Q Gives The Signal; COVID-19 Has Been A Stunning Success

I came into the week short the Qs, via $SQQQ, which has been a little painful this week. Yesterday, the NASDAQ made a fresh high, completely wiping out the Pandemic of Covid-19. Today, the Qs, made a fresh new high, before retreating back down. Can we sit here for a second and appreciate this move off the lows? (See chart below):

Anyone who has tried to short this market has had a difficult time as of late. I am guilty of a few cuts myself. The question now becomes, are buyers exhausted? or do we start to enter a euphoria phase, sending us much higher, dragging more dead short sellers along the way?

I can’t call it, but I do have a master screen in Exodus which shows me what people are buying. Apparently, the penny stocks continue to give the best action. Today was all about XSPA, and what a day it was. BIOC jumped on the screen midday, and the small oils populated the list throughout the day: CPE & RIG. The Airlines even jumped back on today’s screen.

So we got penny stocks and airlines. That doesn’t leave me feeling too bullish overall, but the dash for trash continues. Let’s see what these two can do for us tomorrow:

Monster Energy, Domino’s Pizza, Tractor Supply, & Silver Lead As The World Burns

The world is literally burning down around us, yet stocks continue to climb higher. Anybody still remember Covid-19? Yeah, me either. Anybody betting that the market goes green after digesting the riots? I say no way in hell, but stranger things have happened.

I myself have been busy reopening my business and scalping momentum stocks on the side. I’m hesitant to commit capital to new swing longs and find myself more comfortable scalping momentum as I see fit. I do like to stay on top of the Exodus rankings to see where the money is flowing, and this week it was Monster Energy soda, Domino’s Pizza, and Silver:

Let see if we can catch a few runners this week. See you guys at the open…

Here Are Your Top Stocks Into Memorial Day 2020

Here’s your Memorial Day weekend look at the top 100 ranked stocks inside our trading software, Exodus. The following screen searches for stocks that have a high combined technical & financial score, aka The Hybrid Score. I did not add in any big volume filters this week so this is a pure list of the top 100 stocks in the market over the past week.

The following results are sorted by market cap, NOT the actual ranking. To view the actual ranking, the official screen for members can be found & saved HERE. Non-members have no fear, the top 100 names can be found HERE FOR CHARTS

$MARK takes the number one spot this week, which shows just the kind of market we are in– RUNAWAY PENNY STOCKS. In terms of market cap, here are your leaders: $FB, $HD, $ADBE, $ABT, $LOW, $CMG, $TTD, & $LULU

In terms of the next penny stock to explode? I took my first trade from the StockLabs platform (COMING SOON) which was $DFFN, which also happens to be on this week’s top 100 list. These small stocks are risky and should be traded like you are holding dynamite, but can be very rewarding. If you choose to play these small names, make sure you position size accordingly. Meaning, take your account value and multiply it by 0.01 (1%). This should be you max stop out point should you reach this threshold. If you hit this threshold, you have to move on to the next play. Smaller size gives you more room to work, bigger size equal higher chance to be stopped out, but bigger reward if you are right. People are always looking for the holly grail in trading, over my 20+ years, position sizing has been the true key. Keep that in check.

Now that we got that out of the way, let’s talk about $DFFN. The company just completed an offering which is now closed, so we are safe from that surprise. The company is now expecting FDA feedback on their clinical trails later this month for a drug that may help Covid-19 patients. DFFN believes that their oxygen-enhancing mechanism in their drug can help COIVD patients by mitigating the multiple organ failure that results from hypoxemia associated with acute respiratory distressed syndrome, a leading cause of death in COVID-19 patients.

All that said, I took the trade because of the volume pattern Stocklabs alerted on Friday. We’ll see how this top 100 name works out next week. Developing…..

Here are the top ranked names this weekend:

Is There Anything Left To Buy?

Earnings season is coming to an end and the theme is common, “zero forward guidance”. No one knows where we will be in three months, yet everyone has an opinion on where this rigged market will trade.

I’ve become disconnected with stocks, real stocks anyway like $AAPL. Why? Does Apple interest you above $300/share, at a 1 trillion valuation? The answer for me is no. Yet, they refuse to sell off the rotten fruit.

I’m finding value in the small caps, the micro caps even. We have some screens we are using inside Exodus to find runners such as $NNDM, which is up a cool 500% when you factor in the after-hours action.

The dash for trash is on, and quarantine is just about over. PPP funds will expire in 4 weeks, and so will more jobs. Everything is setting up for a great dump into the election, or is it? Your guess is as good as mine. For me, at least I have a master list to follow daily:

MASTER LIST

PELICAN ROOM DAILY RUNNERS

Exodus members make sure to bookmark the links above as they are paramount in the market environment. The long term picture is just about gone in my opinion. Keep your money in rotation, implementing time stops on positions if no movement. Stop thinking months and years down the road. Start thinking what will move tomorrow. Only then will you succeed in this environment.

Here’s a look at the master list at the close: CLICK HERE FOR CHARTS

BANKS RALLY; FEELING BULLISH… iDK

Louisiana ends the stay at home orders as of tomorrow, and many small business, including my own, can reopen to the public. I was one of the lucky ones to receive PPP money to aid with payroll. I received it, because my accountant is fast and my relationship with my local bank is phenomenal. There are many lessons in that last statement.

Speaking of banks, we finally witnessed a rally in the financials. $WFC, the problem child, got off to a good start and never looked back. My master screen inside Exodus pinned the banks down early:

It’s pretty hard to be bearish when $WFC is ripping higher, let’s see if the momentum continues to end the week. For a full look at Thursday’s screen: CLICK HERE FOR CHARTS.
