Netflix $NFLX has stabilized nicely after its big drop and is growing nicely. It's now getting to the level where it fell after earnings for the first time on January 21, 2022. If the price gets above that zone, the gap could be closed, so the price could rise another 11%.

With the positive market developments we are now experiencing this seems very likely. I will certainly keep...

From its peak, $MET shares have quickly fallen below the TOP values of the years before the 2008 crisis.

This stock is -21% this year despite the market. It has bounced off the $50 level - there was support from 2019 before the big fall came.

Recent earnings have not been good and the company's profitability is plummeting.
MetLife provides financial services and is in the...

So finally, neither $NVDA nor $AMD have recovered from yesterday's losses, which they suffered before the market opened on reports that the US government could again adjust chip shipments to China.

Although they looked to take profits during trading to erase their losses, both firms ended the trading day in the red.

Is this a sign of slowing growth or just a slight wobble in the...

So the expected market correction is here. Currently, the $SPY is down 2% from last week's highs. How deep will this correction be?

There's still a chance it stalls and we go up again. But I wouldn't be too inclined to do that...

What do you think of $YUM stock? This brand has brands like KFC under it and is in the restaurant and fast food industry.

Anyone have them in their portfolio?

Luxury brands and goods work great, but cars aren't far behind either.

Ferrari $RACE has been breaking through the stable to new heights in recent months, and the current trend seems absolutely unbreakable.
The stock has gained over 40% since the beginning of the year.

Everyone pays by card, but how are the companies that run them doing?

Both$V and $MA are near their absolute peaks. These companies with a great business model, dividend and huge margins can still be a great part of a portfolio.

Does anyone have them, or are you just walking around. The price is higher now, but that wasn't quite true a year ago.

Despite seeing inflation data this week and watching the Fed meeting, which has had a big impact on the markets in recent months, volatility is still at lower levels. The VIX index is at 13.54. Is there a turn coming?

$GME has been on a steady rise since Earnings, when it beat analysts' estimates in terms of earnings per share. Up 34% in four trading days!

First the stock fell down in premarket as it missed earnings estimates by 7.8%, but it's only been rising since then - adding over 10% yesterday. This company has no future in my opinion and this is the last remnants of hype left in it...

Google $GOOG took a big hit on Wednesday, with shares falling more than 5%. They ended the momentary growth, at least for a while.

Yesterday, when most stocks and indices were giving back gains after Wednesday's plunge, Google stayed around zero and ended the day with a small loss.

Will this be the stock that first starts the correction so others can follow?

Since Friday, we have not moved anywhere on the $SPY and are stuck in a sideways trend below significant resistance while the tech $QQQ fell 1.7% yesterday

Technology stocks took a hammer to the head yesterday. It will be interesting to see where the market decides to move. Which way do you lean?

For me, a correction wouldn't hurt, but this market is still very much in hype, so I...

Also, as one of the companies that rode the AI hype,$TSM has now beautifully filled the gap that the price created during the euphoria with $NVDA.

Stocks love to fill these price gaps and I'm just curious to see how this particular Nvidia one plays out.

Oil has been in a sideways trend for several months and doesn't know where to go next.

Is anyone focusing on commodities here?

The$NVDA has reached the $1T mark and is finally climbing from that level. It wrote off over 5% just yesterday.

I like to trade closing the gap that price creates. Until then, there is a possibility for a return to the previous high and then price could rise. However, the AI trend is very strong at the moment and I don't really want to get into this trade.

How do you guide it?...

The major indices and most markets are up significantly today, but $KO and $PG, for example, are not.
