QA Summary
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Good Morning, CAN-SLIM Champions | Good morning Shane!! |
| Are we getting bulled up? Are we getting giddy? | The giddy meter isn't running today, but I suspect the reading would be high! |
| Good morning IBD crew! Happy Thursday! | Good morning Kimberlee! |
| Good Morning all!! | Good morning! |
| Insect infestation starting on CELH. Thoughts | Haha, well at least one! Strong accumulation on right side of base. Mild low vol pullback from here would be perfect. |
| Good Morning IBD Live Team | Good morning Sanjay! |
| We shjoud be in market uptrend right? | Yes, we are! :) |
| good morning. from san jose | Good morning from LA! |
| OSCR? extended or still a buy?? Thanks. :) | Under serious accumulation but way too extended. Would consider after mild pullback to 10-day line. |
| Good morning everyone! | Good morning Payam! |
| GM, Great is monday (MNDY) in a good position? | Pretty darn strong after gap up. Could see swing trade with stop below Wednesday's low. Others will wait for some tight sideways trading. |
| When it turn to uptrend ? Yesterdy right? | Finally an official follow through for the Nasdaq composite, up 1.4% in higher volume. No follow through for S&P 500 due to lower volume. |
| SMCI - look who also popped above the 50d. | Nice move for NOW Wednesday as well |
| Private: Ali- Ed seems to be in "Show speaker" mode again | Fixed — thank you, Fred!! |
| The "orthodox" should be happy now (but perhaps a little behind the "swingers". 😆 | I see what you did there LOL good one Douglas |
| GM from Cape Cod. | Good morning! |
| We are stepping into Utilities on the sector rotaion chart and the one word I thinkof is RECESSION | It's a yellow flag for sure. Did you see Vidya's story yesterday? |
| https://www.investors.com/research/artificial-intelligence-ai-utility-stocks/ | |
| CELH has an accumulation Ant | Good base forming post earnings. I was a little concerned to hear that the company warn of ongoing inventory fluctuations. |
| Gooooog Morning IBD Live - Happy Trading. Please repeat the opening stocks | LEN, MU, NOW |
| Tickers please | LEN, MU, NOW |
| Good morning. Where can I find Ready & Watch list. Can't see it on FAQ. | They are posted next to the recording of each show. They are also in MarketSurge under the reports section. |
| I mentioned yesterday that on Tuesday a director of CPNG bought almost 1 million shares, a huge percentage of the daily volume. The stock did nothing yesterday but is up 2.25% at the open and looks pretty darn good. | Agree. Moving on UBS note, upgrade to buy from neutral. |
| G'morning everyone, Jacob in LA, Brad in San Jose, from Ken in Fremont. :-) | live answered |
| Justin does your list includes the ETFs? Also does MarketSurge Nasdaq comp volume includes them too? | Yes it does! Makes it a little interesting too when you consider that QQQ had the second highest dollar volume yesterday. Nvidia was first. |
| GM, Mike - on ST, when we close slower movers for larger movers in a bull market, are you using Beta to pick the new candidates? Thanks - Appreciate you! | I don't use Beta (long story) but I use the 3 month RS and ATRs along with some other things |
| Thank you Jacob.- Will you explain step by step where to find reports? | Open the bottom list panel in MarketSurge - in the left side of the bottom panel, you'll see "reports". Please give us a phone call (800-831-2525) or send us an email at MarketSurge (marketsurge@investors.com) if you need help. |
| It was a follow-through day yesterday, right? | Yes |
| Thanks, Mike. We need to talk more about ATR sometime, based on what we have in MarketSurge or even TOS. I am having difficulty applying ATR to the charts and selections. Thank you again! | I am working on an IBD ATR rank...it will take a bit of time to get it right...once I have it done we'll add it to MarketSurge |
| ttd breaking out | Thanks. |
| How about a earnings call on NVDA? | That's always a risk, but recent buyers have a chance to build enough of a profit cushion to take that risk. My biggest winner this year, got back in it a few weeks ago and have been adding, already starting to get a decent cushion but we'll see what happens over the next few days |
| harold how can i hedge nvda with a etf | I would short SMH or buy NVDS |
| Ohana, NVDA and Dell have event Mon-Thurs, is that a tell of sots? The timing of it? | Not necessarily as those things often are planned very far in advance. Those two stocks are acting great. I own NVDA. |
| Thanks. Will call | Sounds good!! |
| DAKT | It has a base after a nice prior uptrend. The earnings and sales growth have been slowing though. |
| How would you screen for Up/Down volume on Market Surge | In the Price & Volume category item #28 allows you enter screening criteria for Up/Down |
| Hi Ed, anymore economic data we need to be concerned about in the next few days? | Not a whole lot in the next few days. |
| thoughts on crbg? | Great gap up! Industry Group, Earnings Growth and Sales Growth all look a bit low though. |
| Mike- Just throwing an idea out. Have you ever considered adding "partner industry group correlations" to MarketSurge? At one level, it could be something like "these industry groups move or contrary with AI, manufacturing, oil, etc.". At another level, their could be a numerical strength of the correlation between group indexes. |
Funny you mention that, Fred. It's something we are studying right now. We've got some interesting ideas for an industry group overhaul and ways to identify those correlations across different industry groups. |
| CRS | Lots of strengths, but sales have slowed quite a bit. No pattern right now. |
| LLY has a super important FDA comittee mtg for their Alheimers drug on June 10. This will be the most watched drug approval mtg of the year. | Agreed. |
| Make sure to Watch/Listen to today's drop of "Investing with IBD." Justin (the Saint) has a terrific conversation with Katie (the technican) Stockton. | Thanks, Peter. Loved having her on and great to hear how other people dive into the technical action. |
| DKNG | live answered |
| MLM dropping badly | Yeah, looked like it might have been setting up. Rough day. |
| Apollo Global Mngt | |
| APO seems to have formed a flat base yes/no? | MS has it as a Flat Base! Also, 9/9 on the O'Neil checklist. |
| SMCI made a big move yesterday. | Yes! and made its way above the 50-day! |
| Ed, is there any news on SWAV? This is an incredibly tight daily chart?? | It's being acquired by J&J. |
| HUBS - Hubspot? | Not bad over the last year, but in the loss zone now. |
| What is the ticker symbol for the Mute Jar? LOL | Haha. |
| 123/156 | live answered |
| What's going on with CPRT? | Pretty good fundametals here. Forming a new base but getting some resistance at 50-day line. |
| Trade the stocks you know. Great comment Webby | That's a Peter Lynch thing that I've been using since 1995 |
| WING | Such a strong stock! |
| I registered for the Swing Trader webinar but could not attend. I still have not received a link to see the recording. Can someone please share a link? Thanks | https://www.investors.com/ibd-videos/videos/a-new-approach-to-swing-trading |
| PAGS is the payment play | I find Brazil stocks in general tough to trade. |
| PDD? | I would call this limping past a buy point. Not exactly a powerful breakout but still could work. |
| Can you explain Ants again please | Momentum - The stock is up at least 12 of the past 15 days. |
| Volume - The volume has increased over the past 15 days by 20% to 25%. | |
| Price - The price is up at least 20% over the past 15 days. | |
| NTAP with A+ A/D | Yep, and in the pivot zone. |
| FORM .... thoughts, anyone? | Just makes one wonder whether it is the best idea in the industry group. |
| AFRM got support at 200 day | Yes! Its been holding up there! |
| MMYT | Down today, but a lot of strong characteristics. |
| Justin or Mike - Could you do a more in depth educational segment or podcast on the SUFB and PUFB concept? Would like more details on this concept with examples, thanks! | Sure...maybe on a future podcast |
| How bout MELI | It has a nice 7/9 on the O'Neil checklist. The group is pretty average, though. |
| Thoughts on MSFT? | Looks strong, but the industry group is quite weak. |
| How about SN? | Its been on a great run. There is no pattern now though. |
| ALAB above $75 | Not a lot of history to go off of, but the last two quarters EPS & sales look good. |
| MLM | Still just a stage 2! |
| TTD? | Not bad. It would be nice to see EPS growth pick up. |
| Whats the ticker on Apollo? | APO |
| FUTU? ELF? | ELF is still gowing earnings and sales well. |
| GOOG best fang here | It has been looking good. |
| Have a beautiful day everyone | You too! |
| Another excellent one Rachel | Agreed! |
| Webby, are we goiong on margin on ST? | A litte right now |
| May 3 was my birthday so I was buying | That's why the market was up!! Happy belated birthday, Phil. Lots of May birthdays! |
