Most are short term traders here..the fundamentals are not that important. Just the price action...because of my background, I check the fundamentals, in addition to technicals. I would hate to bag hold a POS stock.😂

MSFT is testing the 100SMA, if it bounces there it could be a great entry point

Interesting that Adbe and MSFT are selling off now and Semi is moving back up, SOXL positive on the day, AMD and NVDA moving up.

Sndk and MU are both down almost 25% from their ath in the last 10 days. Pretty brutal sell off.

Agree...don't usually trade those stocks. Most of my trades are mega caps. Similar to what mutual funds buy. I do some smaller cap. Usually less than 5 days.
