SNAP killed the market! But there are opportunities - Market update 5-24-22
$SNAP news killed everything
$COST - I still believe this could be a big upside if they raise their membership fees. Just wait for a bottom here.

$ZIM $VET $FANG $UAN $CRK $MOS $GSL $C $MS $ZM

I'm BACK!!!! I used the scanner to find some good looking charts - Market update 5-23-22
Who said sell in May and go away? Even through this downturn, there are some opportunities. I think the Energy sector - in particular oil - is still a winner.
$AAPL - has it bottomed? Probably not - but depending on your time horizon, this is a good place to buy. Burry is shorting it and Buffet is no doubt buying.
$UNH - buy on the algo
$LLY - buy on the algo
$EPD - buy on the algo
$AXP - buy on the algo
Energy stocks to buy:
$CVX
$DVN
$OXY
Other stocks I'm keeping an eye on:
$SPG
$CLF
$QCOM
$ORCL
$ABBV

Energy - where can you invest? Some buys in the sector - Market update 5-17-22
I didn't talk about Twitter - it's crashing, but I do think Elon still wants it. Tesla shares should go up.
Home Depot reported an amazing quarter - buy Lowes instead
Walmart reported a disastrous quarter - but Target instead
Oil is going up - buy $CVX $DVN $OXY $UCO $MPC $PDX
Natural Gas is going up - $LNG has a cross up so buy it here for a nice 10% up.
$AMD is back up - still strong
Berkshire and Warren Buffet bought more $C - I like this here
$TTWO reported good earnings - in the game space I still think $ATVI is the one to buy for the $95 $MSFT buyout

What sector beats Apple returns? 124% vs. 90% BUY - Market update 5-16-22
Saudi Aramco reported earnings - up 80% and gave stock back and a special dividend to shareholders. Oil demand goes up by 2-3 million barrels per day over the summer - where is that supply coming from?
My experience with Amazon delivery - WOW - just WOW
$Cost and $CI - I like both based on an article I posted
$DAC - earnings tomorrow - $80 right now
$ZIM, $EGLE, $SBLK - could be moving up
$CVNA - this stock just continues to go up based on the shorts
$CVX $DVN $OXY $XOM $XLE - any energy should be going up - they are extended so wait for a small pullback. Today they are flying.
2 year chart of $XLE vs. $AAPL - 124% return for $XLE vs. $AAPL has a 90% return.

Tesla or Twitter? Which one will Elon run? Crypto is back plus using my algorithm - Market update - 5-13-22
Elon is now tweeting how the $TWTR deal is on hold. The $TSLA stock soared and $TWTR stock cratered. I think both could be a buy.
Crypto seems to be bouncing back.
Did a MacD scan on Trendspider and found some cross ups that could be buys. Will post those on Twitter.
$AFRM up 36% since yesterday. A good example that even in horrible markets, there are stocks that make big moves after being beaten down.
$AAPL - under $140 - buy in the position
$MSFT - under $290 - buy
$QQQ - under $286 - buy
$AMZN - under $2100 - buy
$GOOG - under $2200 - buy
I also go in to detail about the algorithm I talk about alot. It's in Trendspider and if you sign up for Trendspider, I will help you set it up in there for yourself. Please make sure you understand how to read charts before signing up, but you do have a 7 day free trial.

SELL EVERYTHING???? Market update 5-12-22
NO... PLEASE DON'T!!!!!
While I don't have good news and I would be careful about buying in to this market, it doesn't mean you don't have long term opportunities. Selling everything is not a strategy because you'll miss the pop back up, but right now we very well may be in the recession that everyone predicted.
$AAPL is no longer the largest company in the world - Saudi's oil fund Aramco is. This to me says oil and energy is the key. My suggestion is that if you're trading for more than 1 day in this market, pick a company that's in energy or food. Those are the 2 things I think have opportunities.
Crypto is crashing because stable coins are found to be not stable. Crypto also has been shown to be not unrelated to central banks so I think the original thesis of Satoshi is not panning out to be true.
Leon Cooperman said it best I think - the drop will be over when we see a company report average earnings and is up and it then opens up the next morning. Disney earnings were average to below average - it was up - but couldn't hold. There's just not enough money in the market to support an up day. $DIS is a $140 stock when things are good.

$OXY destroyed earnings But inflation is still a problem - $UVXY - Today's earnings play - Market update 5-11-22
Inflation is still here and still going up. That will kill the market again so you may see small bounces, but we still will move down in the long run. When you have profits in your portfolio with stocks that are NOT on your "long term" portfolio - take the profits. Just do it in a tax efficient way. I'll talk tomorrow about taking some of your IRA lower conviction plays and maybe liquidating them and doing a ROTH conversion while it's down.
$LPG - $2.50 dividend soon
$OXY - earnings blow out and incredible guidance
$SPG - still good price to earnings and great dividend
$AAPL - under $160 - start positions
$MSFT - under $270 - start positions
$GOOGL - great value here
$NVDA - same forward PE as $CLX - which company do you think grows more?
$TWTR - deal may close in a few months - get it while it's under $50 IMO
$ATVI - $95 deal - I like it here
$TTD - dying chart - nothing good here
$COIN - crazy how bad things are
$UST - Tera is being destroyed - it's far from stable
$PTON - would have loved to have bought the dip - but it's going back to $10 when they raise more cash
$FB - under $200 - buy it
$AXP - I still like this one here
$UCO - it's def going back to $190 - I like it but I'll wait for under $150
$DAC $ZIM $EGLE $SBLK - I like these
$VET - reports today - I like this one to play in to earnings - but like $OXY - the market may not care
$DIS - big earnings today but I don't think you see a move on this. I think you buy puts on $NFLX based on this earnings.
$UNH - it's still falling - but I love buying the dip on this one and $ABBV

Tesla under $1k and Occidental earnings tonight - there are trades today - Market update 5-10-22
What a bloodbath yesterday, but this creates opportunities.
$OXY - earnings tonight - buy it under $60
$TSLA - slowing down Shanghai plant - but under $1k - buy iit.
$NVDA - $170 is the pivot here, but I think anything under $180 is an absolute buy. The forward PE is less that Clorox! Which grows more?
$LNG $ENB $EQT $PXD $SHEL $CVX - all energy plays that are trades here.
$SPG earnings were GREAT! Earnings good, guidance good and raised dividend - triple play! You can still own it here at $120 and enjoy the dividend.
$AEP is interesting - I'll research it more but they have the largest wind farm in the US.
$CLF - moving under $20 - wait to buy it - but it's looking good.
$QCOM - great to own it here. Crazy good valuation
$AMD - great to own under $90 - I love it there.
$PTON - got killed and is starting to recover on earnings.
$FB - under $200 - get it.
$DAC $ZIM $SBLK - all shippers with earnings coming up.
$UPS $FDX - great plays now too
$FCX - beaten down on earnings - might be good later
$TWTR - at $47 - deal will go through at $54.20 - good opportunity.
$ATVI - at $77 - $95 offer from $MSFT will go through.

What stocks should you buy this week? Market update - 5-9-22
With stocks being beaten down, which stocks are a buy right now?
$OXY reports tomorrow - I like this one. Energy companies have killed it on earnings and this one should have a very good quarter.
$SPG reports today - I like this one as it's gone down and is at it's pre pandemic level right now. You still have a 5% dividend while you wait for the market to turn around.
$UVXY should be your play upon validation and confirmation!
$GBTC - not a buy but if you want to play some options, you could do $BITO. I think Bitcoin still has a good leg down.
$AAPL is in the most active in premarket - which NEVER happens.
$UCO hit $180 on Friday. You'll see this go to $190 at some point once China demand ramps up again.
$BRK.B - if you want one that should end the year a winner, I think Berkshire will
$TSLA - under $1k it's a buy. It's a sell in the algo today (my guess), but I still like this one.
$LNG - Nat Gas will continue to soar.
$DVN - still love this name

$UVXY yesterday - up 20% - buy it today too - Market update 5-6-22
$UVXY is your play today with a Friday sell off likely. Yesterday you made 20% on that. Buy companies with good earnings that are increasing revenues - like energy.
$DVN is up 20% from Monday. $AMD is up since Monday. There are stocks in this market to buy, but your time horizon matters.
I went over very few stocks today because I feel $UVXY is the way to go if you're trading today. Investing - just wait for some confirmation the sell off is at least easing. A Friday with a war going on a huge sell offs on previous Fridays does NOT indicate a good time to buy for long term.
