The metaverse may seem like a completely new and distant idea. But it’s the same as the internet in the 1970s. Still in its early stages, with lots of hype and over expectations. In these environments, it can become hard to differentiate between reality and nonsense. With the metaverse, it’s the same. Nobody knows what the world would look like within the metaverse. However, concerning investment opportunities, there is still a new light at the end of the tunnel. If you don’t know what the metaverse is, it’s quite simple. Replace the metaverse with cyberspace, and really that’s it. If you do that nighty per cent of the time, the meaning will not change. That’s because, unlike the internet, the metaverse does not point to one specific type of technology, but rather a change in how we interact with technology. Think of the metaverse as a virtual world where you can interact with people from across the globe. Kind of like the internet, but more immersive for the user.
The technologies that will make up the metaverse already somewhat exist – virtual reality. The other technologies would likely include augmented reality and brain-computer interfaces. These three themselves could be seen as the next computer platforms. Brain-computer interfaces in my opinion are a long way off. They are about replacing screens and physical hardware. They would work by linking your brain to the internet. In an essence, the metaverse is a digital world, leading to an escape from reality. One could say such things already exist, such as Fortnite and World of Warcraft and other platforms but, in my opinion, this only touches the tip of the iceberg of what could be our future. In my opinion, it's not a future I would like to live in. Too many people already spend more time on their phones than in real life.

There has been a looming problem in the markets for the last couple of years now. The problem is simple. The market cap of the five largest companies in the S&P 500 accounts for more than 20%. Not only that but the Fed has been propping up the markets wrongfully.
I saw a meme on Reddit where it was a building about to collapse and was being held up by wooden frames. The wooden frames represented companies like Apple and other FAANG stocks. While the building was the stock market. I suppose this is a good thing but at the same time, it causes a major issue. If these stocks fail, then the whole market goes down. What this shows is that the market is being propped up by the technology firms, while other stocks are lagging. There are two causes to this. Technologies firms are being bought in the extremes and the Fed has been pumping money into the stock market to keep it propped up. In this report, I will analyse both causes and draw up their effects and what investors can do to protect themselves in the event of a crash. 11/8/2021 0 Comments McAfee Corp. Special Dividend IDeaA week ago, I saw some news that McAfee Corp. would be giving a special dividend of $4.50 and from that news sprang this idea. Company Introduction: McAfee Corp. is a cybersecurity software company headquartered in San Jose, USA. The company provides antivirus, cloud, and endpoint security solutions to consumers, enterprises, and governments. The company has a long history - but to keep it short. In 2011 it was bought by Intel for $7.7 billion. In 2017, McAfee officially spun out of Intel and became a standalone security player again. The new owners with a majority stake at 51% share are private equity firm TPG Capital. Another PE firm, Thomas Bravo, has also joined as a minority investor through an agreement with TPG. Intel was still there with a 49% share. This valued the company at $4.2 billion. Then in October 2020, McAfee went public again. 6/8/2018 0 Comments Starbucks two-way tradeSBUX has previously shown many trading patterns such as head and shoulders and flags. Currently, the stock is in an upward flag, but also on the middle of two Fibonacci levels. The blue line represents short-term resistance if the stock breaks that I believe it will stay in this Fibonacci level with enough time to hold until the next resistance line. This upward pressure is also backed by the RSI breaking out of a flap pattern and going bullish. However, if the stock breaks the flap pattern downwards then it may be stronger as the Coppock curve has also reached its resistance, so hence I put a short order in until the next support line. Also, the 50 SMA could potentially act as upper resistance, hence why I have cut my take-profit lower.
26/2/2018 0 Comments Hammer Candlestick tradeSSl recently has been recovering from a market correction. However, even tho the Coppock curve and the ADX are saying this could be a buy, I see a hammer candlestick forming. This shows that the prior trend could be changing. So, I put a short position below the 50 MA. Also, volume seems to be decreasing.
