Five Stocks Are Up More Than 100% Today...

What's up everyone? Welcome to day 35 of my small account challenge of growing a $2,000 account. You know, today is an interesting day because I'm green in both my small account and my big account. And at my peak and in both accounts, I was up the exact same almost the exact same amount of money, which is funny because my big account has a balance of over $2 million. My small account this morning had a starting balance of about $70,000. And I think what that goes to show is that generally on a day-to-day basis, I don't need all that extra buying power to do quite well. There are a few instances throughout the year like the SpaceX IPO and potentially a stock that I feel really confident in and is a little more expensive where it's nice to have that extra buying power in my big account. And my belief is that I more than make up for the opportunity cost of keeping all that money in my main account versus having it invested in the market by the few times a year that I use the buying power. I'd rather have it and not use it than need it and not have it essentially. But today was a great example of really not needing it. And you know, if there was something I really wanted to do with that money, uh, well, this is a day that might prove that it would probably not be a bad idea just to take the money out, keep the account smaller. And yeah, I would miss out on a few opportunities a year, but I think there's something to be said for keeping your account on the smaller side. Yes, you will miss a few opportunities, but it also keeps you kind of rained in because as we've seen, I've had a few big swings in the big account. Up 70 80,000, down 70 80,000. You know, if the account was just more compressed and smaller, I wouldn't be having those swings. Well, you know, again, easy come, easy go. I I like the big green days and I do need the buying power in order to generate some of them. But today was a relatively small green day in my main account. Uh but a solid green day in the small account. So different standards there. Uh which is kind of interesting. Now um I'm excited because today I crossed over $460,000 of money raised for charity and we've now donated to 47 children's hospitals across the United States. So that means we have just three left to go. So I've donated $460,000 as of today, donating 5,000 to Duke Children's Hospital in North Carolina and $5,000 to a the Nebraska Children's Hospital in Nebraska. So let's go ahead and dive into the recap of today's trades. I'm going to combine the small account and the big account in this uh recap since I sort of was focusing on the same stocks on both. All right. So, day 35, leading gainer this morning was PFSA. Was at $10 a share earlier this morning. 6.4 million shares of volume already with a float of 605,000 shares. A very low float. So, how well did it meet my five pillars of stock selection? Number one, was it up more than 10% on the day? Absolutely. Up over 100%. Did it have five times relative volume? Yep, 2600 times relative volume. Did it have a news catalyst? No. price between two and 20. Yes. Float under 20 million shares. Yes. So, it met four out of the five pillars, which was fine, especially in this market where we're seeing, you know, clearly a lot of stocks are moving without news. Traders are excited to jump on things squeezing. And so, that's kind of the theme that we've had uh as of late. So, um, PFSA was our leading gainer and it started hitting our running up scanner right here, alerting at about 7:01 a.m. 970, 10:02, 10:03, 11, etc. And you could see these are four alerts in 5 seconds, three alerts in 5 seconds. So, you could press the down arrow to see all the additional alerts that come through right in that moment. So, I was aware that this had some offering risk. Although the float is displayed as being quite low, this was um a registration to sell up to 179 million shares on the open market, which is a lot of stock. So I was a little bit concerned about this. Um you know, but uh nonetheless, I I was willing to break the ice. And I was willing to break the ice because the chart was quite strong. So, as you see right here, um, earlier this morning, uh, this was actually after hours. We began the squeeze in the after hours session. So, we got a nice rally up and then that continued into the pre-market session. Now, I don't always love that continuation into pre-market. And one of the things I mentioned is that there's risk that at 7 a.m. traders who might have held it overnight will sell. Why wouldn't they sell sooner? Well, a lot of brokers don't allow you to trade between 4:00 a.m. and 7 a.m., which means it doesn't matter how high the stock goes up, go $500 a share, you cannot sell, which is a little scary that your broker just locks you out of the market, you know, from that period of time. But that is the case. So, you got a little padlock here. It can't trade it at all. Oops. Sorry. But that's better. Whatever. Doesn't matter. So, as it rallied up right here, I decided to jump in for the break of the VWAP. And if we zoom in to the 10-second chart, basically what happened was we popped up to 10, pulled back, popped up to 10, pulled back, popped up to 1015, 1020 as it started to pull away right there, I punched it in first entry at uh $1012, added at 1020, added at 1045 and a little at 1042, and then was taking profit as it squeezed through 11 out at an average of 11:08. Add, add, add ad. Four ads, one exit. Boom. Locked up in one trade. 3,000 12 $112.72. Not bad. Brings the account up to $73,000 of total equity. That was trade one. Trade two, SXTC at about $830 hits our running up scanner, squeezing from 529 up to six. Now, in this case, it's also got a low float. Relative volume is just under five. So, a little bit on the lower side, but was moving quickly and I was okay with it. So the context at that moment was that the other leading gainers were failing. PFSA was failing, selling off back below VWAP. XOS, this one had sold off again. Wet too expensive, but had also sold off quite a bit. And so with this beginning to rally up here, I thought this was going to become the obvious stock. And I bought this dip right here, consolidation at 550. It dips below 550 just for a second. I actually bought that dip and then added as it squeezed higher. We broke through 580, go up to 630, boom, in and out $5,6692. Now I'm on a roll up 8,700 on the day. The next trade is another scan alert sle. Now this stock has a little over five times relative volume, 1.6 million share float, 6 million shares of total volume. It's squeezing up and it has news, but I'm not really confident on the news because it's an asset treasury strategy where Mega or Metaplanet is investing. So, basically the way this is working is Metaplanet is uh giving SLE 2100 bitcoins worth $132 million in exchange for about 45 million shares of SLE which are worth about 120 million at $3 a share. So they did this swap, but now uh MetaPlanet is the 90 plus% shareholder of SLE. So they've essentially taken control of the company. So that's the news catalyst. Um now if Bitcoin was at all-time highs, I'd be a little bit more excited about it. So on this one, I traded it a little bit differently. So basically the way I approached this, oh, let me log back in. Hang on one second. Was when it first hit our scanner, so it hits the running up scanner. It's moving quickly and I'm thinking initially I've traded this one before. I don't really think it's going to work that well. In fact, it popped up just the other day and then failed. So, I I sort of had low expectations of it. But kind of like SCXT, because nothing else was really strong at that moment, this did end up getting more attention. So, here's the way I traded it. Let me pull up my chart for you. So, I'm going to pull up the chart here on SLE. So SLE um pops up, pulls back, pops up, pulls back, and as it squeezes right here, finally I decided to pull the trigger. And we ended up getting a a fairly nice move. Now, this one was tricky. So we got this trade right here for the break of six, and this put me up $2,000 on the day. Then I got back in uh right about here for the curl back through seven. Held through this whole pullback. Held, held, held. it comes up and then I sold sort of right in the middle of this. Some at profit, some at loss, and I gave back what I made on it. So, unfortunately, I I so I peaked at $10,000 on the day, about 11,000 actually in the small account and then finished um up $8,710 and down $7129 on SLE, which is a little bit of a bummer. So, that's the breakdown for my small account. In my big account, I traded um and made uh as you can see here $10,291. I also traded SLE and also lost on that same false breakout. I traded PFSA, but only made about $1,900 on it. And I traded GNPX, which was another stock that popped up. And it popped up so quickly, I didn't have time to take the trade in the small account, but that was actually a good thing as it turned out. So, GNPX popped up on our scanners earlier this morning. So, it hits the scanners and you can see we got this squeeze here from $5 up to 750, which is a pretty impressive move. And that was right at about 7:05 a.m. And so, right as soon as it was popping up, it's hitting our scanners. Ding, ding, ding. So, I got to scroll back for a second. So, let's see. This was um so this one. So, here we go. So, it's hitting our scanners. We've got uh low float, higher relative volume up 56%. And so, I see it squeezing and I'm like, "All right, man. I'm jumping in this." and I jumped in and we got this nice move from 550 up to 6 up to 7, but then it reversed hard. And you know what surprised me about this one is that this actually was up on news. This one actually had a news catalyst. It's got breaking news. That was the reason it moved higher. I jump on the momentum. We get this a couple little micro pullbacks here around six and then 650 and then it goes up to the high. So jumped in this fairly aggressively. We got this quick squeeze and even in spite of breaking news, it ends up going red on the day versus the price before the news came out. You don't like to see that happen. So that kind of put me on notice where in the big account I was like, you know what, I'm going to take my foot off the gas for a second. And so that was my first trade in the big account. I missed the early trade on PFSA, but I traded PFSA after the open. Um, and that's where I made the $2,000 on it in my big account trading uh this squeeze right here. So at the open, PFSA continued higher. So we ended up breaking this descending resistance level right here. So we had this level, broke through it, multiple halts going up, and we squeeze all the way up to $16 a share. Now, interestingly, if you connect the high right here with right here, kind of this area, we knew that there was potentially, you know, far up here some resistance. Didn't run into that. That wasn't a problem. We also had Wetto, which was really strong this morning. This one also had some ascending resistance, ran into. We were worried about that possible issue. But look at WTO. This is an example of one of these stocks that, you know, a couple days ago was at $6 a share and the thing just keeps going higher. Now it's in the 40s. So the swing trading short sellers are getting completely smoked on these types of stocks. And while they're not all holding up, we are definitely seeing some really good opportunities. So I'm grateful for today being another solid green day. um you know up 10,000 in the big account now puts me basically back to flat after my loss on Friday was read 64 $65,000 on Friday was up 52,000 yesterday 10,000 today so 62 grand so I'm still red a little bit in the big account since Friday that's kind of a bummer you know one big loss and then having to spend several days just getting myself back to where I was on Thursday night after I was done trading feels like a waste of time we're getting a little later in the month so it's frustrating but it is what it is Good progress, however, in the small account. Small account is now up to a balance of uh just under $80,000 versus the $2,000 initial starting balance. This is exciting. So, we broke through 75,000. That was the goal. Uh that was the next goal. Now, setting my sights on 100 grand. So, um again, thank you guys um for tuning in uh to these recaps. I hope you hit the thumbs up. I hope you're subscribed to the channel. And as always, if you want to check out a twoe trial, there's a link pinned at the top of the comments. and in the description. So, you can check that out. But I'll remind you that my results are not typical. Trading is risky. Easy come, easy go. So, please manage your risk and always practice in a simulator before putting real money on the line.
