| Morning! Ken, volume up | Taken care of! |
| A few months back, David Ryan gave an analysis of DIS and its undercut of levels going back to 2020. He suggested the stock may be ready to move higher--and has it ever! My question is, does he think TSLA may be making a similar move after undercutting the Aug 2024 bottom? |
it only undercut a 6 month base, so I would expect a very big move. It also has to get a lot more volume. |
| Can we take a look @ MELI | live answered |
| Good morning, team! Nice to see you again, David(s)! | Thank you so much Barbara! |
| GM If Dave is the Hatman, is Ed the Catman? | Heh. |
| Is there a good place to get isider buying? thx | Ah, well, if you focus on a few stocks, just check out the SEC filings! |
| The last time I looked at "Stock Checkup", AMD was ranked #1 and NVDA was ranked #3. Why would AMD be ranked above NVDA? | No idea! Keep in mind, Stock Checkup can rank multiple stocks No. 1. Which one is the true No. 1. I cannot tell. Great Q, Robert. https://research.investors.com/stock-checkup/ |
| RIOT moving on earnings yesterday and premarket? | I suspect RIOT is largely moving on Bitcoin price, which is soaring. |
| View on CAVA | live answered |
| I've got TREX via Leaderboard. Woohoo! | Awesome!! Yay!! https://leaderboard.investors.com/#/leaders/leadersnearabuypoint |
| Ken mentioned VVV in a previous show. VVV had a nice breakout, perhaps he could take a peak for us again. | live answered |
| GM ALL | Thanks for joining us! |
| Tickers today? | live answered |
| GM! COIN | live answered |
| GM - can we have some discussion on IPO lock up expiration and scenarios to handle based on cushion. We can use ARM where lock up expiration happening in March | GM Praveen. We need to keep on top of the news, the SEC filings to find out exact dates. What will Masayoshi Son do? |
| METC , Path | Hi Syeda, I own shares in METC, encouraged by AMR's earnings and Ramaco's retaking of the 50-day line. |
| Check out SOUN. AI play that has rocketed in the last two days. | This feels like speculation, reminds me a little of C3.ai (AI), does it not? Not the fundamental leader. |
| Good morning stock operators!!! | Thanks Brian! GM! |
| is it safer to view CAVA on daily being closer to its MA or wait when weekly is closer since its newer? | live answered |
| How about that Bitcoin!! | Still strong! |
| Yes NVDA GPU rocks | What an iconic product. |
| Marketsmith is a SaaS application. The performance issue is your back end not your browser | Thanks Michael. Truly, the memory cache in my Dell laptop is limited. |
| David: it's time to upgrade i7 16 core cpu | Will ask the NewsCorp Tech team, thank you JP! |
| Use Safari!!!  | Or FF! |
| Good Morning. Would like to present my question from yesterday, and that is how do you treat WMT post split from a technical perspective? Thks. Lionel McCauley | Personally, I don't think it's an issue. We adjust the chart prices for the split, as most people do, so it doesn't mess up technical analysis. Back in the day, having multiple splits often could suggest topping action but you just don't see that many splits anymore. |
| Is GE still on the rise? | For now, it has an amazing uptrend intact. It's held its 21-day line since the beginning of November. |
| will our alerts keep from marketsmith to marketsurge | Yes, they should port over. |
| The name is changing to MarketSurge - But are there any feature changes that you can preview? | Yes. We're adding the earnings line, David Ryan's ant indicator, 4 quarters of sales and earnings estimates and improved intraday volume calc. Plenty more to come. |
| David are you interested in stocks like PANW, ie good fundamentals, good long term prospects, short term head winds with overreaction on downside. | Yes, Longer term the group and the stock should be good |
| I don't use much Reddit, but my teeanger son and all his friends do - all the time! | Teenager son? |
| Chris - Where do you do Anchored VWOP - not Market Surge | Brian Shannon, a frequent guest and a big proponent, uses TC2000. Fidelity and some other platforms also have the indicator as well. |
| David, I'm heading to Vegas this Sunday to watch the Nadal-Alcaraz exhibition... also being streamed live on NFLX | That should be a great match. I am going to the BNP tournament in the desert next week. |
| Chris....my queestion above was re: changes to MktSmth/Surge..... | Hi Barry, send us an email at marketsmith@investors.com, we will answer any Q on MarketSurge, thanks! |
| FOUR oddily closing its opening gap down on earnings misses, seems to be getting a mild pass. | Not sure why... |
| Why is Marketsmith going away? Is the old Marketsmith going to compete against MarketSurge? | No, renaming and we are adding some features, but mostly the same platform and features |
| LI - nice trade Chris - congrats! | Thanks. I'll be patient on building it. |
| David Ryan's take on ARM please. | extended and needs to base |
| With commissions pretty much a thing of the past, it's easier (and cheaper) to move in and out of positions. Mightn't this be a factor contributing to the increased volatility in markets in recent years? | Yes! |
| Justin, where is the VWAP within Fidelity? | When I pull up a quote, I go to research and then hit Chart + tab. A lot of indicators at your disposal there. |
| David, your small 100 shares in Panw is coming back!! | I added back to it shortly after the drop. |
| What is David doing with ELF? | still staying with it, but looking for a reversal to start cutting the position |
| IBB/BIB- larger biotech, more consolidated XBI/LABU - smaller cap, more companies | I prefer XBI. IBB has too many big positions in laggards. |
| Can I get what program Chris uses for VWAP? | TC2000. |
| SMCI is holding off the shorts, what a bounce at 814 | SMCI seems like a leveraged NVDA play right now. |
| What happened to TREX? Don't see any news. | OOF! I don't see any news. |
| What is David Ryan's thoughts on WFRD as it gets tight, but trades on thin side? | seems to be setting up after coming out of 102, but it is not getting any help from the group |
| Where do I find the IBD Live Ready List? | At investors.com/ibdlive, we have recent shows. Next to each show will add a recap. That recap includes a link to a file with the edited Q&A *and* the IBD Live Ready and Watch lists. |
| Can we hear what DR thinks of AMD? | still basing needs to break out |
| please discuss why STRL is moving up while group mate PWR is not doing well today. Is there a competitive aspect | STRL is surging on earnings. PWR already surged on earnings ... and is continuing to climb. I honestly don't know if the businesses overlap so much. |
| DR talked about ONON a lot last year. What's his take now? | live answered |
| Yikes Ken's mike volume very low | Thanks for letting us know! We're aware and trying to address. |
| Transferring fat from the belly to the face? | Maybe a new service! |
| NVO in late stage base? | live answered |

| Is Powell Industries a high tight flag? | live answered |
| Good morning gents, if there is time, pls add XP to the lightning round, thank you! | Hi Peter! Earnings will certainly be key! I have a teeny weeny position, and sold a long-term call way out of the money to earn some quick income. But I'd like to see evidence of heavy institutional buying return. |
| TY, David! | live answered |
| Some smaller biotechs, still losing money, but reported earnings and pipeline status, are looking good: crsp, arvn (protein degradation), verv (in vivo gene editing) | live answered |
| Regarding the IBD staff members participation, approximately what would be the dollar amount invested in a stock breaking out of a strong pattern in a bull market? | It's all about your own account. If I have strong conviction about a stock in a good market I will open a 10% position or even larger. |
| TPG for lightening round | live answered |
| pcor | live answered |
| In the airline industry Boeing has problems! | live answered |
| Thoughts on SSD? | live answered |
| How does DUOL look to you right now as an earnings option play? (For those with conviction in the name) Announcement is due tomorrow in the PM. | Broke a downtrend line and looks great on the 30 min where it's breaking above the Bollinger band. Seems like a good bet. |
| A year ago I never would've considered watching a 1-min or 5-min chart, but your discussions about not buying until it passes the high of the 5-min bar finally got me to pay attention and now I'm a convert. This has saved me from the anguish of situations like TREX. IBD Live is a subscription that has more than paid for itself, both in creating gains and preventing losses in my portfolio. Cheers! |
Great to hear. |
| FOUR massive reversal higher | Impressive comeback. Seems like it needs to get to at least the old buy point of 76.51 to be actionable. Messy chart. |
| CFLT thoughts ? | It's one I'm watching. |
| thank you for finally covering FOUR Chris..... | Glad we got to it. |
| FOUR has a terrific sales team and understands their customers..... to each his own | live answered |
| I'm super appreciative to know that getting shaken out too many times (and then being gun-shy of a stock because of that) is a normal emotion that even the IBD experts have to struggle with. Thank you for your frankness on that. | Some stocks are just too tough for me to hold. |
