GM everyone, happy Monday 🙂 |
| SCOTT, JUSTIN, HATMAN – Great Short Strategies seminar on Saturday! |
Thanks a lot Kenneth |

Just on vacation! |
| Scott, how many screens do you have in front of you? |
6 |
| What do you think of CRWD? |
acting like a potential leader |
| good morning, how successful are double bottom bases? |
Scott’s favorite base type |
| sign in problems…..tickers pls |
GGAL from Scott and CPRT from Justin |
| Good morning all. Ali how are you handling QLD |
I bought 5% position QQQ and 5% position SPY Friday. Didn’t go w/ leverage due to how volatile the market has been. But today likely will be adding more exposure if this strength can hold — individual names on my radar include PLTR, LTH, SPOT, DASH, NFLX |
| PLTR, Ali? |
Watching very, very closely |
| what are the tickers, late to show. thanks |
GGAL and CPRT |
| gold and the 10 year pulling in – mark them – they will be keys |
Definitely – and the dollar. |
| Chris – any new thoughts on TGTX? |
I got out on Wednesday. But just opened another small position. |
| Scott – any position in BABA? |
no unfortunately, the whole China delisting talk has me on sidelines |
| Hitting resistance |
GM James; it will be interesting to see if Russell, S&P 500 gain in stride w Nasdaq today and this week amid the shifting news. |
| added to PLTR |
GM Phil |
| Happy Monday! |
Happy Monday, GM (Good Morning) Jose! |
| i got so many alerts going off: LOAR, CRWD, ADMA, AXON, LRN, LTH, WGS |
GM Boomer |
| HATMAN and KEN were talking about how impressive the Chicago Cubs looked over the weekend :). |
We had the Short Selling Webinar and the Masters over the weekend, so now time to catch up w/ MLB news! GM Peter! |
| I could not find the Friday video on your website, was that posted? |
Here you go! in the Stock Market Today playlist at investors.com/videos |
| Scott, I have a 150 week line on my charts that I attribute to you (rightly or wrongly). AAPL shot back above that last week. |
I think I got that from Stan Weinstein |
| What stocks are in your watchlist? |
I’m sure many of the panelists are, besides using a variety of screens, are looking at solid candidates across all of IBD’s lists. Also, pls be sure to check the IBD Live Recap, on the show’s landing page. Click on the link and it shows the Q&A summary and the daily revised Watch and Ready stocks. Usually Mike handles these each day. https://www.investors.com/stock-lists/stocks-to-watch-top-rated-ipos-big-caps-and-growth-stocks/ and https://www.investors.com/research/ibd-live-qa/ibd-live-qa-tickerstodayincludednflxnflxmstrmstrpltrpltralhcalhccccccccccc-stock-lists-for-friday-april-11-2025/ |
| QQQ – draw a DT line – we gapped up to it this AM and are pulling in – an interesting watch |
100%. GM Frank. Right now, key test of resistance at the 21-day EMA. |
| Scott – what was the news in Argentina? |
I could not find any, the stocks are roaring this AM, must have been something |
| Thought on SFM |
Looking good – above short-term high and now decisively above 50-day line. It’s actionable, but the market environment is risky. |
| Ali = I did check under investors.com/videos. Friday video with Mike is missing |
We’ll bump up the placement, but for now you just need to scroll down the page to the playlist for that show. |
| Folks, you’re discussing PLTR. When looking at a strong stock (like PLTR), how does the stock’s industry strength (PLTR’s is 37) play into your purchase decision? |
Not a make or break factor but I do take into consideration |
| South American country sealed a $20 billion, 48-month Extended Fund Facility deal with the International Monetary Fund last week |
Thanks |
| Scott, what would cause you to add? At what price point? |
as long as it “holds” the fact you have big move and a chance for sellers to come in. If they do not then they have voted that they wat higher prices |
| What is the percentage of a full position? |
For me in a strong market I will go as big as 20%. Usually somewhere between 10% and 20%, |
| Scott did you say you buy on Friday: & sell on Mondays? If so, for each, what part of the day? |
end of day Friday (last 2 hours is the sweet spot) and usually on the open Monday I close or reduce |
| Scott, YPF and BMA are up as well with GGAL. |
yes, YPF strong weekly bar last week |
| Scott – I noticed BBA also was increased by Druckenmiller |
BBA ticker? |
| Scott is the hummingbird short seller which is a great strategy. |
🙂 |
| Would MELI be a shake out +3 candidate? |
I’m not an expert in that pattern. Another option would be a move above today’s high, which would line up with a downtrend in the double-bottom base. |
| Thoughts on YPF here? |

| it is “I C I C I” indeed not ITchitchi…- Ali you made my day 🙂 |
LOL I tried |
| What do you think of PLTR given contract news |
We reviewed earlier. We’re watching. |
| MRCY? |

| Any China stocks? |
live answered |
| Thx Scott!! Checking understanding to your insightful strategy!!! So you expect Mon will bounce because hedge funds voted late on Friday, & you want to ring cash register b4 volatility reverses the gains? |
For me yes |
| Scott, was there news on MP as up 17% today and are you looking at UEC again at all. |
Yes, news |
| Any thoughts on LTH? Early entry, double bottom break? |

| LOAR – you added to watch list – when did you add to Leaderboard and what price? |
Watchlist |
| TJX (@ ATH) |
live answered |
| What’s the reason PLTR not showing double bottom on pattern recognition? |
The depth of the base most likely |
| AVA, SSRM? Scott, What do you think of SSRM? |
group is so strong, I feel like I missed it 🙂 |
| Is the stage analysis tied to the Stan Weinstein stages? |
yes, in that same vein |
| “Hello, TGTX? Thanks” |
I got back into it with a small position as retook the 50-day and 21-day. |
| Scott “needs somebody to love” SE…. ha! |
🙂 |
| Were is Webby today. Hopefully he is doing okay? |
Yes he is good! |
| Thoughts on ADMA? Breaking handle downtrend? |
live answered |
| Hi, how about ADMA? |
live answered |
| And then Scott sells GGAL later this morning… LOL |
I haven’t yet but it would not be the first time I have done something like that (Hand face palm emoji) |
| TGTX |
live answered |
| Could you review LRN? |
live answered |
| TGTX |

| UNH |
Pulling back after powerful move. Nice if it could pause for a bit, but earnings are due early Thu. |
| Good point, Justin — Earning’s Guidance!! Could be a volatile earnings season in which some will be rewarded and others PUNISHED!! |
That’s always the case, but perhaps esp. this time. Q1 seems like a different world for business/economy vs. now. So guidance/commentary criticial. |
| Ed your thoughts of SOFI – much appreciated |
Still in a downtrend, below key moving averages. Needs to bet above the 200-day and 50-day lines before I get interested. The fundamentals seem solid though. |
| What has to happen to make today a break through day? |
Need to have a 1%+ move on one or more of the major indexes *and* higher volume vs. the prior day. For the Dow/S&P 500, that means higher NYSE volume. For the Nasdaq, we use Nasdaq volume. |
| what was the link he said ibd live faq |
investors.com/ibdliveFAQ |
| The IBD home page online shows vol on Nas running down 3.14%. But the Marketsurge chart on Nas shows volume running ahead 156%. Can you explain the discrepancy, and better yet–which one do we use when looking for a FTD?? tia. |
IBD HP is vs. prior day while MS is vs. 50-day MA from what I understand. So use IBD HP. |
| Hi everyone. Long time CAN SLIM studier follower and IBD YouTube watcher, finally made it to IBD Live today! It’s great to see all of you in your element. |
Thanks for joining us! |
| What do the colors on the chart signify? |
red is low rank, green is high rank |
| what is the URL for Justin’s excel spreadsheet? |
investors.com/LiveFAQ in the weekly industry analysis section |
| I don’t think the super stores and retail will hold up, safety trade |
Very much depends on how “risk on” the market is. |
| RBRK |
Fairly deep double-bottom base. Still some distance from the 50-day line. |
| Comments on MP – Up 22% and I don’t see any news |
https://www.investors.com/news/trump-critical-metals-stockpile-order-mp-materials-stock-soars/ |
| I agree Ed, all the risk on stocks are moving big today |
21-day line and last Wednesday’s peaks are short-term resistance … then April 2 levels and then 50-day/200-day lines. So, we’ve got to be nimble. |
| VRT good sponsorship. Early entry? |
Below a lot of key levels and earnings next week. Also number of funds starting to fall – with IBD mutual funds paring stakes generally. |
| Ali – I have bad case of FOMA – PLTR breaking through its downtrend resistance line – Is it actionable? |
It’s actionable above a trendline. But if the market goes south this will likely fall sharply. Gotta be nimble in this market. |
| Scott, how do you look at/price-in overhead…such as with GGAL? |
Great Q. Here’s an Investor’s Corner on the general topic. Cheers, Hatman — https://www.investors.com/how-to-invest/investors-corner/stock-chart-reading-overhead-supply/ |

Cheers Brian! See you Tue |
| @scott, what is the other indian bank you were referring to? |
In the US markets, IBN and HDB are the main lenders to focus. |
| Scott, good point with the market. VIX is sill at 31… |
Thanks, yes, it is tough to tell here |
| Not a bull market when the nh-nl on the nyse is -209 |
Very good point. That’s one of those things that just suggests more recovery time needed. |
| LOL he remembered lol it was META, Scott has done it so many times its kind of like how I operate that’s Why I laugh, Its me laughing at myself |
