Test test, one two: three test test: one: two: three: what's going on team, it's ricky with tech, but solutions here we are going to be uh, checking out to see how microsoft and google report earnings. So today it is tuesday. April 26th looks like the reports are out. Market is reacting.

I might actually have to open up a couple more screens over here. Ctq, let's go ahead and get this one set up. I want to see how this one's reacting and i also want to see why not do it. Tesla tesla also indicating signs of a descending pattern.

Let's see, tesla's not as important, so i'm gon na see. If i can bring this down here there. It goes big drop on google, google, with a 1.5 trillion dollar market cap. I was gon na, say, uh and then microsoft with a 2.3 trillion dollar market cap.

Uh, google definitely dropping down three percent after market hours matching its three percent that it lost during normal trading hours. Let's see it what's up what's up good morning or good afternoon, really um pretty busy day today, um sorry, i haven't been as active as i normally am uh it's a lot of different things going on, but um, let's see which way we end up going here. We go alrighty, quick, second, okay, there. It goes microsoft, beginning to indicate signs of an uptrend, it's up one percent after market hours, and we got google dropping 3.7 in the aftermarket trading session.

So, what's up what's up - and here it goes still dropping i'm gon na go back to that. Just uh dual split screen right here just so we can focus a little bit more on um, the important ones so yeah microsoft, again beginning to indicate signs somewhat of an uptrend, and then we got google absolutely tanking, four percent in the aftermarket hour, all right there. It goes still pulling back all righty, so expectation for google was 25.54 earnings per share and they ended up reporting a 24.62, so pretty much uh missed by a dollar per share. Definitely not good microsoft.

Already beginning to pull on back, i actually thought that we were gon na see a nice uptick and the really unfortunate part about this is that. Do you guys know what company reports earnings tomorrow and it did not do well last time it reported earnings? Do you guys know what company not good, let's see how everything is performing after market hours, so can't believe, ask qk yeah, that's qqq is having a killer day check this out skkq, beginning to indicate you know, sign more signs of an uptrend up 2.5 aftermarket hours Up 11 11 on the day uh. If i'm not mistaken, it's reaching previous highs yeah, definitely getting really close back back up to 52.87. Let's go back to microsoft.

Yep you guys! You guys heard it here. First facebook reports earnings tomorrow. You guys need to be aware of that. It is not looking good um if google and microsoft couldn't pull through.

It's really google, that's absolutely tanking down 4.6 right now in the aftermarket trading session yep, so facebook reports earnings tomorrow, uh just a friendly reminder. Last time facebook reported earnings it dropped by 22. In just a couple of minutes, it lost 220 billion dollars. It's the most any stock, that's publicly traded ever lost in a single day, absolutely insane, all right so yeah i mean this is just definitely not a good sign for the overall nasdaq market.

It look. It makes sense on why the market was uh reacting. The way that it did, it was pretty much just factoring in everything. It was uh that i guess it had expected uh from microsoft, not only microsoft.

Now microsoft is down 3.5 percent and google is making new lows at 5.5 right now on the day rip. To my t, q q swing trade and i'm actually really happy that you brought that up hold up six percent on the day, not on the day after market hours. So now google is down nearly 10 altogether on the day, check that out microsoft down 3.7 during normal trading hours and down another 3 percent all right there. We go not looking good, but i'm actually really glad that someone brought that up of like rip to my t.

Qqq swing trade um, you know, there's a there's, a lot of people that are invested. You guys just have to think i mean a lot of you. Guys are just getting started and i think it's all about perspective. At the end of the day, i'm not here to convince you.

If you want to sell your positions, sell it you're, an adult um. You know do what it is that you think is best for your future self. I just want to share my opinion, and i mean that's why you're here right. One thing that i uh want to share with you is that if you can tolerate these pullbacks and you don't expect to sell tkq or any of your positions any of your long-term investments, any of your long-term plays anytime soon, then, in my opinion, i mean it.

It shouldn't really matter how the market is performing on the day today. We all know that during earnings season, there's a lot of volatility right, but that's why we always talk about watching our position size. Taking that into consideration. You know, i think today is a great example of when things already looked bad.

They continue and continue to get worse. This should only encourage you to be more selective with your position size and what stocks you choose to invest in. It's not that it's the you know end of the world. It's not that this is like the worst case scenario, because it's it's not right.

I mean you have to think about it like there's the highs, and the lows of of every company is right now right, um right now we're experiencing kind of the low point for google and microsoft and for tech as a whole. That should one of two things right: it it either scares you to not want to do anything, meaning that, oh, i don't want to invest in anything or anything like that or if you look at it from a different perspective, there's so much opportunity right now present In the market that this could really pay off one or two years from now, no one ever said the stock market was going to be easy right and it's definitely not, and i know it's it's difficult to kind of see the light at the end of the Tunnel and that's why i started um this little message with. If you want to sell your shares, because you think that's best for yourself, then do it right, i'm never here to convince you. I just want you to understand that yeah markets are cheap.

They are oversold. They are bearish right now, but it reminds me a lot like you know, february march of 2020, when covid first hit, there was so much uncertainty and then guess what four to five months later. Not only did those markets recover, but they ended up making new highs and everything is situational. It doesn't mean that they always have to fully recover and or make new highs.

But one thing that the market has always shown us is that the market does always end up recovering and the market does end up not only recovering, but it ends up making new highs and i think that's very empowering for our long-term investors and our swing traders. It should encourage you, you know that this uncertainty and this volatility should encourage you to be selective. It really should it's to show you that the market is not always bullish right and it's good, because it instills character in understanding. You know you should have a set list of criteria behind every trade behind every investment and that things don't always go according to plan.

I think it's good the the lesson that you are learning right now from the market, but it's also very you know, i would say empowering to you know kind of look back one or two years from now and then see that wow. You know we stuck through it. We put ourselves in a good position where we bought google, we bought facebook, we bought microsoft, whatever company it is that you see value in that's cheap right now, and we saw that long-term potential. Look at that microsoft just made a full recovery from overall lows to previous highs.

Five percent, since we've been talking about that, look at that five percent bill gates is like watch this elon watch. This it looks like google is also beginning to indicate signs of recovery. What are we seeing here? That's actually pretty good, i'm i don't know about you guys, but i'm i'm really happy that um first off you guys are all here. You guys could be doing a lot more uh.

A lot yes can be doing so many different things right, some so many different things that maybe is more entertaining things to just kind of. I i think it says a lot about you and your character of you showing up and being interested in the market. Um. Obviously, things don't always go according to plan, and i think this market is a a great way to kind of like humble you and keep you very level-headed um.

But again i i'm pumped i'm excited - and i haven't been excited like this in a while, especially when the markets are selling off and and trust me, i'm right there with you. I mean i'm invested in some of these companies as well and yeah. It kind of sucks it stings a little to see these market uh cd stocks pull back, but i understand that in the long run right i'm not in no rush to sell any of this, i'm not invested in in low quality companies. I'm invested in companies that i really do see making a recovery and not only a recovery, but new highs right there.

There are emerging markets, they're markets that are going to continue to grow, and that's why i feel like i'm, a little bit more able to tolerate these pullbacks, because i understand the big picture. I don't need that money to make me money right now today, right. What sells off today can recover tomorrow and vice versa.
