You, us, and our coffee against the world

Hey everybody, How’s your Wednesday morning? We hope it’s off to a great start! Last night, Rob had an incredible event with the Fresh Start Summit! Hope you were able to make it! After going sideways most of the day, the three major indices closed slightly down yesterday.  Microsoft blew their earnings report out of the water yesterday, beating expectations all around. MSFT stock was up 5% shortly after the report was released in after-market trading. More big tech companies will release earnings this week, they can only hope to have numbers as good as what we saw yesterday afternoon. Bad News for Summer Vacationers If you were hoping to work on your tan somewhere tropical this summer, you may find yourself out of luck. European leaders are warning against summer travel, with rising cases of the new variant of coronavirus running rampant across the continent. Some are even going as far as to warn against travel within the EU itself. While it’s not ideal for those with a travel bug, it’s definitely bad news for the [already struggling airline industry.](  Can you hear me now? If you’re trading with Robinhood or Charles Schwab, you might have experienced some outages yesterday, and you’re not alone. Not only did the two retail trading platforms have issues during market hours, but a widespread internet outage affected thousands on the East coast as well. Downdetector.com reported outages at Comcast, Roblox, Verizon, and Slack. William O’Neil and his company, IBD (Investors Business Daily) started with an idea. What elements make up the biggest stock winners in history? In O’Neil’s [books]( he talks about everything he’s found. It’s a lot. It’s current earnings and annual earnings and new products and institutional buying and other things. That’s just to find a possible stock. Then he found the "perfect" chart pattern that triggered all the winners. It’s not super easy. It needs to drop a certain amount over a certain amount of time and rise and retrace a certain amount again and then enter within a certain window. Practicing all that could make perfect. Or we could simply not worry about being perfect. What if we looked for stocks that have risen quite a bit and then fallen back a little bit? A stock fitting that imperfect description was FCEL, and it was a Profit Accelerator recommendation on December 30th. FCEL had risen a lot into late November, retraced, and risen again in December. Then, off of a small pull-back, the trade was recommended. A call option would have risen at least 100% from that point (the track record recorded a 106% win). Was the trade perfect according to the guidelines of Big Winners? No. Was the spirit of a perfect setup honored? Yes. And it turned out to be a nice trade. Sometimes done is better than perfect.
