NU Holdings OutlookNU price has left the high volatility range and dropped by over 11% today. The chart suggests that the first Elliott Wave A-B-C correction structure might be near completion with this five-wave downward move. Prices are reaching quite attractive levels again, prompting me to consider re-establishing a position, as the first clear correction pattern appears to be finishied soon. There's a possibility that the entire correction could be complete. However, my main scenario anticipates that the chart will develop into a more complex correction pattern over the next few months, not finishing with this simple A-B-C structure. There's still a chance that if the correction lasts longer, these prices could represent the lowest we'll see. My primary target remains the 50% Fibonacci level at $9.25.

24/12/13 Tesla 427 USD - volcano erupted Tesla actually as an high flyer. Since end of october, the value has been doubled. Are there any fundamental reasons, to substantiate such a move? 100% for sure not. Why? Musk will launch next year another cheaper car. This may help to keep the piece of the market, but not to increase very higher sales in total. 2024 tesla sold end of Q3 not more cars than in 2023. last quarter .- we will see. But chinese Market is blocked by there own. See, in what a velocity china creates new companies in EV. They do it in the same way how they did it with PV Moduls. Musk also will push the robotaxi. But he has neither a requires functionality nor a permission for such vehicles. And dont forget, amazon and google have already such cars driving. Google with her daughter with 50000 bookings per week, which will generate a lot of datas, Tesla does not have. And lot of important Tesla people in this technology leaved the company this year. But overall: the US taxi market revenue per year is roundabout 22 B USD. Maybe 10% net earnings. Even with driverless vehicles the net earings are 30%, maximal net earnings for Tesla will be in 3-4 years maybe 70 Million USD, 10 years maybe 800 Million USD (USA, europe). Discount it with 4% and you will see … If this robotaxi are good enough, not to buy an own car… we will see. Every man liked his own car. And if not, this business model will cannibalize the own business. So - Tesla is fundamental overrated. Technical side see chart. Maybe actually prices are driven by short covering (remember Volkswagen and Mr. Merckly was driven in suicide). So, prices now on upper bollinger boundary. Prices extrem above SMA 40 Weeks, which was a sign for sharp correction. And - I guess, some Short Sellers are coming onto to the floor. But - richest man in the world is naturally at any time aible, to buy for private, for several billions. That means: Hedge funds as short sellers must have min. 10-20 B USD to fight or covered.

NVDIA: Eyes on the long term picture. $400 by end 2025.NVDIA is bearish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 40.887, MACD = -1.990, ADX = 34.084) but still neutral on 1W (RSI = 54.240), which outlines a strong long-term buy opportunity on this temporary medium-term weakness. The current situation is best viewed on the 1W timeframe where NVDIA has been experiencing since the June High a pause to its bullish trend as the price action turned sideways. This is a situation that the stock is familiar with as it has happened on every Cycle in the last 10 years. The two past Cycles you can see on the chart had the same mid-way sideways consolidation, while at the same time the 1W RSI formed a Channel Down. In both cases the 1W MA50 supported, as it has now. With that trendline holding, NVDIA was able to resume the bullish trend to the 3.5 Fibonacci extension from the consolidation Rectangle. That Fib is now at $400 and that is technically this Cycle's target towards the end of 2025. ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

LGIH - Long - Rate Cut - Falling Wedge, Double Bottom The FED just cut rates for the third time in 2024 and sees the possiblity of two more cuts next year. LGI Homes has a strong management team, a great business model and a record of profitability in the toughest market conditions. They've grown significantly since 2003, to become one of the top home builders in the country. Throughout 2024, many shareholders increased their position in the company and the recent optimism about the economy should positively affect their share price. Long throughout 2025.. TP1 $136 TP2 $140 SP $84 Let's see if the recent rate cut from the FED turns this Falling Wedge around. A drop below $84 could continue 10 to 15% more. This is not investment advice. Talk with your financial manager about investing. Why LGI Homes (LGIH) is a Smart Investment in the Homebuilding Sector With rising interest rates, inflation, and an economy that is sluggish in some areas, and doing well in others, homebuilder stocks may not seem like a wise long-term investment. However, inflation is decreasing, and there’s a very good chance we will see a third rate cut today from the Fed LGI Homes is positioned well for a struggling economy, an economy much worse than the one we face today. After all, according to a recent Fortune/Deloitte survey, 84% of CEOs are optimistic about the next 12-months . It feels like every day Americans are too. LGI has a portfolio of affordable homes, experienced management, and a proven track record of remaining profitable when many competitors are losing money. LGI Homes (NASDAQ: LGIH) sticks out as a solid bet in our current climate. One of the safest investment opportunities in the homebuilding sector, particularly for investors that like to bet on companies with invested executives and a deep portfolio of products with a mass market. catering to first-time homebuyers in the nation's most popular construction markets. Based on the information provided and recent market developments, let’s analyze the investment potential of LGI Homes. Company Strengths LGI Homes has been a leader in affordable housing for over , focusing on first-time buyers in a market where affordability is key. The company’s strengths extend beyond their business model of building move-in-ready homes for first-time homebuyers. They’re focused on processes and procedures that ensure efficient operations. Market Positioning LGI Homes has carved out a strong position as one of the top homebuilders in the U.S., focusing on entry-level homes for first-time buyers. This is particularly important in today’s economic environment, where most potential homeowners are concerned about affordability. By targeting this growing market segment, the company ensures a steady demand for its products, helping the company remain competitive. Resilience LGI Homes’ ability to stay profitable during the 2008-2009 financial crisis is a testament to its executive team, processes, and market strategy. While many builders faced huge losses or went out of business entirely, LGI Homes remained profitable. This ability to adapt and perform well during tough times speaks volumes about the company’s long-term strength. Operational Efficiency LGI Homes only builds move-in-ready homes, allowing the company to build quickly without sacrificing quality and better manage standing inventory. The company maintains strong operational practices that support high margins, such as utilizing a paperless paper order system and master build schedule to improve efficiency. They have also maintained long-term relationships with subcontractors, often working with the same partners since 2003, leading to consistent quality and reduced warranty costs. Financial Conservatism A key part of LGI Homes’ success has been its cautious approach to finances. By focusing on stability and minimizing risk, the company quickly became one of the nation’s top homebuilders. This conservative financial strategy offers security to investors, even in uncertain economic times, and positions the company well to weather market fluctuations. Employee Satisfaction LGI Homes stands out in the industry for its strong company culture and investments in employee training and growth. This year they were recognized for the fourth consecutive year as a great place to work and recieved another Top Workplace USA award from Energage. The company was also placed on Newsweek’s list of the World’s Most Trustworthy Companies in 2023 and 2024. This recognition is a sign of high employee satisfaction, which often leads to higher productivity and lower turnover. Recent Developments In recent news, Basswood Capital Management LLC increased its stake in LGI Homes by acquiring over 26,000 shares, valued at around $3.1 million and many other large investors increased their holdings throughout the year. These moves reflect confidence from institutional investors in the company’s future. When large investors make such moves, it often signals strong expectations for the company’s growth. Strategic Management LGI Homes’ success isn’t just about building houses; it’s about building a stable, sustainable business. The company’s approach to both financial and operational efficiency has allowed it to thrive regardless of the economy. Below you’ll see, this combination of discipline and adaptability makes LGI Homes stand out in the homebuilding industry and with investors. Consistent Profitability Since it started building homes in 2003, LGI Homes has maintained consistent profitability, even during the great recession. This track record speaks to the company’s disciplined financial management and its ability to navigate challenging economic conditions with stability. Strong Balance Sheet The company keeps a conservative capital structure, which provides them with flexibility and financial stability. As of September 30, 2024, the company had a total liquidity of $375.4 million, including $60.9 million in cash and a $314.5 million revolving credit facility. Their relatively low debt-to-capitalization ratio of 42.7% reflects the company’s careful management of debt. Move-in-ready Homes/Spec Homes LGI Homes focuses on building homes that are move-in-ready, allowing them to better manage costs and inventory. This approach gives the company more control over the construction process. By offering spec homes, LGI can provide a smoother, more predictable experience for buyers, while also ensuring they’re able to deliver quality homes without the delays or unexpected costs that can come with other building models. Insider Confidence The company’s executives have a significant financial stake in the company, indicating their confidence in its future. When insiders have a large personal investment, it aligns their interests with those of shareholders, showing they’re committed to driving long-term success. High Gross Margins LGI Homes has managed to maintain impressive gross margins, even when market conditions have been challenging. The company’s approach focuses on profitability over sheer volume, balancing smart pricing strategies with thoughtful growth and land acquisition. This combination has helped them remain strong in terms of margins, year after year. Here’s a closer look at the key factors behind their success: Disciplined Pricing and Incentive Approach LGI Homes prioritizes maximizing profitability on every home they sell rather than pursuing a higher volume of homes at the expense of margins. They do this by implementing a “pace versus price” strategy, which involves avoiding broad price cuts, using targeted incentives and marketing efforts, and maintaining discipline in pricing decisions. This approach allowed the company to achieve an adjusted gross margin of 27.2% in Q3 2024, aligning with their pre-pandemic performance. Community Growth and Selection While LGI Homes prioritizes profitability, growth is also an important part of its business model. Increasing their community count by 30% year-over-year, they have grown to 138 communities in Q3 of 2024, allowing for economies of scale. Furthermore, LGI Homes strategically selects and develops communities to support their margin growth, focusing on opening more self-developed, higher-margin communities. Efficient Land Acquisition and Development LGI Homes is also known for its smart land acquisition strategy. The company often develops land on its own, capturing profits from both land development and homebuilding. This not only helps them maintain control over costs but also boosts their gross margins. By implementing these strategies, LGI Homes has consistently delivered strong gross margins, with their Q3 2024 adjusted gross margin of 27.2% exceeding their full-year guidance and aligning with pre-pandemic levels. This performance underscores the effectiveness of their approach in maintaining profitability even in challenging market conditions. Withstanding Market Challenges The housing market today is facing several challenges, including rising home prices and shifting interest rates, which makes affordability a critical issue. LGI Homes is in a strong position to tackle these challenges. Their focus on entry-level, turnkey homes puts them in a position to benefit from first-time homebuyer tax programs passed by Congress or offered through states and cities. They can build more homes if the government decides to stimulate housing to address the shortage of homes and reduce inventory if the market fluctuates. Adapting to Market Conditions Even though LGI Homes takes a conservative approach, they’ve shown an ability to adapt when needed. For example, they’ve offered lower fixed rate mortgages and lowered home prices to offset rising costs and keep their inventory of finished homes low. Commitment to Affordable Housing With home prices climbing and interest rates fluctuating, affordability is a major hurdle for many buyers. LGI Homes’ focus on affordable, entry-level homes for first-time buyers puts them in an ideal spot to respond to these challenges. Their specialization in affordable housing ensures they will continue to attract a steady stream of homebuyers, even in uncertain times. Diversifying Market Reach LGI Homes has also broadened its offerings by adding not just more entry-level homes, but also active-adult and move-up homes under their Terrata Homes brand. This gives them access to a wider range of buyers, from first-time homeowners to empty nesters or people looking to upgrade. By expanding their product line, and sticking with building turnkey homes, LGI is positioned to weather economic ups and downs, ensuring they’re not overly reliant on any one market segment. Ability to Meet Increased Demand If a first-time homebuyer tax credit were introduced, or interest rates continue decreasing, LGI would benefit from a surge in demand. While many competitors may struggle to keep up with increased demand, LGI has efficient construction processes and procedures that make it possible for them to quickly adapt. Investment Considerations With its strong market position, operational efficiency, and potential to benefit from market trends or (state and federal) government programs, LGI Homes is an attractive investment for anyone looking to gain exposure in the homebuilding sector. Like any investment, there are risks to consider, such as the impact of broader economic conditions, interest rates, and potential policy changes that affect the housing market. That said, Freddie Mac estimates that we’re nearly 4 million homes short of meeting demand. Conclusion Having LGI Homes as part of an investment portfolio could prove to be a prudent financial decision for investors looking for stability and growth. The company’s strong financials, its focus on affordable and move-in-ready housing, and its ability to adapt to market changes make it well-equipped to thrive, even in tough conditions. With a track record of consistent profitability and solid strategies in place to navigate an unpredictable market, LGI Homes offers a reliable option for investors interested in the affordable housing space. While it’s important for potential investors to do their homework and know their personal risk tolerance, LGI Homes is certainly a company worth considering an investment in.
