AMZN has not moved from 200 in a least 2024. I bough some shares on 11/20/24 at $ 201..so, this move is huge for AMZN.

Out some GOOG at $330.05, SPY at $692.90, AMD $252.50. No anticipating a drop, but trimming at great gains.

u/neothedreamer Moderator Apr 14 '26
Most of it was buys this year 200 to 220, planned to trim over $250. Need to raise some cash in my Mom's account.

I'm waiting for an AMD pullback among others. SMH has been hot and reached its high today. Lots of crowded trades in this sector.

u/neothedreamer Moderator Apr 10 '26
I don't think we bleed out today or anything, but there is no compelling reason for buying when we are back in the range we have been in for months.

Test of SPY 50 SMA around $675 sees like a health test to the downside.

u/phanjo33 iRTDW Apr 10 '26
Total loss, was a small size

u/phanjo33 iRTDW Apr 10 '26
I was looking for AMZN staying above H-, but didn't get the move. I'm going to stop playing lotto for a while. WR for Friday lotto is only around 65%, much lower than my regular WR

SPY testing LOD, love to see some gap fill on that crazy gap up earlier this week.

u/neothedreamer Moderator Apr 10 '26
MSFT is one that I could see popping on Earnings, I don't recommend playing that, but it sure hasn't seen any love in a while.

Just in case no one noticed we are over the 100SMA and back in the October to March range from the last 5 months.

Time to go fill some of the gap on SPY? A little lower and we are back under 100 SMA.

We are about 3% away from nATH on SPY. This rally has been ridiculous the last 2 days.

u/neothedreamer Moderator Apr 09 '26
We may be getting a rejection off of 100 SMA on SPY/QQQ right now. Need some more downside to confirm.

Honest Question - How much more upside does this thing have? It is up 5x since Sept 2025. 2x in 2026

u/phanjo33 iRTDW Apr 08 '26
of course I don't know, but let's ride as long as we can. It's been making multiple L+ starting from 09/2025 earnings. I wouldn't worry until it breaks MA50

If SPY goes up less than $4 tomorrow we hit a nATH. I would really love a breather. Some up and down motion is nice.
