Stocks in Play - 14th May 2026

Today in Focus: IPO DAY

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: Narrow Market, Selling Under the Hood

Commentary: I’m taking a relaxed approach to today. We have a big IPO in CBRS. In the past I have found these to be bad days to add new swing risk. I don’t know the mechanics of it or if I’m just being anecdotal but on big IPO days like SNOW in 20/21 you tend to see very choppy action in other names. I think CBRS may be one of those.

That plus I don’t see anything that excites me too much. Which makes it easier. STAA probably looks the best that is a reasonable Earnings Play. Intraday high fliers in SNAL and maybe MOBX.

Have plenty of exposure here so no need to go crazy on a day like today. Nanocaps are flying also which tends to be the shit before the flush.

Following rules on everything else.
