Bull Signal Flashing For Struggling Footwear Name

Forbes4 days ago
Swiss footwear name On Holding (ONON) is down 3.2% this afternoon to trade at $49.94, as the equity continues its volatile week on the charts. Since mid-June, all breakout attempts by ONON have been capped at $55, pressuring the stock to a now 8.5% year-to-date deficit. However, this underperformance may have an expiration date if the past is any indication.
Per Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White, ONON has come within one standard deviation of the 80-day moving average after spending at least eight of the last 10 trading days and 80% of the past two months above it.
Eight other signals occurred over the past three years, after which the stock was higher one month later 75% of the time, averaging a 10.6% gain. A move of similar magnitude would push On Holding stock back above $55 for the first time since July 2.

Options traders have been extremely bearish, per the security's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) of 1.66, which stands in the 99th percentile of readings from the past 12 months. Should this bearish sentiment begin to unwind, it could provide further tailwinds.

Dutch Bros Stock Flashing Sure-Fire Bull Signal

Shares of coffee chain Dutch Bros Inc (NYSE:BROS) have been pulling back since early June, down 0.2% at $59.36 at last glance today. The stock looks due for a short-term rebound, however, as the recent price action has it running into the supportive 200-day trendline, which coincides with its year-to-date breakeven level. Per Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White, BROS is within 0.75 of the 200-day trendline's 20-day average true range (ATR) after spending at least 80% of the last 10 days and 80% of the last two months above it. Over the past , two similar signals have occurred, and the equity was higher one month later both times with an average 21% gain. A move of similar magnitude would put Dutch Bros stock at $71.82, erasing its July losses. BROS' 14-day relative strength index (RSI) of 30.7 sits on the cusp of "oversold" territory. Plus, short interest represents 6.6% of the stock's available float, leaving plenty of pent-up buying power in the event of a bounce.

Mark Zuckerberg's $99,000 purple watch gets its distinct color from heat-treating titanium

You might've missed one of Mark Zuckerberg's latest watches. The Meta CEO wore a striking purple timepiece last month while announcing new Oakley Meta glasses. The DB28xs Purple Rain from De Bethune originally sold for $99,000 when it was released in 2024. Mark Zuckerberg added a splash of color to his multimillion-dollar watch collection earlier this summer. The Meta CEO was seen sporting an eye-catching purple watch in June in an Instagram post announcing Oakley Meta glasses. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mark Zuckerberg (@zuck) A closer look shows it's the DB28xs Purple Rain from Swiss watchmaker De Bethune. When it was released in 2024, the watch, a limited edition of 25, was priced at $99,000. On the resale market, it can fetch $100,000 to $120,000, depending on condition, Eugene Tutunikov, CEO of SwissWatchExpo, told Business Insider. Joshua Ganjei, CEO of European Watch Company, said this De Bethune isn't your typical luxury piece. "It's not a mainstream flex—it's a connoisseur's statement," Ganjei told Business Insider. "Seeing someone like Zuck embrace such a niche, design-forward piece speaks volumes about his evolving taste and the growing influence of independent haute horology." The science behind the watch's color is fascinating: It's made using the thermal oxidation of titanium metal, getting its striking purple shade from the heat released by the chemical reactions of heated titanium. This isn't the first time Zuckerberg has been seen sporting a piece from the high-end watchmaker. He wore a DB25 Starry Varius while speaking at a live taping of the "Acquired" podcast in San Francisco in September. Zuckerberg's interest in watches appears to stem from an interaction he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, shared with Anant Ambani at Ambani's pre-wedding party in March 2024. Photos showed Zuckerberg and Chan admiring a Richard Mille watch worn by the Reliance Industries heir. "You know, I never really wanted to get a watch, but after seeing that, I was like, watches are cool," Zuckerberg can be heard saying in a video of the interaction. Zuckerberg's watch collection includes everything from a $120 Casio to a $900,000 Greubel Forsey. He's also been seen wearing pieces from Rolex, Patek Philippe, and F.P. Journe.

Fraudsters scammed Mexican billionaire out of $400M by claiming they were descendants of Astor family: ‘I feel like an absolute idiot'

A Mexican billionaire was tricked into lending $400 million to a group of con artists — one of whom passed himself off as a descendant of the 19th century fur trader John Jacob Astor. Ricardo Salinas Pliego, the owner of the telecommunications conglomerate Grupo Salinas, told the Wall Street Journal that he thought he had found the perfect lending partner when he needed to finance a large Bitcoin investment in 2021. Instead, he was duped into a 'loan-to-own' scheme that wiped out out nearly a quarter of his net worth. Advertisement 7 A Ukrainian-born fraudster, Val Sklarov, duped a Mexican billionaire out of $400 million. 'I feel like an absolute idiot. How could I fall for this?' Salinas Pliego, 69, told the Journal. Salinas Pliego, whose net worth approached $16 billion at the peak of his wealth, had pledged shares in his company, Grupo Elektra, as collateral in the fraudulent loan scheme. Grupo Electro shares plunged 71% in a single day in July 2024 after investor confidence was rattled by news that his company fell victim to fraud. Advertisement The collapse wiped $5.5 billion from his fortune, part of a broader $4 billion drop in Elektra's market value triggered by the systematic sale of his shares under the 'loan-to-own' arrangement allegedly orchestrated by Ukrainian-born American fraudster Vladimir Sklarov. Salinas Pliego's journey into this financial nightmare began when he sought to expand his cryptocurrency holdings by borrowing $400 million against his stake in Grupo Elektra, the retail and banking empire his father established in 1950. Through a Swiss financial adviser, he connected with Astor Capital Fund, which claimed prestigious lineage to the legendary New York family that once produced America's richest man. Advertisement 7 Ricardo Salinas Pliego, who was once worth as much as $16 billion, lost a quarter of his wealth as a result of the scam. AP Salinas Pliego's stock collateral worth over $400 million had vanished, sold off by Sklarov, who had masqueraded as 'Gregory Mitchell' while his accomplice posed as an Astor family descendant, according to the Journal. Property records indicate that as part of the alleged scheme, Sklarov's lawyer and longtime associate appears to have covertly funneled Salinas's money into a series of high-end real estate purchases across the United States and Europe. The acquisitions included a $6.45 million penthouse in New York overlooking Central Park, a $2.67 million mansion in Virginia purchased under the lawyer's name and a $6 million château in France registered to Sklarov's wife, according to the news site Currency. Advertisement 7 An accomplice to the fraud passed himself off as a descendant of robber baron John Jacob Astor. © Bettmann/CORBIS The portfolio was rounded out by two villas located in the affluent Greek suburbs of Marousi and Ekali. The operation appeared legitimate from every angle. During video conferences, a man identifying himself as Thomas Astor Mellon joined calls from a yacht, speaking with an authentic American accent and presenting himself as both the company's chief executive and a descendant of the famous Astor lineage. The firm's materials referenced the illustrious history of German-born fur trader John Jacob Astor, who died in 1848 as America's wealthiest individual and whose family dominated Gilded Age society. Astor Capital's professional presentation included attractive loan terms at just 1.15% interest and documentation bearing the official seal of a regal lion. The company even maintained a polished website featuring a promotional video showing professionals entering branded offices, complete with imagery of a lion statue and narration about building on principles established by John Jacob Astor's financial empire. 7 Sklarov, who served time in prison in the US, orchestrated a 'loan-to-own' scheme. The reality behind this facade proved far more sinister. Investigators later revealed that 'Thomas Astor Mellon' was actually Alexey Skachkov, a resident of the former Soviet republic of Georgia with a criminal history including prescription forgery and jewelry theft. Advertisement The primary architect of the scheme, however, was Sklarov, a Ukrainian-born fraudster who had operated under numerous aliases including 'Mark Simon Bentley' in addition to his Mitchell persona. Sklarov's criminal background stretched back decades, including prison time for masterminding an $18 million Medicare fraud in the 1990s involving companies billing for uncovered surgical dressings. After serving his sentence, he had built a substantial Midwest real estate portfolio that eventually collapsed amid litigation and loan defaults, leading to his divorce and a desperate advertisement in Crain's Detroit Business seeking new opportunities. The fraudster had reinvented himself multiple times, legally changing his name from Vladimir to Val in 2006 to avoid what he claimed was discrimination, and later adopting the Bentley moniker because he 'liked the automobile.' Advertisement Court records show he established operations across multiple jurisdictions, creating same-name companies in various countries and requiring dispute arbitration in obscure financial centers like Jamaica and Nevis. Warning signals emerged gradually. Salinas Pliego's financial lieutenant, Eduardo González Salceda Sánchez, first noticed unusual trading activity in Elektra shares during fall 2021, suspicious because the stock typically experienced minimal trading volume. 7 The alleged scheme involved setting up a fake office and a web site for 'Astor Asset Management.' Despite these concerns, the billionaire's team maintained faith in their lending partner, particularly after visiting what appeared to be legitimate Astor offices in New York City, complete with branded materials and a professional receptionist. Advertisement The scheme's collapse accelerated when Salceda Sánchez requested independent verification that the pledged shares remained in Salinas Pliego's custody account. Rather than providing proof, Astor Capital claimed the inquiry constituted forbidden interference and asserted unrestricted rights over the collateral. When the London broker involved in arranging the deal questioned whether Astor was short-selling the stock, 'Mitchell' responded dismissively that borrowing shares represented normal market operations, according to the Journal. Salinas Pliego's attempt to prepay the loan in July 2024 triggered the final phase of the fraud. Advertisement Three weeks later, Astor Capital issued a default notice citing eleven violations, including the verification request, allegedly late interest payments and a Mexican government investigation into some of Salinas Pliego's companies. Legal filings cited by the Journal reveal that Salinas Pliego represented just one victim in a much larger operation. 7 American millionaire businessman and lieutenant colonel in the Spanish-American War, John Jacob Astor IV (1864 – 1912), circa 1898. Getty Images Sklarov allegedly controlled approximately three-quarters of a billion dollars worth of stock from multiple borrowers across the United States, United Kingdom and Asia over several years. His victims included other wealthy executives who fell for similar schemes involving companies with prestigious names like Cornelius Vanderbilt Capital Management, Shearson Lehman and Bentley Rothschild. The fraud exploited a legitimate but loosely regulated corner of finance known as securities-based lending, where wealthy individuals can access cash without selling their stock holdings. While major Swiss and American banks dominate this market, estimated by Deloitte at $4.3 trillion globally, opportunities exist for less scrupulous operators to exploit borrowers seeking alternative funding sources. 7 Sklarov's lawyer and longtime associate appears to have covertly funneled Salinas's money into a series of high-end real estate purchases across the United States and Europe. Derry, Tessa Salinas Pliego's legal team has launched an aggressive recovery campaign, obtaining a court order freezing $400 million in London commercial court and applying for access to US bank records to trace proceeds from the share sales. Their investigation uncovered the complex money flows underlying the scheme, including nearly $300 million moving through accounts controlled by Sklarov's New York attorney before returning to offshore entities. The fraudster, now living in Greece with his family and reportedly owning multiple properties plus a yacht recently renamed 'Enchantment,' continues to deny wrongdoing. In his defense, Sklarov told the Journal that he operates in the high-risk lending market and maintains that borrowers understood their stock could be lent to other parties. He argues that Astor Capital only promised not to sell shares directly on public exchanges, leaving room for transfers to third parties who might then execute sales. Despite his vast wealth, Salinas Pliego expressed genuine embarrassment about falling victim to the scheme. 'On the one hand it makes me look like an absolute idiot,' Salinas Pliego told the Journal when asked about his his legal campaign to claw back the money. 'On the other hand I feel like something needs to be done.'
