GPRO revisited

gpro dec 15 2015

We thought that a couple of dollars under $20 might suffice. It did not. Monday the stock made a new low at $16.50. From roughly $100 that is a loss of 84%, without using a calculator.

This is an A-B-C down. Often the A and C legs are equal as vectors (that is direction as well as magnitude) which could suggest that the low might even be at about $12. We have a gut feeling that that may be too low. Here are some , more objective, reasons.

1. Despite two or three downgrades the average target with 15 analysts is still at $33.

2. The /e is at a modest 14 and the company has no debt.

3.Short positions amount to over 31% of the company’s float –the issue price was $24

4.RSI and MACD suggest a turn is around the corner.

5. Marketing by this company is terrible, just a few tweaks could result in dramatic improvements.

6. There are rumours  that the company is an excellent take-over target, perhaps by APPLE. Where there is smoke there is fire. The capitalization is about 2.3 bln., pocket change for AAPL.

7. The C wave subdivides into 9 separate waves, equal to a 5-wave move.

   In short our gut tells us this stock could double overnight. That possibility far outweighs the potential of another $4 down.
