Stocks in Play - 12th May 2026

Today in Focus: Watching and Waiting

Trading Services I Use in my Trading:

StockAnalysis.com - I’ve been using Stock Analysis as an affordable but reliable method of looking at New and Upcoming IPOs, Earnings Calendars and most notably KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). Stock Analysis allows you to view the KPIs for many companies with up to date metrics and segments that you can cross reference against Earnings Results. This is incredibly important when understanding what metrics move a stock. At $65 per year it’s a no brainer. They’ve given me a discount code if you use IRISHBORNINVESTOR they will give you another 10% Off.

Situational Awareness

Market Condition: Extended Runaway Market, Pullback Likely

Commentary: Market pulling back this morning. Remains to be seen whether this lasts an hour or a week. Not interested in adding risk here and I don’t see any catalysts that appeal to me this morning with good charts. Have a few Delayed Reaction names on watch but that’s about it today.

Trade Updates:

Current Positions: TWLO, TH, DELL, BAND, BE, SBUX, GOOG, MRAM, NVDA, AAPU, AKAM, INOD, BW

Delayed Reaction/Continuation Watchlist:

  • BLBD

  • FROG

  • SEZL

  • DDOG

Note: This is my methodology for identifying stocks in play. There are many valid approaches to trading catalysts—find the setups, timeframes, and risk parameters that align with your strategy.
