Three Buys, One Bail

Earlier this week I joined CNBC’s “The Exchange” to discuss which tickers were on my list – as well as which were not! Check out my watchlist below:

1) Datadog (DDOG) – Buy

Reasons for DDOG:
-Cyber security in focus / geopolitical issues shining a spotlight / growing industry group set to continue expanding
-This ticker doesn’t have the history that PANW or AKAM has, but I like it because it’s an up and coming name in the sector

2) Enphase Energy (ENPH) – Buy

Reasons:
-Though solar rallied last year upon Biden’s infrastructure plan announcements, and then fell, the fact is, these shifts will keep occurring for years to come
-Crazy weather, less trust in government, interest in renewable energy are all drivers

3) Exxon Mobil (XOM) – Buy

Reasons:
-Strong energy + oil sector. Yes, Biden is releasing more supply but the technical structure is holding up and remains strong
-XOM has pulled back slightly from the recent high at $91.51, giving me a better entry point than some other oil stocks still up at highs

4) Uber – Bail

Reasons:
-Inconsistent earnings, the bearish technical pattern on daily + weekly charts
-Relative weakness
-Headwinds – gas prices, people moving out of cities into suburbs (not as great of an Uber market), liberal state laws, competition, legal issues

The Post-Fed Break Out Continues…
