Earnings Swing Trade Alert : PLTR
Hi there,
This is earnings week and stocks will likely make big moves – either up or down (I honestly don't know which way). But here's some news: PLTR just released earnings and is up 23% in pre-market. I rate this as a B+ Swing Trading Setup. Here's why:
Why it's a great setup:
-
Breaking out to all-time highs
-
SUPER GROWTH stock
-
Part of the HOT AI trend
-
Rule of 100 working in our favor
-
When a stock passes a round number like 100, it tends to keep running up from there
-
Why it's not quite an A+ setup:
-
We prefer to see earnings surprises over 100% for the best earnings swing trades
-
Earnings growth is slowing down (bad sign for a growth stock)
-
PLTR is jumping out of an 8-week base—we usually like to see longer bases!

Quick Update: I'm working on some helpful handbooks that I'll start including in these trade emails over the next 1-2 weeks.
As always, please manage your risk carefully and trade according to your personal strategy.
