This Stock Went Up 885% in 15 Minutes... transcript

What's up, everyone? All right, in today's episode, I'm going to break down my trades from the morning. Today, we've got a few stocks that put in some big moves, including AEMD, which squeezed up over 800% in less than 15 minutes this morning. Let's jump onto the screen, share, and start breaking it down. Here's the ticker. They put out a headline about a business combination, a merger, and the stock immediately started surging up, which is not totally uncommon.

It pops from about a $1.40 up to a high of $3. Pulls back a little bit, curls back up through 324 and it breaks through in a bit of a cup and handle formation for the squeeze up towards $4 a share. Then it breaks $4 and has a wick all the way up to 14 bucks. That is insane. I don't know if any of you guys were in this down here for the break of 3503 or maybe four and had some shares during that spike, but that is incredible.

A 10point candle in one minute. But as and we've seen a few of these this year, probably maybe like a dozen of these kind of candles this year where it just goes up, you know, five or 10 points in in one minute. Uh but then they usually drop back down. However, off that drop, they usually bounce and curl back up, which is exactly what this one did, back up to $10 a share. Then it pulls back and kind of stair steps down.

And I was wondering if we would get another trade on it at the open for another curl. But you can see it's just kind of gone sideways. So, it's not completely rolling over. It's still up as of right now 391% but it's not continuing to give us good opportunities. So I did get a couple trades on this one in my Roth IRA and I'm locking up 13,000 in profit on it plus 11,000 on TURB a little profit on WTO uh WTO and then a loss on Va and we'll go through all of these trades here.

So, AEMD, yes, we got some nice action on it, but it wasn't the easiest to manage risk. So, the issue was, of course, we had had this huge move, and I just wasn't sure how many traders would be willing to buy something already up 400%. Right? It's just already such a huge gain. So, as I was sitting down at 7 a.m., we got this rally right here. It sells off, dips down, and then we get a little inverted head and shoulders pattern right there.

And that gave me a little opportunity. Then we pulled back and we got another inverted head and shoulders pattern right here which was another opportunity. So these are the spots I was kind of interested in watching dips like this and then the first pullback as it starts to move a little bit higher rather than trying to buy up at the top of a breakout where it starts to get a little extended and a little heavy. So AEMD, you know, basically amazing at the very beginning and then became fairly choppy as the day went on.

And that was true with a number of stocks. TURB, this one pops up and on the daily chart, you know, there wasn't too much to look at. The 200 moving average at $164. And so as it started to squeeze up this morning, initially we pop up, we pull back, we come back up, we pull back, we pop up right here. And then as we start to squeeze, I jumped in thinking that we were going to break the uh 200 moving average and we broke it.

And look at this candle. Another one. This one get goes all the way to $4 a share. And I was in it for that candle, but I wasn't able to sell anything up that high cuz it popped up so quickly and then came right back down. And unlike AMD, it didn't really bounce and curl back up. It just kind of went sideways. So that one was a little discouraging that we didn't get that push higher. although I traded it and made some money on it.

Then we had Wetto, which I initially looked at and thought a history of big red candles. I don't know if this one's going to work. On the other hand, it put in a pretty big move. As you can see right here, first pullback right there pushes higher and then right down here, the next curl and then that was a huge rejection and a drop back down. So that wasn't so pretty. And then after that, it was kind of just sideways.

So that was then DTSS. This is another interesting one that popped up, pulls back, halts one, two times up, halts once and twice down, then once and twice back up, now another time back down. So a lot of halts on this one. Fairly difficult to manage risk. Va, this one has also had a few halts. Dropping down, popping back up. No halts in pre-market, but halting down once there at the open and then selling off quite a bit.

This one, I was observing the 200 moving average up around 1074 and I thought that was going to be a little bit of a problem. So, we had this pop here and then the last couple days, you know, sort of holding up, but I was not sure this was going to work and in fact it didn't. I did break the ice and I tried to trade on it and that trade that I took was at 850 right here. So I jumped in at 850 and then promptly stopped out at about 8.25 as it came back down which is a little bit of a bummer.

So red on Va W Turb AMD you know small winners but dispersed attention across the board. I was hoping we would have one obvious stock but we really didn't have that today. We did yesterday we did the day before but today not yet. And it's about 10:30. So this is by this time in the previous days we already had something that made a big move and it doesn't seem like it's going to happen today. D AIC popped up after hours continued pre-market and at the open but this stock has received a delisting notice from the exchange and they're currently appealing it.

If they lose their appeal the stock could get delisted to the OTC market and we don't know when the decision from the exchange is going to come through. So, I'm I'm afraid that if I trade this at any time, it could end up getting halted and then resuming on the OTC market, which would not be a good situation. So, this one um you know, interesting as it is, um no trades on that, did not feel like I could trust it. Uh so, that was DIC.

And then what else do we have? Uh obviously, RETO from the last couple days did an offering. So, big selloff there. you know, this huge rally yesterday all the way up to $18 and then unwinding, coming back down. Yesterday, we had meds. This one gave us a big rally, uh, you know, day two continuation, sold off and is now coming back down. Today, we just didn't have something, at least so far, that's given us that kind of move.

That move started, I guess, closer to 11. So, uh, maybe maybe something will still end up happening, a halt and then a dip and a rip. But uh you know this is the right price range where you could get5 $6 a share which is pretty impressive. And this morning AEMD well I don't think we're going to get a recovery on that one. It seems like it's just you know selling off. DTSS well it's going to be halting like crazy. Sort of hard to manage risk on DAIC already talked about it.

Um KXI N uh you know popping up a bit here but I don't know. I'm I'm not sure if this one's really going to work. I guess you never know. It It is a Chinese stock. You've got a double top right there. Uh maybe it could start to open up, but it just feels like the sentiment is a little bit softer today than it was in previous days. And then of course, tomorrow's Friday, so maybe, you know, this is this is the best that we get and we're not going to get much more.

But we live to trade another day. Sometimes it's just about survival, keeping your head above water. So this week and the last couple weeks in fact have been rather hit or miss. September has not been a very good month. I've been you know actually pretty discouraged here. Uh this is where I sat. Let's see. Um coming into this is for my Roth IRA. Uh coming into today. So you know several no trade days here. Uh several small days.

A lot of days where I was focusing on uh my small account challenge and whatever. But then I got one bigger red day here. So, one, two, and now three bigger green days. Uh, today technically is the biggest green day of the month for my Roth IRA, which is uh good, but this is not a particularly big green day for me. So, I'm I'm kind of disappointed that that's the the case. And the biggest day was a bigger red day than this what this green day is.

So, we've only got a week and a half left in the month of September, and it feels like it's not going very well. And even in spite of some of the big moves that we had this week, partly because of my own dispersed attention between, you know, the small account challenge and, you know, whatever, my Roth IRA is not done as well as I would have liked. So, well, but you know what? That's okay. Small account challenge crossed over $100,000 yesterday.

And realistically, you know, we still have a week and a half left for the month of September to try to salvage as much as I can. And then we'll start fresh in October. And hopefully, you know, the last quarter of the year, October, November, December are decent. And I'm able to finish the year on a high note. You know, we started the year really well. January was phenomenal. I mean, January was a fantastic month and then things uh cooled off a little bit.

So, in fact, let's see. We'll go Yeah, Roth IRA. So, we'll do month and year here. Um, so this is 2026. This is my uh profitability by month so far this year. So January was great, February and March cooled off. April was not great and then May, June and then July and August and now September is you know wo really the worst month of the year so far. Um but hey, one month has to be the worst month of the year that it's just the way it's going to go and one month's the best.

Right now June is the best, September's the worst. Um, and April's feeling relieved because April thought it was going to be the worst month of the year and April's thinking, I'm not that bad of a month. It's springtime. This is a good time of year. Well, good for you. September is uh now uh displaced you for worst month of the year. On the other hand, a uh a couple of good trades in the next week. I was up 92,000 in April.

So, you know, a couple good trades and uh well, I I might I might April's April's not out of the woods yet. Let's just say that. So, we'll see how September finishes. But, you know, at the end of the day, it's the big picture that matters. It's easy to get kind of um, you know, sort of in the weeds of feeling very very much focused on like that 30-day outlook where I haven't or even just a 7-day outlook where I haven't made as much in the last week as I'd like.

Um, all right. Well, take a step back. You know, big picture, how is the summer? Big picture, how is the year? Now, if big picture doesn't look good either, then that speaks to the issue of, well, you probably shouldn't be trading with real money. You should be in a simulator or you should be trading with really small size with real money until you can build a little bit of a stronger track record and regain some confidence.

I've had periods where, you know, I've had a strong stretch and then things kind of flatline for a little bit, dip down a little bit, and then we get another strong stretch. In fact, we were just looking at um let's see, we'll do I'm going to do a year to date. I I was looking at this during the um what are we doing here? Uh let me just refresh this. Uh when we were uh do when I was doing the episode yesterday on my small account challenge, I was talking about um 2017.

So we'll just do 2017 and we'll do to December whatever. It doesn't really matter. 17th is fine. So, oh, and I got to take away that tag. So, let's see. So, there we go. So let's look at this from uh detailed and we'll go to win loss expectation. So this was 2017. You know I had a good start to the year here and then it was kind of you know not a lot. I mean this was a this was like a four or five month window where I really didn't make that all that much and then things really opened up in the fall and then it was a little slow here and then it pushed again higher and we'll see let's go December 31st just to see how we finish the year.

So finished um finished really strong but you know had to kind of tolerate this period in the middle where it was slow and that's you know that was nearly 10 years ago but seasonally that was more common where we would be hot in the spring slow in the summer and then hot again in the fall. Uh so this year has been a little bit different from that but you know it's just the the cycles of hot and cold streaks and themes in the market that have had a pretty big uh impact there.

So anyways, um as we sit right now coming into well quarter of 11, I hope you guys get some more opportunities today, but uh I would also try to keep in mind that we're coming towards the end of the week and if you've had a decent week, there's nothing wrong with locking up some of that profit and sizing down so you can finish the week um you know safely in the green. Reminder, as always, trading is risky and my results are not typical and there's no guarantee you'll find success whether you trade with me or you learn on your own.

So, please manage your risk, and I'll see you guys back at it bright and early tomorrow morning at 7:00
