Hi Traders!
Welcome to the latest edition of the Five Star Trader newsletter! As we continue our bi-weekly revival, I’m sharing my bullish outlook for this unusual September and highlighting some favorite trade entries. Plus, I’m thrilled to promote my debut episode of The Trader’s Code, filmed at the iconic NYSE with Jeffrey Hirsch (@almanactrader). More on that below!
A Stronger-Than-Expected September: Why I’m Staying Bullish
This September bucks the historical trend—indexes are hovering just below all-time highs despite a minor pullback, which was swiftly bought up as investors hunt discounts. The 10-year yield is dropping rapidly, likely heading below 4% soon (echoing last October’s lows), which should fuel tech stocks even in this typically bearish period. Looking ahead, rate cuts are on the horizon, followed by October earnings as the next catalyst. After that, we enter the seasonally strongest months. While I always watch for September weakness, it’s not materializing—I remain firmly bullish.
My Recent Favorite Entries: Tickers to Watch
Here are some standout picks I’m eyeing for breakouts and upside potential:
- CVNA to $450: Carvana shows strong relative strength with massive post-earnings gaps (6-37% over 8 quarters) and consistent EPS beats. As car prices rise, consumers seek deals—love the current consolidation for a breakout into earnings.
- TSLA to $420 and Back to Highs: Despite challenges, Tesla’s AI rebrand (including Optimus robots starting production end-of-year, available 2026-2027) positions it for growth. The stock’s consolidating—I’m building positions for the next leg up.
- NFLX to $1400: Netflix is consolidating on the daily chart, recovering strongly post-earnings, and holding above the 50 SMA for technical strength. Overdone selloff last quarter? It’s bouncing back nicely.
- RBLX to $160: Roblox boasts strong relative strength, a bullish trend, and ready-to-break consolidation. Fundamentals aside (not a fan of the platform, sorry kiddo!), the technicals and volume scream opportunity.
- OKLO to $100: Nuclear power for AI’s energy demands makes this compelling. High short float, bullish trends into earnings, and solid consolidation—I’m positioning for a breakout.
These setups align with the broader bullish catalysts; always manage risk with stops!
