Good Session Today!

Reviewed in detail:

  • PLTR gap up chase this week into EPS 11/3

  • CTSH beat that still needs 76 before safe and that will be another few weeks.

  • CAT sweet earnings beat as expected given themes as tailwind; mirrors SLV parabola

  • ZIM potential as trend reversal & insider buying of size (not high conviction)

  • ZS trigger 332 for ATH - EPS 12/1

  • CSCO continuation long > 72.55 - EPS 11/12

Swing Shorts Working Well - need to stay below:

  • TMUS - 230

  • RCL - 313

  • XLF - 54

  • CVNA - 376

ROBOTICS Review of TER, SYM & BSY rec’d longs JULY 15th on the ROBOTICS theme since TER announced this morning:

  • TER reported earnings this morning and is gapping up 20%, but it is up 98% since July 15th. Semiconductor Test accounted for 78.8% of Q3 revenue, Product Test 11.4%, and Robotics 9.8%. Room to grow!

  • SYM last earnings they warned & stock fell 13% from guidance: “Looking ahead, with the launch of a proprietary new storage structure, we expect a temporary short-term impact on revenue based on schedules shifting to accommodate.” Then, it was defended, reversed and ran up ahead of its next report 11/17. This pick is up 60% since rec’d, and is still very bullish above $64 week/month support.

  • BSY is the disappointment, down -12% so far, but let’s see if earnings 11/5 next week will delight.

No Fed Day Afternoon Live Trading Room notes - although that USD bounce with Yields was well-timed for an intraday short in SPX, QQQ & IWM! ;-) I did warn…

Let’s see if we get follow-through into Friday.
Speaking of which, I will resume Friday sessions this week, so Happy Halloween ;-)
