    3 Reasons to Buy Nvidia Stock (Once It Pulls Back)

    Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has performed very well since the beginning of June, and as the chart below shows, shares of NVDA are up nearly 12% since then.Compare the gain in Nvidia's share price to the VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (NYSEARCA:SMH), which is up just 6.8%. But considering this quick run-up in Nvidia's stock, it would be wise to wait for a pullback before jumping in for the long haul. Bad News Is Priced In Click to Enlarge Source: Yahoo Finance Much of the bad news for Nvidia has already been priced in by the market. During their most recent earnings report on May 16, Nvidia's management did not give an outlook for the remainder of the year.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsHowever, they warned about continued softness in Nvidia's datacenter segment and issues with a CPU shortage in the gaming segment.When those issues are combined with the well-known issue of continued revenue declines from cryptocurrency miners, it appears any bad news is already known by the market."The data center spending pause around the world will likely persist in the second quarter and visibility remains low," said Colette Kress, EVP & CFO on NVDA's Q1 2019 earnings call. "In gaming, the CPU shortage while improving will affect the initial round of our laptop business." Pending Acquisition of Mellanox TechnologiesOne of the potential catalysts for Nvidia to drive growth is the pending acquisition of Mellanox Technologies (NASDAQ:MLNX), which is expected to close by the end of the year. The deal is important for Nvidia, because it provides growth at a time when growth has been lagging.During the Q1 earnings press release, the company noted that the deal would be immediately accretive upon closing. The one wildcard for this deal being finalized is the fact that it needs approval from China.Therefore, if there are continued trade tensions with China, the completion of the deal could be delayed or rejected. That is something investors should consider in their decision making process.From Nvidia's earnings press release:"Once complete, the combination is expected to be immediately accretive to Nvidia's non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP earnings per share, and free cash flow. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the calendar year." Appealing Long-Term Technical OutlookMany investors will look at technical analysis as part of their decision process when determining to buy a stock, however many investors usually focus on short-term timeframes. When looking at short-term timeframes, shares of Nvidia are overbought, which is why some caution should be exercised.For stocks that I am considering holding for an extended period of time, I like to look at the long-term technical outlook, which means looking at a weekly or monthly chart versus the standard daily charts that many investors look at. Click to Enlarge Source: TradingView The adjacent chart paints a bullish picture for the technical outlook for Nvidia. The RSI on the weekly chart is still below 50 and both lines of the MACD are still below zero. Given these data points, I expect shares of Nvidia will retest the $200 level sometime this year. Bottom Line on NVDAIn closing, I believe Nvidia is a quality company at the intersection of a number of important trends, ranging from the data center to autonomous driving. If the pending acquisition of Mellanox Technologies is approved, it will provide an additional avenue of growth in the future.Since the bad news is known by the market, and considering Nvidia's future growth prospects, it makes sense to be on the lookout for a quality opportunity to enter NVDA for the long-term.The time to enter is not at this moment in time, given the short-term overbought conditions that are present. Once the short-term overbought conditions subside, there should be an opportunity in the near future to be able to enter for the long-term.As of this writing, Brad Kenagy does not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

    How, When and Why to Buy Advanced Micro Devices Stock Again

    There's a trade pause in the news and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) bulls continue to win the war on and off the price chart. All of this is setting up another nice long opportunity in AMD stock. Here's why:Source: Shutterstock This week has started off on a solid and well-supported footing for Wall Street following upbeat trade war news between the U.S. and China from the G-20 Summit. And semiconductor stocks like AMD stock are faring even better.The Vaneck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (NYSEARCA:SMH) is adding 3.85% and demonstrating relative strength as the industry's revenues rely heavily on business with China. And for its part, shares of AMD have jumped significantly.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsImportantly, the U.S. government's ban against China's Huawei has been eased as part of the latest agreement. The company remains on a trade blacklist, but U.S. technology firms can sell products such as semiconductors, which don't pose a national security risk, to Huawei.Ironically, this past Friday, AMD stock came under modest pressure following a report it had improperly transferred sensitive, microprocessor technology to some of its Chinese partners in 2016. Advanced Micro Devices quickly pushed back with evidence it followed all protocols and received permission from the U.S. Commerce Department regarding the shared technology within the joint venture. * 7 Restaurant Stocks to Put on Your Plate Hmm … "fake news" anyone?I'll let readers reach their own conclusion regarding Friday's AMD stock story.The fact is Advanced Micro Devices continues to do great and impress with its business gains. Most recently, last Thursday AMD stock received a fresh buy recommendation from Wedbush. The investment firm sees AMD's "early adoption of a distributed chiplet" architecture combined with a shift to leading-edge geometries positions capable of taking meaningful market share in both the PC and server markets from rival Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC).The other fact is the current price action looks like the latest opportunity for AMD stock bulls to go long and profit from a friendly trend. AMD Stock Weekly Chart Click to EnlargeMonday's bid in AMD stock has confirmed a pullback formed over the past couple weeks after shares narrowly hit fresh relative highs in early June. Bears are likely to see the recent high as a pattern double top and resistance until overcome. I prefer to remain optimistic of AMD's uptrend.At the end of the day, or in this case, the end of the week, Advanced Micro shares found support around recent lateral price congestion and with Monday's price action, have now confirmed a new pivot low within AMD stock's bullish trend.One flaw with buying AMD stock today is the weekly stochastics. Currently, the indicator is in neutral territory and hasn't yet signaled a bullish crossover. With shares less than 2% above last week's candlestick pivot high and otherwise in a buyable position, my recommendation is to put AMD on your watch list for purchase once stochastics fully affirms today's price action.Disclosure: Investment accounts under Christopher Tyler's management currently own positions in Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and its derivatives, but no other securities mentioned in this article.
