Amazon $AMZN is back to where it was in February.

But that shot was subsequently punished and the stock rode down.

Will that be the case this time around?

Disney $DIS reported results yesterday after the market closed!

In the aftermarket, Disney is down more than 4.5%

Earnings per share were down one cent (-0.34%)…

Upstart $UPST reported Q1/2023 results yesterday!

The results easily beat analysts' estimates and the stock jumped +40% in the aftermarket!

Earnings per share -0.47 vs. expected -0.826 (beat by 43%)…

$PLTR reported the results! Super numbers across continents.

Earnings per share 0.05 vs. expected 0.04 (+26%)

Revenue $525.186M vs expected $505.824M (+3.83%)…

So today the markets are very calm. Could this be the calm before the storm?

I'm curious myself. At least we are not bored and can go in peace to study the results of $PLTR and $PYPL, which will come after the market close.

Who will be watching?

So far, the markets are calm. Crypto has slid down, but oil has jumped up. Meanwhile, the dollar is strengthening nicely. Europe's DAX is in the balance, as is America.

It's a difficult time for investors and traders. We're in a market squeeze and when one side wins, it's going to be a ride.

I wouldn't be surprised if we retraced that rise on Friday, but if we go up, I won't be…

$AAPL reported the results yesterday!

The world's largest company once again beat estimates on all fronts.

Revenue. $92.9B vs reported $94.8B (+2%)…

$SBUX after results.

The company beat analysts' estimates. Higher earnings ($8.72B) and higher earnings per share (0.74). Despite this, the stock dropped significantly. It wrote off over 4.5% after the market opened and ended the day with a loss of 9.17% or $-10.5.

Next week on Thursday, the world's largest company - $AAPL - reports its results

This company is an important part of my portfolio and I expect it to beat estimates and have a strong outlook this time around.

On the other hand, the stock is trading really high (at $170). This signifies strength in the stock, which is good, but there are a lot of significant resistances in the…

Immediately after the market opened I closed my position on $META

It was a buy from last night - a strangle (option strategy - you buy one call and one put). To make a profit on this trade, there has to be a really significant move in the stock.

Given that Meta stock opened at a plus 14% after the beat, that was enough to give my position a 300% appreciation.
