Intro
If we look at a weekly chart of Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:CLF), we can see that shares are continuing their descent despite the excellent Q1 numbers which were announced roughly three weeks ago. The company reported Non-GAAP earnings of $1.71 per share and sales of $6 billion in the quarter, both numbers convincingly beat consensus estimates. Furthermore, the decision to increase the average expected selling price by management was due to bullish trends in fixed price renewals, higher spreads, as well as a more lucrative futures curve which point to better pricing.

My name is Jack Foley and I primarily write and research investment commentary as well as trade the markets. I'm Irish but live in Madrid, Spain with my beautiful wife and 2 children.

From fundamentals analysis to technical analysis, options or futures, income or capital gain, long term trading or day trading, there is something for everyone in the markets depending on one's respective goals. "Starting with the end in mind" is a great mindset to start your investment career with respect to ascertaining exactly what you want to get out of the markets. Write down what you want and how quickly you want it. Therefore depending on the capital you are starting out with, you will then know what levels of risk you need to take.
