The Week Ahead : February 24th- 28th 2025

The Week Ahead

I’m back. After a work hiatus I am easing myself into the regular newsletter again. I won’t be trading quite full time for a few weeks but I should be able to maintain the newsletter and my own connection with the market. Thanks for all the kind messages from those who were wondering if I fell off a cliff!

Big earnings this week. Some notable ‘‘hot names’’ HIMS, TEM, IONQ, RKLB, SOUN, ACHR. A couple like HIMS are at big sentiment moments. This can cause very outsized moves especially in these story names.

We also have the quality in NVDA, SNOW, AXON, DELL. These will be all about the guide numbers and KPIs. I am also keeping an eye on some previous top picks that haven’t moved since last earnings URBN, HNST, FUBO as well as ESTC.

There are FED speakers this week but I’m not concerning myself with that. We have some EU & US Economic Data on Friday that’s worth noting.

Big weeks like this can be overwhelming. Don’t over complicate it. Usually it pays to look at the obvious choice and not try to be too smart.

_{PS: There are many ways to trade stocks in play. It does not have to be the one that keeps going straight up and sometimes it doesn’t even have to be day one of the catalyst. Everyone must find a setup, timeframe and method that works for them. This list is supposed to educate on the criteria I use and the methods in which I find Stocks in Play. Yours may differ and that is completely okay.}
