Today in Focus: Slowing Down

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.

Market Condition: Overheating and Highly Speculative Environment

Commentary: ASTC was amazing yesterday and looks to be doing a day two this morning. I’m out of it after a great day trade yesterday. We’re at a stage where really speculative breakouts on no news and absolute story stocks are working better than catalysts. This is usually a short period prior to a pullback.

The focus for many traders will be the Drone Stocks rumored to be getting government funding/investments. This differs in my opinion to the Quantum news where the funding was confirmed vs a rumor. UMAC was the only stock named by media (interestingly Don Jr is an Advisor). Maybe they all work, none of the charts look great so I’m not overly convinced. UMAC is probably the one I would focus on if interested.

Watching NBIS today on that Filing from Situational Awareness Fund position. Usually I ignore this stuff but this guy is the 2026 Cathie Wood and for a time in 20/21 her stocks just kept on going and going.
