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: Bullish
Commentary: Looking at the indices. There is still nothing wrong despite some natural pullback last week.
Of course yields remain an issue, Oil looks bullish (which we don’t like) and maybe the Dollar has found a short term bottom.
That being said we just need to monitor how our trades are following through and whether new setups are proliferating and following through. For the moment I would say that this is the case. We are also seeing new leadership in areas like Crypto, Biotech and Materials/Metals.
Yields are a concern of course. The actual intricacies of this stuff is totally over my head. I just monitor the price and also watch if the VIX can get some legs. If not then proceed as normal.
The big earnings this week is Wednesday evening with NVDA as the main attraction followed by CRM and CRWD as market movers. I actually see a lot of potential earnings setups this week which is nice. In terms of priority. NVDA, AFRM, DLTR and RBRK are top watches. The rest of my highlights are below.
On the macro front we have Core PCE before the open on Wednesday and Warsh speech on Friday. Making Wednesday overall an important day in the markets.
Right now I’m focusing on setups, not trying to overthink it and not getting my head turned with crypto moves etc. I’m seeing brilliant follow through on names this months so just keep it simple and wait for my setup. Day One Catalysts & Shoryuken Delayed Entry Setup. That’s it.
