MA

I'm sorry this happened to you. If you decide to ever do options again, here are some tips I can share with you: Only trade options on mega cap companies, 80% funds for selling puts, only consider buying calls when VIX is over 30. Keep your delta below .2 for sold puts, expiration date 2-5 weeks, use RSI, MA 50/100/200 for references. At times when everything seems to be unstable, just wait don't impulse trade. I hope you get back up eventually, good luck!

Obv it was undervalued but the moment to buy was when it crossed the 200 MA up on that graph. Holding it deep into overbought territory was also very smart.

I typically use SPX gamma that a buddy of mine crunches, and use that with basic ma's and basic candle stick patterns for confirmation. Like if the key strike for the day is bullish gamma, I'll take into consideration a stocks candlestick pattern in relation to set up. Also knowing stock rotations, what stocks are beaten down etc. It comes with experience, and having an edge, in this case it's data. I can intuitively look at a chart and go, "okay 5 MA is right there, it's riding trend", or notice a breakout pattern in correlation with where the index is going.

> I’m just providing why I’m bullish. IMO though even if you're bullish, I think people are more willing to listen/entertain an idea if you offer a realistic portrayal of some concerns and risks (you say this: "Since obtaining its bank charter in 2022, SoFi can hold deposits and fund loans itself" - that's not appealing; you're describing something that nobody's going to want to own during a downturn.) In 2020/21, Upstart was "the new AI way to lend" and in 2022 it was "HOLY SHIT THEY SAID THEY WEREN'T GOING TO TAKE ALL THESE LOANS ON THEIR BOOK AND OMG THE MARKET FOR THESE LOANS IS FROZEN AND WHEN WILL THE STOCK STOP GOING DOWN." Fintech is exciting when times are good, not so much when times are bad - especially if it's a newer product without an extensive history in downturns (in the S-1 filing for UPST they literally said their algo didn't have a lot of experience with downturns.) Honestly, if I had to own a financial that actually makes loans, (not something that's a network like V/MA) I'd rather get/forget AXP (which is up 97% over the last 5 years while SOFI is -19%) than this. Owning AXP into a downturn isn't going to be fun either but with their customer base I'd feel better about that than SOFI. I think a lot of younger people have had good experiences with this company so they think the stock is great - it's been constently talked about on here for a while now - but their good experiences don't = good stock and I think it leads to overlooking risks. "The pitch is simple: once a customer is in the ecosystem, they rarely leave, and each product they add increases lifetime value." The question is how much value vs risk. " I’m not guaranteeing any returns." Nobody thinks you're guaranteeing returns but "only the good and none of the bad" really isn't a realistic portrayal of the business is all. Good luck.

Analysts have 3 to $5 share price targets and that’s before any of this new news and the amazing earnings that I predict will come that will mean that their targets will end up being higher we are still earley. Finally risen above the 200 MA for the first time ever so will now act as support which will be amazing

New-Performance-7047

I’ve been swing trading since March since deciding on my trading plan. 0DTE is crazy to me! I trade only call options, at least 30DTE, set stop loss at 2ATR, roll for profit at 1-2 ATR if possible and each 1/2 ATR if possible and will keep rolling up and/or out as long as its paying. I use 10/20/50 MA to identify directional trend and buy on the way up and sell on the way down (asap in both directions). I will sit in an interest bearing fund until my setups occur as long as it takes to not FU my account. That’s the plan, but I got cheeky and tried to put on some trades outside of my plan and reduced my profits from 120% in 3 months to 70% in one week. Stick to the PLAN!

The market wanted to rotate from the AI trade at the beginning of the year. Due to the Iran War, the market defaulted back to the AI trade. That is why RSP was up 5% in the first 2 months while SPY was mostly flat. Now RSP is only up 5%, while SPY is up 8%. That just shows how big the AI trade is. At the same time, market breadth is worse than it was at the beginning. The year started with about 60% of SP500 companies above its 50day MA. Now it's only 45%.

SNDK would be more than MA. That's crazy.

mongopark98

Roll solely based on DTE and delta. Rolling on delta only when the underlying is not doing well and the delta is falling below 0.65. For DTE roll further out when you have between 150-180days left. Taking profit even though looks right on the surface caps upside. One caveat is , this is only if this is intended for a long term stock replacement strategy. The other thing that helps improve drawdown is to liquidate when the underlying MA or RSI is breached.

That-SoCal-Guy

Because earnings are strong (for now) and because these lag behind current or future policies.  Inflation doesn’t hit the stock market immediately.  Rates do.  Come back in 6 months and let us know how your portfolio is going.   People don’t understand the time factor in any of this - some things are immediate and short term (such as geopolitical tensions) and some things take time to take effect.  If you look at the charts you will see irrationality cooked into the market right now especially between short (20d MA) and long term (200d MA) for example.  Anyone who is just looking at what is happening now are missing something important.

These are all major changes reported yesterday from major institutional fund managers; * **Delta Air Lines (DAL):** Berkshire Hathaway made a massive return to airlines, dropping **$2.65B** to build a 39.8M share stake in Delta—reversing Buffett's 2020 pandemic exit. * **Alphabet (GOOGL):** Berkshire aggressively tripled its stake in Google's parent company, adding **36.4M shares** to make it their 7th largest holding ($15.6B total). * **Microsoft (MSFT):** Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square bought the dip after MSFT's early-year pullback, establishing a massive new **5.65M share** flagship position. * **Amazon (AMZN) & Entertainment:** Berkshire completely exited its legacy positions in **Amazon** and trimmed down its consumer stakes to consolidate firepower. * **Visa (V), Mastercard (MA), & UnitedHealth (UNH):** Berkshire liquidated its entire stake in these financial and healthcare giants, reducing its total stock count from 42 down to 29. * **Alphabet (GOOG):** Bill Ackman aggressively gutted his existing Google position, cutting it down to just over 311k shares. * **Chevron (CVX):** Berkshire took massive profits on energy, dumping roughly **$8 billion** worth of Chevron shares after it hit all-time highs in March. Yes it's true, I have used AI to help me make this list.

Motley Fool has been around a long time, but their results have NEVER been audited. They can say anything they want to. I want to see their average results of their 200+ buy rating stocks. What the standard deviation (it has to be large with a NVDA along with 90% losses of FMC and UPST) I love to see the avg for top 25, bottom 25, mean 25, mode 25, bottom and top outliers removed, z scores, etc. Let Ernst & Young, KPMG or some other firm audit them. Motley Fool; the check is in the mail, I won't 1(&\^ in your mouth. What is INSANE with Motley Fool is lack of risk management: buy and hold blind is asinine. If you're holding a new industry like quantum ok that is going to be a wild ride but a blue-chip? There are only so many buy and hold blind stocks. I call them HUSSAH: my acronym for Hold Unless Something Stupid Asshole Happens. Apple, Microsoft, Walmart, Amazon, Taiwan Semiconductor, Costco, Google: that is it. Coming close is IBM, ASML. AVGO, MA, META, V That is it holding anything else blind: YOU ARE A FOOL!!! Before getting thrown off and refunded my money for punching holes in Fool principles (they called me too disruptive, so I was silenced and refunded my money). Fool is like a religious cult: it could be as DARK as Jonestown under Jim Jones in the late 1970;s if you're unlucky to hold the right Fool picks. **The rear-view mirror - 5-year graphs**, good companies stay good companies. I posted I was buying INTEL at $19 last year. About 30 "Mario Gabelli's" posted 5-year graphs. "Look. look past performance is indicative of future performance." This is ignorance and being brainwashed by Fool theories. Geopolitical, new management. etc. things change: shit happens good and bad. **Rigid long‑term holding rules**, **overreliance on growth narratives**, **no risk‑management framework**, and **a business model that rewards optimism over accuracy**. # Rigid “hold for 5+ years” doctrine Motley Fool explicitly instructs investors to hold every pick for **at least five years**, regardless of market conditions or price structure. This eliminates tactical exits. It forces investors to ride catastrophic drawdowns. It treats all stocks as if they follow the same growth trajectory. I can list a lot of the following examples and this creates DEAD MONEY, dollars wasted that could have been saved and used somewhere else. FMC: $110 and 6 months later $12, DIS $100 covid rides to $250 after covid down to $70's (I bought at $110 with a 20% stop loss so when DIS fell my Stop was triggered at $198, 4 years later Disney $106. 04/2022 AT&T is at $35 and cuts its dividend in half, I sold that day at $34+, today T is at $25, UPST buy at $320and ride it down to $40. # No risk management — ever Their doctrine includes **no stop‑losses, no trimming, no exit strategies**, and no mechanism for acknowledging a broken thesis. User reviews repeatedly highlight this as a cause of large losses, especially during COVID‑era volatility, where subscribers report losing **\~50%** following Fool picks. This is not an accident — it’s baked into the system. I call it FOOL ZOMBIE HOARD - buy, hold 5 years no matter what, look at the 5-year graph as good companies stay good companies and bad stay bad, ride a company down to the depths off Tartarus (FMC -89.5% loss so you need a moon shot of 900% to break even).

xpxf69

Wow. Berkshire liquidated their entire positions in AMZN, V, MA, UNH, DPZ.

OnlineGuides

That sucks, but it’s super common. The real problem is that you didn’t have an exit plan you could follow. Take some profit early (like 1 or 2 R), then keep a small runner and trail it with something simple (20/50 MA or last swing low). That’s how you stay in the big moves without staring at every tick. And don’t buy those names again out of pain. Build a new list and find the next movers. Use a screener like takeprofitcom to spot strong momentum + volume names and set alerts so you’re not chasing.

About 2 weeks ago, the shorts bailed on these stocks. It is to early to say whether they will drop perceptively. I would not be surprised a pull back to the 50-day MA at this point.

Amazing_Target1721

It’s forward P/E is 108.7, ttm is over 400 which to me would be ok but p/s is 27.5 compared to 24 ttm same with p/b. I wouldn’t jump in but it’s right at the 200 day MA if I did decide to, I would scale into it and build a position over time. My opinion but I would not buy before 6/3 earnings. Everything is seemingly priced for perfection and it could give you a better price for the long haul. Just some thoughts, bedtime here. Cheers 🍻

-Authorised-

Last time it got above the 200 MA it rose 300% a few years ago I would say look for that kind of bounce from So 50c. But dont sell until you get a few red days (2-3) where low goes below previous red candle. cause it just go on a rampage

SoftBreezeWanderer

What worked for me was high conviction trade based on company performance + geopolitical landscape instead of technicals. Sure I use MA, RSI/MACD, all that stuff. But that should only really impact like 20% of your trade imo. I never touch weeklies or even a few months. Usually just buy leaps on a few companies I'm confident in that will do well. E.g. some of my recent plays were goog leaps back in April 2025, buying $MU back in September when I noticed ram prices were skyorcketing, that kind of stuff. Next play for AI will likely be in energy, or it will pop. I'm personally avoiding anything leveraged for now because the market to me seems crazy irrational right now. But yeah I'm of the opinion that unless you have the tools and technology (and info) that Goldman has to take advantage of arbitrage, you're going to lose money on any short-term plays

ThisIsStryx

Ooh. Hmm wow interesting, thanks for your insight. I'll admit I'm one of these people (but ik better, im just impatient) However, id like to go out on a limb and beg to differ on your point about any and all forms of 'purely technical daytrading' (hopefully im not misquoting you here). If youre willing to tolerate a bit of nonsense, could i put you on the primary indicator i use and get your thoughts? (i also understand that this should not be my primary source of information OVERALL but everybody ends up dabbling with all that at first before going to firther reading if they have to, you feel me) So what i did is i finetuned my MACD to clearly filter for the primary kinds of moves and price action that ive identified so far (for sideways movement, yes there is always uncertainty in how long it lasts so its not perfect but actually whats cool about this is that the signals theoretically only become clearer over time under those circumstances, more on that in a sec), like i just adjusted it until the crossovers correlated strongly and for long enough that the signal feels tradeable most times. But then what i did is i set up alerts for this one indicator over multiple timeframes on the graph (1/5/10/15/30/60m). I think tbh im not really onto anything new here cuz this is functionally equivalent to just looking at EMA bands for those same timeframes or something but whats cool about this is its one indicator = only one finetuned config. Correct me if im wrong but i think its possible part of the perceived edge i think i have is due to this MACD setup using # of *bars* as its data source as opposed to strictly a time window, seems to me like the flaw with MAs in general is that market events arent time-bound in the slightest, in large part. So the difference between MACD and MA crossover(s) is my 1m alert actually looks at the past 5mins of data, the 5min- 25, then 50, etc. those arent indicative of the actual settings, ehh F it no reason to be secretive- i use 12, 34, 5 with closing price as the data source atm (i wish i could say i was joking but im so fr plug this in and lmk what you think about the signals this config gives *across multiple timeframes*) Ok full disclosure: I'm not profitable yet. I hope and believe I will be soon (i should be papertrading in the meantime but well ig im just a masochist 😂). I haven't figured out how to trade when the signals are within channels but patience is also a virtue. The most obvious case i will point to though, going back to earlier (sorry for the long post btw) is when ALL of the alerts are True/False (can discount the 1hr signal, too few and far between but we have it for extra redundancy), obviously that can only mean one thing, that price has broken our from ALL of those channels and can only possibly move in one direction until we see the next 1m cross, at which point we can assess. Turns out, the longer the price moves sideways, yes it does become much noisier on the 1m but what its doing is its gradually gathering like the 5, 10, 15m into one group then if it squeezes *boom* all of those flip at around the same time (and THIS time-bound event IS a real signal, again correct me if im wrong) Thats the basic theory, what are yalls thoughts?

Level-Concept-4713

i’m still more interested in the “second order” AI plays than the obvious chip names tbh 😭 been watching power/infrastructure stuff like ETN, VRT, PWR, and even some utilities because the AI buildout is turning into an energy + grid story now, not just a semiconductor story. a lot of analysts have been talking lately about how data centers are driving huge demand for electricity/cooling infrastructure too. outside of that, i still like boring compounders like BRK.B, MA, JPM, and WM for longer-term holds since they’re easier to sleep with during volatility. also been seeing a lot of people posting their daily buys/setups in a 60,000+ member investing/trading community i’m in, lots of market breakdowns, sector discussions, and long-term ideas daily: https://discord.gg/tV47E6F8bn

Reasonable-Dare-6865

pypl has been range-bound for a while so timing the comeback is the tricky part. if you're going long, watching the 200-day MA for a clean break above it gives you a better entry than just guessing a bottom. also keep an eye on their next earnings call since fintech sentiment shifts fast. if you want to play it as a perp instead of holding shares outright, markets xyz lets you trade PYPL-style setups 24/7 without waiting for markет hours.

New-Performance-7047

Although i’ve been trading for a few years now, I recently came across a YouTube channel with a different approach to trading than anyone else I have seen. He’s entered into the US investing championship and conducts all his trades live on air, putting his money where his mouth is and was mentored by 4 top investors including Mineveri. Basically teaching how to create your own investing plan and he provides free excel templates to help. I worked on my plan starting around Oct ‘25 and began working it January’26. I started the year with roughly 50k and now have 116k. I’m following MY plan and might be sitting in “cash” in an SGOV account until the markets signal a more favorable market. Buying calls on the uptrend , 30-60 day DTE, 80 delta, setting stop limits ( my biggest learning curve), rolling for credit whenever possible and exiting losers asap. Protecting my initial 50k is my only goal. That’s when my emotions might come into the equation, other than that I don’t care about the noise. I just follow my plan. I use his templates to evaluate the stocks i find using all time highs on barchart. I look at the 10/20/50 MA to see direction and follow volume to have others to trade with. Options aren’t effortless but they ARE as easy as you make them!

SuffiecientSapian

I’ve known about MU and MRVL since like 2022 hell I rode up AVGO and TSM a good bit too. Just me personally I think it’s way overextended by both MA and RSI like these are in extreme overbought territory. I’m bullish on a lot of thing though like for me personally energy infrastructure like BE, UUUU, FCX, GEV and then outside stuff too complete unrelated to AI. However I know for a fact at even banks they are working to compress memory usage for software to lower margin cost and dependency. You don’t think that’s happening all across major software companies? They’ll just keep paying out the ass and on top of that every single memory company wins? Someone WILL come out on top but do I believe nonstop pump? Absolutely not

They aren't an automatic "buy" signal, but it does show that the stocks are in an uptrend when they trade above the MA's. The trend is your friend. I like to buy strong stocks.

TheFinancialScope

When a single stock becomes 60% of your portfolio, the issue isn’t RKLB, it’s position sizing. A simple rule many investors use is the 5–10% max allocation per position. Anything above that becomes portfolio risk, not conviction. What I usually do in this situation is trim back to a size I’m comfortable with, lock in part of the gains, and let the rest run if the trend is still intact (price still above the 50‑day MA, volume strong). You don’t need to sell everything, just bring the position back to a level where a bad day doesn’t blow up your portfolio.

Spiritual_Bat7343

the issue with calling these names similar is they actually trade on completely different drivers despite the value label. ELV is managed care getting whipsawed by MA reimbursement updates. MCK is wholesale pharma sensitive to GLP1 distribution. ADM is ag commodities tracking crop reports. SEB is specialty staples plus ag with idiosyncratic margin compression. they end up in the same broad bucket because of P/E or yield but the catalysts driving each are unrelated. the dispersion you are seeing is mostly idiosyncratic news flow on each name not a unified factor signal. its actually pretty common in the back half of an earnings cycle when individual reports start landing and the macro tape is sleepy.

Spookiest_Meow

I use the stock screener on [stockanalysis.com](http://stockanalysis.com) to export a list of all stocks into Excel, and then I use filters and column formatting rules to find stocks I want based on various metrics like P/E Ratio, Debt/Equity, Free Cash Flow, Return %s over various time periods, etc. When you identify stocks you might like, you look at the stock charts across various time periods - particularly all-time, 5 year, 1 year, etc. If you want to be more precise, you can look at 1 year, 6 month, 3 month, 1 month etc. charts with Moving Average indicator overlays and RSI to determine whether or not it's a good time to buy that specific stock. Another thing you can do is look at ETFs that select stocks by specific metrics, like VIG, and then look at their holdings. A lot of those are ones I'd naturally select based on my own research, for example ABBV, V, MA, KO, WM etc. * use a stock screener * export the data to a spreadsheet app * format columns for visibility and filter * identity good potential stocks via various financial metrics * look at their charts * look at moving average indicators and RSI, or whatever indicators you like * buy whatever meets your desired criteria and looks good

Zealousideal_Jump951

Based on some indicators, price already fell below MA 20/50 which is usually bearish, most volume was at 68.33, current volume is negative but price is high, apperently insiders sold alot recently and it currently has big trouble climbing above 81 again, im thinking 70 will be possible in the next couple o days. There are barely any dip buyers and big positive news (Panther announcement at Dell Tech World, May 5) have barely influenced the stock.

Stop listening to Reddit. Buy America, buy good companies, buy tech. There is no bubble. For instance right now as the memory cycle is at its peak, stocks are META and MA are very undervalued.

ThetaEdgeHQ

the strategy has a real edge but the diversification piece is doing less work than it looks. COST, WMT, and MA all load heavily on the consumer defensive plus rate sensitivity factor. when markets de risk into staples and rates pull back, all three rip together. when rates spike or recession sentiment hits, all three sell off together. you've got three names that read uncorrelated by sector code but trade like one factor bet. running the same BPS structure on all three at the same DTE compounds that single exposure rather than diversifying it. the gamma piece at 10 to 15 DTE matters more than the IV piece on low IV names. with strikes near ATM the short put gamma accelerates inside the last 5 days. if a name moves 2 percent against you on day 12, you can be at 0.30 delta short. on day 4 with the same 2 percent move you are at 0.45 to 0.50 delta. the win rate stays at 90 plus percent but the average loss when you do take one is fat enough to eat 8 to 10 wins. that's the actual risk, not the headline win rate. the structural improvement that addresses both is staggering DTEs (some 30 day, some 14 day, some weekly) across the three names rather than all 10 to 15 DTE. that smooths the gamma profile and keeps you from being caught with all positions at peak gamma during a single regime shift. plus rotating in a name with different factor loading (energy, healthcare like Groucho's PFE point, materials) for the same systematic approach kills the hidden correlation.

This this most likely coming to the 20 month MA around 50 shekels

MA is b/w 4.40-4.90

Ok-Nose29

Meta and Microsoft's charts are horrible they are never breaking above that 200 MA

JTexpo

the 20 day MA is only 2->3% under , there's eventually going to be a dip, but I think a lot of people are overly bearish - thinking that the dip is going to be 10%+

MitchCurry

|Timeframe|MA|V| |:-|:-|:-| |YTD|\-11.3%|\-6.6%| |1Y|\-9.2%|\-5.3%| |3Y|36.6%|48.2%| |5Y|38.2%|46.1%| |10Y|456.5%|354.9%| MA has underperformed recently compared to V but I'd hardly say it's been poor in comparison.

More international exposure, EU trying to move away from V/MA? I don't know tbh.

lol Yeah, $20min if you work in food services that’s a chain. Thats how much I got paid with a MA 12yrs ago

MA TU RA BA TE TE.. what a beautiful phrase

stoweker

Dude office REITs are not returning to 4 caps, ever. Not happening. Maybe at best total fwd value gets back to an 8 cap for the premier assets but suggesting this stuff ever is worth less than a 5 is just… fake. Also don’t forget that TI/LC isn’t roi accretive right now for most leases AND the tier 1 markets like Boston and San Diego and SF got so stupid fucking overbuilt that even Cambridge MA won’t absorb all of the oversupply in the next decade let alone the greater Boston oversupply in tge burbs where Alexandria owns a lot of this stuff. Think it’s valued just right right now. Don’t see the fundamentals improving in near term for office let alone way overbuilt supplied spec office.

The volume question is interesting when you consider the earnings backdrop. 84% beat rate with 27.8% growth is genuinely strong fundamentals. But the low participation (53% above 200-day MA) suggests this rally isn't pulling in broad institutional conviction. What makes this setup unusual is the disconnect between earnings strength and market participation. Normally when fundamentals are this solid, you'd see broader buying and higher volume confirming the move. Instead we're getting index highs driven by concentrated performance in mega-caps while most stocks drift. The sustainability question becomes: can strong earnings eventually pull in the missing volume and broaden participation, or does the narrow leadership eventually exhaust itself? History suggests earnings quality usually wins over time, but the timing can be frustrating for anyone not in the leading names.

I don’t hate this. Claude says TATT (TAT Technologies) Earnings Summary Stock vs. normal ∙ Current: ~$36.71 ∙ 52-week range: ~$23.37–$55.46 — sitting at ~41% of range, ~34% off ATH ∙ 200-day MA: $40.4 — stock trading below it ∙ Has pulled back hard from $55+ peak in March ∙ Analyst PTs: Stifel $53 (lowered from $60), Truist $61, Benchmark $66, Lake Street $59, B. Riley Buy ∙ Avg PT roughly $58 (~58% upside from current) Last earnings (Q4/FY2025, March 18, 2026) ∙ Q4 revenue: $46.5M (+13.4% YoY) ∙ Q4 adj EBITDA: $6.9M vs $5.5M last year ∙ FY2025 revenue: $178.0M (+17.0%) ∙ FY2025 gross profit: $44.1M (+33.6%) ∙ FY2025 operating income: $18.8M (+50.5%) ∙ FY2025 net income: $16.8M (+50.6%) ∙ Backlog: $550M Recent contract ∙ March 11, 2026: $36M APU MRO contract with global cargo carrier — 2-year extension on 331-200/250 ($22M) + new 4-year on 331-500 ($14M) Q1 2026 setup (May 20, 2026 BMO) ∙ EPS estimate: $0.35 ∙ Revenue estimate: $46.27M ∙ Last comp (Q1 2025): revenue +23.6%, net profit +80.7%, adj EBITDA +56.2% Earnings reaction history ∙ Q4 2025 (Mar 18): revenue beat on margins/EBITDA → stock got hit -7%+ in subsequent weeks (now $36 from $55) ∙ Q3 2025 (Nov 12): EPS $0.37 vs $0.39 est — MISS -5%, stock -0.7% on the print but -7.89% on the date notice ∙ Q2 2025: EPS $0.30 vs $0.28 est — beat (+5.26%); revenue $43.1M vs $43.84M est — small miss ∙ Q1 2025: revenue +23.6%, net profit +80.7% Pattern TATT had a strong run YTD then sold off hard from peak. Stock now well off highs even though fundamentals continued strong. Note the recent commentary: Near-Term APU Disruptions Offset by Supply Recovery and Strong Backlog Support for Long-Term Upside — APU segment having near-term disruptions, which is partly why Stifel cut PT from $60 to $53. Print is May 20 (later than the others you’ve been asking about). Earnings reactions tend to be modest on TATT (low float, lighter trading). Multiple Buy ratings, but the chart is in a downtrend below 200-day MA, which is the technical concern. Fundamentals remain growing — disconnect between business and stock for the moment.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The momentum setup of VOO is developing nicely. Passing criteria: price above 50-day MA; price above 150-day MA; price above 200-day MA; within striking distance of 52-week high. Still needs: 50-day MA below 150-day — bearish structure; 150-day MA below 200-day — macro weakness. The 12% recovery from recent lows shows emerging buying interest this could be early-stage base formation. The setup has potential to mature into a high-conviction entry if the remaining criteria are met.

Illustrious_Mix4946

ANEL is in a Stage 2 advancing phase the most favorable stage for longs. Price is trading above a rising 30-week moving average, which confirms the uptrend. Ideally, volume should expand on upside moves to confirm institutional participation. The trend structure remains intact as long as price holds above the 30-week MA at approximately 22.96. Watch out how prices are reacting near 26 https://preview.redd.it/mbvfekbbhnyg1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0482d4e4da06d17c2497095a3f2317f4deeb4ad2

Illustrious_Mix4946

Overall structure seems good but might see a minor correction. Strong momentum setup. The stock is meeting 5 out of 7 SEPA criteria: price above 50-day MA; price above 150-day MA; price above 200-day MA; overall uptrend confirmed by price structure; within striking distance of 52-week high. Look for tight consolidation near highs as a potential buy point, with volume confirmation on any breakout above 183.25. The moving averages are properly stacked this is the hallmark of a leader in an advancing trend. https://preview.redd.it/arx462eddnyg1.jpeg?width=1439&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5f38b43df346e0c7b1fdedc9d3a472c5a4d4aab

# MA Climate Action Portfolio is performing better than most portfolios lol

Su Bae: We going up. Regards: Yes sir. Su Bae: YES MA'AM!

Think MA just has higher growth expectations that Visa. Slightly more risk on out of the two

Frozen_Shades

MA isn't taken at Costco.

Blue_Moon_City

What is happening to MA compared to Visa this week?

abroadbroadband

SPY look around, there's no reason to be so high And SPY like, # Nah! I'MA DO MY OWN THING. 🦾🦾

zxc123zxc123

No one knows about supply shocks but if I had to guess? Probably look for the high quality among the cheapies (Mag8 dips, MSFT among Saaspolocypse, LVMH/NKE to play the rebounds instead of say TPR, strong industrials like DAL if it dips), inflation hedges like gold if it's below $4k or pricing power strength via AXP/V/MA on better PE valuations, probably deleveraging from UPRO to SSO and SSO to VOO now, commodities might be good but it's too hard to guess, RE if you can afford it, and probably don't hold too much cash but if you do then probably just a small amount in ST notes. I think this cause I see inflation coming down the pipeline.

Really interested to see the disconnect, looking across the sector V and MA up, payment processors (TOST, Adyen, Four, XYZ) down or flat.

Calls on MO and MA right before end of day

Life-Trade-6514

Not loving META being under its 200MA

TrailerParkBuddha

I want to buy calls on MA because they report earnings tomorrow and Visa reported today and ripped 8%, but the options chain is illiquid and the spreads are intimidating. I don't know how to trade it.

LumpyShock9656

MA never allows to move more than 3%. It's stuck in the purgatory

Mordrim

This rally is hiding a lot of weaknesses. Market breadth has been narrow, with only 53% of SP500 companies above their 50day MA. Only 2 sectors (XLK and XLRE) made new ATHs after the March swoon. Unless we get a lot more participation from the other sectors, I don't think this rally is sustainable.

InvestigatorHefty799

If V did good, then MA has to print too, right? That's enough DD for me

SuspiciousSpyderman

I sold $MA right before Visa earnings. I need that meme of the guy putting his hand on another guy's shoulder.

SuspiciousSpyderman

I sold MA for a 1% profit, too much of a pansy to hold through visa and ma earnings

JohnnyStrides

Amex being a niche, "luxury product" is exactly why it's more resilient than V or MA. Even if the rest of the world moves to lower-cost, commodity networks they'll just replacing the low-value, high volume transactions that V & MC dominate (that's if they even do). Amex is so much more than a payment rail... to quote you, don't you know the business model? Their closed loop model and brand loyalty form a massive moat that no other network is even remotely close to penetrating. Find a proper 5 star or better hotel anywhere on the planet that doesn't take Amex... that market isn't going away, if anything it's being fortified. Merchants in North America who ditch Amex pay the price by losing loyal customers which is why it's so widely accepted here.

Competitive-Ant2876

Ehh go look at financials and read the MA&D part. States they don’t have enough liquidity on go forward basis. Your playing with fire

Dr_Meany

Won't matter, don't you know the business model? The merchants pay. Consumer demand is largely irrelevant. And regulators will 100% have their thumb on the scale. America *hates* this because the V and (less so) MA networks are basically a ~2% tax on European business. Without this Uncle Sam doesn't get a taste. AXP is largely a luxury product and operates in a different space, V is the blunt commodity instrument.
