Stocks in Play - 17th July 2026
Today in Focus: Early Weekend
Trading Services I Use:
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 STOCKSINPLAY they will give you another 10% Off.
Situational Awareness:
Market Condition: VIX Rising, Selling Accelerating
Commentary:
OPEX day today. Likely to see wild volatility. Market gapping down heavily. No catalysts in individual names. Chinese AI Model Kimi3 is creating headlines today as a bearish narrative. I’m not really sure if that matters or not.
I’m down to small exposure. Just two Biotech names remaining. Spending time today reviewing charts and constantly reminding myself what a great setup looks like. We have to wait for new setups to emerge. I still think earnings season will give us opportunities but fighting the market here is a fools errand.
On days like today (to stop myself clicking buttons) I’m going to make an effort to post some learning material into the subscriber chat. It’s free to join on Substack just click the link below.
