Another AI Cybersecurity stock INTZ beaten down by Covid now getting AI buzz - A true Manny PUNT i.e. Mega Pump and Covid Dump setting new recent lows.

This Texas pig with way too much lipstick pumped to $161.00 way back on Mon25Sept 1995 then Dumped then Pumped again to a lower high of 107.75 March 2000 and dumped and was dog flat below a buck (Below $1 USD) from 2006 to 2013.

Pumped again to 29.90 Mon 15 March 2021, Mon 25 April 2022 Dumped again to $1.74.

Back to a High of 5.77 Mon 10 Oct 2022 to last weeks weekly low of $0.60

Will it retest the lows of 28 to 30 cents USD in 2018 - Possible which is why I only purchased 100 at 67 cents on the news of an AI Pump and rumors of new management upgrading their Shield Product with advanced AI which is sorely needed in the new Global Cyber Hacking and Chinese CCP concepts of Unrestricted Warfare being a number of highly effective alternatives to direct Kinetic Warfare including Biowar (Fauci Gain of Function Covid19 from the Wuhan Lab), Cyberwarfare, Economic Warfare (Collapse of US and Global Economy due to overreaction to Covid with Draconian lockdowns), Narco-warfare flooding the world with Deadly street drugs Meth, Fentanyl, Carfentanyl, Krokodil and blaming it on Chinese Tangs Organized Crime who are doing the CCPs bidding and of course Political Warfare via Elite Capture of Treasonous Foreign Leaders like the Biden Crime Family in USA, Mitch McConnel GOP Senate Lead et.al.

Advanced AI Cybersecurity is sorely needed in the Marketplace hopefully with INTZ stock this dirt cheap now they can entice some of Israel's and Russia's and China's best Cyber Security AI Software Engineers with big options packages if not use AI Expert Coding Systems to get the well branded Shield etc products back up to at least Par to improve Customer buy-in as decent AI Intrusion Detection and Prevention if not Full Stack Cyber Security suite.

Which is why I gambled $67 to keep this pig with lipstick on my radar to see if the Board can do an extreme makeover on this delirious Covid Crashed old Pumping Dumper.  A pump back to the 15Mar2021 high of only $29.90 divided by $0.67 = a 45 Bagger. 

Better than the small 1.6 Bagger on so far on Rolls Canardly - Rolls down one Fib Wave but Canardly get up the next. (In fairness RR US:RYCEY is a long term Earnings improvement play possible 10, 20, 50 X bagger in 5 years).

Rolls RYCEY pulled back to $2.58 last week and then WHAM:

UBS Boosts Rolls-Royce PT, Affirms Buy Rating
Aug 24, 202307:51 EDT
UBS on Thursday increased the price target on Rolls-Royce (RR.L) to 3.50 pounds sterling from 2.00 pounds, while keeping its buy rating.

11:00 AM NYC Quote Today RR (US: RYCEY ADRS) $2.63 +0.05
Current value of 3.50 GBP in Biden Bux is $ 4.41 USD,  I smell some strong Victory Cigar $$$ incoming.

The aerospace and engineering company was up more than 2% in Thursday's afternoon trade.

(MT Newswires covers equity, commodity and economic research from major banks and research firms in North America, Asia and Europe.

NOTES: Reports are that Rolls Royce will cruise on the wave of post-covid Global Business and Vacation Air Travel.

Even Russia booming with abandoned Boeing and Airbus Aircraft due to the RU-UA conflict sanctions now being operated by Domestic RU Airlines with maint in non-sanctioned friendly countries like Ustan and Kstan etc.  Russians flooding into Turkey, Egypt, Thaistan etc etc. for summer vacations.

UA tourism is mostly UA refugees by rail to the EU with reports in US Alt media that Poland and Germany and the EU suffering both UA War AND North Africa Cultural Enrichment fatigue and not happy that they are paying quadruple Energy prices, huge food inflation, high unemployment while having to host UA Ladies and Kids and increasingly UA Men whose families could afford the $2,500 to $15,000 bribes to corrupt UA Recruitment officers so they are not transformed into Pink Mist and Rotting Meat on the insane frontal attacks on superior Russian Defensive lines.

Though there are reports of Mine Maps to the Odessa beaches being handed out to UA folks looking for a little summer Beach Reprieve from the war amidst the Russian Shipping embargo.

Generative AI Solutions Outlines MOU to Sell 85 Million AI Compute Hours Over Next 5 Years
Aug 25, 202312:58 EDT
Generative AI Solutions Corp.
AICO
 on Friday said it has entered into a memorandum of understanding that is expected to result in the addition of approximately 17 million hours per year of AI compute time resources to be sold as services to an arm's length third party resulting in the sale of approximately 85 million AI compute hours over the next five years.

The company in July said that its MAI Cloud Solutions Inc. subsidiary had entered into a purchase agreement with an arm's length third-party customer headquartered in Silicon Valley, pursuant to which MAI Cloud agreed to provide the customer with access to approximately 350,000 hours per year of AI compute services using H100 graphics processing units for a period of up to seven years.

As consideration for services, the customer agreed to pay MAI Cloud a fee of approximately $70,000 per month. If the terms of agreement are completed for the full term, MAI Cloud is expected to receive about $6 million in revenue at a gross margin of approximately $3.5 million.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreement, the customer agreed to pay 10% of the first year's revenue within 14 days of the equipment being made available for use by the Customer, which is anticipated to be within the next 30 to 45 days

Additionally, Generative AI said it has now entered into the MOU with the customer dated Aug. 24 pursuant to which the customer has agreed to negotiate commercially reasonable terms to increase the AI compute time supplied by the company through the provision of about 2,000 GPUs, which has the potential to provide about 17 million hours of AI compute time per annum.

Per the MOU, the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate a form of definitive agreement, the term of which is expected to be five years, extendable for an additional two years, from its execution, which is expected to occur in the next 30 days.

RYCEY US ADRs Rolls Royce closed trading today back at the recent Swing High of $2.68 - next $2.68 test likely to break above testing the next Fibonacci Extension Ladder Levels UP in fractal wave patterns.

My Fidelity account just switched my remaining RYCEY shares from short-term hold to Long-term hold so when we top turn and I sell before the next Fibonacci Fractal Wave retrace it will only be taxed at capital gains and not ordinary income like the first 1,000 shares I sold (Have some other investment loss holdover credits that will mitigate the taxes).

I discovered that any trades I do in my Roth IRA have to be held for at least 5 Years if I want to withdraw with NO taxes...  Whereas, now that I am over the IRA withdrawal age I can trade all I want inside my Traditional IRA with no taxes till I withdraw and no need since you can borrow against IRA assets for an Off Grid Log Cabin/Lodge Hunting Fishing hideout once the USA Slides into the modern Great $50 Trillion DEBT greatest depression since the Collapse of Rome. 

People still require Maslow's hierarchy of needs to survive so if my CASH dissolves and the securities markets freeze in value I have stacked Silver and Gold to trade for real assets when the SHTF.

Keep in mind the original Research Report called this a $50.00 (US: RYCEY ADRs) stock within 5 years so still plenty of room to run.

I found a new TradingView Live Elliott Wave tool with two degrees of Trending and Corrective Waves with a future projection in the most likely percentages.

So I tested it on my RYCEY US Rolls ADRs chart and immediately sold 999 Shares of my remaining 1,000 keeping one on my Fidelity list as a reminder to keep an eye open for the next Swing Low Buy back in.

Why did I sell - I had calculated that we completed 5 waves up from the year-ago USD $0.71 lows whereas the Elliott Wave (Live) Chart Pattern Tool in percent mode calculated at this weeks High $2.82 were only at the impulsing 3rd Long 1 year 123 waves high and at $2.82 we were top turning into a fourth wave retrace range of 38% to 62% down of the length of the 3rd leg Up.  Meaning we are at Top of Wave 3 turning into a retrace Wave 4 - a classic Swing Top Time to Sell as a long term 1 year swing trade with a buyback in on the bottom of Swing Wave 4.  (Thick Blue Line was my previously calculated Larger Wave 1/2 target which will have to wait for the completion of the revised smaller Auto Calculated 5 waves now at top 3 turning into 4 down.

Good news is an impulsing 5th wave up into the $3.50 to $4.50 range follows this 4th wave correction.  Top of 5th being another Swing Trade Sell before the next ABC correction.  Waves with Fibonacci Extensions and Retracements rule the Universe.

I also sold as a now long-term hold at a lower capital gains tax rate and can move all the cash over to my "Traditional IRA" where I can trade tax-free as I have reached a key age target until I eventually withdraw trading profits at a future date.  Any stocks I bought in my Roth IRA have to remain there for 5 years for the same tax-free treatment.  So now all trades in the Trad-IRA.

Brilliant and Shocking Harry Dent interview:

Brilliant only if he is right and we are running out of time unless he extends his timeframe.

[Texan77]

Brilliant and Shocking Harry Dent interview:

Brilliant only if he is right and we are running out of time unless he extends his timeframe.

Harry Dent has predicted every crash of the stock market. He is always predicting a crash. He is like a broken clock. He will surely be right again and maybe this time will the time he is right. I do not know.

[cufflinks]

I actually listen to contrarians like Harry Dent.  Why - because unlike every alt channel fook shilling gold as the only asset to protect you against inflation or hyperinflation since Bitcoin/Crypto are too volatile...

Harry said in the 2008/09 crash Gold dropped 50% - not as bad as the NAZDAQ 90% crash - but still Gold lost half its value in that crash.

While the TLT and ZROZ longer-term US Treasury Bill ETFs nearly doubled.

These are facts even Tex can confirm with Gold, TLT and ZROZ charts.

Harry's Bi-Weekly Rants YT Channel - latest:

Don't even get me started about the TEX RANTS lunacy...

[Turboguy]

I don't know that I would agree that gold dropped that much during the crash.

Prior to the crash gold had hit a high of $ 1000.00 on March 18th, 2008.    The lowest it dropped was $ 735.25 on November 7th of 2008.  That low is only a few dollars off where it had been when it it a new high a year earlier. 

[Turboguy]

For that matter if you held stocks and didn't panic and sell them in the 2008 your investment recovered and sailed on to new highs.  I made money in the stock market during the crash since I added stocks at bargain prices. 

[Turboguy]

It's always interesting to get different ideas from people and sometimes it can pay off.  You do have to remember that very few experts can consistently beat the market. 

Just think.  Any of us can predict 100% certainty of a market crash in the next few months and keep predicting that over and over for decades.   Then we can sell our services for big bucks based on the fact we predicted every market crash for decades. 

[cufflinks]

For that matter if you held stocks and didn't panic and sell them in the 2008 your investment recovered and sailed on to new highs.  I made money in the stock market during the crash since I added stocks at bargain prices.

I Agree... I basically work with Fractal (Elliott) Waves with most probable Fibonacci Extension and Retracement targets per each fractal wave UP and Down.  A.K.A. Swing Trading. Buy at bottoms (Rolls ADRs at $0.98 and Sell at Tops - recent 1 year RYCEY Wave 3 top at $2.82.  170% profit...

Never thought the Great Rolls Royce Engines innovators with Microsoft AI Maint services would Crash to penny stock status to $0.71 but COVID crashed a lot of great companies.  Research indicates Rolls likely a $50 stock in 5 years or so due to explosion in Global Air Travel, Military Aircraft upgrades and the need for SMR base load reactors in UK/EU/EMEA.

I search for similar opps to Rolls where the Companies were profitable but crashed to penny stocks (Less than $5 USD) and are likely to dramatically recover post covid after the Harry Dent 90% pending markets crash.

I am currently in the Fidelity SPAXX Money markets in both my individual and IRA accounts at 4.97% adjusted weekly. 

TLT is now in a multi Year ABC corrective (Following a multi-year 5 Wave top at $180.00) at a double bottom of $95.00 USD - A number of experts believe TLT (20 year average US Treasuries) to Double in value when the US Markets Crash and Fed pivots to Zirps 0% again, TLT doubles.

TLT and ZROZ will be safest cash equiv repositories during the new Great Depression Crash.

Just think.  Any of us can predict 100% certainty of a market crash in the next few months and keep predicting that over and over for decades.   Then we can sell our services for big bucks based on the fact we predicted every market crash for decades.

My Advisor and Maduro Cigars Boston Sports friend generated $3 Billion+ USD incremental profits for his firm during the past 5 years. (One of the Top Rainmakers in the USA) he deleted all Social Media including LinkedIn for OpSec, Prefers NHs 2A regs. He uses Major and Minor previous Support and Resistance Levels - then Trend Channels, then Fibonacci Wave Extensions and Retraces fitting most probable Fractal Waves into these mathematically calculated Support and Resistance future targets.  He trades the market based upon Price targets vs Time Targets however he always knows most probable times for Market Turns.

Whenever I would mention a stock from my research newsletters he would ask "Did you chart it yet?"

He uses a Risk Management strategy of Take Your Profits when they come (base hits VS Grand Slams)

He is the one who suggested I take half my Rolls RYCEY ADRs at a double to lock in a guaranteed profit so my Double Limit Sell at $2.05 popped to my advantage at a Sell of $2.38 because of the 5 hour delay in NYSE market open after the recent great Covid Recovery profits reported in London by Rolls.

We mapped Fibonacci targets posted up thread of classic RYCEY Rolls Chart analysis back up to the Rolls ADRs $20 USD range over the next several years).

Fibonacci maths rules the Universe.

I don't know that I would agree that gold dropped that much during the crash.

Prior to the crash gold had hit a high of $ 1000.00 on March 18th, 2008.    The lowest it dropped was $ 735.25 on November 7th of 2008.  That low is only a few dollars off where it had been when it it a new high a year earlier.

Weekly Gold Tradingview Feed High March 2008 = 1007, Low Week of 27Oct08 = 707.60  30% Drop.

Of course, either was a good buy point because Gold ran up to 1879.00 Week of 15Aug2011 More than Double from the Low...  However then retraced to a swing low of 1058.00 week of 28Dec2015  a 44% Drop so clearly Harry rounded to 50% or Gold lost half its value in a recent historical correction.

So why does Gold lose 30% to 50% of its value during Market Crashes?

Most hedge fund managers use leverage and trade on margin to beat the competition. 
Great when markets rise but results in Vicious Bear Bites (Margin Calls) of anything liquid in a portfolio during Bear Market Crashes.

Gold and now also Bitcoin are highly liquid and get sold fast to cover margin calls during Bear Market events (Crashes or worse Flash Crashes).  A major reason when one of Warren Buffet's cardinal rules is never use leverage. Buy and hold forever and live to be 100! 

I use Fib Maths to Swing Trade Major Waves and make extra to enjoy life while I still can before I see a True Hideous Nuclear Submarine Seabeast Fossil in the mirror!

Not Cuffy but here goes:
The article discusses how Jamie Dimon, known for his critical views on Bitcoin, is involved in a significant Bitcoin-related financial product. Despite his past negative comments about Bitcoin, his bank, JPMorgan, is now set to play a major role as a broker-dealer for a Bitcoin ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) managed by BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager. This move indicates a significant shift in the approach towards cryptocurrency by major financial institutions. The ETF allows for the trading of Bitcoin through a regulated financial product.

Chinese market hits new lows making Chinese stocks worth a new recorder low against USA stocks. It seems investors do not trust the Chinese economy going forward.

Thanks for you response. I'd like to hear from Cuffy.

In case you did not notice, I already posted that article just prior to your response and I had also read it. Sometimes there is a backstory or other unsaid information which Cufflinks might no about. Where has he been?

Insiders are selling stock shares at record rates. Also new mortgage applications are dropping very fast. Possible rough time in near future. Maybe 2025?

More doom and gloom?   I've made more money in stocks last year than in a long time.  The Magnificent 7 is indeed MAGnificent   triple or quad gains on META, NVDA, TSLA. more AI stuff with Supermicro, ARM, a british company..

It always goes higher than you think but will crash lower than you want.  I'm still holding and taking gains.

I was too slow to renew my W8 form for US holdings on one of my stock accounts and the bloody platform sold them all, many at a loss. 

I haven't done too well on US stocks the last year or so actually, Tex's doom stories may be right. Stalwart stuff like Walgreens, ADM, and some healthcare funds all on the floor over a year. I think I'm staying out of the US now.
