So let's talk about the Microsoft disaster today. So Microsoft Stock reported earnings today after the market closed. This is something that we've been talking about literally the the entire week even since. Sunday In our Sunday stock talk, we talked about three main focuses.

The first thing is it's reporting of its earnings and overall uh. EPs and revenue right? There's an expectation for that. If they come in lower or higher, the market reacts initially I Want to actually show you initially Microsoft gapped up six percent in the green. That's very significant I Mean Microsoft has a market cap of 1.8 trillion? That's with a T, not an M, not a B A T.

It's one of the larger companies that's publicly traded. This is why it was so significant. It's pretty much setting the tone most likely for the rest of Big Tech I'm not talking about small tech companies I'm talking about big Tech the ones in the hundreds of billions and or trill billions of dollars. But what happened? Why did it sell off? Well, if you remember the video that I literally uploaded yesterday I Talked about what to look out for part of it, it's the reporting of the earnings, revenue, and earnings per share.

The sometimes more important part, as we can tell today, this is exactly what I said in yesterday's video. It's the guidance. it's the earnings call and this happens normally anywhere from one hour and a half to sometimes two and a half hours after the actual reporting. And that's exactly what we saw today Microsoft Went from gapping up six percent, not just down one percent, but it gave back everything that it made.

I Mean this move alone should be roughly around seven percent. It looks like it overall, right around six percent. Again, that's huge downside. From gapping up six percent to dropping down all the way down to negative one percent on the day, That's very, very significant and you might be asking, well, what is it that Microsoft said that was so significant? Let me keep it short and sweet for you guys.

They set expectations for overall revenue for Q3 of 2023 and the overall Market had an expectation of a little bit over 52 billion dollars for Q3 of 2023 and Microsoft came in with a forecast of around 50 3.5 to 51.5 billion dollars. So all that means is that their forecast was lower than what was already factored in. And that's why the market reacted the way that it did, because initially because of what they reported with revenue and earnings per share. Again, it reacted in a positive way as we can see why this was justified.

But this is a perfect perfect example of how markets can quickly shift on a dime, not just by what they report for earnings, but also with its guidance and its earnings call which is often given right. Its guidance is often given during its earnings call, so this is a reminder for all of you investors or Traders especially for those that are heavily invested. If you're lightly invested again, the whole point of you being lightly invested is for you to be able to tolerate. Worst case scenario, this is a great reminder that, especially as Tesla Tesla Stock reports earnings tomorrow, right? We talked about this: Tesla Tomorrow 125 2023 after the market closes I'm going to be live streaming that at least I intend to today I Got a little bit busy and I do apologize Tesla reporting earnings tomorrow.

The only focus is not going to be you know it's overall revenue and its earnings per share Tesla's down a significant amount. It's probably not going to take much for it to Gap up, but it's its guidance right? I mean it was shut down for the early part or the late part of 2022 or the early part of 2023 with its China plant. Now that things are getting back to normal, remember this is why we don't try to predict the future. This is why we try to prepare for it.

and this is a perfect example of any time that you see that it's that it could possibly be an overreaction. The idea of locking in profits should never be questioned. This is not the year of being perfect, especially if you're just getting started. I Cannot stress this enough, especially if you're just getting started.

If you are in the grade and you know that the stock is overbought, it's never a bad time to lock in profits. You know the making money part comes later when you're trading with a significant dollar amount. If you're just getting started, then focus on what you know you should be doing. And that's learning how to trade, not trading to make money, Learning how to trade.

even if your first entire full trading year, you break even and or minimize the loss that you took. Just think about all the lessons learned, the experience, and the confidence that you're going to have at the end of the year. If all you focused on was just getting a little bit better learning from your mistakes, what could you have done better today? Remember and yeah, I I'm just really, really excited to follow up with the handful of you that actually take this seriously. Now of course, this is just earning season, so it's not the end of the world.

Microsoft Dropped one percent on the day. Yeah, I gave back about six percent. From overall highs to current lows, it doesn't matter, right? Microsoft is Microsoft It's eventually going to recover. So if you're a swing Trader and or a long-term investor, it's probably only a matter of time for it to recover.

This is why we always talk about: Do Not put yourself in a position in which you cannot tolerate. Worst case scenario, make sure that you can tolerate the time that it will take for the markets to recover. This doesn't psych me out, and yeah, the markets might sell off a little bit more before they get better, but that shouldn't discourage you, right? It just means that Again, Position Size. Position Size Position size.

This is not a Make It or Break It Here, this is a year of progress and hopefully you can take that or take today as an example. So 13k on the day on S Kiki Q when we saw that thing taking off you don't know how big my smile was and when I'm began to step on the gas. But again overall beautiful day 13 000 and excited to see what we make of tomorrow. So I really do appreciate you guys time.
