Pure Storage

Subsequent purchase of Pure Storage $PSTG (+0.77%)

This week I am adding another 50 shares to my portfolio. If the forecasts are correct, the company will grow into its high valuation in the coming years.

The positive newsflow such as

Pure Storage announces strategic investment and technology partnership with CoreWeave to accelerate innovation in AI cloud services at scale

Or

Pure Storage simplifies cloud migrations for enterprise-scale VMware environments on Microsoft Azure

speaks for the positive development.

It remains exciting 💲😎🤞🏼

$PSTG (+0.77%) Position further expanded.

Objective: To participate in the switch to advanced data storage.

HDDs are currently still widely used.

SSDs are faster and more energy-efficient - and prices are slowly falling below those of HDDs.

Pure Storage supplies the SSD.

If the "legacy" hardware lasts longer, that would probably be the biggest risk.

But will this happen with the new data hunger caused by AI? We will see.

Purchase no. 6 for this October

Pure Storage $PSTG (+0.77%) is my go-to for data storage.

New addition to the depot: $PSTG (+0.77%)

And additionally purchased:

$EVO (+2.4%) (position full for now)

$BTC (+1.25%) (unfortunately not yet 1 full)

Red prices are a starting signal. The first tranche goes in. I had built up cash for this scenario, even though I have to admit that 2 weeks ago I almost got impatient and wanted to liquidate the first part.

Unfortunately, I was only able to submit my transactions after work and wasn't able to take much of the rebound with me.

I used to look at the charts and think: "If you'd got in X months ago, the share would have hit a real low."

But when lows come, everyone cringes and stands on the sidelines...

For me, the golden question is the rule of thumb: Will the company be in a better position in 10 years' time than it is today? If so, you can start going in.

And for those who are interested in my new addition Pure Storage (I don't think there will be many, because it's a tech stock and not NVIDIA) in a nutshell:

They make very efficient storage solutions for data centers. They are currently still running with old hard disks, expensive and slower. The transition to modern technology is slowly beginning, and Pure Storage offers a complete solution.

My shovel manufacturer, which is supposed to take the money from the hyperscalers.

Hi Guys,

once again something to brainstorm about. Some people probably find it difficult to make decisions about various share purchases. Maybe sometimes it's not so important when you buy a stock that you find interesting, but when you don't buy it, when not to buy it. Quasi rational hedging of Fomo purchases. Assuming that there is always a growth and investment thesis and factoring out a few bankruptcies, I make the following 2 assertions. There will definitely be pros and cons here:

Assertion 1:

The 200 DMA is the approximate fair value of a stock. It acts like a magnet, stocks that run far above or below it tend to return to the line sooner or later. (shown in the screenshot in gold)

A share that is well above the 200 level becomes unattractive to buy (although you could continue to hold it). (You could still hold it, however, but a "hold" is not included here). The assertion would thus encourage hasty purchases of e.g. $CMG (+4.01%)
$DECK (+6.48%)
$UBER (+3.37%)
$PSTG (+0.77%)
$CRWD (+4.74%)
$AMD (+1.27%)
$AXON (+0.79%) that are on my watchlist. What would I do in the case of Chipotle? I would wait until the stock returns to the 200 DMA.

Assertion 2:

Good times to buy are ALWAYS when the Weekly RSI is below 55 (preferably even below 50) and at the same time still below the average line (marked red in the screenshot)

You almost never hit the low when buying anyway. Nevertheless, you would buy your desired stocks close to the lows with a clear conscience and follow a clear line.

Now one or two people might say "but that's obvious". Then I say, it's not that clear. You only have to look at the Getquin timeline. Stocks with an RSI above 60 or 70 and well above the 200s are regularly requested here and considered good buys.

What do you think?

Does anyone act similarly?

Are the claims bullshit?

03.07.2024 +++ Tesla no longer growing so strongly +++ Moderna to develop new vaccine +++ Eli Lilly receives approval for Alzheimer's drug +++ Purchasing Managers' Index in DE, IT, FR and UK today +++

$TSLA (+4.29%) Tesla's vehicle sales fell again in the second quarter in the face of increasing competition. The company reported sales of 443,956 vehicles worldwide, a decrease of 4.8 percent compared to the same quarter last year. According to Factset, analysts had expected Tesla to deliver only 436,000 units. The US company is no longer growing as fast as in previous years, which underlines the challenges facing the entire industry. Other carmakers have launched dozens of new electric models, but demand has fallen short of initial expectations - despite falling prices and a series of low-interest and leasing offers. CEO Elon Musk is facing his biggest test in years. The Tesla founder wants to spend more money on developing new and more affordable models, while also investing in costly new technologies amid a slowing market for electric cars.

The pharmaceutical manufacturer Moderna $MRNA (+8.19%) is to develop an mRNA-based vaccine against avian flu for humans. The company has announced that it has been awarded 176 million US dollars by the government. The contract follows an unprecedented outbreak of avian flu in US livestock. So far, 137 dairy herds in a dozen states are known to be infected. Only three known cases of human infection with the H5N1 virus have been reported in the US since the outbreak. However, the authorities are monitoring the situation very closely. Scientists fear a potential pandemic threat. The US government, in collaboration with GSK, Sanofi and CSL Sequirus, has developed its own vaccines that could be used in the event of an H5N1 outbreak. However, production capacity is limited. Moderna is developing a pandemic influenza vaccine candidate called mRNA-1018 and began trials last year. Initial results are expected this year.

Eli Lilly $LLY (+0.49%) has received US approval for its Alzheimer's drug Kisunla, which will accelerate change in the treatment of this dementia. Kisunla is administered monthly and costs about $12,522 for six months of treatment, $32,000 for 12 months and $48,696 for 18 months. Some patients diagnosed with the disease have taken a pill to alleviate their symptoms. Others ended up in institutions that took care of them once they could no longer look after themselves. With the launch of drugs like Eli Lilly's Kisunla, Alzheimer's treatment promises to slow cognitive decline, albeit modestly.
