Good Morning! | GM Narayanan! |
Good morning cast and crew! Hailing from beautiful Mazatlan! | lucky you! (ADDITIONAL ANSWER) Lucky you, HatMan 2! Have a wonderful time! |
Haven’t seen Chris and Ken in a long time! | We’re both in dark ops today and will be on tomorrow. |
Someone sent me a link on selling into strength last week, think it was Ken, but I lost it, could someone post some suggestions? | Hi Glen, we do have a number of sell signal Investor’s Corner articles on the live faq page; but here are some that may help? https://www.investors.com/how-to-invest/investors-corner/how-to-handle-stock-market-expectations/ and https://www.investors.com/how-to-invest/investors-corner/how-to-sell-growth-stocks-sell-rule-magic-small-cap-leader/ and https://www.investors.com/how-to-invest/investors-corner/how-to-build-long-term-profits-in-stocks-take-many-gains-at-20-25/ |
Good morning from Boston | morning Beantown. Enjoy. |
Good Morning Justin! It was great to meet you again this past weekend! | Great meeting you too, Michael. |
Welcome back Ken! | Good to be back. |
Good morning, the nicest people!!! | GM David David! Nice to have you too! HatMan David |
GM from Historic Philadelphia | GM Dave |
Is INMD extended? | Yes, INMD has tested its 10-week line several times after breakout from base in June. Even it forms new base from here, it would be later stage. |
Welcome back Ken! | Thank you Margaret! |
What are your thoughts on the recharging stocks – eg. EVGO? | Really nice rally lately! Looks like you could have drawn a trend line from the 2/16 high near 20, hitting the 16.64 near-term high on 6/28, and you get a trendline breakout near 13 on 11/8. That same day, EVGO crossed its 200-day MA. Bullish. At this point, will EVGO keep seeing resistance near 20, and perhaps form a handle or a smaller base? https://www.investors.com/how-to-invest/investors-corner/the-basics-spot-traits-of-proper-handles-on-cup-patterns/ |
symbols? | TWKS, ZIP, AIP, S |
Good morning IBD Live! | GM Jeffrey! Let’s make it a great week of trading and investing. |
What do you think about CMG? Early buy point? | Agree. After the solid breakout past the base near 1,580, this is the first rebound back above the 50-day MA/10-week line. Friday’s action bullish indeed. https://www.investors.com/how-to-invest/investors-corner/searching-for-a-new-buy-point-watch-tests-of-the-10-week-moving-average/ |
Hello folks. Cathy Wood bought DDD recently. What are your thoughts of DDD? | Technicals very weak (big sellers in the stock last week) but that doesn’t bother Cathy Wood. Pass for me. |
Good morning, | GM Peter |
When the ducks are quacking, we West Tennessee duck hunters take action, but that action is not to feed them. | Ha ha! Nice color Robert! |
UPST: My cushion is all used up on this one. It looks like it’s broken, is it an exit ? | live answered |
GM from Cape Cod | GM Phil. What a great day for Mac Jones at the Patriots. Impressive win for New England, congrats. |
Good Am IBD Gang. | Hi James! |
When do we get Ken Shreve and Harold Morris – miss those dudes | Thanks Aziz. I’ll be on tomorrow. |
Ed’s video froze | live answered |
The Matrix got Ed | Obviously it was Elon. |
Everybody stay calm. Ed is downloading from the Matrix | Ha ha, yes! GM Shane |
I missed today’s picks. Would be great if you could post them | Scott on AIP; Justin on TWKS |
A deer in the headlights! | Oh no! |
Welcome back Ken long time since you’ve been here and you were missed! | thx appreciate it. |
Nice to see Eagle Eyes is back; what’s Ken watching this morning? | sure like the way RBLX is trading after earnings gap. |
G’morning Team! I’m holding 1/4 position in INMD and have been looking for opportunities to add….. it looks like a 3-week tight pattern here…still too extended to add now? | too extended IMO. I like to see a breakout from a base and then a 3-weeks-tight after that. INMD’s last true breakout was in June. It’s already tested the 10-week line several times which makes the 3-weeks-tight less attractive IMO |
Ed…love your Twitter feed. | Thanks! |
Does anyone have some suggestions/views about selling too soon when there is a huge up move on earnings? I sold most of my RBLX when it came out with earnings, and went up about 28% after market. I thought it went up too much on emotions, and sold very shortly after the earnings announcement after market. | You can always sell in thirds. If you’re wrong you still have 2/3 of your position. At this point you just need to wait for a new entry. |
GM! Has anyone asked about the 8% jump in DLTR yet? | live answered |
Doing nothing can also be the hardest thing… just sayin’ 😉 | very true. |
What’s happening with CRWD? | Morgan Stanley downgrade to underweight. |
Is NVDA converging well? | Really holding gains nicely. Showing strength and support. Earnings due Wednesday after the close. |
whee is the RS 3 month rating | You can add it to your stock list columns as well as screen off of it. |
Could you please discuss Square | This one has really turned into a laggard. Don’t see much to like about it at this point. Bad price action overall. |
“What position is Riot in LB? Quarter? Where do I add to this position? How do I find this info for other positions?” | RIOT is a half position, or about a 5% weighting. It was missing for some reason at the end of the RIOT summary. Just added it. https://leaderboard.investors.com/#/leaders/leadersnearabuypoint |
MORNING CHRIS. why do you think steel stocks are breaking down with infrastructure bill is about to be signed? | Sell the news is the most likely explanation. |
Ken, welcome back! | Thank you sir. |
Teck getting hit, shouldn’t we be trimming the position on swing trader? | We were watching the rebound but it is fading. We are exiting. |
It seems like the rules are changing for when to sell because of all of the rotation in the market. I get nervous to hold when something is up more than 10% like U. | Depends on the stock. The leaders with real earnings and sales growth you can let run. INMD is a great example. The cyclical plays and stocks that you have less conviction selling into strength makes a lot sense. |
ASML thoughts please… | Looking good, clearing an almost handle. Not too far from 50-day. Seems actionable. |
What about ONON on leaderboard with earnings? | We’re considering a call option. Link here: https://leaderboard.investors.com/#/leaders/earningoptions |
Guys- what is the ETF that trades IPO’s? | “Here’s a list of IPO ETFs from ETF.com https://www.etf.com/channels/ipo” |
TECK is on swingtrader. 4% down | live answered |
I’ld like to learn more about playing “earnings gaps”. Does IBD have a place I can go to start to gather info/strategies/articles on the subject? Thanks | Hey Lonzel! Check out investors.com/LiveFAQ for some resources 🙂 |
IPO question. I put a buy order on RIVN hours before it’s debut for it’s opening price. How come my order never processed? I use TD Ameritrade. Is there behind-the-scene buying that drives the price higher prior to the IPO? | The market makers look at all the pre-IPO orders and figure out the price reflect those buys and sells. The IPO price is what the investors who subscribed to the IPO buy their shares. |
ABNB – I’m impressed how well LeaderBoard’s earnings options play is working out. I’m up 300% on those calls. I understand that we plan to exercise to get the shares so I only bought 2, but hey, 300% is really awesome. How can I learn more about this kind of amazing options play? | We talk about it every week in the Earnings Preview column. |
Shopify? | I was buying it last week around 1540. It feels a little extended even though it’s in the buy range of the consolidation. You could start a position here. It’s about 7% above last week’s support area. I’m waiting for a pullback or tight area before adding. |
What happen to crwd?? | Morgan Stanley downgrade |
How do you sell covered call to hedge NVDA for earning? | I buy puts when I hedge individual stocks, but that is when they are 20%+ extended above the 10-day. Puts around earnings are tougher because of the volatility crush. Run the numbers and see if you can find a reasonable strike. Pay attention to the delta that will tell you how much protection you will get. A 0.50 delta would mean you have to buy 2 puts for every 100 shares to be theoretically fully hedged. |
Would there be an option play to get in to NVDA? | No, only because it’s too extended at this point. We’re open to earnings option trades, but the stock has to be in or near a buy zone. |
CROX all-time high! I know you want some:) | Hah |
OK but I can’t find where it is to add it to the search criteria | For the lists, click on the wrench in the bar above the list. Then go to Customize Column Layout. Click on Price & Volume and scroll down to the bottom of the section to find 3-month RS. Click on that and then save it to your column layout and then hit Apply. For a screen, go to Open Edit, click on Price & Volume. RS Rating – 3 month is item No. 32. |
Got shaken out of TSLA before the big move… would you consider initiating a new position here? | The 21-day didn’t hold. Next stop would be the 50-day, but that would be a round-trip of a 38% gain. I think it will take some time for a solid entry. |
Any suggestions of “picks and shovels” plays on EV’s? | Yes, the lithium plays. We’ll go there next… |
Where would be a good entry point to buy LIT? | Might get support at the 21 day. That could be a decent entry. |
COIN Irusha made a good case for it on the podcast last week | Could be building a handle to go with the big and deep cup. |
LIT is down as well | ALB/TSLA/BYDDF are big components. |
Good morning team, thank you for Talking about DASH last week. Been a winner for me. Actually used them for a food delivery the other night. | live answered |
<——Feels better when Ed calls me a winner 😉 | Heh. |
Mr. Ed makes sense on ALB, when will he like TSLA??? Hmmmm | Not going to happen. |
FB is bouncing off 50 with volume | Good eye, Tung, and a bullish development again for FAANG, err, MAMAA stocks? This is arguably a trend-line entry for sure. https://www.investors.com/how-to-invest/investors-corner/tesla-stock-showed-early-buy-point-dow-jones-leader-microsoft-nvidia-stock/ and https://www.investors.com/how-to-invest/investors-corner/how-to-draw-trend-lines-and-find-lower-buy-points-in-stock-charts/ |
Any thoughts on; if you can’t do an earnings option play, maybe do an equivalent sizing on straight up shares? Without math, maybe that’s a ‘pilot’ size position. | Look at the market move implied by the value of the premium of the at-the-money put and call and size your position off of that. If they equal 10% of the stock price, buy the number of shares that you would be OK if the stock gapped down by that amount. |

PTLO – Italian beef/sausage combo. Add sweet peppers! | live answered |
PTLO going up on lower vol | Good point; this is not a buy point for sure. Too little trading history to really see an authentic IPO base, IMHO. This Investor’s Corner offers good perspective. https://www.investors.com/how-to-invest/investors-corner/ipo-bases-rich-gains/ |
ED — Do you think with Germany’s rise in Covid Cases is having an impact with certain sectors? | Good Q, Peter, I wonder if EWG, the MSCI Germany ETF, reflects such concerns over the strength of recovery in that major EU country. Up just 7.3% YTD. |
TTD break out working . | Nice! Internet content firms doing well lately. FB, GOOGL. . . |
Scott, we like your color commentary | live answered |
TSLA up until 2 trading days ago, every single purchase was a profitable and correct buy. | There were a number of times when TSLA sold off – a lot. That’s what I was getting at. Same as with growth stocks generally. Anyone who bought at 1200 has to be feeling queasy. |
Covid in Florida down 95% from peak | Covid is like the NBA. Everyone goes on a “run” of infections. The timing is just different. |
Justin, Sorry I missed you and your family in Chicago. I had family travel of my own to the East Coast. :)” | My wife really has taken a liking to Chicago. So I’m sure we’ll be back. |
ed, people stay at ABNBs more during pandemic because they don’t want to go to hotels | But if travel OVERALL is down, that’s not a great sign for Airbnb. Again, I think the ABNB chart looks good. |
Please type link to 97 industry groups; investors.com/—-/faq | investors.com/LiveFAQ — I will add it to that page after the show’s conclusion! |
Of course, the stock market trades in groups; so ABNB might be influenced by the group’s weakness although the fundamentals might look different | Yep. Just something to be keep in mind. And maybe travel stocks will stabilize and head higher. |
Are industry groups price weighted or cap weighted? CLFD is the big mover | Price weighted. |
SHOP is also in a stage 9b consolidation. How worried should we be when the stage count is so high? | We counted covid crash as base reset |
How do we get a look at the industry group spread ship? | It’ll be added to investors.com/ibdliveFAQ – near the top of the page – this morning. |
Apologies for being s-l–o—w. Where in IBD can I find Justin’s spreadsheet? | investors.com/LiveFAQ — I will add this week’s there after the show’s conclusion! |
is the new spreadsheet for the 197 group in the FAQ list? I only see the last one from 11/7 | Justin gave it to me during the show so I will add it after we wrap up here! |
Globant to Acquire Navint >GLOB | Thanks Danny. |
Ed, is there news on Crwd? | Got a downgrade – citing increased competition/price pressure. S is one of those competitors – supposedly much cheaper. |
TGT — Staying strong . . . +3.02%. Good for those individuals who pick it up last week! | live answered |

Hey Scott that was your best final thoughts yet. LOL | Heh. |
