Added to Watchlist
| Ticker | Reason | Watch For |
|---|---|---|
| MU | Beat & sell + competitive threats, -25% in 8 days | Stabilization (2-3 days sideways). If Google threat is overstated, could be a massive dip-buy. |
| U | Q1 beat + restructuring, but revenue stagnant | Revenue acceleration in next quarter. If Vector growth drives top-line, thesis strengthens. |
Trades Executed
| Ticker | Action | Entry | Shares | Stop | Target | Thesis Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MRVL | BUY | $92.00 (limit) | 18 | $82.00 (pending — set manually after fill, PDT blocked) | $120.00 | Thesis |
Order ID: db8f6cce-c905-4538-8d5a-03e484cc2548
CRITICAL ACTION ITEM: Stop-loss at $82 must be set manually after buy fills. PDT restriction (equity < $25K) prevented same-day stop placement. Run /watch status or set alarm.
Key Observations
-
Semiconductor bifurcation: AI/data center semis (MRVL) are structurally strong but getting caught in the same selloff as cyclical semis (MU, INTC). This creates opportunities in quality AI names at discount prices.
-
Beat-and-sell is the dominant pattern this week. MU beat earnings and dropped 25%. U beat and bounced. The market is punishing any company where the beat doesn’t materially change the forward outlook.
-
Prior watchlist tickers recovering: PANW (+6%), CRWD (+4.3%), ZS (+3.2%), DDOG (+2.65%) are all bouncing from Friday’s dips. The Anthropic leak selloff was indeed an overreaction. DDOG and PANW remain the strongest pending buy candidates once positions stabilize.
-
Portfolio rebalance complete. PONY, FIG, and 48 NVDA shares sold. Cash freed up from $2.1K to $16.1K. This is the best position to deploy capital in months.
Next Run Recommendations
- Set MRVL stop at $82 GTC — most urgent action item
- Monitor DDOG and PANW — pending buy candidates from Friday’s dip scan. Both recovering. If they stabilize above entry levels ($114 for DDOG, $147 for PANW), execute buy orders.
- Watch MU for stabilization — if it holds $340 support for 2-3 days, it becomes a dip-buy candidate with strong mean-reversion stats (+9.2% avg 30-day recovery)
- Geopolitical risk monitor — Iran situation is the macro wildcard. De-escalation = bullish for risk assets. Escalation = sell everything and wait.
- Next earnings catalysts — check which portfolio/watchlist names report in the next 2 weeks
- PDT consideration — equity at $20.5K, need to grow to $25K to remove PDT restriction. Avoid day trades until then.
