Here are my deep dive newsletters…
This newsletter is really about what’s below the paywall which is my daily watchlist (25+ stocks), the charts for that watchlist and my current trading portfolio with all the details you need like entry price, stop loss, etc
I spend 2+ hours every morning running stock screeners then going through 100+ charts — this is what adds value for my paying subscribers. Nothing matters more than finding the best setups, executing them during the day and of course maximizing my/our performance.
Commentary:
Bad news… This market is hot garbage, indexes are falling & slicing through support, yields are spiking, FOMC is hawkish, student loans are coming back and September is living up to it’s reputation as a bad month especially the last two weeks
Good news… September won’t last forever, we could see a Q4 rally, yields might be hitting their peaks, plenty of great companies that won’t be impacted by student loans coming back, valuations & multiples are looking much better
Thoughts…
if you like buying breakouts from the leaders then you should probably be doing nothing right now because we’re not seeing any breakouts — these are still my favorites
since we’re not seeing breakouts, the next option is buying leaders as they pullback to their 8/9/10d ema — I have some interest here
if you’re more of a position trader that likes growth stocks and believes a Q4 rally is possible then you might want to start looking at buying the potential Q4 TML’s as these stocks pullback to their 50/100d moving averages, you might find some great entry prices however many of these stocks are slicing through their moving averages like hot butter so there’s a high probability of getting stopped, I suspect some big bounces are around the corner but that corner might still be 2 weeks away so patience is your friend. At some point in the next couple weeks I might take a few swings at potential TMLs when they finally bounce and start to show some life but right now risking capital on stocks in free fall mode is too reckless.
