Thank you. Hello, everybody. Welcome on in. How is it going, Ben?
I am here. So that's great. That's a good start. How are you doing?
I am here. So that's great. That's a good start. How you doing?
I'm good. I'm good. It's been a fun day in the market with, you know, the move back to the upside and a lot of stocks.
Deciding not to give back a lot of those gains from Friday, but instead come back up like in Tesla right here.
Google all time highs, I believe, today, which was pretty exciting to see.
So, yeah, excited to see where these things continue to go,
but it seems like a pretty decent day in the market. And then I do know that in our morning
space, some people were pointing out that, you know, especially coming off that pop on Friday
with IWM, that they were looking to see if we get some more continuation. I believe that IWM came up
to a fresh 52-week high off that pop. It's not quite at all-time highs, right?
There's still some work to go there.
Some people, I think, are liking that to see if it can make a move towards all-time highs.
That's exactly the story.
That's what I wrote about this morning.
And my morning note, excuse my congestion.
I'm still getting over a sinus surgery I had last week.
I'm still getting over a sinus surgery I had last week.
But yeah, all eyes on IWM for me after the Powell pivot at Jackson Hole on Friday.
We broke above.
Let me pull up the charts here on IWM.
Okay, we broke above the resistance there at 231.46.
We're still holding above that.
And I think we will break 243 in the near future 243.04 I'm sure
Doug your fresh will chime in on that as well and you know based on that you know every once in a
while in in my morning though in the macro discussion I close my closing words are carpe diem
when I'm really bullish about the market and this morning was one of them carpe diem and that just means
especially with risk assets
Small caps you have a catalyst something like that you want to act fast act in size and don't hesitate
Because the wind is at your back, so
Now that's the the macro of my feeling on it. I capitalize on that this morning
man, I sound so weird
with this crazy congestion but air a HR a lot of you know mr. air that was my
first and still only seven-figure profit million dollar profit I made on air a
few years ago but I've been waiting for this catalyst on air this morning. I was ready
to jump on it at $18, $18.20 in pre-market, so made like $40,000 on it today. That was
beautiful. But that's the environment we're in, and despite what IWM might be doing, it's
down half a percent today. It's still above the breakout level, and underneath the surface,
it's very strong the breath is very strong
in small caps and risk assets the uh price action and reaction to catalysts very strong very
productive so even though iwm is down today it's not reflective of what's happening underneath so
i'm extremely bullish right now risk assets and i'm acting that way so that's if you what's that
did you sell the position on AAHR?
In my long-term account, yes.
I didn't sell any in my long-term account.
AAHR, my target's in the 50s on AAHR.
So I didn't sell a single share in my long-term account.
In that competition that we have with EMP,
who I guess will be back next week, I think,
raised on parental leave with a new baby.
So can't wait to talk to him about that.
But yeah, so we have this on that weekly stock picking show, which I'm probably going to miss again today, Wolf,
because it's just so hard for me to speak until I get all these contraptions out of my nose on Wednesday.
until I get all these contraptions out of my nose on Wednesday.
But in any case, Air was one of my—
we had a yearly competition where we chose two socks for the full year.
So my two were ASTS and Root.
And I was winning that, by the way, most of the year.
I just checked in this morning, Gov, and now you're winning with Hood.
Because Root went down, and Hood has been just flying. So actually, you're in first place the year, I just checked in this morning, Gov, and now you're winning with Hood because Root went down
and Hood has been just flying.
So actually you're in first place right now, I think, on the yearly competition.
But we did one for the second half of the year.
And for the second half of the year, my two picks were AFCS and Air.
And I think I'm winning the second half of the year one.
Actually, let me just pull up that sheet right now. Second half of the year one. Actually, let me just pull up that sheet right now.
Second half of the year picks.
Actually, no.
Wow.
Andrew with MSOS.
114, 119% on MSOS.
That's kind of hard to beat.
So, man, a lot of good picks from the 5 p.m. panel.
But anyway, that's my macro view.
Well, I guess we're a little bit short on speakers, so we got a lot.
Feel free to ask me anything.
Let's kick it over to Dougie Fresh for feedback on that and your macro view, Dougie.
Well, Ben, I'm glad to hear that you're doing a little better there.
I hope surgery and everything, your procedure went well and your sinuses, everything's good.
I know what that's like.
My sinuses are jacked up. I've had a deviatedated set i got hit in the nose with a baseball that when i
was younger i'd had problems ever since so yeah that's always the worst right there so i feel for
you know what did it for me dougie i got hit in the nose with a baseball i don't know when i was
like 10 or 11 and i think i was nine and i think that's when I got the deviated septum. I finally uh
Finally dealing with that. So we'll see if uh if it works after this recovery
Yeah, no, I hope the best way because I've had it my whole life as well since the age of nine
I got smacked in the face with a baseball bat on accident
Uh, the kid was uh, just grounded out and I was going up to uh
Going up the bat and he like uh, or no, I just grounded out and i was going up to uh going up the bat and he like uh or no i
just grounded out i was going to get my bat he was just standing up there and took a practice swing
and just smashed me in the face and then after that we all had to wear like the face masks and
everything on our helmets after that in our league but anyway yeah that's the worst right there and
i've dealt with it my entire life too had multiple surgeries so i know
exactly what you're feeling like but anyway let's go to the market and see what that's feeling like
it was a little red when it opened up but definitely changed hands and it's starting
to move a lot better i think it's all going to rely on that nvidia earnings of spy is down like
50 cents it was down like a dollar 40 or 50 so a lot more. It's starting to pull up now, so it does look a lot better now.
And again, NVIDIA earnings Wednesday.
Is that in the – I'm not sure if it's in the beginning or if it's in the after hours.
Afternoon.
Afternoon, yeah, in the after the hours.
So that will – in the next two days, we'll be watching that very closely.
But I'll tell you what, NVIDIA is not looking bad. And you were talking about IWM.
And it is the small cap show.
And yeah, it's down $1.25 after that.
Huge run up Friday, like you were saying.
And like you were talking about, that 240 right there is pretty much right where your resistance is.
And it will shoot up there.
It might jump around in this 233 and 230 range just for a hair.
Why it gets completely set up.
But you will be seeing that 240 relatively quick on IWM.
And the small caps are looking good.
New all-time highs.
I'm going to break that 243.04.
Yeah, no, I agree.
Once it hits that 240 and gets over that support, that resistance, and makes it support, it's going to see the 245 250 area pretty quick after that so it is setting up bullish as the market is guys everything is looking good i think we're
just seeing a little end of summer pullback and nothing crazy we're not going to see any
corrections or anything like that there's way too much support it looks like and things are looking
good like i said spy's been moving around our mag 7 doesn't look too bad
and i just think we're waiting for nvidia earnings and i can't imagine their earnings being bad with
the way ai is right now and everything they have going on so i could see that being really good
and that will make the market just jump up again and if it doesn't trump will have to pull one of
the one of his things out of his rolodexx out of his back pocket, say that we have a China deal in the works and that'll make it move.
So there's so many things that make this market move.
And like money market talked about, it's almost in a bubble territory because nothing can stop the momentum.
Every time it looks like it wants to pull back a little bit, it just keeps ripping up higher, guys.
So it's just not going to stop here.
And AI keeps the trend of it going.
And then we should see the rate cuts in September.
And that will make the market move.
Obviously, crypto is pulling back.
Somebody dumped off like a bunch of Bitcoin yesterday.
And I don't even know if they really sold.
I think they just sold it for Ethereum is what I understand.
I could be completely wrong.
But if you looked at their wall, they had like 156,000 Bitcoin.
They had like $17 billion in Bitcoin.
So they sold off like 24,000 Bitcoin.
And I think they get some Ethereum.
So whatever happened, it did pull back.
And I think it's just all good opportunities happen in this market.
And like Ben was saying, he's bullish. I've been super bullish. it did pull back and i think it's just all good opportunities happen in this market and like ben
was saying he's bullish i i've been super bullish i think this thing's ready to get ripping for the
second half of the year so i'm pretty excited for what i'm seeing how about you ben what do you
think yeah just a couple uh items i want to respond to um if nvidia earnings don't like send
the qqq spy up i don't think that invalidates what's
going on with iwm i think iwm it's been lagging for years i think it's going to do its own thing
look you know how many how many new all-time highs like qqq and spy have hit like constantly
over the last two or three years and iwm is not you know for a long long time. So I think you have to buy that Fed pivot.
And I think small caps will do its own thing.
And maybe if the reaction to the video is not good, I don't think it's going to be a market sell-off.
I think it will be a further rotation to small caps.
So I'm really bullish to small caps right now.
How do you not buy?
I remember when IWM and RK and everything peaked it was it was the
pivot to you know hire the worry about inflation and it was just devastating even as nvidia was
going up uh initially everything went down but the qqq spy recovered quickly after that and then
nvidia led the market for like a year year and half, and the small caps in RK were still being devastated for a long time.
So I think you can see, you know, just as the worry about higher rates caused IWM RK to go down, I think now you have to buy the Fed pivot in risk assets, irregardless of what NVIDIA might do to the market on Wednesday. And then regarding pullbacks, I agree with you.
We are in this seasonal period where people worry about pullbacks.
We made it through August without a pullback.
And August has been very difficult the last few years.
People are now worried about September.
And once they get past October, usually it's really hot, November, December, January.
And once you get past October, usually it's really hot November, December, January.
But I agree with you that if there is a pullback, I think it'll be mild and transient in September and October.
Talk about mild and transient pullbacks.
And if you get a larger pullback, I think that's – if you're in the right places, I think that can be a generational buying opportunity, as I've been talking about pretty much every single day
in my morning newsletter over the last month,
ever since August started,
ever since we started being on watch for a pullback.
I'm like, yeah, you might get a pullback,
but if you do, you want to buy the crap out of that.
So, yeah, we've nailed the macro together here
the last month or so. Wolf, back to you.
Yeah, a lot of good thoughts there, especially on Bitcoin. And I'm curious to see what the next
leg up is. I would love to just maybe dive into some of these individual names at this point,
since I think we've covered the macro pretty well, you know, all-time highs, getting through August,
sentiment, some of the other pieces.
So, Ben, do you want to kick it off with some of the individual names you're looking at first?
I want to go to Dougie first.
Well, you know what?
Just because I need a little break from talking and breathing.
Let's go Dougie first.
Yep, no problem, Ben.
I'll carry it with no problem at all.
So as much as you need a break, just tell me and I'll talk.
You know that. So open door. with no problem at all so as much as you need a break just tell me and i'll i'll talk you know
that so open door guys who was telling you guys at like 50 cents i think uh one of these uh early
early ones you could see was going to be bullish it is ripping today as a matter of fact it got up
to what 587 it's at 553 i even told you guys not to buy it on the pullback and exactly when it was ready to go back up. So we nailed open door, I would say, pretty well.
And it is. It looks pretty good.
It's in the top, obviously.
You're kind of chasing it with momentum right now.
So you couldn't wait.
But this thing looks like it's going to continue to stay bullish and continue to cruise up there.
DNN is another one we spoke about.
It ran up a little pullback.
But I think that one's still in a bullish way, about it ran up a little pullback but i think that one's still being
uh still in a bullish way just getting set up a little bit it's a uranium one in canada
and it's dense in mines and it's just kind of curling up right now it may not get through the
macd this time but it is trying to crawl off that 20 and it has a nice little channel there and it will be bullish so
that one will be looking pretty good uh coming up and upxi guys is that solana treasury uh solana
crypto treasury one and it obviously was ripping up there on friday as solana and it solana was
ripping last night and uh and then it pulled back this morning with everything else with crypto.
So, but I expected this one to kind of be ripping as I'd gone to bed.
And when I woke up and I was up pretty late, so I'm not sure when it started to pull back Solana, but it was down when I woke up.
And then this one obviously was pulling back a little bit.
It's down.
But another one of these crypto treasury ones that you want to keep an eye on upxi and the
other ones like bmnr and um and sbet they're ethereum ones and they're obviously setting up
speaking of bmnr that thing is really setting up right there that ethereum one so you definitely
want to keep an eye on that one and even sbet sbet game sharp link gaming one this one's getting
bullish as well they They ran up on Friday
and a little bit of pullback today. And again, just getting set up. I think you have
a good week or two or so setup period during this end of summertime. And then these markets
look like they're going to get ripped and maybe it's a little more pullback than two weeks, but
it's not going to be anything too significant at least it doesn't look
like it there's a lot of good support lines holding it up and and it looks pretty well there
and uh we'll go through pew because we had talked about that one it ripped up before and took a nice
little dip there this is one that trump jr and his uh trump's kids are involved in grab a gun
digital holdings and i have a feeling they're going to end up into the crypto treasury space as well.
So I'd be paying attention to that.
It did pull back.
It looked like its bottom was there at 488.
You're at 559 now.
And it's trying to slowly cruise up there.
So that's P-E-W, Grab-A-Gun Digital.
So just a couple good ones.
Open DNN, UPXI, P-nn upxi pew there are a lot of small caps
guys getting ready to run up so i do agree at iwm we'll see some all-time highs coming up very soon
so there that's what i have for you and ben you can throw some out and if you want i'll go through
the charts and give you a breather so that you uh can can uh rest up a little bit so just let me know okay yeah there
is a particular name i want you to look at but yeah uh we've been all over bmnr uh last month
or so and i have a big position in it right now it's uh the daily chart just looks absolutely
beautiful to me and then the fundamentals are great too they're just doing a great job you
know selling selling the atm high and buying ETH.
That nav keeps rising.
They have some like 8.5 billion ETH now.
I'm not sure exactly what the market cap is because they tap that ATM every week,
but you're probably at like a 15% premium, which is not too bad compared to historically what MicroStrategy has been doing.
So I love the daily chart here on BM&R.
I'm looking for a target of 59 to 70 on BM&R, but you do need ETH to cooperate for that.
All right, let's dig into some of these small caps.
I talked to you about AIR.
You know, this news this morning was a further acceleration of ai orders
wave one a few years ago where i rode this up from two dollars fifty cents twenty five dollars
is all about evs uh this wave here which i got in again at around 13 in my retirement account
i'm going to be riding this to the mid 50s at least uh this time it's about ai uh so yeah this is one of my highest
conviction small cap picks right now and it's just still getting started uh even at up 40 39
right here right now i already sold my short-term trading position prematurely this morning uh in
about 18 out of 22 but again haven't sold a single long-term share. And if you're not in this long-term yet, I think it's a good buy here, even at 25-20.
You just have to have the right time frame.
Because short-term, I could always correct a few dollars or whatever.
But it's going to the mid-50s.
All right.
That's air.
Several other small caps here to talk about.
Let's go Berna.
Because B-Y-R-N.
They had some news this morning.
Berna is, we talked about this extensively in this space before.
They sell the non-lethal gun, and their sales have been exploding.
Their profits have been exploding.
This last ER, you see here, it dropped from the mid-30s all the way to $18, $19.
And that was a self-inflicted wound.
It really should have never happened.
In the press release for the ER back there in July, they had a little line there about consumer softness or something like that.
consumer softness or something like that. And then in the conference call, they're like,
yeah, all we mean by that is that the conversion ratio on our website has dropped a little bit,
but our distribution channels are exploding so much that it completely offsets that,
and we're still going to maintain our growth rate, right? So I don't know. That was stupid. The way they they disclose that.
Subsequent to that, they've had a couple of good press releases about sales continuing to do well, even sequentially.
And this morning, more data on that.
And they quantified it, how their month or month sales on their website are growing, I think, by like 30% or something.
Now, their quarter ends August 31st, and they will likely, like they do every quarter,
issue a press release next Thursday.
They always do it the first Thursday after the quarter ends.
They pre-announce crazy like, crazy revenue numbers.
So the trend is your friend.
I expect that to happen again.
You see here we popped over the 20 DMA.
The RSI has been oversold now.
And let's see here.
The next levels are 22, 22, 36, 22, 40 to 24.
So I'm actively in this as a trade idea,
both common shares and call options I got into this morning.
Underperforming a little bit, not doing as well as I wanted,
but up 5%, got in early, so I'm up on the trade.
But looking for 22, 40 to 24, it may take a day or two to play out.
Wow, look at air Air just keep on going.
Man, if I—I bought 10,000 shares at $18.24 this morning, man.
If I kept it all away, I left a lot of money on the table.
But anyway, all right, so there's Air, Berna, another small cap one, which the godfather knows well, but I also like, is BZAI.
So pull up that chart of BZAI here.
And what interests me is go back and look at this gap on July 18th.
The stock went from like three, it doubled in two days, went to six. And that's because of a new $120
million order they got for a company that basically before this has no revenue, like a million dollars
a quarter revenue. And they got this $120 million order on a $410 million market cap company. And
there was some concern about the authenticity of that order, there were some entities that were short this name.
Subsequently, they had the earnings report on August 14th. And in my view and the Godfather's view, any concern about that was total BS.
This order is legit.
Now with the IWM tailwind, we're back above the 20 DMA.
Imminent target is 420, which is the high of the day, 421 high of the day on August
15th.
And I'm looking for this stock to get back into the 5 to 550 range, basically go back
to where it was initially after that announcement.
And the 200 DMA is up there at $5.50.
50 cents. Alright, so
that is
we covered BMLR, Air,
BYRN,
BZAI,
and I got one more here
which
okay
which
hey Wolf, do you know
PennyTrek, Undefined Mystic?
What was the question again? Do you know PennyTcheck, Undefined Mystic? What was the question again?
Do you know Pennycheck, Undefined Mystic?
The user?
They do sound familiar, actually.
All right, all right.
He's a big influencer.
He did some...
All right, I'm going to put this in the nest.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I see they were commenting on my stuff throughout the day, yeah.
All right, he did some good work this morning,
which I'm going to put in the nest, on. All right, he did some good work this morning,
which I'm going to put in the nest,
on a company called Richard's Robotics, RR.
Let me see here.
Put in the nest.
How do I do that?
I'm trying to put this.
Really good investigative research.
Here we go.
All right, so RR, a company I'm familiar with. I like the space, obviously.
Robotics, which is hot, okay.
Market cap, I like, $370 million.
And this is one which is a favorite of some other influencers who I'll remain, I don't want to mention because it could be controversial.
But in any case, this stock, always on my radar.
And then a penny check comes out with this post basically saying,
based on filings, he thinks they have a deal with Walmart,
which has not been PR'd yet.
And then in addition to that, Richardson Robotics,
they posted something on their social media.
Hold on.
I'm going to maybe put that in the nest also.
Robotics.
Richardson Robotics.
Rich Tech Robotics.
Sorry, I had it wrong.
Rich Tech.
So let me find their handle.
Rich.
Rich Tech Robotics.
Okay.
All right.
Right around the same time, Rich Tech Robotics retweeted NVIDIA.
NVIDIA Robotics.
One second.
Here it is.
All right.
Let's put this in the nest as well.
All right.
So they say,
We're thrilled to be one of the first robotics companies
adopting Jetson Thor to power our next generation robots.
Thanks to NVIDIA for helping us secure initial orders.
Okay, I'm not sure which initial orders they're talking about.
Is it this Walmart one that for some reason hasn't been press released?
I'm not sure, but you have a lot of smoke here
between NVIDIA, Walmart.
They're talking about initial orders here.
You're in the right space with robotics.
You're in the right macro period with small caps and IWM.
And then looking at the chart, I really like this chart also.
Let me pull this up here.
Yeah, the daily chart looks beautiful.
Look how it's just been riding up that 200 DMA so nicely since June 23rd when it first tested it.
It's been riding up that.
Today it's breaking out.
I think you can see a near-term test.
And when I say near-term, I think maybe even today or tonight of $2.90.
So RR, based on all of that, is something I added heavily to today as a trade idea as I
keep watching air go up. All right. So yeah, Dougie, I'd love your take on Rich Tech Robotics, RR.
Absolutely. I'm checking it out right now. RR is looking good with momentum up 38 cents right now,
up 17, almost 18% for the day. It day it's high as well 257 it looks like
it's at 246 and it does look like it's going to continue to cruise up it has some nice momentum
right there and that 20 is going to just keep pushing it up so that one does look really good
i have to agree and i do like that bzai as well that thing's ready to get cruising it's hitting the macd it looks like it
should cross right through the uh the 20s uh cruising that thing up so that has a lot of
momentum right now bzai it's at four hours it's up 41 cents it's actually moving up as we're sitting
here talking it's high it was 404 so it is looking really good for both of them so i agree 100 with
both of them guys look really nice.
I'll go through the other ones you were talking about.
Air, that one obviously was a beauty.
It keeps going up there, Ben.
Don't look at it.
It's at 25-35 right now.
But that is still a nice play that you had.
You did call that in the Discord.
So that was a beauty right there.
And that does have some good momentum.
I mean, it's about to hit the top.
And if it gets in the top,
it could really run up higher.
You'll be happy in your long-term account, that's for sure.
And how about your Berna right here, B-Y-R-N, or B-Y-R-N, yeah, Berna.
And that jumped up over to 20 today.
It's up over $1, $1.08 right now at 21, 28.
You were talking about it getting up into the 23s,
and I think it touched up
at 22 right there and that does it has some resistance all the way at 23 65 areas so you
could easily see that it's just going to take a day or two it does look like it should have jumped
up a little bit more but it looks like it gapped up from friday what it do it closed around 2020
or so and it opened up around 21 is what finbiz says
I know a trend spider will be a little different but right around them prices right there
So it did gap up this morning from friday's close. It looks like and it does look pretty good
So how about tssi? You uh checking that one out lately because I had run way down there
It looks like a bottomed out recently at that 13.88.
You're sitting at 15.37 right now, and that's trying to get curled up.
Just keeping an eye on that and seeing if it actually does want to start to run.
I know the 20 is pulling down.
You might just get a little pop-up.
It might not cross through the MACD to get more set up,
but just been watching it.
The chart looks kind of interesting on TSSI,
and I know you guys were a fan of that one before sold it off.
And it might be another opportunity really soon on that one.
So not sure if you've been watching that, Ben.
Yeah, I have been. I mean, the time to pick that up was it touched the 200 TMA to the penny.
And we're watching it that morning, but there was just so much going on with the market.
You know, sometimes I don't do limit orders.
I really should.
But, you know, if you had a limit order at the 200 DMA, that was the time to pick it up.
That's down because Moneymark, well, they did a $17 offering.
And I was holding $17 until Moneymark came out with a thesis or opinion that Dell is going to basically eat their lunch.
But I don't know.
I don't currently hold the position of that.
But yeah, what a beautiful bounce right off the 200 DMA.
Now regarding, I just wanted to go back to, oh yeah, BZAI.
I'm glad you liked that one.
I am in $3 and $4 calls and common shares on BZAI in my short-term account.
The $ dollar ones are
uh september expiry the three dollar ones are october should probably be vice versa
but in any case um yeah that that does look good glad you also like that
for a imminent move i think to at least 420. all right so that was a handful there wolf back to you
a lot of good names you guys are throwing out.
I know people in the comments always have questions on what tickers are being
hit. So maybe at the end of this, we can just kind of recap,
run through the ticker list or comment them below. But yeah,
a lot of interesting talk there on specifically ADHR, right?
Open, by the way, big, big drop from the highest today.
It was up 17% almost. It's pulled
back to five. Not sure if Dougie has any specific levels that he'd be looking to get into this at.
Oh, wow. Yeah. Open over 40% up on the day now. That other one that she mentioned was RR,
Rich Tech Robotics. That's up 17% on the day at the moment, and a pretty good yearly chart as well from where it's come out of.
So not anything, like, too specific for me at the moment.
I will say that I was still looking at SNES.
What's it called?
Yeah, SNES Tech, S-N-E-S.
Yeah, I was wondering if it's just kind of been
chilling here for like the last like couple months yeah well look my um my view on this
is that this last earnings report uh basically look we re-rated a lot from a dollar two dollars
all the way to six and i i think the stock is fairly priced now. Well, the market cap is $16 million.
There's still a lot of speculative value in this,
meaning if they execute, then it's really cheap.
If they execute here, this thing could be $10, $15, $20.
But based on what they achieved so far,
I think it makes sense that the stock took a breather
I think it makes sense that the stock took a breather after the last earnings report.
after the last earnings report.
Basically validating their move up, validating their re-rating up to this level,
but now they have to get to the next level of execution.
So I think the market's just waiting for new or uh or whatnot to take it to the next
level so um yeah i think it's it's fairly priced here with optionality upside no i agree with you
ben i just think that the uh it ran up beautifully honestly from when you guys had first picked it
out there and it has it has that perfect little stair step up it's in a bullish channel it looks
real good it's nice and steady the 20s coming down and it's sitting right below the trend line it honestly looks
pretty good all it has to do is maintain itself for about two weeks again towards this end of
summer when things are a little slow and that 20 should come underneath of it and curl it back up
and you should see it run right back up there into the sixes again. So I'll be keeping an eye on it just to try to time it out a little better.
Like I said, you have a little bit of time.
And it seems like that in a lot of them right now.
You have like a week or so of good just, you know, paying attention.
You're going to have some poppers.
Obviously, every day we have poppers.
But the majority of the market is just trying to get set back up.
And it does look like it's going to get really bullish
Everything's basically in a bullish trend and looks pretty good
So that's what it looks like coming towards the end of summer. Can you believe Labor Day is gonna be Monday already? How crazy is that?
Yeah, we're pretty much running into it
Yeah, it's a summer went by super fast as usual but yeah i think the next three
months are going to be really good i think we might have a little bit of this end of summer
pull back here nothing crazy and then the markets are going to get really hot and almost into these
bubble territories as they're almost hitting right now they just can't be stopped and if they cut
them rates down in september we already know the market's going to get ripping.
I mean, it was popping up Friday with just people thinking about it.
And I was looking at the poly market and going through it.
And today, it's obviously what?
The 25% decrease is pulling back a little bit.
They're not going to cross over.
They're just pulling back because they were topping out. What are at with the odds now they're like 85 no oh what's it say
right here let me see i don't even see where it says i just see the uh what's it at it's at what
75 right now 75 for a uh decrease and uh or yeah that's what I said. 75%, 20% no change.
And yeah, it's going to pull back a little bit.
Well, I tell you, if there's no change, that'll be a disappointment.
You'll see IWM sell off at the next FOMC if Cal pulls off for another meeting.
Yeah, no, I can't even imagine him making a rate change in this and uh pulling it
back that 0.25 so i i think just looking at the poly market too like i said i think you're going
to have a good opportunity on it because it's about to pull back a little bit but i think
they're not going to be crossing through at no point and they'll bounce back up and you'll see
that rate change is at least what it looks like at this moment looking at these things i do love poly markets charts they are a lot of fun they do tell you
a lot of stuff going on i mean i used them for the election it was pretty dead on it was pretty
it was wild how dead on it was so uh yeah i i enjoy looking at them and like i said it does
look like we're gonna have that rate change and you know the news will flip around during the next
month or so or three weeks uh you know it'll's going to change. It's not going to change.
It is going to change. And you're constantly going to have them up and downs. And that's how
the market will get set up. And then you'll see that rate change and things will explode.
That's what the administration has been waiting for the entire time is to have this rate change
and the rates lower. So just imagine they've made them run
all the way to these all-time highs imagine when the rates get cut down what what they can do at
that point so i think it's going to get exciting guys and crypto's obviously been setting up running
up a little bit of pullback here i'm not even sure like i said what was going on with that
whole thing looking at the heat map on it it's kind of red but it's not looking terrible
i mean it was a pretty good sell-off there but holding up and it's probably people just trying
to get good opportunities selling it up and at the top right there and then pulling it back down
to grab some more before it runs up you do see these dip and rips a lot and we're seeing them
a lot right now so it's getting back into a normal market condition too so that's pretty
pretty fun it wasn't normal for a few there for for a few years there so now we're seeing some
normal market action where macds actually crossed through and then the stock runs that had stopped
there for a few years the rsis had meant nothing and it was just a crazy uh market altogether now it's just ripping
and ripping and ripping and i don't see it really stopping too much so you'll get your pullbacks for
your opportunities but take advantage of them because i think the next few years could be
pretty wild right here and i think a lot of people are starting to see that as well i mean this market
doesn't want to stop and we have a lot of rolodex in his back pocket
a lot of things to uh pull out we still don't even have a china trade deal yet guys so wait
until that one happens and uh that'll make things really rip and he just uses the uh talks to make
the market rip oh yeah we're talking to china about the trade deal and the market jumps up for
like three days so just imagine when that goes down. As you've been talking, apparently Trump's been making comments about China.
Some crazy comments.
What did he say?
All right.
Well, here, let's see.
He said, Trump, he says, I could destroy China, but I won't do it.
He threatens to impose 200% tariffs or something on China
if they do not provide the U.S. with magnets.
And I
think there was also something about that he
was invited to China
as well,
which I can't find right now, but I saw
that go across.
So, yeah, he said, you know what,
as I'm thinking about it, Dougie,
maybe he'll like, he's thinking about NVIDIA, and I was like, what if NVIDIA is not great?
Let me bash China now so I can have something in my pocket,
and then I'll play nice with China after that to bring the market up.
So, yeah, you know, you've been on top of that all year.
He's been doing well bringing the market up.
But, Wolf, I had one stock I wanted to bring to your attention and get your take on it.
It's a little larger cap, a $5 billion market cap.
Abercrombie & Finch, A&F.
They report Thursday or Wednesday, later this week.
And this stock in the past has been a huge ripper on earnings.
And look at the charts.
Crazy.
And I participated in some of that.
So I'm looking forward to maybe doing that again.
It's right up against the 200-day MA.
They had a little bit of news with the NFL this morning.
And I initially played this, but then the air news came out.
I'm like, hey, I don't need this.
Let me play with air.
But it looks like an easy layup to 103.
The call options are super expensive.
And I'm like, I didn't bother because it's like a 3% move on the common.
Not really my thing.
And, again, the call options are ridiculously expensive.
Maybe they're expensive for a reason.
Have you been hearing any chatter on A&F?
Or is lightning going to strike twice
on this again because the valuation seems pretty compelling and if you get above the 200 dma this
thing could explode this one's really interesting i was following it very closely on that full
run-up that it had back in 24 and i mean really through you i guess the latter portion of 23
it went absolutely crazy right
it went from 21 a share to 200 a share and I knew eventually that this was going to have to come back
down and it had such an interesting come down because it held up for a while up there it
basically sat up there for May of 24 to January of 25 so almost a year and then it just started to
fall off that cliff in Januaryuary and then you had that
weird earnings report right back on may 28th where you had your largest single volume day and
maybe ever for the stock and it popped all the way up to 105 from 77 and then sold off the entire
move um so that was pretty crazy and i agree with you yeah it's cool to see it now coming back to
the 200 asma so we definitely know that this one can run that it can rip i haven't been looking at
the recent news necessarily on it which seems like that's going to be one of the catalysts that
ultimately would be able to push it forward right now just kind of looking at some of the fundamentals
it does seem like a pretty a pretty solid uh mover from here just because of the profitability that
the company continues to
have there it's a really profitable company um you know the gross margins are great the even margins
are great the net income margins are great like just across the board especially compared to its
sector so having strong profitability market like this i think goes a long way it gets wall street
to want to buy you it gets analysts want to buy you um at this point the valuation's not bad in, in my opinion, as well. You pointed that out. Hey, it's not a small cap, but it hasn't
grown that strong. So big earnings report coming up again. So I think that if you have a directional
bias and lean and you have data and analysis to back it up, earnings is when this stock clearly
makes its moves. I mean, just biggest volume days by far, massive, massive moves on earnings consistently.
So yeah, this could be the point where, hey, we smashed through that 200 SMA. And I like that it
tested the 200 SMA back on August 7th. You can see we came right up to it and rejected off it.
The last time that this broke through the 200 SMA back to the upside, well, it kind of traversed
through it a little bit. You know back in 2024 a few times
breaking through but you go back to 2023 in the beginning there when we came back through this to
the upside or really the end of 2022 and it's every time it seems like it has a pretty explosive move
when it moves through that 200 sma so maybe maybe the move is kind of watching this very closely as
we get into after hours if you're trading it looking for the break of the 200 SMA, if it actually breaks it,
taking the position there.
But you could just completely miss it, potentially, if it just rallies through it.
For me, it's a little scary, right?
Because you just don't know this thing on earnings, which way it can go.
And it's such a big mover.
And I'm sure that the implied move here is pretty large.
But it is
enticing because i do know that i creep to the upside i like the profitability i like the
underlying fundamentals here yeah yeah absolutely it's so tempting i like i said i looked at the
options but i mean is this something that you would do you typically make uh options bets on
er's do you ever do that no no honestly the way that i've
been playing er's lately if i'm going to trade them is with the um the double leveraged etfs
that's the way that i've been going about it and i don't think there is a double leveraged etf
on ibercrombie and fitch but like example like you know nvidia is going to go and have their
earnings right in a day or two well i can go and i can play with like nvdl right 2x long and i can basically
sell that in after hours if there's like a big pop of five ten percent then just sell that um but i
can't really do that with options so i've been moving away from playing er's with them how about
you um rarely rarely i do it uh you know I found a lot more success reacting rather than predicting, especially if you know what you're looking for. You know exactly what metrics you think will impress the street or what catalyst. Like with AI this morning, I knew what catalyst I was looking for, a continuation of more AI contracts. So, yeah, generally speaking, I make most of my money reacting quickly
rather than making bets ahead of time.
But once in a while, once in a while I do it.
It's pretty tempting.
That chart looks pretty interesting up against the 200 DMA.
Doug, you got any thoughts?
Is there anything you can see in the chart?
I know technical traders like to believe that
everything's in the chart,
and the earnings are already in the chart.
Can you predict what's going to happen after earnings here, Dougie?
I hate earnings calls, guys.
I'm absolutely the worst at the charts.
I play right around them.
It's easy to play around them.
You're hitting some resistance right here at that 100.
If it can get over here, you can get back up to that
105 like you guys were talking about and obviously if they're really good and they jump up but it
just looks like it's kind of stalling out it doesn't look like it necessarily wants to go
through the macd i would be very skeptical if it was me again i'm not a very big earnings person
but it does look like it could be a i mean it, and I could see why you're like tempted for it.
Cause the twenties, the 20 wants to cruise it up.
It has some lines where it can just pop right off of, but at the same time it could bounce
right off that MACD and come cross, uh, come down as well.
So I don't know.
It looks like a coin flipper to me and kind of just scary.
I don't, I, again, a coin flipper to me and kind of just scary.
Again, earnings are just like the hardest thing, I think.
I don't know how people even play earnings.
I always say that. I have the most difficult time.
And on the opposite, I kind of predict.
That's where I do most of my make my money is predicting ahead of time.
Obviously, I'm usually three weeks ahead of the trends and the curves with the charts.
And earnings just never tell me anything. Fridays don't with the charts and earnings just never tell me anything.
Fridays don't tell me anything and earnings don't tell me anything.
I can hardly tell going over the weekend what it wants to do the next week anymore.
It's just the hardest thing.
It's like they leave it flat every single Friday just so you have no idea.
You're better off just flipping a coin and figuring it out that way i feel like you know what i was thinking about it uh wolf um and the reason i might consider
call options this time is because look what happened the last earnings call as you said
it had a huge gap up and it faded the entire time so i'm a little bit like i don't know how it's
gonna react like it could have great earnings or what looks like great earnings and maybe do the
same thing i don't know so if i'm going to. It could have great earnings or what looks like great earnings and maybe do the same thing. I don't know.
So if I'm going to jump into a big position of common shares
after what looks like a good earnings report and it fades on me,
I could risk losing a lot of money doing it that way.
So that's why I'm thinking maybe the way to play this is a small options bet.
Either you lose everything or it gaps and runs and you make the killing.
I don't know.
But you've got to find the right contract.
They're pretty expensive.
Yeah, when you said the contracts are expensive,
that's what definitely I was like.
I don't know if I'd be playing with it.
Something's going on there for them to be really expensive
because it's only at $100.
So something funky is going on.
Maybe it is going to pop through the moon.
But again, that's a coin flip to me.
So we could go to a casino and do red or black, I feel like, at the same time for this one.
So I would be playing with it.
Again, I mean, a small option call.
But if they're really expensive contracts, then it's probably not worth it.
But if they were cheap because it's $100, yeah, I would throw one in there
and see if it runs up.
Like you guys were saying, it tends to make its biggest moves on earnings.
So it would be an all-or-nothing kind of play right there.
And options aren't generally as expensive.
But like you were saying, it has like a premium.
So I'm not sure what's going on with that.
So I would stay away from it. That's what I say
Look at this air non-stop man. I left 35 grand on the table
If I just if I just took another Percocet went to sleep after I made my purchase
Wake up right now. I would have been up another 3535,000. That's crazy, this air. Anyway, back to you, Wolf.
I like that you laugh about it, though, Ben, because I do the exact same thing too often, to be honest with you.
And if you don't learn to laugh about that, it will eat you alive and just destroy you how you can trade the next day.
I can't complain.
This single trade has me up 4% on my account today, which I'll take.
Anyway, Wolf wolf back to you
yeah i think it's a lot of good thoughts um i don't have too much more to go over here today
i can appreciate as well the looking at looking at stocks having run at least you still have
exposure in the long term so i'd say that that is the uh the piece to be happy about
um the market's kind of calmed down here for a little bit over the last hour as we've been talking.
But right now, you know, QQQ still in green on the day.
Back to green from being down about half a percent earlier today.
Pretty much at all-time highs.
You know, all-time highs right now.
We're at 572.
They're 573.5.
Right around there.
Maybe a little bit higher than that.
But not too far off from
where they were. Let me see. 583. Apologies for about 10 buckaroos off from all time highs right
now. I think it continues to look interesting. There's definitely a lot of opportunity in some
of the small cap space. Maybe any others that I am looking at. I'm trying to see if there's
anything specific. You know, we had them on a space not too long ago.
CIN, CAN, that might just be in some of my sympathy plays,
like Dougie was talking about in regards to Bitcoin,
if some of those go.
Just some of the miners that haven't necessarily run yet
or companies that are related to mining.
So CIN is one that I'm looking at there.
But there's not too much else for me
that I'm going to keep my eyes on. I will say a lot of crypto has been selling a bit as we've
been talking here right now. Some of the altcoins and stuff like that seems like Bitcoin, Ethereum
hold up okay. But a lot of the rest of those names continuing to take a little bit of a beating.
One other name that's kind of small that I got into recently is MENS. M-E-N-S.
Not sure if you guys have seen this one. Ben, have you looked at MENS at all?
I've never heard of it. I'm pulling it up.
Yeah. So what's it called? They are basically focused on treatment of urinary system diseases.
And I basically IPO'd back in June and they're up 500% since that IPO. And it's just been consolidating here since the
last two weeks, basically just kind of took a little bit of a move here across the board.
I think that they had earnings at one point during that time period. And so I'm looking
at this one to see if they're going to continue this kind of explosive move to the upside. So
I have a small position in men's as well.
So that's kind of my sub, you know,
five billion name that I'll bring to the table today.
But yeah, we can enter any final comments here.
Nice job to you guys filling the hour,
even without some of the other folks
that we typically have on.
Ben, any other comments that you want to share on that one?
Yeah, just want to know,
MobiliCom, MLB is up 13% to a new, is that an all-time high?
A new 52-week high.
We interviewed the CEO on this a few weeks ago, and as I understand, there's some Reddit
event going on today.
I don't know the details, but I saw some people on Discord talking about it.
So actually sold a little bit in my retirement account today.
I might sell a little bit more at up 14% right now.
So just wanted to bring that to your attention.
Yeah, smaller panel today because the Godfather now is on vacation.
Money Mark Gomes had a conflict.
So we will be back hopefully at full strength next week.
But next Monday is Labor Day, right?
So it's going to be Tuesday.
Tuesday at 12 or Tuesday at 1?
Sounds like we're going to do it off the back of the Tesla space.
So what time is that?
So it'll be at 1.
So the same time.
Okay, fine.
So it's the first day of the week.
So same idea, right?
First day of the trade week at 1 p.m.
So it'll be Tuesday next week.
Hopefully we'll have our full panel back.
But yeah, it's been great.
Very much looking forward to continued Alpha each and every single day here in our community,
our Discord, if you want to join us.
Just hit that bio at the top.
By the way, you guys have a link now that you're promoting that has the discords of all the folks that you work with?
Yeah, 100%.
Yeah, we've been dropping that in a lot of our wolf trading spaces.
Yes.
Okay, do you want to give them that link?
Yeah, let me see if I can find it.
It's not the one directly in our bio uh it does
get posted below that trading space most of the time but i don't i don't i should i should have
it just on hand but i need to actually get that usually we'll get it for you next time but feel
free to hit my bio hit dougie's bio and you can find your find your way over the discord and
that's air man all i had to do is just buy air go to sleep look at this this is insane up 42 all right that's my final comment nice dog dougie anything else that you want to
share in this one i was gonna say i couldn't figure out a good way to word this but uh i was
looking at the men's it sounded funny when you asked uh ben have you been checking out men's
and uh so i was looking at it i'm like how do you explain
this one without sounding strange but anyway m-e-n-s that one it's a taiwan biotech you're
right it just started out just started going up and it does look pretty good um it i'm watching
this for the next day obviously i'm being in the position i'm in i haven't watched this or known
about it but uh if you were in it early like you were wolf that's
a beauty and you might just have a little bit of pullback but this thing may also roll right off
the MACD and just keep going towards that 50 55 area real quick so I will keep an eye on it because
if it rolls off the MACD it's getting back into the top and you'll have a nice uh pop off of it
so M-E-N-S is men's and i don't even know how to say that name it's like
zhang biotech i don't even know guys it's a biotech in taiwan but yeah so there you go with
the m-e-n-s just thought i would uh share the chart with you and i just giggled when you asked
ben if you checked out men's so anyway there's my uh immature mind for you guys. And thanks a lot for everybody tuning in, obviously.
Check out Ben.
Glad Ben's feeling better this week, too, after his procedure.
