Ah there, it is all right, welcome back everyone, um happy monday morning may or may not be a money monday. You know these are the mornings and i'm always going to say the same thing. Listen um, not a fear-monger, not oh! The world is ending blah blah blah, but remember there are you know in in this. A lot of you probably know.

What's coming, take your coffee shot. Okay, there's there's times to be aggressive: okay, there's times to really come up to that plate and really try and you know and crush it and there's times you come up to the plate and you look to lay down some butts. Okay or maybe you you look to draw a walk, okay, you sit there and let some pitches go by. You get a 3-0 count.

You know and you get you're sitting there at 3-0 and you just kind of lean back and you're like. Can this guy actually throw me a strike, and you know, but anyway enough, dumb sports analogies, it's not even baseball season well spring training soon, but anyway there's times to be aggressive and there's times to be. You know to sit there and really wait for that. Groover up the middle on a 3-0 count: okay, um! Now i i will say this again: there will be a good trade.

Okay. There will be something okay, it may or may not be anything we discussed this morning at 8. 30. Okay, that's that's! That's the the bummer.

When things are slower like this, there will be a runner. There will be some low float stock with news with some bs press release that gets pumped on twitter pumped on chat that shorts pile into and then runs okay, but just re make sure you're waiting. For that i mean i just ticked off. You know five criteria that make a good morning, runner make sure you're waiting for those all right enough enough lecturing.

We will move on um. One point i do want to make. You know bitcoin ugly this morning, um what i'm looking for - and many of you are probably thinking the same thing, but i do want to say that i personally like this pullback. I know everybody is a you know.

Everybody loses their minds. Why isn't bitcoin at 100? 000, but i think we got some decent technical support here at that 35k level and uh that's going to be the do or die. So what you want to look for is basing at that 35k level and then that grinding back above and then you're gon na look to buy those perks off of 35k and then risk a breakdown. So maybe you know remember it's 35k, so maybe you're trading at 36k you're buying at 36k, you're selling.

You know below 35., i mean obviously you're not buying a thousand bitcoin you're buying. You know a quarter of a bitcoin or whatever your account size permits. But i do like the fact that this did pull back to those areas from basically you know september 20, um 2020. You know and then also september 2021.

So, let's see if that 35k level holds um. Aside from that, you know. Listen! It's a bummer! We got a lot of earnings this week, but you know it's like we got all this stuff with with you know ukraine, and, and - and so i don't know and remember this isn't political, it's just we're going. You know i i said it a month ago.

You know you can you can go back and watch the pre-market perhaps a month ago, i'm like writing's on the wall. Here we come we're ukraine, but anyway, we'll see how that pans out but again be conservative into those announcements, so um my number ones. What am what are my tops? I, if you're on the weekend watch list you know imte this thing i mean this is like green day number 9000 for imte. If you remember again from the weekend watch list, this really reminds me of jks from a couple years ago.

Look at this straight up vertical chart terrible company super sketch, but there is a reason that this thing is green every day even last week. So this as of right now a lot can change, but as of right now i am te, probably number one. Now it's still her bear with me so um. I am t e hanging around top watch for sure and let me increase my accounts.

Uh account increase. My account size that would be good on a choppy day. Let me increase my font size, hey. We all want to increase our account size.

That's the goal. Baby um anyway increase my font, size um. May the trading gods. Allow me to increase my account size, along with my font size today, baz asked about hcwb um, not much volume, yeah yuck, no offense byes.

I don't like it um javonna asking about imte. Yes number one. What do you think about a weak, open red degree and on gmda? So gmda is a lot like imte um. You know anything look familiar.

You know here. We are green day number, three, four or five in a row. So yes, um renzo yes on the gmda weak, open, ready, green crappy volume. Okay, i mean it's only trading 30 000 shares, but imt is kind of the same, so um stringing together green days for sure a ward, an rbo, 65 pre-market.

So nrbo is a crappy former runner um, no news! Let me take a look at breaking news. Is there any news on nrbo? I do not see it so normally i don't like stuff that breaking news has no news on yeah. So that's what you know for the sake of time. I don't see anything in my news feed.

I don't see anything on breaking news. I say avoid it now understand where we are okay. Listen! Two weeks ago you know here we are taking out the lows: okay, bitcoin s, p 500. You know, you know everything's gapping down this move.

So here's your trading rule of the day, okay days like today. In my opinion, and as always, we can agree to disagree. I love to debate, but today ain't the day to be trading stocks with no use. Okay.

Now, if i'm missing something on nrvo, hey, that's fine, but i don't see anything. I don't want to trade some crappy down trending stock, with no news on a day when it feels like everyone's going into defense mode, make sense um. What do you think about tesla, remember earnings on thursday or no no wednesday, tomorrow or wednesday, right 26.. So wait for earnings.

You know if you're playing guessing games before earnings. I think i think they'll be good news, but hey i mean tesla's pulling back but everything's pulling back wait for earnings this week, uh bbig bbig, still hanging around twitter pump. Don't know afternoon. Only okay: there you go if this thing's running in the afternoon remember this was last week's twitter pump, but i just you know and i'm sorry, okay, i don't i don't decide.

You know what the market you. I don't decide that the market's going to sell off because the ukraine news or sell-off because of coven news. You know i don't just determine these things, but again i you're gon na get a lot of the same answer. You know we got.

We got seven minutes together, i'll give you the best i got, but i'm telling you if you want to save a little time. I'll summarize, the next seven minutes afternoon at yo v lab holds basically across the board other than a week, open, ready, green on imte or maybe gdma afternoon b, okay, extn dip and rip. You know this is some kind of weird merger news. So people shorten this.

I'm guessing so it's just some kind of weird merger news, but if people are trying to short this because they're dumb yeah three to four enter flex and extra incorporation combined, creating the premier integrated global provider of energy infrastructure, i i mean i'm guessing that just people Are i mean i mean listen days like today? Shorts are looking for something to short, so there you go dip and rip extn, but i'm still gon na say the same thing. If you're new okay afternoons, chris says what about sofi. You know this was one of my favorite real stocks last week, but you know, let's get you know, here's the thing with real stocks, 9 out of 10 real stocks follow the market. So as much as i like, sofi um, if you were on stocks to trade advisory, we had a killer swing trade on this middle of last week.

But here's the thing and and again i don't make these rules. Okay, don't yell at me as much as i like the news on sofi as much as i like. The sector. Nine out of ten real stocks follow the overall market.

So i think, if you're buying a weak, open, ready green today, assuming the market stays down here, you're you're fighting the trend. Now will there be some real stock that bucks the trend, sure but price action on sofa doesn't look good and and until the market turns around you're you're you're you're fighting the trend instead of fighting the trend make the trend, your friend, okay, so um? Okay, oh pixie, so pixie um. This was kind of a top watch on friday. Never went anywhere but interesting squeeze this morning.

So you know we talk about this. A lot you'll be like hey tim. How do you recognize heavily shorted stocks, but listen pixie, no news! Until 8 a.m, you know when you see these 4 a.m, moves it's something, definitely to keep an eye on, because there's no now listen, you could say. Oh you know, people knew the press release was coming.

Probably i mean remember: penny stocks are manipulated. Penny stocks are scams, but when i see a 4am spike from a buck to basically two bucks that tells me shorts are stuck stocks started trending up, they panic, they get margin called etc. So look for this above pre-market highs, because, if shorts didn't get squeezed out, they're gon na panic at that level, so probably number two for me. So again, as of now as of 8 43 with the market making new lows, you can hear my enthusiasm, imt, weak, open, ready, green number, one pixie dip and rip number two.

Do i love either of them? I don't it's just it's kind of the best. I got you know so bvos i mean over 250 yeah or sorry sorry over friday's highs 265., but it means still it's just you know: here's the bummer, guys and gals. You know it's like i mean it's like listen. Sixty thousand shares i mean i mean imte.

18 000 shares pixie, i mean even pixie, 2 million. So i don't know. Yes, it's a break of friday's highs, but i can't get that excited so all right, i've tortured you enough. I appreciate everyone being here and these are the days you know what's coming.

You know i'm gon na close, okay, um number one. There will be something today it may be. It may not come until 3. 55 p.m.

Okay, you might have to wait. You know seven hours. There will be something, though it may be seven hours and ten minutes from now, but also understand is my boy, jesse livermore loved, to say: there's a time to go long, there's a time to go short, there's a time to go. Fishing, okay and you've always got work to do you can review.

You can update your spreadsheets from last week. You can review your journals from last week. Maybe you've got a. Maybe you bought a trading book last week.

Maybe you've got some webinars to get caught up on. Maybe you bought a trading dvd that you're halfway through and listen if you, if you bought tim gratani's dvd two months ago and you're halfway through it, hey take today and finish trading tickers, your trading tickers yo. There's always work to do and it's not always about pressing buttons. I know people want press buttons.

People want action, but the analogy last analogy of the day. You know i always talk about, like you know like nfl quarterbacks, okay, as an nfl quarterback you're on the field like an hour a week. Okay, roughly you can fat check yeah. I think it's something like that.

You're actually on the field one hour a week, but is that the only time you're working? Well, if you, if you suck yes, but if you're gon na be you know a tom brady with with 20 years of success and five super bowls or whatever it is you're, not just working that one hour a week that one hour a week is the pressing. The buttons, but there's 95 99 more hours of work in the gym in the film room. Reviewing you know, working with your team on the practice field. Those are the days take advantage of today, but just make sure you're checking your boxes.

Okay, have a great day. My friends, don't blame me um, but we'll have something all right have a great day. My friends we'll see you next time. Oh and remember, if you remember, i am still doing pre-market prep every day, alex if you could drop them a link to steady trade advisory.

So i am still here a lot of you don't realize i am still here every day at 8, 30., it's just other than monday. It's the stocks of trade advice. All right. I got ta turn up the music.

You.
