Weekly chart price action shows that stock is in a bearish trend as market continues to make lower low and lower high. Stock has just entered into key price level, if broken, market has a higher probability of trend lower for a long time. A purchase order will put you in a 1:1 RR ratio.

4) Would I be vested ?

No!

Fundamental:

  • Overvalued without any justification (Probably people bought it cause of the brand)
  • 4 years of debt/equity numbers not filed in
  • Poor growth rate
  • Cashflow is so poor probably due to the reinvestment rate (to reduce financing)
  • No dividend

Technical:

  • Market in bearish trend
  • Weak RR ratio
  • Price got legroom to 0.118
