All right, so it's coming up towards 9 15. it is a fairly slow pre-market session here. We don't have a lot that looks good in terms of volume. This morning, we've got the most volume on AMC All right.

Well, I'm not an AMC Trader This isn't a stock that I've ever really found interest in it and even when it was making its Big Move Um, even then I wasn't that interested in it. It to me was never as easy to trade as some of the others during that period. So anyways, um, it just wasn't one that got me that interested then and it still isn't that interesting now. So AMC not on my.

it's a no trade stock as far as I'm concerned. Tupperware Second Leading Gapper: It's a dollar 24 cents. No interest in this Pxmd. A dollar four cents.

No interest in that costs. Fourth Leading gapper. In terms of volume, we're sorted by volume right now and this one just popped up and pulled back. There's nothing there either, so you know I look at this and I feel like this is a sort of typical Monday During the summer you know Summers can be a little Hit or Miss we've had this month.

Some there's been some really big moves, but a lot of them have been these kind of surprise moves where a stock squeezes up, um, you know, and then all of a sudden reverse it. You know it doesn't hold up. So these pops and reversals, especially when they're on light volume. We've seen some light volume stocks that have halted multiple times going up.

Uh, what was we had? Psqh this was one that I traded a few times last week. You know I mean it gave us some opportunities but it wasn't something I could size up on. you know I was never able to take big size I wasn't able to hit, you know, twenty thirty thousand dollar winners on it. The liquidity wasn't great, so you know with small size you get a couple dollars a share.

But and then you have this type of move here which is in the afternoon. so traders who are tuned in uh into the afternoon got that? But a lot of Traders especially during a slow Market you know it's it's kind of funny during a slow Market some people will spend more time in the chair because they're like oh I want to hit my goal and I kind of feel like my the return on my time in a slow Market or colder Market is so low it's not worth it to spend eight hours in the chair. What I'll do is I'll spend eight hours sitting here in a hot Market when I can really rack up the gains but then other people in the hot Market will be like oh man I hit my daily goal in four minutes and I'm done for the rest of the day so it kind of different people have different perspectives on that. Some are just like I'll once I hit my goal I'll walk away and if it takes me five hours to do it in a cold market and I'm here for five hours if I do it in five minutes in a hot market then it took me five minutes and I'm more like I want to get kind of the most, return on my time and make as much as I can and that means sort of.

You know, managing when's the time to really be aggressive? So right now isn't the time to be really aggressive. There have been some opportunities like Psqh that have you know, giving you a little moment where you could step up a little bit. but but even then relatively it's not what I would be able to do during uh a hot Market because I can't size up at the same the same level. not with these spreads and volatility.

Is Not Great Uh, Tlga. This one popped up, pulled back so there was nothing there. Um, you know, left that one alone. no interest in it anyways.

so those are the last ones that hit my momentum scanners, costs. and Tlga, you know today. Yeah, if we get a one, we could get a one and done today. You know one trade one solid trade.

Get get in, Get green, get out, don't over stair welcome. I Suppose the question is which one's going to be that one today on Friday Qnrx, this one put in a really nice move and it was on the Gap scan. So this is something that um I think I mentioned when we were going over our watch list on Friday or right into the Bell we were talking about it. So I had a pre-market high of like 764.

nothing super exciting except look at this s on the chart. reverse split and look at how far away the 200 moving averages way up at 50 bucks. So this was one where I wondered if we would get a reverse split squeeze and we certainly did. It went from 764 all the way up to 11 a share, which is pretty solid.

It pulled back and then again kind of around 11 30 noon time. Another move, they're up to 12. but now it's back at 8 45 so it's not set up well for continuation today. It's just worth uh, noting that this was a strong one on Friday So you know that's the type of thing that I would look for today is something that just starts to kind of take off and then jump on that momentum.

But I do need to see some some momentum. something that's worthy of jumping on. And right now I don't see anything super worthy of uh, stepping up to the plate on so some days are like this, you know it's and this is part of trading. You've got hot days and cold days.

Some seasons are hotter than others some people say. oh Summer's always slow. Last summer August was my best month of the whole year. Best month of the whole year was August of last year I made a little under 200 000 in August so you never know when a month like that is right around the corner could be August of this year could be September it could be October could be any month.

you just never know. So we keep showing up and um, just trade the market. Let's see. so I i n n a little on the cheaper side.

There's some news on it. um 1.45 up to a high of a dollar 73. Volume Super light you know and this is the thing. You could take a trade on it, but volumes light so you wouldn't be able to take big big size.

You probably get slippage if you tried Nkla. that one's got a bit of a higher float. yeah, 500 million shares rivian higher float on that as well. You know these are stocks that are interesting in different areas for different reasons, but they're not the type of stock that I would try to day trade so you know just my two cents on it.

Some resistance there at 172 on Iin from back on June 20th but leading gapper today is only 32 percent so we don't have, uh, any big percentage gappers today. Overall: Market this morning gapping up just a little bit sold off a little bit after hours on Friday gapping up just a little bit this morning. So the S P had a couple days of pullback, you know? But again, keeping this in perspective, the market is has been extremely strong here. We had a really nice run there.

March Uh, April May June July So we're we're not far off all-time highs on the S P 500. we haven't seemed to have seen this. Um, give us a lot of follow-through with small caps. I Mean these last four or five months haven't been super exciting for small caps.

So you can see this is the, um, the small cap index. It's still for sure, uh, lagging behind the costs I Looked at it. Uh, this is one that made a big move in 2021 along with GameStop so traded it during that period. we had some, you know, another couple moves in 2021.

popped up a little bit in 2022. Uh, this year hasn't really been that interesting. it's just been kind of selling off. The 200 moving average isn't that far away at five.

I Don't really think I see anything there? Um, that looks super interesting to me. Uh, the Iwm is Russell 2000 so it's a it's a small cap. um ETF I Don't really look at it that much, but you know, just puts it in perspective a little bit because there is a Divergence there between the S P 500. Which is great because you know the overall Market is a good reflection of sort of bigger picture, but small cap stocks have been lagging behind them.

So and I'm curious about the condition of the overall Market I'm looking at the S P 500. All right so we've got about four and a half minutes. the opening bell right now? Foreign, so it's a slow Monday game plan at the open watching scanners. seeing what we get for volatility if something starts to squeeze up If we get a surprise move.

I'll be looking for a couple trades, so not too much of a watch list today. Scanners just don't have any big gappers, but we'll see if we get more as the week goes on. Alright, so that's my watch list for this morning with about uh, three and a half minutes. Now to the opening bell.
