NASDAQ:META Meta's Resilience: A Bullish Case Amidst Market Turmoil While many tech giants face headwinds, Meta has been a standout performer. Despite the looming threat of a recession, I remain optimistic about the company's long-term prospects. Meta's AI-driven ad platform has proven to be remarkably sticky, even in challenging economic conditions. As...

NASDAQ:NVDA NASDAQ:QQQ TVC:VIX NVDA: A Looming Breakout or Breakdown? Nvidia (NVDA) has been on a rollercoaster ride lately, with its stock price exhibiting significant volatility.

NASDAQ:NVDA NVDA has been making headlines recently, with a significant bounce off support in the mid-90s and a successful breach of both the 100 and 50-day moving averages. This technical bullishness was further reinforced by the strong demand and growing penetration of AI into various markets. However, the post-earnings retreat below the 50-day moving...

NASDAQ:SBUX , NYSE:CMG , NYSE:YUM This 24% jump in SBUX stock as a result of recent news of them hiring Brian Niccol seems a bit excessive. Sure he is a wonderful CEO and he has made significant improvements in both companies he has run, but this situation seems significantly different. With NYSE:CMG he was able to trim the fat and cut all costs...

NASDAQ:TSLA I'm torn on Tesla (TSLA). While I believe Elon Musk is a visionary leader, the stock's short-term outlook appears challenging. Increased pressure from Chinese manufacturers like BYD and broader macroeconomic headwinds make a bullish picture difficult. Tesla is more than just an automaker, with tailwinds from its energy storage, self-driving,...

Despite strong earnings, same-store sales, and electronic sales growth, and a dynamic inventory selection, concerns about a potential recession have weighed on the stock. Key Developments: Recently dropped below the 100-day Moving Average (MA) ...

This pattern resembles a head and shoulders formation, and a neckline break could at least trigger a retest of the 200-day MA. Key Developments: Uptrend channel breached. Retested bottom of previous channel, failed to break...

ANF's Recent Pullback and Future Outlook ANF has experienced a significant pullback from its all-time highs after its most recent earnings report. This trend isn't unique to ANF, as even Lululemon (LULU), a market leader, has seen a drawdown since the year's beginning. However, I believe ANF's current rise is likely a short-term bounce, not a sustained...

NASDAQ:META Although the macro environment is starting to look more negative for the equity market, I believe this to be one of the outliers that may still have some room to run. Recent earnings showed a modest increase in spending designated for AI, which was a worry of mine going into earning with Zuckerberg's track record of overspending. They seem...

NASDAQ:AAPL It's really starting to feel like AAPL is getting ahead of itself here. Sure, their recent earnings report looked decent, but I think some big takeaways are the decrease in China sales and decrease in iPhone sales. Sure, their services revenue will continue to increase and their buyback props up the stock, but there has been no true...

NASDAQ:NVDA On July 17th, NVDA broke out of a symmetrical triangle formation. Based on this, the current price target is $96. NDVA recently broke below its 50-day MA, which was then retested and failed to break above. Given the current macro environment and high market fear, I am looking to hold off until the price target is reached before considering...

On the macro side of things it seems like the dreaded stagflation scenario is more likely than not. With GDP slowing, inflation persisting and unemployment creeping up the overall economic outlook doesn't seem great. Add in the overseas tensions with two active wars and China seeming to increase aggressive talks on Taiwan, it would make any normal person hesitant...

Overall market: Last week the market was all over the place, originally falling due to META, but then bounced after MSFT and GOOG earning. It seems tensions in the middle east are going to continue and any bad news can have a significant impact on the market. In addition inflation seems to be stickier than previously anticipated and higher rates for longer...

ANF has been on an absolute tear. Is it warranted?? Yes, their earning have drastically improved, but is this growth sustainable with continued increases in credit default rates?

AMD vs. NVDA: When looking at these two stocks it's clear that NVDA is the clear winner and will maintain its pricing power over alternatives. NVDA's Gross margin (75.97%) is +35.57% that of AMD (40.4%). Although AMD has a low price to sales ratio this is likely due to them having a "Walmart sales model". High volume, low margin. This is illustrated...

Like many other stocks AAPL has been on a sharp rise up since testing its 200 day MA. After testing the 200 day MA AAPL has broken out of a descending wedge to the upside. My conservative price target was $196 which was $2 short of its all time high. Momentum has started to slow and it is looking like AAPL is ready to retest its 200 day. Negative divergence...

NYSE:CMG Year to date Chipotle is on an absolute tear. As of writing this post, it is up 58% YTD totaling +$848 per share. Due to its share price, it has a low daily trading volume and wide bid-ask spread making it a more risky trade. Since 10/25/23 it has been on a straight line up after retesting the 200-day moving average. RSI is currently at 80.77...
