What's up, everyone? All right, here we are. It's Tuesday morning and I'm walking up another green day. This morning we had a couple stocks were moving up on the scanner and like yesterday we had several stocks that made big moves with no news. So, early this morning we had a Chinese stock that squeezed for about $2 a share to $12. No news. Then it comes all the way back down. See, traders jump on the beginning of that move thinking maybe somebody knows something. Who knows how high this might go? And short sellers are nervous uh especially after a couple of huge short squeezes last week. So, the result is you are getting these exaggerated moves and then reality sets in. It starts to roll over and shorts probably say, "Well, I'll take a starter up here. Stop is at the high of the day." And then it sells off more. No one's buying it there cuz now it's pulled back too much and then the the wind sort of just is gone, you know, and it just unwinds. So, we had a couple of stocks that did that this morning. So, that was before I sat down. So, then I sat down and we do end up having a stock that pops up and you know, I was a little unsure about it, but I finally broke the ice. I got a nice trade on it on the curl back through the new high of day and that was my only trade of the day. Enough to put me in the green a little over the cold market daily goal. So, I'm sitting up right now $7,719.95, which is pretty good on Ruby. So, if we pull up Ruby, you will notice that this is another no news stock. And boy, what a pop from $2 all the way up to $6 a share. Well, if we go back to WNW, Chinese stock this morning, this is the one that went from about two $3 a share up to 12. A huge move and then comes all the way back down. So, if you look at that on the 10-second chart to get kind of really dialed in and what was going on in those you know, seconds of squeezing up. It first rallies from 250 up to seven and there was no pullback in there. It just basically at 5:00 in the morning when, you know, $2 a share, $3 a share, whatever it was, $4 a share. Drops down, pops back up, pulls back, pops back up, dips down, and then right there starts to pull away. So, that's a spot that I typically would like to take a trade. The break over 625, adding at 650, looking for a squeeze through the high, and that's the curl. Micro pullback, push higher, micro pullback, push higher. So, that would have been an awesome place to take a trade. Then it dips down, and then another curl up, so another trade right there for the retest of the high, pullback and a push higher. Big flush, that's a little scary. Bounces back up, time to get out if you're still in, and then it unwinds the rest of the way. So, when Ruby first popped up, a little bit similar. So, in the first candle, this thing goes crazy. It just squeezes up, but only a tiny pullback there, and this wasn't really a good pullback, and so it goes all the way to 520 and then starts to drop back down. Didn't take a trade on it right through here, wasn't really sure what was going on. Then it drops back down here, and then it pops back up, then it dips back down, and as it comes back up right here, this is where I started looking at it. I said, all right, this thing is now moving. We got through the pre-market high, and so I took a trade on this flag pattern right there. Getting in right in this area, and I was looking for the squeeze through the high. So, I got in and we get to move all the way up to 620, but look at that topping tail. So, what happened was we had big sellers that pushed it right back down, and then from there it starts to unwind. So, that was my one trade from here to in here and made $7,000 on it, which was pretty good. And then as you could see, it ends up pulling back even more, which was a little bit disappointing. I actually thought this, you know, after the big move on WNW, I was like, this thing is going big time, so I sized up. I was excited. I was like, all right. I basically was thinking that I was trading like right in here, the first pullback after the breakout, and that we might have a dollar or two dollars a share. So, I was disappointed when it all of a sudden had that big seller up at $6. I added at six. I was had a good cost basis down here, starter at 520, adding for the break through the high right there, adding uh up here, and then it comes up to six, it hesitates, and then I add heavy right here at six looking for that rip to 650 and up to seven. And it hit 617, and then jackknifes back down. And I ended up selling on the way back down. So, it was kind of a shame. It was a bit disappointing. But, you know, at the end of the day, I keep stepping up to the plate. I'm focusing on trading bigger size, but on really good setups, and some of these connect. And on some of these, I'm ending up with 40, 50,000 dollar green days. And that's going to keep happening. So, I may not hit that big green day every single day of the week. You know, it would be nice, and in a hot market, I probably would. But, right now, I'm getting them, you know, a few times a month. And then the rest of the time, days like today, well, it ends up being a small winner, and you could say, "Oh, you should just sold everything at six." But, if I always sold everything at six, I wouldn't be able to capitalize when they do pull away, and those end up being some of my biggest winners. So, for right now, you know, I'm okay with the way I traded this. I'm grateful to be green, locking up another green day here. Was up 18,000 yesterday, 7,000 today, so that now puts me about 25,000 on the week. That's nice progress, getting up towards 100,000 on the month of May. And we still have a week and a half left. So, I'll be back at it first thing, of course, tomorrow morning, 7:00 a.m. And uh you know, the game plan for right now is just continuing to watch these scanners, and whatever is moving quickly. Whatever is the leading gainer, that's what I'm focused on. So, AMST, this is another one, pops up after hours, squeezes at 4:00 a.m., drops down hard, bounces back up, and now it's on the back side of the move. No trades. INM, 34 million shares of volume, pops up here as you could see right there, 825. Lower priced stock, sells off. Maybe you get a curl, but I don't love it. Already talked about Ruby, WNW, MTVA. This one's super cheap, not interested. Popped up, tried to curl, couldn't do it, sold off. Codex, this one we've traded before. Uh every time it pops up, it seems to fail. And someone said, "Ross, why don't you just short this? You called it perfectly. You said you knew it was going to fail." Well, that's true. I did know it was going to I was quite confident that it would fail. Um but and and other one that um I I said that about with was EZGO. So, EZGO, I pulled this one up. Uh it's on short sale restriction. So, you can only short it on an uptick, which is always a pain. Uh you can't short by hitting the bid. I like to buy buying the ask, and if I was going to short it, I like to short hitting the bid, so I can get in the moment I want to. I don't like having to get in while it's going up. That would be like I can only buy a stock when it's going down. It's counterintuitive. I don't like doing that. So, short sale restriction really screws things up for me. But in any case, it pops up to 350, and I mean, in hindsight, you know, this has been a pretty good fade. Uh but in any case, my first thing was it's on short sale restriction, and then look at the mar- look at the margin requirement to short it, 300%. That means if you want to short $10,000 worth, you need 300 Sorry, uh $30,000 in your account, 3x whatever the position is. So, if you did $100,000, you would need 300,000 to short it. So, the margin requirements are higher when you trade on the short side. You have to deal with short sale restriction, and of course, you have to pay to locate shares. Now, one of the challenges is that um often by the time you really want to take the trade, the shares have already been taken by other traders. So, you have to borrow shares early to reserve them even if you don't end up end up using them. So, you kind of go in the red before you even take the trade. Uh and then lastly, you cannot trade to the short side in a retirement account. I trade in a retirement account, which means all of this income is tax-free. It is a Roth IRA that I set up years ago. So, all of this income is completely tax-free. If I made the same profit in a um a regular margin account trading to the short side, I would have, based on making over a million dollars a year, uh I would have 39% federal income tax, and I would also have 10% state income tax in the state of Massachusetts. So, I get to keep roughly half, you know, a little a little more than half of everything I make when I trade to the short side, or I keep everything I make when I trade to the long side. Hm. So, that's that's those are a couple of the considerations that I make when I'm considering whether or not I'm going to execute on uh the idea that this will fail. Now again, look, 50% of, you know, uh of nothing is nothing. So, 50% of profit is still profit. I could have traded this, and I could have made money. And if I lost, then that technically would, you know, be a taxable deduction. It would offset other income. So, uh you know, look, I I I don't know. There might be a time where I would consider using my margin account again and trading to the short side, but generally speaking, as the market stands right now, competition to borrow shares increases the price of shares. Um the short sale restriction rule has always been a challenge, and then taxes, you know, are a consideration. So, anyways, that's that's it for me. Uh I'm going to wrap it up here, and I wish you guys a great rest of the day. I hope you trade well, manage your risk. As always, reminder that trading is risky. My results aren't typical, so you should always practice a simulator before putting real money on the line. I'll see you guys streaming tomorrow morning bright and early at 7:00 a.m.
