The conversation around 27:30 was meaningful to me ✌️🤟
I’m glad❤
Thank you alli and webby ❤
Thanks❤
Webbie needs to get a good internet connection
Tell me about it. Just switched to Starlink this week…but they had to move the router to the other side of the house. Just put a WiFi mesh system in today…I hope it helps❤
You guys keep me sane, but I am still nervous about this market due to the disproportionate distribution under the surface and the NDX being carried by mostly a handful of big names, so mostly narrow breadth. I want to believe what you are saying, I really do….ha! I sold on 4/6 before Trump agreed to an extension because I was sure he wasn’t bluffing any more, and I was the one that got bluffed…oh man! I would enter, but all my indicators I ignored on 4/5 and 4/6 are firing in the opposite direction now and the institutional distribution numbers I track are similar to the two weeks BEFORE the capitulation on 3/30, so massive divergence between that and NDX and VIX and the distribution I am seeing, so very, very confusing and I must admit I am paralyzed, so just day trading on the 9EMA…not good!
Wishing you the very best 🍀🍀❤️
@Webby5150 Thank you my brother!
@Webby5150 Climbing the wall of worry with my fingernails and toenails…ha!
Webby my favorite guest by a mile… the depth of knowledge and his generosity with it .. he doesn’t hold back to gatekeep and i notice that with many others.
I appreciate that❤❤❤❤
I bought a little bit of AAOI at $156 because it was forming a pennant. Thank you.
Thank you both for sharing all this knowledge. I’m a big fan of IBD and really love how well you communicate – educational and yet straightforward, even for a beginner like me. Webby, you rock! My daily dose of support! 😊
And I must say, the two of you in combo is the best and Webby kills it with the analytics! Don’t tell the others…ha!
