Honorable Mention to:

MU - This has had a big run into earnings but I think it can keep going this morning however there may be better Semi plays. SMCI has a great daily chart and looks poised. NVDA is racing ahead at ATHs. Semis overall are certainly in play today. MU beat on EPS ($1.91 vs est. $1.60) Strong beat on Revs, GM & OMs beat. Huge FCF Beat. Data Center Revs 100% YoY. Strong Guidance for Q4. SMCI & MU are my contenders today, with SMCI having the better chart..

There are some CEO mentions today of Quantum Computing (Satya Nadella) and Jensen Huang talking up robotics. SERV (Uber Partnership), IONQ (Quantum) may be worth keeping an eye on also. Feels like a story stock day…

Industry Group: Semiconductors, Market Cap: 142.21B, Float: 1.11B Short Interest 2.53%, Days to Cover: 1.22, Exchange: NASDAQ

CYN - Press Release about NVDA Partnership. Essentially this is a one sided presser. They are just using NVDA platform for their Applications and claiming it’s a partnership. Still - Theme of AVs & Robotics and NVDA. Total Story stock. Up 140% Pre Market. Low Mkt Cap, Float.

Industry Group: Software - Application, Market Cap: 8.78M, Float: 1.69M Short Interest 1.61%, Days to Cover: 0.55, Exchange: NASDAQ

Market Awareness

As the days go by we’re looking more an more like the Covid crash and rebound on the index. It’s still paying to be bullish and Wall Street are preparing to launch SPACs and all sorts of other grifts. A quick fear shakeout still makes sense soon. Short lived and then off to the races. All the Tariff noise is due to return in the next two weeks which could certainly cause that but we may also see Trump introduce his ‘‘Shadow FED’’ which in the short to medium term could send things in a rapid Bubble trajectory. Especially if he manages to get a complete Yes man the office. In the long term who knows but the Speculative Money sure seems ready to go in a big way here.

There were a lot of Squats yesterday. We may see a few more days of the same into the end of Month and short week next week. Watching individual names and focusing on the strongest themes. Nothing individually 5 Star today in my opinion.

_{PS: There are many ways to trade stocks in play. It does not have to be the one that keeps going straight up and sometimes it doesn’t even have to be day one of the catalyst. Everyone must find a setup, timeframe and method that works for them. This list is supposed to educate on the criteria I use and the methods in which I find Stocks in Play. Yours may differ and that is completely okay.}
