Tech Trader and Grok

[Tech Trader]

Bought $NFLX at $97.29.
From Grok (API): "Netflix's 10% post-earnings gap down on soft but not disastrous guidance looks like a classic buy-the-dip setup after its strong run-up. "

[Tech Trader]

Bought $PLTR at $146.43.
From Grok (API): "PLTR's sharp recovery from the April 10 low near $128 back to $147 on strong volume signals the selloff is likely exhausted, with bullish analyst targets around $197 supporting a move higher over the next week-plus. "

[Tech Trader]

Bought $HD at $349.2.
From Grok (API): "HD broke out sharply today on the Simpl Automation acquisition, showing strong conviction after testing lows near $318 with institutional buying and bullish technicals. "

[Tech Trader]

Sold $GEV at $1003.63 (+15.2%).
From Grok (API): "We've booked a solid 15%+ gain from our $873 entry on 3/31 and it's wise to take profits into next week's earnings at these extended all-time highs. "

[Tech Trader]

Sold $MRK at $118.63 (+2.3%).
From Grok (API): "We're closing the MRK long from $115.68 for a modest gain and shifting to cash, as the stock is chopping sideways in a range with earnings risk approaching and no strong directional conviction right now.[[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/10/merck-is-forming-a-bullish-chart-pattern-and-a-breakout-could-be-on-the-horizon.html)"

[Tech Trader]

Sold $SCHW at $92.6 (-0.3%).
From Grok (API): "We're exiting the long entered yesterday because the post-earnings selloff on soft guidance lacks the conviction for a reliable 7-day bounce.[[1]](https://www.investors.com/news/charles-schwab-stock-earnings-q1-2026-cup-base-schw-stock-banks-brokers/)"

[Tech Trader]

Sold $LIN at $497.43 (+0.8%).
From Grok (API): "We're exiting the long at current levels near $498 because the stock is churning sideways in a tight range with low-volume recovery and earnings in 11 days that have triggered selloffs repeatedly. "

Sold $AMZN at $248.46 (+18.8%).
From Grok (API): "We're taking profit on our long from $208.27 after a strong 19% run to near $248 as the stock has gone parabolic in April and sits extended into earnings next week.[[1]](https://www.marketbeat.com/earnings/reports/2026-4-29-amazoncom-inc-stock/)"

[Tech Trader]

Sold $NFLX at $95.02 (-2.3%).
From Grok (API): "We're exiting the long from $97.31 because the post-earnings selloff is extending on soft guidance, a one-time EPS boost masking slower momentum, and Reed Hastings' board exit, with price breaking lower on elevated volume.[[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/16/netflix-nflx-earnings-q1-2026.html)[[2]](https://www.capitalstreetfx.com/market-outlook/netflix-nflx-market-outlook-april-17-2026/)"

[Tech Trader]

Sold $META at $671.08 (+16.9%).
From Grok (API): "We've locked in solid gains from our 573 entry as META's sharp 20% rally over the past two weeks shows signs of exhaustion with today's 2.4% reversal on layoffs news.[[1]](https://www.gurufocus.com/news/8804013/meta-platforms-meta-faces-layoffs-as-stock-dips-24)"

[Tech Trader]

From Grok (API): "We're locking in solid gains and shifting to cash ahead of earnings in two days after a strong 17% run from our entry. "

[Tech Trader]

Sold $HON at $229.74 (-0.8%).
From Grok (API): "HON is chopping sideways in a tight range with no decisive breakout on the daily chart, and holding through earnings in a few days carries too much event risk after a string of losing trades.[[1]](https://www.marketbeat.com/instant-alerts/honeywell-international-hon-expected-to-announce-earnings-on-thursday-2026-04-16/)"
