key sectors for 2019 - trade and investment ideas


Recommended Posts

So I recently received a certain publication from a competitor to IG (don't worry i'll behave) and it had a section in it that talks about some key global sectors which may be worth looking into for developing trends and developments in 2019. Thought it would be an interesting discussion given we're at the start of the year and many may be looking at some longer term sectors and strategy. My three sectors are....

Retail: obviously retail is changing, not only in the high street space which we all know has seen problems, but in the online space and more specifically china and their demand for high end fashion and retail. Key stats are

  • 7.6m households in china will be buying luxury goods in 2025
  • 33% of global spend on luxury in 2018 was by the Chinese ...
  • ...rising to 45% projected by 2025
  • 12% of worldwide retail sales were made online in 2018...
  • ...expected to rise to 17.5% by 2021

Cars: sales of cars and car companies in general has always been interesting for me. You used to see so many companies going under - going bust - being bought or acquired for £1. We all know those stories. However how with electric options and a growth in luxury its having a bit of a come back. Tesla is obviously very interesting to trade and has some good Vol going on there.

  • VW is the interesting one here. German listed, but home to Ferrari, audi, Bentley, Bugatti, MAN trucks and Porsche, but only valued at 73bn euro and has a PE of 7.5. You'd basically only need to wait 7 and a bit years to get your money back, along with a div of 2.3%, a cash balance of 22bn and an expected IPO of its truck business to pull in a further 7bn. Possibly valued low at the moment on the back of tesla love / investors not certain that they're ready for the future of the auto industry, however with a balance sheet like that ... its maybe a stock ISA long term option.

Tech: I'll keep this short, but I imagine many people be interested in this sector because its so god **** volatile!

  • Netflix expected growth is 58% in the next two years alone! However, we're also looking at a load of competition coming in the form of Disney, Warner and Apple who are in desperate need to diversifying their income stream. Netflix saw 7million new users in Q3 alone of 2018. Amazon prime is looking to have an estimates 170million users by 2022
  • Azures growth in Q3 of 2018 was 76% which is crazy. This is Microsoft.
  • Cloud computing is going to be big. 60% of enterprises are expected to move to the cloud by EOY 2019.
  • Apple lost nearly a quarter of its value in Oct and Nov 2018. Mad.
  • Tech IPO year? Lets have a look - Uber? Airbnb? possibly ...
  • This will be a risky year. I'm not convinced this will be the best play in 2019, but it is interesting. If you're looking at the space then my PERSONAL idea would be to look at the up and coming rather than the heavy weights.

So what are ya'll thoughts on this one? Whats 2019 saying?

    • Thanks THT. Great data. Pity Brokers do not have software of this calibre that would help traders a lot more, and quick work Price / Time charting. They offer the standard tools.  
    • Hi Skyreach, Thanks for the comment Yep, most charting software does not do it right, this is purely down to the SCALING of computer screens and the software - there is a solution though The perfect way is to find out the scaling for the market you're looking at (they are ALL different) - If you take the SP500 as an example and I think I showed this on my "Are the markets random" thread, the High of Jan 2022 to Oct 2022 was a PERFECT 1 x 1 down angle in terms of Gann - the scaling formula is EXACTLY the same scaling for UP angles Gann angles aren't the be all and end all as they have there limitations but you can use them for certain things - What Gann did was right specific courses for huge amounts of money with confidentiality clauses that explained exactly what the markets were/are doing, those courses have remained hidden from the public, with only a tiny amount of evidence as to what was going on - BUT, Gann was talking about planets and planetary positions on charts in relation to prices and his Gann angles, were approximate planetary lines for the general public to use, not precise, but good enough as the angles are based on %'s of the circle See the following chart: DJIA from 2009 - People would have writen off the 1 x 1 angle after 2011, but look at it in 2022 perfect example of price and time balancing - this is a perfectly scaled chart and angles Notice: the 1 x 1.5 angle (never talked of of published on charting software) it was effective throughout and ran through the 50% level of the "covid" plunge EXACTLY This chart is the DJIA from 1982 to 2000: The 1 x 1 forecast and timed the big 2000 highs, notice the support it provided in 1987+ and notice that the 1.5 x 1 angle ran right though the 50% level of the 1987 crash - in just 2 charts we've seen the 1.5 angle split major crashes precisely and exactly to the 50% level So to come back to your comment about scaling etc and again I've shown this in "Are markets random" thread, but didn't highlight it - If you find a well defined market swing of a number of weeks or months as shown in the chart below - box the swing, split it proportionally into 25%'#s draw angles to intersect those 25%'s as shown = YOU WILL HAVE A PERFECTLY SCALED ANGLE FOR YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN AND CHARTING SOFTWARE  As long as you don't change the scaling on the chart by adding or reducing more price bars etc it will be accurately scaled, you can then COPY the angles and move around the chart - On my charting software I look back over 6 months, if I changed that to say 9 months then the scaling would change and the angles created on the 6 month basis would not be to scale, so as long as i keep the look back to 6 months any angles created will be perfectly scaled etc My software also allows me to view the angle on different timescales without moving it I mentioned planets above Not shown on the chart is the Mars/Jupiter combo at the 2009 low - the SP500 stopped dead at 666.79 points  - the Mars/Jupiter line was at a longitude of 307 degrees on a circle of 360, add 360 to 307 and you get the value of 667 = which was the value in points at which the SP500 "suddenly" stopped dead at and turned around!  This chart proves the conjunction value of mars/jupiter: The first chart is Gann's 1948 Soybeans charts shwoing Mars and Jupiter conjunction at the HIGH Then this is Mars/Jupiter conjunctions in the SP500 from 200 high - not all timings are significant but some are Here's, the trendline as a line from the 2000 high - notice that in 2018 it caught the high around the conjunction date - the thing to consider here is like the 2009 low, PRICE was 2872, the 2018 conjunction was the 8th conjunction since the 2000 high - 8 x 360 = 2880 degrees from the 2000 high = 8 points from perfection As we can see when Mars/Jupiter time and price balanced, the market dropped - only a minor drop in the grand scheme of things, but it did exactly as Gann said it would, trend reversal So although Gann mentioned his gann angles, really was he was saying was "Planetary lines" - which is exactly why when we trade gann angles, they often don't work that well, because we're trading them with the wrong scaling, the wrong reasoning and something else is creating the lines and angle of them, that most people are oblivious to That being said, people can still trade the steeper Gann angles from either the box method of creating them or the proper scaled method of knowing the points per bar figure - markets above the steeper angles often keep on rising  THT
