Catching SMCI At $31 (not a typo)

[] Anatomy of a Great Trade [View in browser]( [View in browser]( [] FEB 23, 2024 [] [] [] [] SCOTT WELSH’S ANATOMY OF A GREAT TRADE Anatomy of a Great Trade: SMCI There are two huge factors in catching a massive breakout winner. The first is finding the stock. That’s a big topic for another time. But let’s assume that we’re tech-aware traders and that Super Micro Computer Inc. (SMCI) was on our radar. At that point we need the second factor: a systematic way to trade. Back in 2013, SMCI made a big move. On a monthly chart, it closed above the 12-month simple moving average (SMA) twice in a row. That’s our entry. Then it went from $13 to $28. We finally exited on a close below the SMA. See that here on the left side of the chart: [] Remember, once a stock makes a 100% move, it’s likely to do it again. Except SMCI didn’t do it again. Not for a long, long time. From 2016-2021, it didn’t go anywhere. But if we didn’t give up, there was yet another signal in January of 2021. It would’ve entered us at $31.80: [] How did that trade turn out? [] Holy moly. SMCI is now at $894 and we hypothetically would still be in (because it never closed below the SMA). The monster trades are out there. As long as we don’t give up and trade them according to our system. Happy trading, Scott P.S. As a reminder, these historical lookbacks are based on my longer-term Weinstein Stage Analysis method. The charts above use monthly candles and a 12 month simple moving average. For details on this method, see my explanation on [this Ask The Pros episode]( starting at timestamp 20:45. Additionally, the teal lines on the chart show the profitable runs. [] [] Unlock the 8-Day Trading Secret!

[Get ready for the next big surge!]( [] [] PROSPERITY PUB RETRO REWIND Market Deja Vu: NVDA Looks A Lot Like CSCO Jeffry Turnmire has been having a lot of nostalgia lately. But he’s not bringing back bell bottoms or disco balls The nostalgia he's been having is related to Nvidia's (NVDA) meteoric rise over the past year. He's seen this show before — and it doesn't end well. Just yesterday, NVDA added the value of a whole Netflix (NFLX) to its market cap. But don’t cheer — as we said, he's seen this train wreck play out before. Specifically, he's been recalling a similarly meteoric rise by Cisco (CSCO) in the late 90s and early 2000s. The stock hit a high of $82, which nowadays sounds like nothing. But it was briefly the biggest company in the world. (and we do mean BRIEFLY) Think back to that time. Internet mania was at a peak. The DotCom bust hadn't hit yet. Just like AI, everyone knew the internet was going to be big. But just like with the current AI mania, everyone seemed to think that the internet could only run on Cisco. And as long as everyone believed that "truth", the stock kept going up. Until it didn't. Take a look at a chart: [] Cisco fell as fast as it rose — faster, actually… And although it’s been almost 25 years, it’s never even come close to approaching its peak. The lesson? There are several: • There are very few companies that have an actual “moat” around their business. • For a while everyone thought Cisco was special, then the competitors came. • The competitors that ultimately are Cisco’s lunch were small, little-known companies. • As Jeffry always says: “The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.” Best not to try to short this one. At least not yet. And probably most importantly: • It's easy to feel like you're missing out, but there are plenty of other trades out there that don't require you to buy into an increasingly obvious bubble. When this one pops, it could take decades to come back.
