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: Choppy
Commentary:
Red open on the indices this morning. Less is more here for now until we see strong follow through and catalysts. I’m still in NVDA but yesterday’s price action is dampening my expectations in the market. It looks to me like Jan to Mar this year. Difficult choppy periods with the odd thing working well. Certainly not easy dollar environment for me.
Opus Genetics Inc (IRD)
Industry Group: Biotechnology, Market Cap: 398.18M, Float: 67.70, Short Interest: 16.61%, Days to Cover: 10.01, Earnings: 8/6/2026 8:30:00 AM, Exchange: NCM
IRD is a speculative biotech reporting interim results on a gene therapy for eye diseases caused by inherited mutations. Definitely needs dollar volume to come in but I like the chart and gene therapy is a theme. Solid pre market action so far. High short interest and DTC.
Meta Platforms Inc (META)
Industry Group: Internet Content & Information, Market Cap: 1640.31B, Float: 2200.02, Short Interest: 1.27%, Days to Cover: 1.57, Earnings: 7/29/2026 4:30:00 PM, Exchange: NMS
In a wider look at the market there is a lot of noise in the past 24 hours about AI Agents. From the OpenAI claim to have solve a new math equation with 10,000 agents and META’s release of MUSE Agentic Assistant. META will be the go to Stock in Play for many day traders today and the pre market action is solid. Whether it follows through I am more skeptical here.
