  5. Wed through Friday Apple bounced off the lows and headed for the higher highs. The call volume on the $195-$200s has been explosive. Apple sure wants $200, that would be its true ATH because the last one was a bunk AI pump.

    Yeah it fell off my radar. $12.73 huh? Hmmmm. The whole sub-sector has been hammered, it's certainly not alone... but there must have been something there I liked at $21, I remember just glancing at it post-earnings. Off rip, without looking yet and knowing me, they've gotta have a stellar balance sheet with a lot of cash.


    Don't let Freshwork's name fool ya... it's tech, and Zwaen may have found a tasty left-over hidden in the back of the fridge.

    You've sent me down a rabbit hole here. A few thoughts... a move that big would have to be sector wide all things being equal, as they're all beat down. Which begs the question, if there is a rotation back into the sector... which stock can we cherry pick that will do the best? Using a DCF analysis I think there might be a couple better ones. Salesforce for sure, but the momo is always in the cheaper stocks like this. I'll find one.

    Sorry, the only thing I did was scrolling through your thread and saw this stock, and how much it was fallen since your first mentioning. Then on the larger timeframe it is approaching this “support area” like one sees in the retail charts. Maybe could be an interesting buy (from swing trade perspective )
    If you need help/time with something I would be very happy help btw
