Q&A Summary
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Private: FYI- Didn't see a recap email for yesterday. | Fred, we resent the email and I just got it. Thanks for letting us know. |
| Private: FYI- Didn't see a recap email for yesterday. | One was sent, passed along to customer service for investigation |
| good Morning, no more emails for us customers to start the chat? | Are you talking about a reminder email that said IBD Live is starting soon? |
| Hi. I am no longer receiving the daily reminder by email for IBD Live and Monday it was impossible to log into Monday's show. | Please call IBD Customer Srevice at 800-831-2525 |
| Tickers Please? | GLD, GDX, PLTR bull put spread |
| sound problems or just me | Sounds fine on my end. Try leaving and rejoining |
| power trend buying gold seems sad | Gold can trend when market trends, not just a flight-to-safety play. |
| apparently lots of people don't get their emails | Can you give more detail about what email you are referring to — morning reminder email? Recap email later in the day? |
| morning email for starting the live chat | Reporting this for investigation. Thank you! |
| What is suggested for handling stocks that reach the breakout area but suddenly go sideways for days or weeks. How long should you hold out for a positive move? | Well, if the stock is stair-stepper - slow, gradual advancer, this action might be "normal." Also, if the market is pausing - like it is the past few days - seeing stocks pause around buy points is normal |
| Ali, Like Bomback at 9:25 AM I too am not receiving any IBDLive emails, most importantly IBDLive Daily Recap. | We are investigating. Thank you for your patience |
| DUOL fade to 10 DMA as many leaders do after breaking out | Esp. with market pausing/pulling back. |
| If it helps, I recieved the email reminder this morning. | Good to know. Thank you! |
| Why is FICO tumbling? | apparently FHFA official was critical Tue. about FICO's scoring |
| FICO | FICO plunging again - apparently FHFA official was critical Tue. about FICO's credit scores. |
| How to buy GAPS up? IBD criteria? | Old video you can check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_SwF6fQCYc |
| Bbyddf doesnt come up on market sure ? | BYDDF is on MarketSurge. It trades over the counter in the U.S., so sometimes it takes a while for trading to get going. Also prone to spikes/falls at the open that quickly go away. BYD is listed in Hong Kong and Shenzhen. |
| ALAB I got into yesterday | Me too. |
| Do you think the UBER selloff had something to do with the TSLA news yesterday about FSD? | I don't know. UBER has a lot of self-driving partnerships so Tesla robotaxi headlines may not have the same impact as they did, say, six months ago. Also, Uber isn't falling that much ... the market is pulling back! |
| BTSG Handle ? | Yep. I've been watching it. |
| Thanks Webby. Good lesson. | live answered |
| Webby monster job on the historic base reading, very helpful ! | live answered |
| Does anyone know in which IBD live last week Webby went over the quicksand and grateful dead tutorial? I'd like to rewatch it. | Last Wednesday |
| AGX same group as PWR is +1.79% Blue Dot. | live answered |
| ROAD vs PWR? | live answered |
| Good morning! AGX | live answered |
| ditto on no longer getting email to join and impossible to login Monday | The issue from Monday was resolved by vendor Zoom, an issue on their end. We are investigating the email issue now. |
| AGX Upward move on relatively low volume | live answered |
| PLTR has realy mellowed out and digesting very well on lower volume. | live answered |
| Chris 0r anybody in black ops - any thoughts on APP. Thanks | Technically, APP will have a handle after today in a very deep base. Not much of a shakeout in that handle. Still a long way to reach old highs when the likes of PLTR, etc. are back at highs. |
| Webby, why are you reducing ST exposure? Are you anticipating a deep pullback from here? Is the market not doing what you had anticipated when you put them on very recently? | He shared the details/reasoning in his opening thoughts today. |
| Harold does great job every week to go over option lesson. | Thank you for your kind words |
| Harold, you make options look so easy. You are awesome. :) | Thank you for your kind words |
| Harold - How many options do you normally have at one time? | Normally, 8-10 option positions but not as many today because I wanted stock positions in NFLX, SPOT, UBER |
| What is CVNA doing? Normal pull back? | Seems normal for now. The downside of a stock breaking out just before a market pullback is that it the odds of a retreat back to/below the buy point more likely. |
| DASH - LOL Ali - I came to the same conclusion this AM | It's the setup — would love tight action after this recovery |
| Ali - I tried mailing Door Dash...LOL | LOL! |
| Webby, Funny!! I saw a rotary phone in the PHL airport resturant yesterday and wondered how many of the employees even knew what it was. haha!! | ! |
| Ali,Ken, Webby - I remember having a party line as a kid 65 years ago! LOL! | YEP |
| What are the black line (ants)?? | They show a stock that is up at least 12 out of the past 15 days. Up more than 20% and volume is also up more than 20%. Not a buy signal. Watch for a pullback. |
| ETOR ??? new IPO leader | live answered |
| Webby, can you tell us about your findings about your HTF? | Doesn't have to be an advance of 100%, can be "in the spirit of" |
| TSLA | It's pausing after a big run-up. Could be forming a handle on a weekly chart, but could use a more-significant pullback. |
| IBIT near all time high? | Almost there. I picked it up on Monday. |
| Could we look at DUOL? It made a great run, but now the price is sort of dribbling downward. | live answered |
| Thoughts on CLS | Trying to clear the handle or shelf at 116.10. I wish there was more volume. |
| I love hearing Alis take of things. Thanks mike for asking her. | Of course she is GREAT!!! |
| Can we look at UBER pls | live answered |
| Ali, Are you still holding UBER even though it is down today? (I also own a half position) | I cannot comment when you disclose ownership of a stock but we did cover this one |
| Wow. FICO got sick fast. someone's unloading | Yeah that news caused a bit of a panic regarding a big potential revenue hit. |
| Ali, how much exposed % are you? | I've got some ammo left in my margin account but I'm pretty full here |
| Is there an IBD class on entries and exits? | Here's one: https://get.investors.com/premium-workshops/chart-school-live/ |
| Ali you are amazing. You have Brian Shannon traces for entry and Jim Roppel for holding a winner. I love seeing your entries and exits. Thank you for your thoughts. | Learning more and more with every trade and every year of doing this! Thanks for your kind words. |
| Good job Ali, good approach. Wait till you get some splits in there (or multiple) and the stock continues to rise. Then you'll be talking serious money. Takes time, be patient (which you are). Best of luck! | NVDA a big winner for me in 2023 and 2024. PLTR a big winner for me last year and continuing to act well for me this year. NFLX also trying to hold for a bigger move. I won't hold no matter what, will use sell rules to retain gains. |
| Snowflake earnings tonight, any thoughts anyone ? | I'm debating buying some calls. |
| Webby, are you using ATR or 21D ATR for you column layout? why are the #'s b/n the two so diff? | One is a percentage and the other is a point total. |
| Can a stock like MOS or NTR or IPI be a future True Market Leader like NFLX or PLTR? Or do they not meet enough CANSLIM criteria? | Cyclicals can make huge moves. MOS was a big leader in 2006. IPI went from 14 to 120 a couple years ago. Usually there is a big underlying trend driving them. |
| NVDA | I like how it's trading so tightly. If it hasn't moved before earnings I may buy a call. |
| Ali: Tell us more about buying TQQQ on the follow thru day. Did you buy TQQQ for all of the previous follow thru days that failed? What starting position did you use? | Started with QLD with smaller position size, did try on the failed ones and backed away. Switched to TQQQ when we had three days up in a row and closed above the 21-day line |
| avgo | Has built a handle within the consolidation. Looks good. |
| Same experience here as others — no longer receiving daily reminders by e-mail, and could not get in on Monday with iphone, ipad, or computer. | The Monday issue is resolved, Zoom issue that the vendor fixed, and we are investigating the email issue. Thanks so much for your patience |
| any thoughts on CVNA Carvana | Looks like it's building a high handle. I've been watching it. |
| Any thoughts on whether TSLA stock is driven at this point by car sales, self-driving capabilities, or the Optimus robot? Thank you! | Clearly, TSLA has very, very little to do with current, actual Tesla business. If we were looking *strictly* at the EV biz - with declining sales, earnings and a limited pipeline (at best) ... we'd be looking at a forward P/E of, oh, say, 4 or 5. But it's actually 170! I'd say the vast majority of TSLA's valuation is on self driving hopes, with Optimus after that. Tesla Energy is doing fine fo now but there would be clear valuation limits on that. |
| Webby, one side or the other will be converted on TSLA, that's for sure. 😉 | Time will tell |
| Where can I see info re moving averages and the % ages where is it is inadvisable to buy a stock? Probably not asking this right | Each person has their own personal flavor. Using average true range, how much a stock is above a key price low or moving average, etc. — each trader has to find levels that make sense for their risk tolerance |
| Rise in rates probably causing the difference between QQQ and RSP. Not necessarily a sign that QQQ are likely to fall. | GOOGL up significantly, FNGS up so those big megacaps have a lot of influence. |

| IS THERE INFO SOMEWHERE ON THIS> | Check out investors.com/LiveFAQ for helpful links to edutcational topics |
| What date did Harold use for PLTR option | live answered |
| Is there a write up checklist on the high tight flag that Webby mentioned so I can print and remember? | https://www.investors.com/how-to-invest/investors-corner/breakout-stocks-tesla-stock-rally-high-tight-flag-base/ |
| Ali - rememebr LOAR testing support today - the bottom may be in | I don't like the break below the 21-day, looks weak to me right now |
| Webby, might want to let the market speak to you rather than so much anticipation. | Have a good day Meisel |
| WEBBY "The Barron's Daily" has a nice article on $GOOGL. | GTK |
| What is a lockout rally? | For some who feel like they didn't get enough exposure earlier and are hesitant to chase! A lot of money still potentially on the sidelines |
| Mahalo IBD Live Team and have a great trading day! | ! |
| Is Ali going for a record? | 15 more minutes until a record! ;) |
| GREAT SHOW TODAY! | Thanks for tuning in everyone! |
| Would love a webby ramble on the HTF | ! |

| Webby the GOAT!! I really apprecite your teachings. | !! |
| I am too lazy to want to work as hard as Webby. | ! |
| Webby, Thank you! | ! |
| Thanks Webby, you are the best trader I have ever seen and I've seen a lot. I am a little slower than you which is why I don't anticipate so much. You are so right about finding your own style! | ! |

| Y''ALL are the BEST!!! | ! |
| Excellent thanks | ! |
| Finding the leaders are key and you guys rock | ! |
