Today’s Picks

1) Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)

X-Ray AMD: Industry Group: Semiconductors, Market Cap: 267.23B, Float: 1.61B Short Interest 2.59%, Days to Cover: 0.78, Exchange: NASDAQ

This is a pretty obvious pick today. OPEN AI sign a huge deal with AMD for supply of chips. The big kicker is that the deal also includes a pathway for Open AI to gain a 10% share in AMD. This is linked to AMD stock price with the final vesting at $600 Per Share. The stock is up 35% today which is just insane for a $300b company. However if you really zoom out the stock has been going sideways for several years. I think this will double from here but I think it will probably be a better delayed reaction. There are other stocks moving in sympathy (SANM & AIP - as suppliers of AMD).

2) Spruce Biosciences (SPRB)

X-Ray SPRB: Industry Group: Biotechnology, Market Cap: 4.97M, Float: 0.47M Short Interest 0.06%, Days to Cover: 0.03, Exchange: NASDAQ

U.S. FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) to tralesinidase alfa enzyme replacement therapy (TA‑ERT) for Sanfilippo Syndrome Type B (MPS IIIB). Tiny market cap, tiny float. Moving on heavy volume. Strange chart. Could have a ridiculous move, trade with caution.

Market Awareness

Big gap up here again. I’m cautious on new exposure. But AMD is up 35% pre market so….hard to be bearish. Just going to keep it simple. Trimming winners still and watching for new setups. No FOMO at all here. I have some top performing names and the ones I don’t have are long gone now.
