you can see the same massive opportunity that I do. — Graham Lindman [] [] [] ___________________________________________________ [] [] NOV 09, 2023 [] [] SCOTT WELSH’S TICKER TALES SAP on the Verge of Something Big August and September were not good for stocks.
