ALERT: THIS STOCK JUST CRASHED 10% AFTER HOURS
In a Nutshell
Ricky made $8,000 today scalping Micron after losing $9,000 yesterday, focusing on quick entries/exits and cutting losses fast rather than holding for full moves. He warns Bitcoin could break below $58,000 and trigger a MicroStrategy collapse, while questioning whether Nike's post-earnings 7% drop presents a buy-the-dip opportunity or signals deeper trouble.

Ricky opened a short position on Micron at the start of the day, closed it, went long, then alternated between short and long positions multiple times. The stock offered a 1.4% range, but he captured only about half of that movement. He avoids attempting to catch full moves because he recognizes he is not a perfect trader and full-move attempts have historically cost him more than they rewarded.
Micron traded differently from other semiconductor stocks. The NASDAQ was strongly bullish and resilient throughout the session. INTC remained mostly resilient. Dell posted an impressive rally. Nvidia performed strongly but is not considered a new semiconductor. Marvel stayed elevated all day. Western Digital closed down 2%. SanDisk, viewed as a more comparable stock to Micron, ended 10-11% higher. Micron itself closed less than 1% in the green, appearing to lag the sector while still providing the volatility he prefers for scalping.
Yesterday Ricky lost over $9,000. Today he recovered most of that loss with an $8,000 gain. On the previous Friday he made $28,000. His primary rule today was to avoid greed and cut positions quickly once direction turned against him, even if that meant accepting a $1,000-$1,500 loss. His positions were sized over $100,000, though profit targets per trade remained modest. The volatility suited quick scalping entries and exits.
The final two trades produced the largest gains. After a sell-off, the stock rallied and became overbought. He announced a short to his LPP team, kept the size relatively small, let the move develop, then closed once consolidation began.
Ricky directs viewers interested in watching him trade live to the second link in the description, which leads to the LPP 3.0 homepage. The program includes an A2Z video lesson library, daily live trading sessions, and private group chat. It is offered as a one-time payment with lifetime access. Additional tools provided are a risk-to-reward ratio calculator and a win rate calculator that estimates potential profit or loss based on starting capital and edge quality. Over 5,000 free YouTube videos are also available for self-directed learning.
Bitcoin is holding just above $58,000 and is approximately $100 away from that level. Ricky expects a break below $58,000. The NASDAQ closed near all-time highs and is now overbought. If the NASDAQ sells off, Bitcoin is likely to follow. A break below $58,000 would trigger heavy selling pressure and liquidations, especially among leveraged crypto traders. This scenario would create a death spiral for MicroStrategy.
In the past 50 days, MicroStrategy has fallen from $197 to $89, representing a 56% decline. Ricky describes it as a terrible and worthless company.
Nike reported earnings today and beat expectations on both EPS and revenue, yet the stock fell 6.5-7.5%. On the daily and weekly charts it is trading at levels last seen in 2015, representing 10- to 11-year lows. Analyst fair value estimates suggest 48% upside. Revenue has begun to show modest improvement.
Ricky notes that many companies with strong price performance in 2025-2026 have weak fundamentals and rely on narrative, excitement, and guidance rather than solid financials. Nike does not fit that profile. He questions whether buying the dip simply because the stock is cheap is wise when sentiment remains bearish, or whether the company faces a longer-term decline that could push the price toward $20. He asks viewers whether they want a deeper analysis on Nike and invites comments, thumbs up, and subscriptions if they do.
Ricky looks forward to market developments in July, including potential manipulation from political tweets. He encourages viewers to join LPP if they want to begin watching live sessions the following morning.
