Stocks in Play - 26th June 2026
Today in Focus: The Chop Continues
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 IRISHBORNINVESTOR they will give you another 10% Off.
Situational Awareness:
Market Condition: Chop Chop Chop
Commentary: The chop continues. Less is more.
Go and enjoy the weekend or do some deep dive work. I am currently working on my entries. Going back through several years of earnings and catalysts looking at pre-market and market opens on the 5 minute chart and adding them to my database. This review work is better use of my time than clicking buttons on trades…You should be thinking similarly.
We have several negative headlines out over the past 24 hours on the AI front. OpenAI looking to delay IPO until 2027 is the biggest one along with US Gov looking for them to stagger releases of their new models. This government oversight could put a dampener on the spending mood. It may take some time for this to resolve.
Enjoy the weekend.
