Moving UPST stop to $91.45. Through $100 and stop can be moved to $93.50.

Remember, this is tracking the potential to get near or all the way to $115-$120 target now rather than after a retrace. If we get stopped, we wait for the retrace and buy back. If you bought back in January or before earnigns, you're sitting on $30+ of gains.

I got stopped out at $90. Got in at $63. So a nice, quick little profit.

Hope I can get back in after a significant retrace. If it goes up from here, then I take my profit.

Too many times I have ridden a good profit all the way down to a bad loss.

I got in when I made my last post about seller's remorse. Straight f'n down since that moment. About to stop out $89

I know better, but the market is beating me with that lesson again.

Maybe we woke it up….

Eh, probably being overly cautious, but decided to take SMCI profit, and a little more on SOXL.

Placing buys below.

Yep, here comes the selloff...

What's the current thought here? Basically stuck in no-man's land until their new facility is opened and they can reduce their backlog?

I jumped back into it prior to recent earnings, and should have sold the day of earnings when it popped. We've been headed down since earnings, and I keep chasing it adding shares. It's fine, I don't mind holding a while, but just curious what the thoughts are here.

The shorts have been pushing it down. The short interest stood at 15.41% as of Tuesday. It has a short squeeze score of 77.23, so chances of a squeeze coming soon are increasing. They're trading with a PE of banks. You put a 25 multiple on trailing earnings, then stock should be $330 now. You put a 30X multiple on like $ETN, then it should be $400/shr.

So you're telling me to load up and enjoy the ride??

Wishing I wouldn't have sold all my shares last fall, but was enjoying the ride then. Just didn't catch the move when it finally broke above $200 and took off.

It's volatile, but it's also on sale, so yes.

All jokes aside, do y'all think WWR would be a good investment? What do they have going on in the near future?

Might throw a few hundred on it just for the TexAgs camaraderie

If SPY can push through $607 we should really rip

Its fun to hold onto and complain about, but not anytime soon

Thanks. Freed up some capital to join this train.

Here's the general setup should resistance break. Timing is illustrative only. Could happen quick. Could take longer. You can layer in if it breaks out. Let it confirm by holding previous resistance as new support. Then layer in more. Just know when to get out. I wouldn't flirt with anything beyond the bottom of the target box. We are a week away from the exact same time the market topped pre-COVID, and that rally was almost the exact same.. Aug 5th 2019 - Feb 19 2020. This pattern I've been posting is Aug 5th 2024 - Feb ? 2025.

Finally reached a new intraday high, from Jan 31.

Anyone in etf bito? Thoughts? Seems to have a pretty good div

Anyone? Hell of a dividend

I just bought SPXL for the breakout. Setting a tight stop at $182 and will be willing to get back in if stopped but it stays constructive with higher lows. Min target is $200 which should be at or near the bottom of the box on the chart above.

Caution - It's a 3x ETF. You will make much more gains than SPY, but can also have MUCH more losses. Stop is very important and you have to be willing to swing in and out if playing a levered product. Simply holding isn't advised unless it consistently moves up, you can move stop up with it, and never get stopped.

If SPXL can get to $186 then I'll move my stop to just above my entry.

We getting a new ATH today?

I'd say likely. Heavy bearish sentiment so high chance this is a squeeze and we take it to ATH.

By the way, I was out for a couple hours and got stopped on UPST.

Pay attention to the captions on the purple extension lines. Those are the support zones. Below $82 and it's likely that it's not going to immediately rebound and go straight to $115. It's up to you when to add back. Below the pre-earnings breakout level and I would just sit tight.

And keep in mind.. you don't HAVE to add back. We're talking about looking for the final move in a topping pattern. Sometimes it's just best to catch the breakout and meat, as we did, and let the rest run at the whims of the late to enter retail traders who are most likely not going to sell out in time and will get trapped with a bag.

I'll take it, I just wonder what drives the market these days. More tariffs announced today and everything rips.

I wish I understood days like this.

Long story short.. there was a ton of short interest out there. But knowing how to read it, you would understand that big players LOVE to sell premium during consolidations like we've been in. When they sell puts, it forces the MM's to sell the underlying to hedge. Same thing on the flip side with calls. Well the P/C ratio was forming higher lows. This was a sign that the put selling was decelerating, putting a potential floor on the market. All it takes from that point forward is for the buyers to step in and break resistance.

Man, what a good 24 hours. Cashed out of BROS after hours yesterday for a quick 30%+ gain in about 3 weeks. Rolled some of that into POWL to add to my position today.

One thing I'm finally starting to do is to take profits more often instead of riding them back down to even or losses. I have tons of faith in BROS to keep climbing, but I feel my money can grow faster with this POWL dip. Either way, it's nice seeing the account jump like it did after the earnings call yesterday. Now I'm ready to watch POWL go to $400+.

I'm doing the opposite this go around. Been taking profits off base hits, and up pretty good right now CROX. Riding this one up to Valhalla.

Port currently 25/25/50 CROX/POWL/Cash.

What is going on with BROS these last 5 min??

probably bs in this cutthroat environment, but I've been burned enough on SMCI to take my minimal gains and run after seeing this. Not advising anyone else to do the same....I just have too much SMCI trauma built up. With my luck, it probably runs back up to 75

Sounds just like me. I'm riding CROX/POWL to the promised lands
