TOP 5 STOCKS TO WATCH AS MARKETS CRASH!!!
In a Nutshell
Markets crashed over the weekend with NASDAQ down 2.3-2.4% amid oil surging 22-25% (USO halted) due to Iran tensions, crushing airlines like American (AAL to $10) and Southwest; watch for irrational recovery tomorrow ahead of CPI, GDP, and PCE data. Key stocks: HIMS gapping up 39-41% on Novo Nordisk obesity drug partnership and short squeeze potential (still down from $70 highs); MU retesting lows (bullish if oil resolves); PLTR overvalued but resilient; avoid early shorts on oil/NG without reversal confirmation. Trade small (e.g., one share), manage risk tightly in this volatile setup, take profits, and join LPP team live sessions for real-time breakdowns.

Today's Sunday, March 8th. Overall markets are down. NASDAQ market is down 2.3% almost 2.4% during overnight hours. Sent message to LPP team to take profits and play it safe since overnight hours opened. Markets sell off on weekends and overnight, but often recover by close tomorrow. Markets are super irrational and always looking for a reason to recover. If you shorted the market, congratulations, especially with the gap down. If there's reversal or recovery, cash out. Never be afraid to cash out.

Oil futures up 22% on the day, not just Brent Oil, United States Oil Fund up 22.99% overnight. HIMS halted overnight trading, up 39% after market hours Friday (41% mentioned). HIMS went from highs of $70 per share to lows of $15-$16, oversold. Positive news: Novo Nordisk and HIMS agreed to partner on obesity drug (same partnership as before?). High short interest, potential short squeeze. Positive catalyst, but may not turn things around long-term. Watch for momentum, but 40% run-up is red flag. After 40% run, still at $22, down from $70 highs.
Economic reports:
- Tuesday: February existing home sales data
- Wednesday: CPI
- Friday: GDP, PCE (Fed's favorite inflation measure), JOLTS (job openings)

Oil prices pushing up due to high tensions and attacks in Iran. NASDAQ gapped down to lows of 580-585, but not below November 2025 lows. Airlines crashing due to oil: jet fuel 20-30% of expenses. American Airlines from $16.50 to $10. Southwest Airlines also dropping. Don't short oil while pumping; wait for reversal confirmation. Don't short early without timeline on war. Be voice of reason to make money.
Oil won't sustain long-term, but don't get early into reversal. Wait for confirmation rather than risk missing drop.
HIMS: On watch list, gapping up. See if sustains or short-lived.
MSTR: Down 3%, not making new lows, lack of progress downside, less attractive opportunity cost-wise.
Micron Technologies (MU)
Possible overbought reversal setup, but incredibly bullish, no break of structure. Retesting previous lows. If markets recover, could recover. Recent downturn due to overseas conditions. If resolution, oil drops, MU uptick possible. Don't buy dip early; use position size management (e.g., 5-10% of capital).
Palantir (PLTR)
Fundamentally overvalued, 200x earnings even after retracement from $207 to $157 lows. War-related and tech-related. If Middle East calms, could retrace (16% downside to new lows). But aggressively bullish (Thanos stock), Wall Street loves it, sustains elevated levels. More upside if big tech recovers. Not most lucrative short vs. airlines or oil. Downside not attractive.

Oil up another $3, 25% total, halted overnight trading on USO (can't sell). Natural gas (UNNG) up 8%, reacting similarly but second/third to oil. Won't sustain; will downturn with oil. Like meme stocks (GME, AMC), pick one and run with it.
Gas prices from $2.90 to $3.60 locally, impacting consumers/producers. Prepare plan: long oil now, prepare short on reversal to $80/barrel.
AeroVironment (AV)
Up 2%, sharp downturn, oversold reversal? Consolidating at support, previously bullish. Could recover (dead cat bounce). Lost government bid for military drones, panic selling done. No continuation signs, holding support. Risk/reward not lucrative for short.
Rigetti Computing (RGTI)
Consolidating sideways, descending pattern like NASDAQ. Sold off enough; oversold, any positive news could skyrocket like HIMS. Speculative, volatile, hail mary. Technicals/fundamentals broken even after recovery. Not good investment.
NASDAQ down 2.2% now. Tomorrow close: lower or irrational recovery? Take profits or trim if turns. Markets one tweet from green. Trading sideways all year. Be intentional, no leverage, take opportunities. Unique time.
It's a really unique time to be watching the markets and trading the markets. Oil is a really big focus for a lot of people. Don't be afraid to test it. Beginner traders overcomplicate it and think they need to go in with 100% of their position, every penny in their account. Instead, just buy one share. If you want to short before confirmation, test it out with one share instead of going all in. Don't be afraid to partake, but don't overleverage yourself or you'll get margin called and forced to liquidate—it's a terrible experience.
It's a very volatile time in the market. We don't know when a resolution will happen between the two countries or when they'll settle. We can all speculate, but we don't know. Stay calm, be intentional, look for reward, but take risk into consideration. We'll talk about this more in detail in tomorrow's live trading session.
