🔟🌟Technical Analysis🌟

Specially for @dmuthuk

Have analyzed chart on daily & monthly time frame

On daily chart there is a strong resistance around 645 – 670 levels. If this resistance is broken then surely stock can go to 740 soon.

#UnitedSpirits #DiageoIndia #StockMarket
1⃣1⃣On monthly chart, #ascendingtriangle is being formed which can give #breakout around 730 – 740 levels.

On breakout stock can go towards levels of around 1370 + in 18 – 24 months.

Technically, for investment one should place a stop loss around 400 - 410

@dmuthuk adds -
In my view, Diageo India would be a huge wealth creator in the next two decades.

1⃣4⃣

@dmuthuk sir adds -

✅Diageo India is just a $5 billion market cap company. I think many have no clue how big this can be in another 10 to 20 years.

✅Globally, Diageo stands for ethics and integrity; very much important especially for liquor industry.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
