Q&A Summary

Question Answer
ALAB - A Flagpole on the Weekly ? I don't think anyone mentioned it on IBD Live yesterday so is it ? I think it meets all the criteria ( up from 88 to 183 ) and big volume. So, now it needs to settle in a tight range for a flag ?? I agree. Looking good.
giddy meter 9+ ? 11 LOL
I know it's been asked but what is the name of that song and who sings it can't find when searching Jetstream is the title. I've looked and I can no longer find it on Spotify.
TOST - looks like it is moving back up. Keep a position ? live answered
BROS live answered
Arnie GM - do you still like RBRK and ZS here - did not like FTNT move after earnings Gm... Yes. RBRK I watching it very closely
BROS on FIRE live answered
Good morning! What were Arnie and Rachels tickers? Googl for me and CSCO for Rachel
DASH up VST down. Earnings are such a crap shoot Yep.
APP DUOL - both show re-accel in Sales and EPS growth live answered
Ed - TSLA - still watching or actionable? I think you need a decisive move above 50-day/200-day line to hit a trendline entry. https://www.investors.com/news/tesla-stock-nears-buy-point-on-elon-musks-full-self-driving-improvement-hints/
CROX getting slammed live answered
Would you guys hold DDOG going into earnings? DDOG reported this morning! https://www.investors.com/news/technology/datadog-stock-datadog-earnings-ddog-stock-q22025/
VST live answered
VST-wow! What's causing this? And Good am team!!! live answered
does goog or googl perform better? I don't think there's much difference - GOOGL is the more liquid name I believe.
VST nice upside reversal live answered
BROS back! live answered
ESLT trades under 150 K per day live answered
HOOD breaking above a slope line and Tuesday's high. live answered
Arnie, thoughts on AS here? I have a postion ... very frustratiing . I have deep convicition on the comapny story
Hi Arnie! Can you repeat what you said, referring to Elbit: you want at a break out to get the +5% in 6 days? Have I understood well? I wont hold a stock if throgh eanrnings unless I have a 5-10 % profit coushin. That is a rule of mine
APP is one of the choppiest stocks intraday… good luck with that one live answered
HOOD is also taking off live answered
Check out DUOL volume live answered
VST POWER! Lol live answered
Thoughts on BROS. Gap up after earning holding well. live answered
VST earnings line flat to down live answered
CELH gap up today - energy is hot including the drinks lol live answered
Thoughts on BROS. Thx live answered
DUOL live answered
Can we look at CROX live answered
Any thoughts on FI? Big, big decline with several sharp sell-offs. Needs a lot of repair work.
APP really took off live answered
Your take on ALAB after yesterdays big move - Flagpole ? Yes, looks like a flag pole to me… now we just need the flag :)
"Regarding TOST and other potential buys.
Would you not recommend waiting until after amateur hour 9:30 to 10:30 am?" It depends. Sometimes a stock can get up and out of position within a few mintues. That's why we like scaling in vs going in all at once. It depends on the stock, market conditions, a trader's conviction, etc. and how aggressive they want
to be. No harm in waiting either if that works for a trader's risk management approach
BROS live answered
APP top stock today, b/o w/no volume Volume is massive.
DUOL live answered
CW Beat on Earnings and Revenue and raised future guidance. Down Bigly???? live answered
CROX down big today live answered
Why are the "current" prices wrong in Swingtrader? Did you try refreshing the page/your browser cache?
ALAB? live answered
Look at BROS live answered
DKNG is pulling back live answered
Ed, pls take a look at CELH with panel. Thanks live answered
CVNA, making a turn after earnings reaction? live answered
APP still going! live answered
SHOP following up with yesterdays gap up Looks like a hold here. I own it
DASH has closed the gap Volatile morning for sure
BROS live answered
Could all these gaps be exhaustion gaps? Only time will tell! If they hold — normal for a powerful bull market like in the lae 1990s
Thoughts on DASH Volatile morning
arnie, would you pls share your criteria? thx Check out our YouTube channel, we have a video on Arnie's checklist
I thought the general recommendation is not to buy a stock with a composite rating of less than 85. That rule seems to be ignored in these discussions. Is it no longer considered relevant? It depends on a trader's style. For me, the higher the better because I'm trying to hold for a bigger move. For more speculative swing traders, it's less important.
NVDA Full disclosure I own it. Looks like a hold here, extended from buy point.
Earnings roulette: I sold PLTR and BROS right before earnings "to play it safe". I'm wondering if I held it through earnings if both would have crashed?! It's always a crapshoot. That's why I always hedge going into earnings.
NFLX what would you look for if you wanted to get into this one? I want to see it get back above the 50-day.
CELH Shorts may be in trouble!!! 20.2% of flow shorted. Note its Significant Sales Growth! That is a big reversal!
PLTR Looking solid and holding near highs even as the market pulled back.
Did we talk about DASH, giving some back now Volatile morning, be careful out there folks
WLDN please? Fantastic move since it broke out in May. Earnings after the close. If I owned it I would be hedging it with puts.
Can we take a look at $OLLI? Holding above the 21-day. Looks like a hold.
Bros live answered
these thin stocks like AGX, VEEV and ESLT are just brutal on rough days. That's why I always look at the 1 min chart. If it is thin and gappy, I pass on the stock.
Arnie why isn't AS moving? Ed here - maybe RL is hurting. Also, outside chips and a few techs and earnings winners, the market isn't doing that well.
Good morning! Dash had a good earnings report but looks like it's given back the gain. live answered
CELH +21.22% Short Squeeze. live answered
CEG and VST live answered
Can you comment on the recent Trump order regarding 401k/iras that allows the addition of bitcoin or other e-currencies? Would you invest in IBIT or other etfs based on this? I've been in IBIT since 4/22.
What's happening to cybersecurity? live answered
GM Ed, what do you think about CVNA. Thank you, Darrell live answered
Anyone know why the cybersecurity stocks (CRWD, ZS, RBRK, PANW etc.) selling off? Thanks, Mauro Well, FTNT is getting crushed. And outside of chips, a lot of the market isn't doing well.
DASH earnings move? Has reversed live answered
CRWV please Needs to take the 21 day
Has AS been talked about yet? live answered
when would you add to a good position uber? Setting up a trendline entry but I don't like the lagging relative strength lately
HOOD - making a move out of the flag Indeed. I bought a little.
"Do you have any thoughts on the TSSI sell off?
IBD HAD EARNING LIST AS 8/20" It's always a good idea to confirm with a company's investor relations site.
Can you comment on PGY, great open then faded Still up a lot but yes, well off highs.
Does history suggest major pullbacks occur on any particular day of the week? That's not something I'm familiar with us studying
