Good morning,

This week marks the third anniversary of Brown Technical Insights, and the very first Monday Morning Playbook was sent out on September 19, 2022.

To celebrate, I’m throwing it back to the original title of the Thursday single stock report: The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Today, we’re going to break down some dominant market themes I’m seeing from the bottom up, many of which are good, but there are a few that are ugly or downright bad.

We’ll review:

  • Quantum stocks

  • Aerospace & defense

  • New transportation stocks

  • Old transportation stocks

  • Traditional energy

  • Non-traditional energy

  • Restaurants

And a few Hot List updates. Let’s get into it!


The good: Quantum stocks

Rigetti broke out last Friday

And is up another 14% so far this week. Base measures to $27.

And there goes D-Wave Quantum

Huge move yesterday. Coincidentally, this base also measures to $27.
