Here is the rewritten text in a more readable format:
3M Analysis
Lawsuit Background
A massive class action lawsuit has been filed against 3M and its subsidiary Aearo Technologies, alleging that the company sold faulty hearing aids under the brand name Combat Arms earplugs. The plaintiffs are seeking damages of up to $100 billion.
Market Impact
The lawsuit is threatening the viability of 3M and has put additional selling pressure on the stock. Long-term investors have been liquidating their holdings, which has led to a volatile market.
Trading Strategy
- Favored trading on the short side due to the negative AI forecast.
- Seasoned traders can sell calls or buy put options as well.
Analysis
The chart is volatile and based on the litigation backstory. We favor looking at trades on the short side whenever the AI forecast becomes negative.
Common-Sense Indicators
There are several basic common-sense indicators that can be used to anticipate future price movements, including:
- Regularly making new 52-week lows
- Failing to make new monthly highs
- New lower lows on the daily chart
3M is currently wrestling with a massive downtrend that favors its continuation moving forward. Management of the company is trying to settle litigation so that this trend can be reversed.
