MA

Actually revenue, profits and dividend distributions of SP500 collectively continues to rise over time. Don't believe me? Go look at the financials of some top weights such as NVDA JPM COST V MA MSFT AMZN NFLX AVGO GOOGL. It's just lazy rhetoric to think stock market goes up stricly on inflows. You have cause and effect wrong. The inflows are drawn in due to the performance of the companies. If the performacne wasn't there, the investment dollars would flow to other vehicles.

Approximately 600k MA enrollees expected to drop at worst, and many may switch to another UNH plan as all insurers are pulling back or out entirely from certain MA markets. At worst $10b hit which is considered priced in - the drop earlier this year was share price adjusting to this in real time. Roughly 11% of profit lost using most recent numbers of you factor in the 600k leaving UNH completely which is unlikely. Consider fundamentals. UNH is still a monster in its vertical integration. It has fingers in all things healthcare including behavioral health, urgent care, pharmacy, primary and specialty practice acquisitions. Truthfully they are second to none - larger market cap than Cigna Aetna elevance and contene combined (next 4 largest insurers in USA). And that’s based on CURRENT valuation. There is simply a ton of upside long term here.

Communication Services (+6.7%) was the clear leader, extending its one-month surge to +13.0%. Consumer Staples (+1.4%) and Health Care (+1.1%) also ended higher. On the downside, Energy (-3.0%), Utilities (-1.4%), and Industrials (-1.7%) weighed on the index, signaling rotation out of defensives and rate-sensitive areas.

Beating the index isn’t that hard if you don’t mind taking on risk. Hold SP500 ETF or all market ETF, some QQQ, and some high quality companies like MA, MSFT, LLY, TJX, NVDQ. But you have to follow your portfolio closer.

So muni and emergency fund should never be in the same sentence unless it’s “my emergency fund is not in munis”. sGOV - the short treasury and munis Carrie’s very different risks and one is appropriate for short term liquidity and one is appropriate for long term. - sGOV the reason why it’s good for emergency funds is you don’t know when you need it and when you need it you need it fast regardless if it’s the right time to sell. Short treasury has very little price risk because it matures so quickly. - munis on the other hand generally are 5,10,15 years maturities so your sensitivity to an interest change is significantly higher. You can get caught in a situation where you need to sell at 90 cents on a dollar. - regarding yields are lower. Yes munis yields lower because of the tax benefits. To make comparable apples to apples. Treasury yielding at 5% is the same as a muni yielding at 5*(1-.33)=3.35%. - also if you are committed to munis then look at mutual funds. They have better options that’s customized to your state. (Buying a CA muni while living in MA gives you federal tax break but not state).

MM article: Massachusetts Attorney General Certifies Ballot Measures To Recriminalize Recreational Marijuana Sales I’m surprised that such a liberal state would try to repeal adult use sales. If I had to bet, it either doesn’t make it to the 2026 ballot or it gets voted down. Anyone from MA would like to offer there two cents?

I didn’t get in the weeds with the alleged charges but the basis of fraud goes beyond primary residence designations. Cook’s Cambridge, MA condo was listed on mortgage documents as a second home, not an investment property. Her 2025 financial disclosure report that was filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics shows she earned over $50,000/year in rental income from that same property. This rental activity contradicts the second home designation which typically requires personal use by the owner and severely limits rental frequency. Charges are Cook misrepresented occupancy status to secure favorable loan terms. She failed to disclose rental income on mortgage applications, which would have triggered stricter underwriting and uncovered the property was a rental property, not a primary residence. The discrepancy between mortgage filings and income disclosures is being treated as the evidence of intent to defraud.

It will be hard not to believe that we will be heading to ATL again if we don't get S3 by mid September at this point. Otherwise, trading activity is bearish as fuck and MSOS broke down from it's 20-day MA today.

jgooody

Looking for a bounce on the 20 day MA for MSOS. Underlyings look like they'll test the 50 day MA soon. If we dump at close it's setting up for a lower high which is concerning. Bulls need to show up her or I fear we retest recent lows. To your point, seasonality isn't helping. Perfect opportunity/setup for bears. I sold a few weeks back to lock in gains, I'm slowly starting new positions though on these draw downs.

I’d bet money this is for 2 main reasons: 1. Right now some of the only true leverage large blue states have over the federal government is their contributed revenue from income tax. This admin is probably well aware of how many donor blue states like NY, CA, IL, NJ, MN, MA are actually funding the welfare red states who get more money in funding and grants from the feds than they send back in tax revenue (AL, MS, AK, WV, AZ, MT, KY). There’s been chatter recently of the big blue economies discussing withholding such tax payments as protest. This move would effectively kill that leverage and shift to getting the funds in a more indirect way (thru the supply chain). 2. As others have said, this shifts the funding burden of the government almost completely to the bottom 80-90% of earners in the US. Very wealthy people simply do not consume enough per capita to have the tariffs they pay on goods cover even a small fraction of the taxes they currently pay today. People can rebel by not paying their taxes; they cannot as easily stop eating food or buying clothes and necessities. This is another forced tax cut for the wealthy and tax hike for the poor.

Yikes NVDA > The stock fell as much as 4% to $167.22 on Tuesday, set for a fourth straight negative session and dropping below its 50-day moving average of $171.02. Breaking under this closely watched level is seen as a negative sign of near-term momentum trends. The next stop is its inverted MA price at $125. If it breaks this level, then further downside is in store, near the $105 level

VBC growth has definitely slowed down, but tbh I think that’s more likely good than bad. I basically agree with your view that there’s a shakeout coming and I think it’s already well underway - to me, the collapse of Cano and CareMax were the first big waves, and I expect there were plenty of down rounds across the privately held enablers. I’m just much more bullish on AGL’s prospects at finishing among the winners; they have a real niche among the large physician groups (a different focus market from Aledade’s) with which they have 20-year JVs, a history of generating medical margin, and sufficient scale that focusing on profitability vs pure growth is worthwhile. Aledade may well be the stronger company but I don’t expect we’ll ever have the chance to put money in them, and I see AGL as far above any of the other public competitors (let’s be real, Privia is mostly an FFS shop) To me, the real story here is that semi-resetting MA economics on Jan 1 will have an outsized effect on VBC enablers and the time to get in is likely between now and sometime in the first half of Q4. The same effects everyone is counting on to buoy HUM and UNH will be much more concentrated and impactful in AGL It’s truly a fascinating space, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it evolves in the next 24 months. This is going to be a critical stretch for the future of the US private healthcare industry and IMO that fact is really under-discussed

That's true, but while senior citizen likely = Medicare (or MA), only a fraction of healthcare dollars go through value-based care plans. That said, this current administration, while decimating healthcare relative to actual outcomes, is pushing for stronger involvement in VBC. That said, I foresee VBC being something very different down the road than what it is today. Only the top contenders will still be in the market in \~3-4 years. Aledade will be one of them, maybe Agilon. That said, I agree with OP that this will never be a 10x stock. I don't really agree that it will go 3-4x either. I think it will jump a little, then slow inconsistent growth for the next few years until it's acquired by Aledade, United, or another payer, or fizzles out.

It’s amazing to think that $4 was less than 4 months ago. It really shows just how much of a surprise the elevated utilization / payer mis-pricing phenomenon has been. I really can’t imagine that the major MA plans are going to make this mistake again; if anything, I suspect it’s more likely that they over-correct. We need some version of managed care for the demographic reasons you mentioned and for our broader unsustainable long-term cost trend, and I’d rather a model that puts responsibility for care decisions in the hands of physicians than one that puts it more on payers or regulators. The climb back to $4 may take a bit, but I really do think you’ll be able to recover most of your losses in the next 6-8 months - potentially faster if there are positive early indicators on utilization/MA pricing and the market bakes those into valuation models earlier

TheFearbuyer

Stole this from someone else but it all checked out IMO We’ve just had a bullish MACD crossover on the daily chart — MACD line now curling above signal line, with histogram turning green 📊. This is the first momentum shift we’ve seen in weeks. MA5 & MA10 are tightening at 0.1686, just a whisker above price — a classic coiled spring setup. Price is basing just under these moving averages, often a precursor to a strong breakout when combined with rising MACD and volume build. Add in the after-hours push to 0.1640 (+1.74%), and nearly $10,000 in stealth buys post-close, and the setup is undeniably bullish. We’ve absorbed sellers. We’ve flushed the weak hands. Now we’re seeing momentum shift, volume rotate, and MAs compress. If catalysts align (Tekne, SYME, ELOC clarity)… 💥 And a little bit of hopeium I called out $NINE a few days ago and its up around 28% since then. Very similar chart set up

The_Reformed_Con_92

Mate, everyone losses money when they first start, it's a tough lesson to value what you have and to be content with the profit you make. NO.1 Don't fall into the trap of thinking "what if.." if you exit a position and made profit on the investment, be content with that. It's better to be in the green and continually growing little by little each day than expecting to hit a home run, by doubling or tripling your initial position, only to watch your hard earned money disappearing before your very eyes. NO.2 This is what to expect from the stock market. Not every day you'll make make money. Sometimes you might go a year without turning a profit. But this forces you to actually understand what it is your investing in. What your short term and long term goals are and teaches you to formulate a plan/strategy to reach the targets you've set yourself, both short and long term. NO.3 Seek out a mentor who you trust, your father/uncle/older brother that actually has your best intentions in mind. Someone who can teach you how to make determinations about a company. Guiding you through how to understand things like revenue, earning per share (EPS), moving average (MA), volume, resistance levels, support levels, how much debt they have, pending lawsuits or research trials to test their products etc etc. What things to look out for when the company releases information about upcoming events or activities happening within the company. Using all this information will help you decide if you expect the price to rise or fall. However, this is still an educational guess and regardless of how experienced you are sometimes the stock price has a mind of its own, usually only in the short term. NO.4 Listen to the news, when the president speaks, keep tabs on the conflicts that are taking place around the world as well as growing tensions and understanding what effects this could have on America, the stock market and trade agreements. You'll soon realise how profitable war actually is, how events or illnesses that have no direct impact on Americans can and will effect the stock market, sometimes slightly other dramatically. NO.5 You're starting at the best possible time so congratulations on taking the initiative. You have a great chance on easily becoming a millionaire by 40-50 depending upon your strategy and discipline investing consistently and patience trusting the process. Plus using your capital Invested to borrow against to secure real estate or more capital to reinvest to amplify the compounding effect later down the line, as well as using some of the tax loopholes the rich use to minimise your taxable income and maximising your long term profits. For instance, if you invested $1000 per months ($250p/wk) for 30 years, you'll have an estimated $1.8-$2 Million dollars after investing a total of $360,000. You'll also be making around $50-55k per year in dividends if you decide not to reinvest the dividends anymore. I apologise for the novel but I hope you can use the advice to help you create goals and a step by step plan to achieve them. Keep your financial position to yourself, others will just get jealous or expected you to pay for things/help them out just because you have money and they don't. As you get older you'll have to choose the company you keep intentionally to help you grow and learn but also to to avoid being used by friends and family. Also, be extremely careful when dating women, never share your financial position with a women until you are either married or 100% sure you'll always be with this women. There is unfortunately a lot of pathetic and predatory women out there who will do anything to get close enough to you for her to try steal it, spend it or try blackmail you into handing over years of hard work, sacrifice and consistency. I recommend getting a prenup regardless of how well you know her or trust her. There's many men who are in financial ruins after their wives divorced them and not only took more than 50% of the marital assets but also 50% of his 401k, is forced to pay 25-40% of his income in child support payments and alimony. Leaving the man depressed and screwed over by the women who he not only lived but supported his entire life working hard while she stayed home raising the kids. You know, the hardest job in the world 😂😂 Protect your assets you earned before you got married, if she won't agree don't get married..

I’ve been asking about the 200-MA retest for a while, but each passing week it escapes us. I guess we’ll find out. Hopefully things do pan out the way you describe to let us go long, but who knows how low the madness continues. Keep in mind that historically, markets rally after Jackson Hole, so we may see another 100-200 point jump on SPX.

You mean those colored dots, its Automated fibonacci line drawn from last MA Cross, thise dots are line types in trading view settings.step lines with something i forgot. But it measures at which fib level the bar sits. Its custom.

There are plenty of ways to identify sector rotations. 1. Technical analysis - \-For sectors that have shown incredible growth and rallies, you see \- huge red volume, usually 5x or more than usual along with \-consecutive gap downs post market open. Institutions are more willing to selloff during the initial hour or do pre-market/post-market trades(resulting in those gaps between market hours). \-2x gap downs in a row (Institutions look out/scan for these kinds of stocks and may either reduce/sell positions or initiate short selling. \- 50MA going flat/plateau or sideways is a warning and a downward one is most likely a rotation out of this sector. \-Stock price falls below 50MA and 150/200MA support \-Sector etf shows similar negative patterns as the stock itself with the above checks and you are pretty sure a sector rotation is occuring \-Sector is unable to break strong resistance on the upside and has broken the upward/consolidation trend line. 2.Fundamental analysis \-PE ratios are too high \-Earnings release results in a combination of post earning gap down + high negative closing price when market opens without sufficient buyers to step in. \-Stock prices are not priced to the value of a company at the current but with future expectations that it will become more profitable through earnings guidance or investment bank upgrade/downgrade. If the fundamental story is no longer valid due to market sea changes, it may trigger a sector rotation out very quickly. e.g. V/MA getting a lot less buyers when it trades down with the believe that stablecoins will massively impact its revenue/margins. \-Every quarter, portfolio managers need to readjust their portfolio for all kinds of reasons and that is also a cause of sector rotation. One reason is adjusting the portfolio to include meme/flavor of the month sectors to show stakeholders that they are participating in those rallies or being constrained to hold only a % of a certain sector in their portfolio when a growth holding has risen too much. 3.Insider activity \-Selling evidence from congress. You can use the same sector, Visa/Mastercard, as a current year example. Sales from high profile institutions or top management (CEO) etc. NVDA CEO selling shares and AMD CEO selling shares are treated differently. 1 is ok, the other isn't and the latter is seen as a sign of rotation out by institutional money that is why AMD sold off hard after hitting 180+ and news of insider CEO selling sent stocks down a lot. \-Issuing more shares and stock tanking may lead us to believe that stock price is frothy and holders want to cash out/take profit or are not far from rotating to another sector. Alternatively if a stock issues shares to raise capital and stock remains neutral at least, its a sign of continued strength. \-Unusual activity in the options market where millions of dollars are suddenly being used to buy huge numbers of puts/calls. In short, put/call ration spikes up and over 10x volume over normal trading amount is seen. There are platforms that help detect unusual option activity of varying accuracy and some stock research platforms help you identify if those options are bought/sold which may hint different things. Sometimes a big option trader closing out of his call positions can be treated as a sign. As you can see, there are too many causes/hints for sector rotations and the real list is probably much bigger than this. Which areas we focus on depends on how much they had helped us with our trades to predict those rotations. Never forget that it is impossible to determine the top/bottom. We can at best determine the rough direction for the sectors that we are looking at relying on the tools/information/methods that have given ourselves the highest accuracy.

IsaacVu404

IDK how can you come with that silly conclusion. Correction is a must, it's just when. Historically, could be either early Aug, Mid Sept, or until Oct. And FYI, SPY historically always revisit it's 200MA within 1-2 years. "Since everyone expecting" ? Then's who pumping the Market to fresh ATH if they all expecting correction? Majority is ignoring correction / seasonality at the moment.

Just some thoughts: If you consistently close positions too early, it's not mechanical, it's because you've exceeded your natural risk tolerance. It took me a long time to learn that a $5K position I'm willing to hold to zero is fundamentally better than a potentially more lucrative $15k position I'm scared of. If at all possible, try to be short premium, you've got to reverse that theta There is no manipulation, the market is what it is. No matter how any price was reached, it's a fact. You can trade based on instinct, chopped and screwed technical analysis or some home brew momentum algo, but if you stick to RSI, IV Rank and IV Percentage; along with ATH, ATL, 52 week high, 52 week low and some combination of 50/200 day MA and news you should get a pretty reasonable idea of where the stock (or index) is in a cycle and a broad idea of how to trade it eg today the market was obviously waiting for the fed, Powell was obviously going to be dovish so it's a very reasonable guess to get long. Every trade is a bet and a guess, no one knows anything. Except maybe Renaissance.

I like the way you think. I also believe Cresco will MA w/ someone!

I've been intrigued by CRWD as it has come down and approached its 200 day MA

MA anyone?

directly on top of the 20 MA who coulda guessed (me)

Threat from stable coins and antitrust action from a judge. I personally believe these headwinds are an overreaction. I also own MA. It's great too. Strong upside and growth trend for the next couple years.

I've been a long time MA / V shareholder in the past, but there is a real possibility of disruption with fees in the not so distant future.

RaiseEconomy5779

All three are quality names, but they play pretty different roles. Visa and Mastercard are essentially a duopoly with huge moats, benefiting from the global shift away from cash and with strong pricing power. You’ll get steady, secular growth with both. SPGI is a bit different - it’s tied to financial infrastructure through ratings, indices, and data/analytics, which makes it more cyclical but also gives it exposure to the long-term growth of passive investing and data demand. If you want more of a “toll road on global transactions,” V/MA are hard to beat. If you want exposure to financial data and capital markets, SPGI is a great play. It really comes down to whether you want stability and compounding (V/MA) or something a bit more cyclical with higher upside tied to market activity (SPGI).

RationalExuberance7

This is a horrible idea. Never sell an entire position because of some silly MA or other silly technical indicators If you’re worried about a bubble, keep 30% in cash so you have funds when things reach lows

BlackAnvilEgo42

Leaps should be easy, I keep it straight forward and simple. For leaps I'm only buying blue chip, no tech, no pharma. 90% of my leap trades are SPY. I run a pretty standard 6 bar moving average, starting at a year and halved for every increment, so 12/24/46/91/182 and 364 days. I forecast on the weekly and monthly charts and plot my entry day-of on the hourly. For SPY, anything near or under the 91 day average (weekly) is generally a good buy, under the 182 is excellent, and of course under the year average is a fire sale. My RSI is set at 5/10/20, the deeper you get into the MA, and the longer the term on the chart you're plotting, the more attention you need to pay to RSI. My price target on leaps is always the next line or two of MA up from the buy in. For example, SPY got down to $480 back in April, just between the 91 and 182 day MA. If I'd bought then, deep in the money calls, my target would have been the 46 day MA price of $565, which it recoverd to in early May. I would have first bought an amount of contracts worth roughly a quarter of my total investable funds for the trade in an initial buy, then watched the market closely for opportunities to either average down or buy out the rest of my contracts before the price jumped in the next few days. Deep in the money contracts are usually very responsive to price action and IV. I don't reccomend leaps for high volatility tickers, especially for unseasoned traders, because a couple dollars of lower movement at the right levels of investment could make Buffet's butthole pucker...

Rawkstonks

What signal are you using Its usually a MA but you can decide that

ssferland

From MA, I say called out. May be a generational thing.

YarbianTheBarbarian

Do you have to set these limits up every day or is there a MA based exit in most trading programs? I just haven't explored this aspect, I most but and hold a poke around randomly

Virtual-Chris

Regardless of a bubble or not, have a sell rule for every stock you hold. How much are you willing to lose? Or what level of dip are you willing to tolerate? Are you looking for short term gains or in this to retire in 20-30 years? It might be different for every stock. Most traders will sell when a stock cuts through a major line of resistance… which is typically its 20, 50, or 200 day moving averages (MA). Understand where your stocks are at with respect to their moving averages and decide which ones you’re going to sell when they slice through their 20, 50 or 200 day. I generally have a few hot leaders that I sell if they slice through their 20. Longer hold stocks where I have significant cushion (gains) I’ll be more tolerant… but if something cuts through its 200 day, its gone as there’s nothing stopping it from going lower. Then I’ll pick it back up when it closes above the 200 day MA.

WWR – End of Regular Hours Recap (Aug 20) – Shorts Leaning, $0.70 Holding Closed RTH at $0.7081, with AH already ticking down to $0.7000. The range today was $0.675 – $0.750, almost an 11% swing. Looks ugly on the chart, but the flow + order book show more going on than just “selling.” Order Flow Snapshot Inflows: $42.4M Outflows: $30.1M Large Orders: +$14.9M (green again after last week’s -$66M) So even while price was pushed down, more money came in than went out. Medium and small sells did the capping — not big exits. Tape & Book Action Push to $0.75 early → heavy walls appeared on the ask. Walked down steadily through the afternoon. EMAs (5/10/20) rolled bearish late session = shorts pressing momentum. Bid support kept showing at $0.70–0.68, no clean break yet. Why I’m Watching Long 1. Retail Float Control – 83.6% retail-owned, 10.3% insiders, 7.7% institutions (Vanguard, BlackRock, Geode). Shorts can lean, but they don’t own the book. 2. Short Interest Rising – +3,200% surge recently, \~1.8% float. Pressure is building. 3. Big Buys Returning – large orders flipped green the past two sessions. That matters more than algos dumping 200–500 share lots. Key Levels Support: $0.70 → $0.68 (needs to hold) Resistance: $0.75 (today’s cap) → $0.95 → $1.32 (52w high) Game Plan If $0.70 holds into tomorrow, I’m long-biased. Break above $0.75 with >1.5M volume = shorts in trouble, next stop $0.95+. Lose $0.68 with volume = retest of $0.65 (50d MA). --- Not advice — just reading the tape. Curious if others are seeing the same pressure into the close and whether that $0.70 wall can keep holding.

Short MA and VWAP crossing long MA, volume is up and there’s 2 drugs in trial with positive outlook towards the results. It looks to be consolidating right now and will run over $4

Vivid-Willow5100

How far it is from the 50 day MA (currently at ~$152) is what the market makers typically use to determine extended-ness.

Competitive-Ant2876

Using just MA- can signal false moves. What other indicators are you using? Are you using sma or ema?

200cents

In a few days the 50 MA will cross the 200 MA for MSOS. It's called a golden cross and bullish event. Look for this to happen and make sure to monitor your holdings. Such an event could easily push the stock to run up to the next level and beyond. In this case perhaps close the gap and further. If positive news coincide with such an event watch out.

Pointsmonster

AGL is doing well for me, but I’ve put that out here before (and always gotten downvoted lol). I work in that industry and know it well, and I think the market over-corrected on their struggles this year. People still mostly don’t understand their business and the funds flow is admittedly convoluted, but the short story is I basically buy management’s explanation they reworking / exiting their payer contracts and focusing on Medicare Advantage quality incentives will turn the ship around. Most of that resets 1/1, plus their economics are downstream of the MA plans that got hammered this year and should correct for it in their 2026 bids, so if they are even moderately competent I expect a significant improvement in financial performance in the first half of next year. I bought during the dip and my cost basis is $0.89-0.90. It’s already grown nicely, but I’m holding. I think anywhere between $1.25 and $3 is fair game for the end of this year (depending on Q3 Medicare utilization patterns) and would expect a return to the $3-4 range next year, with potential upside beyond that if they have better than expected success in contracting. All that said, however, I could also see this getting acquired if it stays below $2 for any real period of time. Payers have been trying to get into the provider VBC enablement space for a while, and a few already have the right vehicles for it. Considering ELV created Mosaic as a vehicle for doing exactly this, and partnered with the same CD&R team (under Ravi Sachdev) that grew and spun out AGL, I wouldn’t be surprised if they used this opportunity to bring AGL into the fold

Can you share your MA200 strategy?

Scannerguy3000

Not directly related; but as an aside, I don’t do any multi-legged plays. I’m not in front of the computer, so I’ll just rattle this off from memory. Three general sections. Strike < : Whatever cash I have / 100 200-day exponential MA > 0. (Is the underlying going in the toilet?) Time to expiry: Usually 1 - 21 days. 50 day RSI > .50 (is the RSI increasing) 14 day RSI > 50 day RSI (is it curving up?) 5 days RSI < .90 (make sure it’s not already creating the peak and about to fall) IV Volume I’m probably leaving something out. Safety measures Delta < whatever your risk tolerance Probability of finishing OTM > 70% %BE Bid < -7% (how much buffer do I have if the trade starts going against me) I’m probably forgetting something. If I get less than 15-20 hits, I loosen some of the filters a little. If I get more than 35 hits, I tighten some of the filters a little. I don’t filter on it, but I also output columns for “option finishes before earnings”, and Put/Call ratio skew. I dump the CSV file with the 20-30 results into my spreadsheet where I have a prebuilt tab with color conditional formatting on each column, and helper formula columns at the end. One is a composite formula based on all the columns, expressing “how good is each play”. One calculates how many contracts I can buy or each row (there’s a cell at the top where I put my current budget). One calculates the total gain - specific dollars. One calculates ROC. One calculates Returns per DTE. Each column highlight the above average 50% in green, and the lowest 1 in red. (You have to know for each column whether positive or negative is “good”). I usually sort by each column that’s primarily relevant, and plink off the bottom scoring row. This gets me down to maybe 5 survivors. Usually one of those will be a ticker name like DJT or TSLA that I just say “absolutely not” then I pick the remaining one that seems like the most ROC or total gain, with the highest $ per DTE.

After a sharp intraday drop, I am looking for IBTA to rebound to support levels. The 10 day MA is $33.04. Low float and a lot of institutional ownership in the stock and once the Q2 miss and lower Q3 is digested, the stock should get a bounce up.

Anyone can sue anybody for any readon. Doesn't mean you will win. Even with your "employment contract" you will likely lose unless the company is so afraid of litigation they settle. But since most companies know how to play the legal game even with these things written down they get yanked. No e seen it happen and had it happen to me despite "employment contract" aka not a contract just some written agreement that's not legally binding in anyway in most US States. If you live in places with robust labor laws, like CA or MA those can be binding but on most states not so much.

vrtb3xscqm

A tale as old as time, and a love so pure. MA 10 and MA 50. I love when both go up

Virtual-Chris

Look at your portfolio and decide which stocks to hold through a downturn and which to sell for cash. You should have a sell rule on every risky stock you own so that if it drops to 10% of its value in a downturn you’re not losing all your gains. Most savvy investors use a moving average to determine when to sell (and buy). Most stocks will pause on a downturn at their 20-day moving average… as it provides some “resistance”. If it bounces off the 20-day… keep it and watch it. In a real down turn, the stock price will break through that 20-day MA… if that happens, sell it. And pick it or something else up when it comes back above the MA. The challenge in this market is some high flying stocks are at 30% or more above their 20-day MA, meaning if you wait for it yo cross that before selling you’ve wiped out a lot of your gains. So maybe look at the 5-day for these high flyers.

Southern_Ad2408

Ngl i waited for the candle to reject off and i entered on the bounce of the MA. Targeted the high trendline up and js sold when it started to sell

Gtwo

It is sitting on the weekly 200MA which could be a bounce point. Need to give it time though. Could look towards an end of the year OTM debit spread as a lower cost trade for those with smaller accounts.

Varyunya

You know i never thought about that, yes my max loss is \[enter amount\] but i can leave whenever. also is there a place you got this information from or no. Furthermore, the MA thing applies to all stocks right, even ones that basically are pumped daily?

Sabunit

For longer-dated options, I’d base decisions more on the 4h and 1d charts rather than just news or emotions. Looking at ADBE on 4h: MACD is about to cross, price just moved above MA9, RSI is coming off the bottom – same picture on the 1d. Last bounce came off MA40 with RSI ~50. If candles start closing above MA9 again, and we push towards MA26 (~350), that could be a good spot to either take profit or move your stop-loss into gains. And wait.

ivegotwonderfulnews

right!?! even the stuff the algos love to hate are trying to manage the MA to the downside. I think a bunch of money is not positioned well for additional upside and at this point in the year you either need to play catch up or hope you catch a change in trend with size. Going to be an interesting last 4.5 months (cant believe that whats left of '25!)
