How AI Can Help You Not To Fall To Bull Or Bear Traps In Corona Times

In a bull trap, the market indicates a false signal that is trending up and then goes back to the original trend. The bear trap is the opposite of the bull trap when there is a false trend down just to restore the original trend. All markets are susceptible to suffer from these traps. Asset markets, including equities, futures, bonds, and currencies already have a history of both bear and bull traps. By misunderstanding the situation of the market, it becomes very easy to invest wrong in these situations. 

Since the coronavirus outbreak (now a pandemic), several stocks and indexes around the world suffered a massive hit. Currently there is a recovery occurring, however, there are discussions if we are in a bull trap right now. When we talk about avoiding losses in stock markets during the Coronavirus pandemic, there is no better way to minimize the risks than conducting your decision in a solid analysis. And here is where I Know First excels thanks to its advanced machine learning algorithm. Using the algorithm of I Know First, it is possible not to avoid losses in cases of a bull trap, but also to profit. This algorithm provides forecasts for different time horizons with a very good hit-ratio, indicating that yes, it is possible to profit and avoiding risks at the same time.

FB Stock Forecast: Why You Should Buy Additional Shares of Facebook

The recent approval of a D.C. federal judge of Facebook’s $5 billion fine is a very compelling reason to buy more FB shares. This $5 billion fine will make the greedy people at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission forget about Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica-related privacy violations. Facebook touts a cash hoard of almost $55 billion and an annual net cash flow of $36.31 billion. Paying the $5 billion fine is a cakewalk for Facebook.

A current tailwind that could also boost FB toward my price target of $200 is the launch of Messenger Rooms. This new videoconferencing app is Facebook’s equalizer to Zoom. The vulnerabilities of Zoom’s video conferencing app convinced me that Messenger Rooms can quickly disrupt Zoom’s current popularity. Going forward, Messenger Rooms is a secured video app that complements Facebook WorkPlace. The work-from-home new normal is increasing adoption of WorkPlace.

Since this forecast was posted, FB has already jumped 8% since this bullish forecast was posted on April 27!

AI vs Technical Analysis: Can AI Improve Your Stock Trading Strategies?

Traders are constantly making many decisions at a moments notice. Some decisions involve entry positions, position size and exit point. Extrapolating chart patterns may help us make correct calls. As humans, we are visually inclined. We tend to see things more than we may hear. Looking at diagrams, we can identify patterns and use them to aid in making our decisions. Price patterns often repeat. So technical analysis allows us to make decisions, without being influenced by noise made by other investors and experts. However, there are disadvantages to technical analysis such as human bias, emotions, and identifying correct entry and exit points. 

Machine Learning and different techniques created new systems to spot patterns which the human brain is not capable of. Since finance is quantitative, AI in stock trading is gaining traction. Financial corporations endowed heavily in AI in the past, and they investigate and implement the financial applications of machine learning (ML) and deep learning to their operations. The I Know First Market Prediction System models and predicts the flow of money between the markets. It separates the predictable information from any “random noise”. It then creates a model that projects the future trajectory of the given market in the multidimensional space of other markets. By accessing this information through I Know First’s daily market forecasts, AI can improve your stock trading strategies.

ATVI Stock Forecast: Why You Should Buy More Shares of Activision Blizzard

Activision Blizzard (ATVI) has more upside potential this year. The boom in video games during this global pandemic will help ATVI reach $73 within the next 12 months. Quarantines around the world will force even non-gamers to become one. COVID-19, therefore, is a long-term tailwind for video game companies like Activision Blizzard. ATVI is a golden long-term investment because management is being more aggressive on mobile games. 

The forced stay-at-home quarantining of billions of people around the world is a boon for King Entertainment. You should add or buy more ATVI because there are now more active players of Candy Crush mobile games. The Candy Crush Saga game’s estimated March 2020 net sales were $32 million from iOS and $24 million from Android. Candy Crush Saga’s April combined net sales would reach as high as $62 million due to stay at home orders. The same could also be said for May 2020. ATVI also has other games that will benefit from increased time at home and now is the perfect time to add to your portfolio with earnings being reported on May 5.

Letter from the CEO

Dear Readers, 

Stocks were essentially flat last week. Both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 shed less than 0.3% as first-quarter earnings reports started flooding in. Indexes are lower by over 12% so far in 2020, but have recovered significant lost ground in recent weeks. What about the 7 days forecast of the I Know First predictive algorithm? It was another interesting week with multiple opportunities. Over the last week, I Know First’s dividend package outperformed the major index. Some of the stock picks among this package were QEP, PTEN, PBF and WES, With a return of 131%, 60%, 56% and 39.5% in just 7 days. The same package had high outperformance also in the 30 day time frame led by BKEP, PETS with 83.7% and 48.8%. These weren’t the only phenomenal results the dividend package posted; over 14 days the best dividend stocks led to gains of 51.5% and in just 3 days led to gains up to 83.65% thanks to stocks like QEP. Dividend stocks are companies that pay out regular dividends. Dividend stocks are usually well-established companies with a track record of distributing earnings back to shareholders. You can join to this interesting package right here.

Dividend stocks were not the only successful package of the week! The top 20 and top 10 stock packages has also outperformed in the 14 day, 7 day, and 3 day time frames. Several companies will announce highly anticipated earnings reports over the next few trading days, including Shopify, Walt Disney, Activision Blizzard, PayPal,CVS and TEVA.

Q&A With I Know First
I Know First’s Daily Market Forecasts And How to Interpret the Numbers

Q: What is the top-left symbol?
A: The top-left symbol is the stock ticker for each forecasted stock.

Q: What is the middle-right number? 
A: The middle-right number is the signal. The signal expresses the direction and magnitude the algorithm believes an asset will move. A positive signal denotes a long prediction and a negative signal denotes a short prediction. A strong signal indicates that algorithm believes that the stock will move by a large magnitude. A strong symbol varies by the market being analyzed — the stock market has relatively large signals because it is volatile while the currency market has relatively small signals because it’s movements are less pronounced.

Q: How do I analyze an asset’s signal?
A: When analyzing an asset’s signal it is important to compare its present signal relative to those of other assets in its asset class as well as to its own historical signals. The absolute number of the signal is relevant only in these three contexts:
1. In comparison to the other stocks in the table, and
2. In comparison to the previous signals for the same stock. (See the graphs in the published articles).
3. In relation to the stock price at which each previous signal was issued.

Q. What is the return?
A. The return is the percentage movement of each stock multiplied by 1 if the algorithm suggested a long position or multiplied by negative 1 if the algorithm suggested a short position. In other words if the algorithm correctly predicts the direction of the stock, the return is the positive percentage change of the stock, and if the algorithm incorrectly predicts the direction of the stock, the return is the negative percentage change of the stock. The return is the last end of the day price at the target date of the forecast VS the price when the forecast was sent (the end of the day price of the previous day).
