Honorable Mention to: NVDA - Jensen Huang will deliver a Keynote at Nvidia GTC at 1pm EST today. We may see some movement in the stock during this or affiliated names.. GOOGL - Google are closing in on the Buyout of Cyber Security firm WIZ for $32b. This was a deal that fell apart a while ago and has now been refreshed. Normally buyouts cause the buyer to drop in price but I think this will be welcomed as M&A has been next to impossible for the Megacaps in the last Administration. I think the stock could move positively on it today.

Market Awareness

I see very little to stand out this morning. I am looking at Technical Plays on my Top Picks List. TSLA for a possible Bounce, NVDA post Jensen Huang Keynote & Google for possible bullish move. But really these are not stand outs. I will be patient and wait for a technical point on select names where I can take some money from the market. Patience is key. We have FED Decision tomorrow. Don’t get chopped up in this market.
