All right. Well, we've got about 30 minutes, 28 minutes to the opening bell and so far I'm sitting here with no trades yet this morning. I Really don't see anything that looks, um, that interesting. which isn't surprising because this is the week between um Christmas and New Year's and it's very common that this is a light volume week as a lot of Traders take the whole week off.

So while we may see some opportunities, sometimes, what can happen like the day after Thanksgiving or on this kind of holiday week is that all of a sudden we do get a burst of momentum and uh, one or two stocks become very obvious and there's a lot of opportunities just on those one or two is everyone who's kind of still here focuses on those one or two stocks. Short of that happening, it'll be a slow week, so this morning do we have one that maybe looks like it could fit that you know fit the bill for being that kind of stock that everyone focuses on and goes crazy. I Don't think so. Atnf is our leading gapper.

It's up 65 percent, but you know. I I'm really not that interested in it. We we saw the Move on this last week. I mean I had this huge pop, big sell-off just I mean this stuff is.

it's just like a bunch of red candles in a row. It's not clean, it doesn't feel safe or easy to trade. so that one right now I suppose if it got through, well, 223 is a pre-market High Um yeah. I mean if it got over this pivot of 215.

But but if it gets over 250 and goes to 223, that's only eight cents a share. It just doesn't feel like it's even. There's a good risk reward on that kind of trade. So the float is fine.

on it's a 1.18 million share flow. Um, no issue with the float. it's just. uh, it just happens to be lower.

price, doesn't have a lot of range. It's a little bit more thickly traded. So yeah, that's that. Um, next one down Htgm.

This one's kind of interesting. So uh, news out on Friday or Thursday closing a secondary offering price like seven dollars a share. So it squeezes up because it was at three dollars a share. so the offering was priced higher.

It's still diluting the value of the stock, but it's at a higher, uh, higher valuation. I Suppose based on the 1.3 million shares that they sold, there's a 10 million dollar offering. So anyways, it goes up. pulls back.

Sometimes that secondary offering coming in at a higher price can be a bullish catalyst, but it's doesn't always work out that way. and it didn't happen to be the case here. So it's it. did go up.

but now it's come back down. All right. So that's Htgm up 27 percent, but pulling back Pte up 18, it's a cheaper stock. No interest in that right now.

Ape So Abe AMC Not trading this. Um, there'll be some people that are interested in it, but I'm not going to try to day trade this I think it'll be too difficult. Ipha floats 80 million shares CEI 14 million share flow coming back down. so I'm just kind of sitting tight here.

Got some snow outside listening to Paul Simon on my headphones and not expecting to do a whole lot of trading. Uh, unless something pops up that looks good I Have a couple ideas for swing trades, but keeping those on the side right now. Not going to do anything right this moment. Someone mentioned Atat earlier.

Uh, you know? yeah, it's not a bad daily chart. it's a blue sky chart lacking volume. Float says attire a little bit higher. it's a recent IPO Um, that's actually not too bad.

not that many shares Chinese stock a reminder for those tuning in on YouTube This will be um, the last week of the Morning show before we go on winter break, which we did last year as well. Won't be any change for uh Warrior members foreign any PT yeah lower price moving up a little bit I I n n up ten percent. so a little further down the Gap scan p-e-g-y I don't know I hadn't looked at it in a little bit. Let's see, it's like it's just sort of selling off.

Nothing too exciting. overall. Market is uh, was gapping up has come back down a little bit back to a flat open versus the close on Thursday About 20 minutes to the opening bell. Right now, scanners are pretty quiet.

We had CEI hit the scans earlier as it went from 293 up to 307. Atnf was a little bit earlier as well. Htgm at 6 at 4am when I hit six dollars down quite a bit. Since then, hit that high of six and then now is it under four? Well, so why I Think Ape is hard to trade? Ape is not going to be really a stock.

Oops, that's going to have most likely enough range to make it profitable for day trading with normal size. Same with Atnf Really? I Mean, if you took huge size, 10 cents could be profitable, but these are just have too small of a range. They're very thickly traded so I just don't expect them to be clean. and then on Ape you have a secondary issue, which is that people who have been swing trading it with bigger positions can mark it out.

You've got more of the Swing trading crowd on this because it's a meme stock so that could create these flushes and I usually just sort of avoid. Uh, right at this point meme stocks. There was a time where I was happy to trade them, but now isn't really the time. So um yeah.

I I Kind of leave. leave it alone. 18 to 80. It is a blue sky setup.

it's a recent IPO so It's probably the best looking chart I've seen in a while. but I don't expect it's gonna work. Uh, it doesn't have a catalyst today that I see. So without news, it's not going to have volume.

without volume. it's not going to break out so that's my guess. I Mean you know, you never know, but that's my guess. We don't.

We're not in the market that has just sort of this. General Rising tide of strong momentum that's going to allow for technical breakouts to really perform well. I Think so focusing on stocks that have a real catalyst is probably going to be, um, a better idea. and if we don't have that, then No trades is better than red trades.

So we're coming into a period where you know, especially on a week like this with lighter volume in between holidays where, uh, we may see, we will likely see a few opportunities this week. I Expect we'll see some opportunities, but I wouldn't expect there to be the quantity of opportunities that we would see on a normal week. So I think it's going to be the type of week where it's better to sit tight, be patient, and sort of, you know, reserve your risk for when there's something that actually looks like it gives you some reward potential and that might mean that today's a no trade day and then tomorrow I might have like two trades and then maybe Thursday will be a no trade day and then another couple trades on Friday or something like that and that would be fine if I only take three trades this week. but I have the discipline to wait for good quality setups and I can make those three trades count I Could still have a fine week, but it is important to show up because you never know and of course you know it's also important to take time and rest up, take vacation and recharge your batteries a little bit because these this Market can you know you can get sort of burnt out a little bit on it? You can start getting a little impatient, a little stubborn.

Finally, you break the ice and then it's an immediate loser. So you can. You can find yourself getting a little frustrated in this type of market. So it's not a bad idea to take the opportunity when it is slow.

It's better to take a break when it's slow than when it's hot in terms of your opportunity cost. So it probably wouldn't be a bad week to just take three days off or take a long weekend. Uh, but you know, do what you feel like. It's also a great time to study and be prepared for When things do pick back up about 12 minutes the opening bell at 9 30 on YouTube will Premiere a um uh I'll Premiere a new episode on YouTube So you guys will see that those who are streaming.

So we're going to be adding uh, some of the episodes from the last trading Summit uh over the next? Well, you know, probably over the next month. Uh, we'll be uploading them. you know, a couple weeks so one of them's gonna get uploaded today and then uh yeah, we'll just kind of keep uploading them periodically. Elys penny stock.

So we'll take the month of January off from the morning show same as I did last year and that'll be so I can focus on our new members new members of the community who are joining using the Trade 2023 coupon code. So start the new year with a series a session on Trader Rehab. Try to get everyone off to a good start thinking about risk first, profit second.

So you guys are welcome to check out our Um memberships here. The coupon code Trade 2023 will save you 40 on your one-time membership fee so you can look at the Um the membership tiers. Here We have the Warrior Starter which is you know that's the introductory Um level membership, the Warrior Plus, and then Warrior Pro. So these membership tiers give you access to classes and then once you join the starter, you can add your chat room subscription or chat room and scans.

Chat room scans and charts will be coming soon. So your one-time membership fee is sort of like your library card. It gives you access to these classes that you can log in and review anytime you want. and then we only offer trading tools to our members.

So you have to have a membership of at least a starter to subscribe or enroll for any of our trading tools. So we want to make sure that people that are in the chat room and using the scanners understand how to use them, so that's where the curriculum will teach you how to use those tools. We also have a six-week Trader boot camp that's going to start in the new Year that's going to be led by Mike so that'll be a Back to Basics Trader boot camp that's going to run six weeks the new year, so that's going to be especially helpful for Traders that have gone through the curriculum but want to kind of really press the reset button in the new year And it's also great for new members who want to take part in a six-week curriculum that's going to be walking you through the Warrior Pro courses. So each week you'll have assigned chapters and then you'll have touch points where you'll be able to meet with Mike as he goes through with you what your, what, you've been learning, what your goals are, and everything else.

So that'll be six weeks starting in the new Year as well. All right. So we've got about four minutes to the opening bell. Uh, the 97 a month? The 197 a month.

Those are just your monthly, um, essentially your monthly dues to maintain access to those trading tools. It's a monthly subscription. Your membership card for starter Plus or Pro is a one-time membership fee. and then you can add, upgrade or downgrade your tools at any time based on whatever you want to do.

And so that's also true for former Warrior Pro members. if you're a former Warrior starter Warrior Pro member that joined Um at some point within the last two years, but then let your membership lapse. you can always add back the tools and we'll consider that you've paid your one-time membership fee. All right.
