A(nother) word on Bitcoin ETFs

The market is definitely maturing its way out of FUD – an excellent sign for upcoming growth!

I don’t always get the short-term calls right, but man am I good at the long-term ones – the ones which are really important to investors!

The last two Bitcoin ETF applications were withdrawn this week (by CBOE and SolidX) due to the US government shutdown (allegedly). What happened to Bitcoin when they withdrew?

This is in stark contrast to the immature and frankly rather clueless 2018 market.

Do you remember the effect that any ETF news had on BTC in 2018? Any statement from the SEC,

The market has 4 MAJOR levels of resistance that it will have to overtake before it

Qualcomm…Left Out Of The Rally

Xilinix, Teradyne, Lam Research and Texas Instruments all beat earnings expectations in their reports on Wednesday, sending the chip sector higher by the end of the day.  The only outlier was Qualcomm which was negative on the day.

Kerrisdale Capital, is shorting Qualcomm shares and released a research report stating that Qualcomm is “teetering on the brink of disaster” and that its unique business model is “living on borrowed time.”

The FTC sued Qualcomm for violated FRAND {fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory} rules, which states that companies that become members of the rule structure must license their products to competitors.
