Today in Focus: Market Gap Up, Caution

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.

Market Condition: Market Gapping Up, VIX Red, Cautious

Commentary: I would have much preferred a gap down this morning rather than the strong green open. We don’t always get what we want though! I am not seeing anything in terms of catalyst today that makes me want to add risk. I have plenty of risk on and I am seeing a great start to the day.. How we close is going to be more important. Patience is important here.

NBIS (Long since March 11th as Published) had a nice follow on catalyst today and NVDA will have a Keynote from Jensen Huang so I expect Semiconductors to be in play.

I won’t make stock picks just to give action. What I write here is a mirror of my own private work. Monitoring the VIX as always on days like this.

Current Positions: FSLY, DELL, SWBI, NKTR, PVLA, YOU, ROIV, CRCL, MRVL, AMPX, RLMD, LWLG, NIO, NBIS
