mega cap earnings gonna blow up some bears this week...
******* it.Brian Earl Spilner said:
Kinda leaning that way as well.
SMCI probably in the best position to rocket if we do, but I'm not brave enough for that right now.
You should look into $ARM, it will catch that wave and is more affordable.Brian Earl Spilner said:******* it.Brian Earl Spilner said:

I think anticipation into their earnings will squeeze the bears but that's not what they're banking on. Forward guidance is the bear's bet. They'll stomach some pain but they're banking on conservative forward guidance which should pressure the mega caps.EnronAg said:

I'm about 50 of the 28's between all my accounts, but it isn't just us unless we have some huge players lurking around. Volume is still coming in. This morning when I priced out expirations and strikes looking for $30 min SLV target and $40 max upon expiration, $28's had the best max potential with the highest min potential. People who know how to price options probably saw the same thing.McInnis 03 said:That would be the @Texags stock forum.

$U did enter my $22ish buy range that I've recently posted as my target range, but I'm not pulling the trigger though. They report earnings on 5/9 and if they stub their toe, then I'll get it in the $18 range. Just FYI and full disclosure on my part.ETX_Ag_22_24 said:
$U well into the buy range after a couple ugly weeks. May grab some for fun

I need IWM above $201 without testing $195 again to even start leaning bullish. Even still, $204 would have to be taken out pretty impulsively to get me off the fence.Philip J Fry said:
Are we all bullish now?
Be cognizant that they're still not profitable yet. Stocks that aren't profitable and use debt at higher rates get punished in this current environment of the Fed cuts in doubt. They're going to have to uber crush expectations and guidance and I'm not confident that they will. I'd rather buy it at a higher price if they do, but it's not worth the risk to play their earnings for me. I will buy it in the teens post earnings though. JMOHeineken-Ashi said:
I actually like U May calls - looking for $27-$30. I like $50 for later this year, but the path it takes and timing is more difficult. Shares are the buy for that move as your stop is so clearly defined right now.
But for calls for earnings, I'm eyeing May 10 $24's for a min gain of 2x and max gain of 3x. MACD isn't lifting yet on daily, so I'm going to watch a little longer as one more little squiggle lower could be a magnet.
NFLX sold because it was overbought. Everyone trying to rationalize about shaky guidance (it was actually bullish guidance) or because they said they would stop reporting user growth a year from now (lol, seriously, that was their reason). Neither mattered. The fact was that they were far overbought and sentiment needed a reset.ProgN said:Be cognizant that they're still not profitable yet.

That's what makes the market such an amazing place. Everyone sees different opportunities and no one knows the future. Obviously, we both like the stock, we just see different scenarios that might unfold. The funny part is that we'll probably both be wrong, LOL. The market has an uncanny ability to humble us when we "just know" what's going to happen.Heineken-Ashi said:NFLX sold because it was overbought.

U is oversold right into a significant support area. Earnings will act as nothing more than a catalyst for the next move. Sure, it could be down, but it's already been beaten to hell more than any fundamentals say it should have. Next move wants to be up. Last May earnings were a beat in a similar interest rate outlook and after initially selling from $32 to $26, price went to $50 before the next earnings.

I have been accumulating NextNav, Inc. (NN) since August '22. It just broke through its previous high (in September '23) since it had cratered back in '22.
Can anyone smarter than me give me a long term outlook on this stock? It is 3D navigating/GPS technology which I think is going to be pretty integral to a lot of things as we move towards more VR and things of that nature.
I am expecting a pullback, but I was hoping someone with more experience could take a look and see something maybe I am not seeing.
Full disclosure: I have sold some covered calls for 4/19/24 and I am trying to decide which way the wind is going to blow.

Had a small +3.8% profit on LUV, exited in AH and rotated into NVDA, TQQQ, SSO, and GOOGL.

Yes, but I don't really want to overcomplicate with detailed EW. Just know, it's been very tough to find a reliable count. My base case is mid $20's and then a reversal down to $10-$12.50 range. To get bullish, I need to see it move back up to high in the $33 range. And I would likely start leaning to more immediate bullish around $27-$28 range. But I would expect a retracement after getting back to $33.. thinking $20-$25 range, at which point I would be a buyer for the bull run.flashplayer said:
