Good morning,

Today’s Stock Trends is going to look a little different, and it’s a bit of a throwback to our original title: The good, the bad, and the ugly.

We aren’t going to organize things like that, but today I’m taking a look at the biggest, most important, and frankly just most talked-about stocks and sorting them into hard calls based on how I see the charts.

Sometimes, the technicals don’t give you a strong read, but we’re going to take a look at all the Mag 7 stocks, memory names, and much more, and bucket them into:

  • Buys right now

  • Bullish bias - stay long if you own it

  • No reason to own it - not a short or outright sell, but I don’t see a compelling reason to own the stock

  • Outright sells

We’ll start with our tactical buys and also end with a few Hot List updates.


Buys right now

JPM: JPMorgan Chase

JPM reported earnings on Tuesday and has broken out to new all-time highs. This base measures to $396, and the stock is breaking out in relative terms as well.

GS: Goldman Sachs

Goldman also reported earnings Tuesday morning and is breaking out of a base-on-base. It’s at 52-week relative highs and printing a daily MACD buy signal.

HOOD: Robinhood
