NOTES
May the 4th be with you fellow Star Wars geeks
.25% rate hike - means nothing at this point but continued bank fears with any raises means more things may break. $DPST is getting pummeled and at this point I think $SCHW and big bank stocks may be on the downtrend. I’m adding to $WFC $C and $BAC
Sell in may and go away - with the debt ceiling issue, bank issues, employment still strong (which fed does not want), stock market refusing to go down and such - the fed may be focused on continuing to push down inflation if that number comes in hot so be careful.
$SPY - that $420 level is def strong resistance
$aapl
Mistakes that everyone makes including holding on and thinking it will come back
Just realize that with a 50% loss it takes a 100% gain to come back
$sedg - almost at $300 again
$sbux under $100
$el - might be good to buy because it’s temp on China
All time highs for Pepe coin again
Earnings Whispers dot com
$AAPL
$SHOP
$SQ
$COIN
$DKNG
$TOP at $90 again - still in a squeeze - I’m not trading this one but you can if you use very short time frames like a 5 min candle
$wix for Dakota on Facebook
So looking at WIX today, it appears oversold to me. Any opinions from you guys? Benzinga had a decent article come out today on it. I am in at $79 hoping to sell around $90 even though their optimistic figures put it around $100 per share.
$SHOP - surprise profit and cutting 20% of workforce - remember I said get it around $40? Well it’s way above that now
$BEN - insider buying at $4 and now a huge buy at $10
$ENPH - insider bought $10m of it at $165
$ABNB - director sold at $113

Pepe coin
$frc is dead but $dpst might be good now $schw still a good bet
$msft weekly stock pick
$aapl earnings
When to sell $aapl - if you think it’s going to go down you could own it and sell some covered calls to collect the premium without having to sell the shares. Then if does go down you get the premium. Also it can ensure a long term capital gains (15% vs your income rate of 34%)
$uber earnings - did you get it under $30?
Loss of $.08 which is better than expected with higher revenues and bookings up
$f earnings - they will highlight Evs
$AMD earnings
$SBUX earnings
$ET earnings - could get to $16 - look at the dividend - insider buying
Hindenburg now attacking Icahn enterprises $iep
$TOP
$GDC

NOTES
$tqqq - Brandon wins - he guessed the timing right and hopefully is up huge
$top - went nuts - it’s a Chinese Hong Kong brokerage house - closed at $20 and after hours went to $240 - $taop is similar
$amzn earnings - so good - but in the call they said aws is decelerating in April - so that’s why in after hours it pulled back from up 10% to flat - what they are doing is cutting customer prices to keep them locked in and not leave for $msft or $goog
$amzn also didn’t lean heavy enough in to an ai hype
$snap users down - this will come back
$pins - guidance down
$tsla - went back to $160
$intc - loss more than expected - the swing on this stock is $30 but it will swing down towards $20
$snow was up big
$ddog was up big
$clf insider buy
$m - one I love in the e-commerce growth and a strong consumer
Options indicate a $250 price for $meta ending next week - that means the gap fill
$sedg back under $300
$xom earnings
Exxon's first-quarter profit more than doubled from a year earlier to $11.4 billion, the highest in its 140-year history
Look at a weekly or monthly chart of $xom - might be time to take profits or enjoy the return ?
$cvx beat as well
Remember that $schw is still a good long term buy
$frc is just gambling at this point
$dpst I like to come back

NOTES
Earnings beats - strong consumer from visa including international travel boost- strong guidance - inflation coming down - bond rates below 4% - it all adds up to the potential the fed doesn’t have to raise (I think they will) and maybe we have a soft landing and they may have to cut rates soon
$SPY - just got out of the 4hour algo with a 3% gain - $420 is resistance - get over that and $470 is the next resistance which is 11% upside which is huge. The lower support on the ascending wedge is $385
Gene Munster (like the cheese) on the $goog and $msft calls
Comparing tonights $GOOG and $MSFT earnings calls.
When the topic of AI has come up, it feels like Google management is drinking tea and Microsoft Red Bull.
GOOG stock is up 1%, MSFT up 9% in after-hours.
Google’s AI tone is optimistic, measured, put the customer first, do it right, and light on details besides AI search.
Microsoft is talking up about how much they're integrating AI into many products in the near term, try it out and see if it works.
#GOOG Google Cloud Revenue up +21.9% YoY, Search Revenue up +1.8% YoY
$msft is up so much because of azure cloud and the guidance
$goog has a huge buyback
David yocum - go look at the chart on Twitter
$QQQ getting rejected off of its ATH AVWAP for the second time.
Last time, the Q's lost 25% of its value within 75 days.
Will history repeat itself?
$crwd for Lena on Facebook
$amd for chati on Facebook - I like $qcom for ppl who want less volatility
Earnings
Today $meta
Tomorrow - $amzn
Friday - $xom
$frc is on life support - the bank needs cash like $svb but bank management doesn’t want to be bought at this price. If it goes under - shareholders will be at $0 so be careful
$pacw like I said yesterday - good gamble - up 20% because deposits are safe
$aapl getting in the ai hype with an ai powered health coach through Apple Watch
If $AAPL breaks $162 support - I think we may see it go to the $150’s before $170’s
Oh … and did you sign up for apple savings at 4.5%? I did
Regulator in uk blocked $atvi deal with $msft - they can appeal but it looks like a straight no out of the uk so there the deal looks to be off - if it gets too messy and too expensive $msft may be out - $atvi is saying they will appeal
Remember - there’s a $3b break up fee $msft will pay - and pre deal this was a $50 stock
$ba beat and reaffirmed guidance - including 737 production will be 37 per month later this year (at 31 per month now)
$ENPH - very poor results and guidance - it’s over Johnny!
2 stocks - $UBER under $30 and $RBLX under $40

NOTES
$SPOT - sorry about the podcast yesterday - they reported today and are up 2% - still not making money but sub gains
$PEP beat and is up - part of the core portfolio - BRANDS HAVE PRICING
$frc best earnings by a big amount - initial response sent it down because of the 40% quarter over quarter down deposits - this is a $20 stock once all is healthy
They are going to cut 25% of the workforce to control costs and they will reduce exec compensation and office space
This is all good news and this stock in $13 range should be bought
Banking crisis is over but that doesn’t mean that everything is okay…. Better folks than me say there are still problems so most likely it’s a long investment
$FRC
$DPST
$SCHW
$BAC
$WFC
$C
$GS
$JPM - but I’m not a fan since the Epstein stuff came out
$GM beat but they are still not a good long term investment
$TSLA close to $150 handle
$VZ beat - but when the anchors who are interviewing feel bad asking about the long term stock performance over $TMUS and how poorly $VZ and $T have done and the CEO has no really good answer - doesn’t instill confidence. They basically said “you have such a high yield now because your stock has fallen so much”.
TUES after the bell
$MSFT
$GOOG
$GOOGL
$ENPH
$PACW if you want to play regional banks
A good example of when to sell in to earnings - $V - 1% off 52 week high - why would you not sell and take profits?
WED earnings
$META after the bell
$ROKU after the bell
$PXD after the bell
$NLY from yesterday
Brother works for $MSFT - nothing insider has been said - but they will be continuing an incredible amount of announcements for AI on their earnings call - basically the MS suite, BING and other consumer and business software are far further along than any other AI from $GOOG, $META or anyone.
$CLF earnings - disappointing and it’s down again - I still have my small position at $20 - it’s long term for me - at least a year so I will add to it.
Nat gas
SCANS
$WMT
$TGT
$MPLX
$LAC
$HAL
$LNG - nat gas down 3% in pre market - so not sure it’s a great investment but anything under $150 IMO - hold until winter next year where we export nat gas to Europe with Ukraine and Russian war still ongoing and Nordstream most likely not delivering $KOLD is the play

$nflx - covered the $350 gap
$sdge - buy under $300 and sell when over
$kold way up - when will $boil go up
$gnrc and $sony for dman
Generac is looking great, not being in energy or knowing energy this play I grew to like for diversity into energy. Technicals look good, Mac d cross up on the daily, 4h,6hr. rsi very low on daily.
Headge funds have been loading up as well. It's a product sold in every homedepot as a service connect service. Going into 2023 services are stagnet, but this is the time to grab this great company of the future around more 100 if possible it's it bad at where it's at not really, but I'd wait for a pull back if you haven't got in already at the support of 101.29 or lower. Great stock looks strong. GNRC
$pnc beat earnings and provisions for credit losses are being reduced and deposit levels are stable to increasing - book value per share is $76 - which is up 7% - trading at $125 - they expect share buyback to be reduced
Their commercial business they said is only 2.7% - that’s big too
$jpm up big - they beat and deposits were way up indicating they are absolutely safe
$wfc beat and was only up 2%
$c beat - up about 5% - banks were good bets
Banks overall are reporting good things
$tsla cut prices is some additional countries
$UNH beat - but it just was not enough - $HUM may beat now
$ba paused 737 max deliveries - more issues
