Welcome everybody: it is the 20th of january. I'm sure several of you are trading out there. I hope you're doing well. It's 2022 new year new, you um several updates.

I got for you just quickly and then we'll talk about what i'm doing um. So small cap got some messages today about live trading. Uh, we're definitely gon na queue that up and try to get live, training going again exclusively within the small cap rockets chat room, so we're gon na try to do it next week, uh bryce tui and i actually will be in colorado together, uh and while we're There, when we trade in the morning, we'll try to figure out um the best way to stream live. Really, you just need my laptop.

So if you're, not in small cap, that's the place to be it would be very cool and especially if you're struggling in the market, you can look like i'm gon na, explain what i'm doing, but you can look in real time. Um and watch bryce and i trade and ask his questions within the small cab rocky community really awesome and we'll definitely get that queued up for you. So that's coming up um yeah! I got another announcement later, but i'll save it to the end. So stick around uh.

The main thing i want to talk about is being selective in the market. That's going to be today's entire topic. Right. There are trades out there, there's definitely trades up there.

There's stocks moving! There's stocks on my scanners right and for those of you in small cap or watch my youtube videos. You know what my scanners are they're, very very specific i have like. I don't know i want to say six or seven criteria on those scanners and on those scanners like because of those settings they're strict and i've tweaked them so much over the last couple of years. Instead of scanning, like a top percent gainer and seeing like a thousand stocks i'll see like two, maybe three right and because of that, i'm letting the tools, the software stocks, trade, do the work for me and then i'll get three stocks.

And i can look at them and see if i even want to trade them uh and that's really how i've been approaching the market being super selective um, my scanner yeah during a hot market we might see like 20 25 tickers, but right now, there's only three And, rather than going out there trying to like force a trade, i know these three stocks are the highest potential for me to possibly trade. So then i form a plan around them. Typically, the best trades i've been seeing are in the afternoon. There was decent setup today on dats d-a-t-s.

I did not take it. I ended up failing at high day and just getting clobbered into close, pretty classic like end of day failure breakout. So these moves, you still got ta, be quick, but if you know what you're looking for, especially if you know your style so like that's, my style like my scanners are built for me and the way i trade, i would encourage all of you. Whatever your strategy is morning, dip buys panics, breakouts shorting like make sure your criteria is very, very strict and some days you might have zero stocks on it.

Now. Typically, my scanner always has at least one stock on it. Maybe yours, though, you're just very specific, and you only have to trade two or three times a week, because that's the only setups you have out there, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. We've all gotten this mentality of trading all day every day and there's a time and there's a place, but at the end of the day, trading is about finding the setup that works for you and just nailing it.

It doesn't matter if you're tim sykes, if you're tim mcgertani, you know when there's a trade they trade it and when there's not, they just don't do anything right. Tim sykes has this whole mentality of being a retired trader, and it's definitely the right mindset to go into it with right. Like you know, 2018 2019 we're slower 2020 2021 we're hot 2022.. You know it's kind of chopping around on.

There's definitely plays it's not just slow. I mean the problem. We're really seeing fundamentally. Is the overall market go.

Look at the s. P 500. Go look at the nasdaq they're down a ton. Um not relatively, like, i think, they're down five percent this year, but we're 20 20 days into the month.

So five percent is quite a bit uh and they're just getting clobbered because of these rate hikes everything's kind of pulling back, but there's one sector that does in fact have money and i think, we're going to see a sector run within the first quarter of the Year and that is metaverse and nft stocks right, so we really haven't seen a sector run in a little bit. I want to say, like six months almost and the metaverse there's so much hype, so much hype around nft and the money right now is strictly in the nft space. So the money kind of moved from small caps to crypto and altcoins to nfts. And if you know me, i really don't care what i trade.

I chase the money and i'm looking at nfts nfts. I was looking at like six months ago, have 10 20 x uh. I had one trade on boss beauties over the last like month. I let everyone in my crypto war room, crypto rockets, you name it.

Everyone knew about it. I put on my twitter. If you follow me on my twitter boss, beauties, they have 5xed. Some of them have 10xed over the last month and just fantastic moves in the nft space.

If you look at the activity chart, if you're familiar with openc, you can see the activity of all the trades and it's just starting to go absolutely parabolic, and i really think the next month it's going to just go more and more parabolic. So i am hunting. Every single day - and i have two marketplaces - 24 7 marketplace - so i'm hunting every day for possible trades. There's a lot of really cool mints.

New projects coming out over the next month, uh there's just a lot of money flowing in the space, so people are probably gon na make a lot of money off nfts and i'm definitely gon na, be there trying to trade them. But on the side i'm going to be watching scanning looking for nft and metaverse stocks, because i think that sector is going to pop off. And if you remember how sector momentum works. Usually you get that one stock that'll blow up and go from like a dollar to like 50, and then you get like 10 others that kind of all follow it and the strategy that i've kind of gravitated to is i let that one stock that leader do Whatever it wants, because eventually it just becomes so hot, it's difficult to trade for the way i like to trade, and i focus on those 10 sympathy plays and that first day we take off into day two, we usually see some pretty insane gaps.

I'm talking hundreds of percents look at what uh fun phun did when dwack ran d-w-a-k-d-w-a-c when dwac ran fun, went from like a dollar to 25 dollars. That was the sympathy play. It wasn't even the leader right and that's because d walk went to like a hundred. So there's a lot of money to be made in sympathy plays especially if you time it right and i'm calling it right now on the 20th of january, i think the metaverse nft is going to be the next hot sector, but it's not about timing.

Oh it's! It is all about timing, it's not about getting in front of it right like so nft metaverse stock could go down 50 right now before it runs it's waiting and then reacting. That's really! The key is reacting, i'm not predicting. I think that's where it's going to be, but if another sector takes off that's fine and there's no money. I have on the line right now in nft or metaverse stocks, because i'm waiting for that sector to heat up and then i will trade it and sector momentum.

If any of you are familiar with rolling wolf, i'm name dropping a lot of traders here, but roland wolfe makes pretty much all his money exclusively on these hot sectors like three four times a year. That's just where he thrives and i really like that style, and that is what i'm looking for. So with that being said, there's a really cool opportunity. Everyone has to learn from one of the traders i learned from, and his name is tim bowen.

He has an event with tim sykes, so two of my mentors in the same place next week, uh we'll include a link below right andrew. We can hook him up. He says yes, he says. Yes, we can include a link below make sure you check it out.

Sign up, bowen has been on a tear out of all the traders. I know his pre-market prep and all his calls are like phenomenal more times than i actually find myself looking at the calls, because i'm like he's he's, really knows what he's talking about um. So you know be there, that's really all i have to say, there's a link below click. It be there sign up for his event.

It's really cool uh, it's a strategy that he first launched. I want to say in september uh and he's you know. I've heard some rumors because i work in the stock straight office he's talking a lot about some really cool results, he's had how he's fine-tuned the strategy and how a lot of his subscribers have had a lot of success and i've seen it firsthand because i've seen All his fantastic plays - and he just has good good calls over and over again i know a lot of you guys are on the stock trade. Youtube channel watch him every monday when he does his free pre-market prep session.

Thank you for watching there's! You know this is a great time to prepare, so whatever you got next wednesday clear, it make sure you show up for that event, be on the hunt for nfts, be on the hunt for a possible sector momentum and be selective right.
