MU gets the ball rolling, SPX makes another all-time high, traders buying everything now

Yo Pit Crazies,

 

Do institutions leave fingerprints?  I think they do so we might as well follow the clues.  Take a look here.


It is very true that Micron Tech Inc (Ticker: MU) is one of the grand daddy stocks in tech.  Did you know that it was backed by the biggest potato farmer back in the day?  I am old enough to remember when  JR Simplot made more on his MU investment than he did selling Idaho potatoes to McDonalds Inc (Ticker: MCD).  Either way, just when we needed it, MU came out with great earnings and the stock popped over $100 for the first time in a month.

Does that put it on my Longshot List? 

 

Let’s take a look.

 

MU is a great growth stock but not a Longshot lister

What I want is a stock that made a 1 year low recently.  MU made a low for 2024 just a few weeks ago,  but not for the last year. That was around the low 60s in 2023.  MU does have what I like in a stock and am a long time shareholder but this does not quite fit my criteria for the Longshot list.

 

It is getting a nice 10% bump off of the bottom though which is part of the plan to move stocks off of my Longshots list into a more active purchase.  

 

If you want to see how stocks move off of the Longshots list and into trades, check this out.



To Your Trading Success,
