What's up everyone? All right? So we're going to do midday market recap: Finish the day up 18 391.92 cents, most of which was on Expr, but a little on Vvpr and nothing on Gme. I'm going to give myself a pat on the back for fighting Fomo and not jumping into it while it made an awesome move today. What I was concerned about and which has not ended up happening, was the risk of it getting halted by the New York Stock Exchange. That's something that we've seen happen on other Nasdaq stocks that have been up substantially with no real true fundamental catalyst.

And so is this squeezed from 100 to 150 160 In a matter of, you know, 20 minutes I sat on my hands and said, you know what, while it presents an awesome opportunity, the downside risk of taking a couple thousand shares of this which would be two thousand shares would be two hundred thousand dollars that this gets halted by Nasdaq and opens fifty percent lower. I can't. I can't take that risk right now. I had, you know, 150 000 losses the first two weeks of January last week.

I think I finished up around 70 000 or something like that, which was good progress. I need 5 or 10 more days just like today, and I cannot afford to be a cowboy right now and swing for some hail Mary pass and then get crushed if I took that trade with 5 000 shares. While in hindsight, I could have done really, really well, I could have potentially been putting a couple hundred thousand dollars up at in risk. And because I'm not, I'm not a buy and hold for the people that are buying this and holding and don't care about the drop here to 82 and are still like I'm holding this to 200.

That's fine, but I can't do that with 5 000 shares. There's no way I can put hundreds of thousands of dollars or a million dollars into a stock like this and just leave it out there too much risk. So for me, this stock, unfortunately was outside my risk profile for today. Had I had a cushion on the week or on the month, maybe maybe maybe I could have traded it, But unfortunately I couldn't And so I I'm going to be the person that sits on the sidelines with nothing to show for this incredible move, but also grateful not to be one of the traders that bought it way too high and got caught in a halt.

going down once twice, three times. Before you know, I mean yes, it bounced off the low, but it went from 100 to 159 and then back to 88. So it lost. It gained 50 percent and then it lost almost 50 percent.

I mean, it's down to 60. It's actually down over 50 percent off the highs. The high was 160. so if it closes at 80, it closes down 50 off the high a day.

While it's still, I suppose holding yesterday's close, it's above that level. This is not a pretty uh chart on the daily, so unfortunately, this did, I'm sure, garner a lot of attention from, uh, some traders, but I think a lot of active day traders in kind of my world probably weren't that interested in it because the price is too high and the spreads are huge and it was just so risky. It doesn't matter whether you're trading 100 shares, a thousand, or ten thousand, it's just had a lot of risk. So for the people that made money on it, congratulations, that's awesome.

I love to see people making money, but I just couldn't I couldn't do it today, it was just up too much so I missed the boat on that one. But I did catch some momentum on Expr pre-market We had a nice break of 350 all the way up to 450. I bought the first one minute pullback after that breakout. By the time the bell was ringing though, it was fading.

Also, this morning, we had some really weird issues with market data. We were not getting clean market data. We were getting these searches of weird weird orders that were out of sequence that were way below the current price or way above the current price. And so when that started happening, I stopped trading.

And so I only actually took two trades once. The bell rang today for a sixty dollar loss on Amtx and or a thousand and 92 loss on Oeg. Vvpr was a pre-market trade. This one had some news that came out.

I kind of rode the momentum on the one minute chart, but you know I didn't crush it. I did okay on it, but nothing crazy crazy. Nice break at 21 there. Uh, Amtx.

When the bell rang, I got a trade on that was looking for a little bit more. It did give us more later, but I was trading it at about 7.50 so it went without me. but not before chopping out probably a lot of traders and then Oeg. This one I took a quick thousand dollar loss on.

uh, jumped in and instant rejection up here and I was like nope, that's it. I'm I'm done. Zv. Zzzt is the Nasdaq test stock and Bank of America was a test trade as well.

just showing students hotkeys uh, students who are in the Warrior Pro classes because we're running the winter school program right now. So uh, I'm looking forward to classes resuming again tomorrow. Of course, live trading in the morning winter school for the rest of the the morning and into the early afternoon. and it's kind of a nice routine right now because it kind of keeps me from getting Fomo and then doing something stupid.

Because you know, I mean, I don't want to rub it in for people that are red on Gme because I'm sure you'd think it's impossible. How could someone be read on Gme and I'd guarantee you it's possible. Not only is it possible, it's something that I could have easily done because as a day trader, you know we buy high. We sell higher, but with some of these they're just crazy.

You, you get in too high and then all of a sudden you're so far underwater there's it's just you holding hope and the next thing you know, you're down. Thirty dollars a share and it's it's bad. So yeah, no, I've I've been there for those that are there. right now.

I've been there and I told myself today I would rather sit here and feel Fomo then take a trade and lose money on it. I'd rather feel Fomo than feel lost. So I said all right, then put your money where your mouth is on that and just feel Fomo and don't take a trade. And so I didn't take any traits on it.

So that's good self-control I'm happy with that. You know, at 18, 391 dollars is nothing to, um, you know, sneeze at it's uh, it's a good day and you know I'm sure there's people out there that traded Gme all day long and didn't make 18 000. So I should be grateful for the 18 grand. And yeah, could I what I should, blah blah blah.

But I'm green and that makes it my fifth green day in a row. And I guess that means I'm now probably up like 90 000 in the last five days. Uh, which is fantastic. So you know if I was doing 18 000 a day consistently and was able to keep myself away from Fomo and trying to swing for those home runs? I mean, let's say 18 000 a day? There's 250 trading days in a year? 10 000 a day is 2.5 million.

18 000 a day is a four or five million dollar a year. This is great money. It's so easy to look at the glasses half empty, to get greedy and say, oh, there was this huge move and I didn't make anything on it. Well, okay, but you focused on another area of the market, you've got some profit.

you've got Green, you did a good job. Good for you. Do it again tomorrow. Do it again the next day.
