Today in Focus: Cautious on Gap Up

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 Under all MAs. Weak Gap Up, VIX Elevated

Commentary: Cautious on this morning’s gap up. Would have much preferred a gap down situation to recover. No intention on adding overnight risk here today on any catalysts I see. Unfortunately the newsletters may be a bit more like this for a while but I can only write what I see.

Monitoring AA as aluminum factory/mines are being hit in the Iran war. Nice chart and could have a sustained move in contrast to the market if supply gets hit badly. I also want to note that Solar/Renewable Energy stocks are strong and this is a good potential theme to look at in the coming months as nations press ahead in diversifying from Fossil Fuels.

BFRG is likely a good day trade/high volatility nanocap to watch on some Partnership PR. Pennystock so beware. Not for the faint hearted.

No need to get overactive here.

Current Positions: FSLY, DELL, SWBI, MRVL, KOD,
