Walmart trading slightly below the 132.46 cup-with-handle buy point... above that buy point that's where you can act. Walmart is clearly distinct from other retailers. Yes, things are going well. WMT…

Nvidia... it's an amazing performance, incredible. If you buy at 197-200 you have a buffer. Earnings line is way up. The PE is reasonable at 28x given the growth. It really looks like maybe it's acce…

Home Depot... there's no thesis to buy. We can see this downtrend. Big-ticket and housing-related stuff, it's an intersection of retail and housing, frankly both performing badly right now.

Analog Devices is one of the first real analog chip makers to move back in November when they said they're joining AI... revenue growth is accelerating. Yes it's extended but anyone who bought at a r…

Qnity (Quantum)... actually a DuPont spinoff. Performing pretty well, broke out early then broke out again now in buy zone. The market is excited for a reason. It's in buy zone so well worth watching…

Applied Materials is one of the slow-to-report chip-equipment makers... the consolidating base, technically actionable pre-earnings, RS line is high. Why should investors buy AMAT instead of Lam Rese…

Lumentum... if you look at the daily, you can pretty much buy it right now... it's almost immediately effective. It broke the downtrend in this tight action. But earnings are coming up soon.

Intel... you can definitely hold on, this has been a very fast move. The best time to buy was probably when it broke above 49 or 50, near the 50-day line. But even so, it kept running. CPU demand is …

Freeport-McMoRan... this one looks pretty good. Cup base, 69.75 buy point. If you think the global economy isn't going to take too much of a hit, you understand this. Very V-shaped action. If it can …

So you could buy it here and it hasn't really moved since the gap up.

if chips are generally winners, Taiwan Semi should be a winner. It may not be the winner. It may not be the biggest one, but it seems like a relatively safe bet in that regard.

This is outperforming even Goldman Sachs at least in the short run. Uh so yeah definitely definitely looking strong

So, it's already in my view in a buy zone.

the relative strength line is at highs. But right now it's extended. So acting very well. You can certainly hold this if you own it.

buying it off the 50-day line can make a lot of sense because you look over the past year, there's been a few breakouts and sometimes it moves up and then it falls back... the 50-day line has been pr…

the technicals aren't aren't signaling that this is the leader right now... maybe this will go sideways for a couple months you know more months

It's still doing all that. There is some concern like Novo Nordisk with its oral drug that that has done well... this is still holding up well for those who bought that recent breakout. Either one of…

If you have a decent gain on this, no problem... it's acting well. The RS line is hitting new highs. If it weren't for earnings, this would be a buy right now... it's holding up well. It's in the buy…

Presumably the results will be strong... GE Vernova does have lumpy earnings... but very strong. The question is how much stronger can you get if you've already got orders in through 2028.

Tesla... that's the one that seems to be uh well situated to capitalize on continued um AI data center uh uh energy needs and and being able to store uh energy for for those facilities.

When you're looking at the SMRs, the uh the kind of emerging advanced nuclear technology companies... it seems probable that they will continue to perform strongly. Whether they perform to kind of th…

this is going to continue to be a tailwind for GE Vernova, uh, Simmons Energy... probably not going to uh dissipate in 2026

The money center banks have tended to outperform the regional banks because of that capital market stuff, that investment banking, the M&A, IPOs... the earnings have been solid maybe supposed to slow…

Broadcom is the growth is supposed to accelerate for EPS and it would be the second straight quarter of accelerating growth on revenue. So seeing that pick up.

fashion is fickle. And this was doing much better than a lot of other names. And now it is lagging. It just, this is not, the consumer does not, consumer space, consumer discretionary, it does not se…

there's just real concerns that there's a bit of a squeeze and out of favor. So, yeah, it needs to repair. It needs to, it probably needs to set up again.

If you didn't sell some on the way up, you definitely should have sold some on the way down. And I think now below the 50-day line, that's really a lot of losses... this looks pretty heavily damaged …

I think this is acting very well... it could definitely provide a buying opportunity. It's like a high handle to this huge consolidation. So that much tighter 11% after this really up and down... nic…

I still have a decent position in gold ETFs like the GLD and the IAU. It became a huge bet in my portfolio because it just has done so well... I sold some gold... it's way too big of a position

there's a lot to like about this chart, and I would argue that this is actually giving you kind of an early entry rather than wait for 1015. Um it feels like there's kind of a lower area of uh a resi…

I would argue that this is actually giving you kind of an early entry rather than wait for 1015.

I I do have a position here. Um but this did look very strong today. Uh we added it to swing trader. I bought it after the 30 minute uh restriction period

I bought it after the 30 minute uh restriction period, but it came up above that 259.24

Earnings growth is expected to slow down a little bit but still be really strong... revenue growth is supposed to pick up slightly. It's still just doing really well. It's also just so consistent in …

it's not it wouldn't shock anybody if this not it wouldn't shock anybody if this not it wouldn't shock anybody if this continues to go up, uh, cuz that AI continues to go up, uh, cuz that AI continue…

Credo has been growing just like crazy... definitely one of the big winners over the last several months... anybody who owns it... can let that one ride. This is what we talk sometimes we talk about …

Well, it was a nice bounce off the 50-day line. Look, if it weren't for earnings coming up, that would have been actionable... existing holders from any decent buy point are in good shape here.

This has been a stellar performer... it does feel like they're getting contracts. It does feel like they are a winner in all of this... Palantir is really cashing in on a lot of what governments are …

Their two biggest customers are Microsoft and Meta. They are pretty bullish on capital spending in general. Capital spending plans on AI seem to be very hot... another one that's looking really stron…

It's not just that AMD's chips are seen maybe as competitive, but also other companies want to make sure they're not just reliant on Nvidia... next year is supposed to be pretty strong. It just seems…

Really strong growth. Really strong growth. It's the latest new America... this is a hot stock. Everything seems to be going very well with this company.

It's definitely improved... rebounded a little bit like Nvidia which had gone sideways for quite a while. Microsoft went sideways came back and now has roared back showing again as AI returns.

the second half of 2025 is uh uh expected to be pretty uh strong right along with the with the first half here. So I think u you know overall the market looks good

I think it's a fourdigit stock maybe even by the end of the year.

I think it's a fourdigit stock maybe even by the end of the year.

It's acting well. It's got an RS line blue dot which means it's at a new high and when that happens as it's breaking out really positive. Volume has been strong... when it blew by 55 that was a place…

There's a long consolidation that it could be sort of getting out of getting above 82... if you bought at 77.58, you want to keep on going so you get a good enough cushion... it'd be great if it coul…

This is doing very well... shifted at least on an adjusted basis towards profitability and there should be tremendous growth at least in the short run... a lot to like about this name in terms of the…

Travels is in real trouble... business travel slowing down, government travel slowing down. There's just a lot of things, a lot of headwinds right now for airlines and travel.

this one's setting up. This one is one of the best looking stocks out there... it's one of the top performers right now

this isn't the chart of a stock we would necessarily want to buy... So even if things are better than expected, it just seems like there's a lot of headwinds on something like this... not seem like t…

The demand is strong... they should be going full board with the Nvidia chips. There's other chips that they're making for Apple and Broadcom. The demand is strong.

This is sort of like somebody who's like an Olympic diver who just does the spin looks beautiful because the base looked great the breakout looked perfect... it's just basically belly flopping. This …

you can see a long slide for these names it goes on many runs but has not it keeps on having lower low it's generally had lower lows and especially lower highs

there's a lot of positive backdrop for J.P. Morgan... this is acting well... this one has generally been seen as one of the better run big banks... that RELA strength line, it's been improving for th…

it may be reasonable to assume that apple stock could move five percent to six percent higher over the next month

that's that's why i just think this is more of a trading rally and not and not the start of something that's going to last for a long period of time

i call it a bear market rally call it a correction call whatever you want but i think we are in a very tough market

i almost feel like you've been looking at my portfolio justin because i do own this this stock too ... this one's hanging in there i do like that it's been going sideways for a few weeks it's putting…

Salesforce has also formed a consolidation base. And a lot of times when a stock goes through a period of price compression like it's been doing, it then experiences a breakout.

in situations like this, where there's a base setting up, there's typically a good chance that the stock will break out from this area at some point.

you could probably treat this as an early entry it's a long-term leader you could argue that this is a good place to enter a long-term leader anyway

this could easily break out over the next several days

We had talked about UNH earlier and saying, this is a long-term leader. Again, this is still to me still actionable... this is something that still looks pretty actionable right now.

The target that we can derive from this breakout in particular is about 31.20 and that's based on a measured move which really just assumes the trajectory of the current trend will maintain itself.

we're now seeing strength in semiconductor stocks amid expectations for a turnaround in the chip industry cycle... SMH is trading solidly at all-time highs. It also remains in buyer range

I think that what gold is doing is shoring up the foundations for a move higher. And it's important to remember also that we're just moving into what is typically the strongest six months of the year…

So I think it bodes well for emerging markets, not necessarily to be a source of great leadership globally... but rather to finally participate in what I think is a global rally.
