[56]
really fast on these youtube videos we
[58]
all know everyone has
[60]
attention span issues especially on
[62]
youtube me included
[63]
but if you want to slow things down a
[65]
little bit and really get into the
[66]
nitty-gritty
[67]
of trading press releases sec filings
[71]
everything i'm gonna talk about today
[72]
check out the steady trade team i slow
[74]
it down 45 minute webinars versus
[78]
four-minute youtube videos you can
[80]
really get that information
[82]
and ask questions you know again this
[84]
video obviously you can't ask questions
[85]
to a pre-recorded video
[87]
all of the steady trade sessions are
[89]
live all right so let's talk about how
[91]
to cut through
[92]
the bs on a press release and how to
[95]
ultimately stay out of trouble okay i
[98]
think that one of the biggest things
[100]
newer traders run into and you know we
[102]
talk about this with robin hooders we
[104]
joke about it a lot and
[106]
listen if you're on robin hood i got no
[107]
beef with that especially if you're a
[108]
new trader
[109]
as long as you have a plan okay as long
[111]
as you have a process
[112]
but we know a lot of these newer traders
[115]
they just see any sort of news they see
[117]
a headline
[118]
i mean you can blame the culture we're
[119]
in i know we're in a headline
[121]
culture blame social media a lot of
[123]
people will
[124]
retweet or post an article simply based
[127]
on
[128]
the headline because the headline
[130]
confirms their bias
[131]
meanwhile they don't read the 5 000 page
[133]
article we'll save that for another day
[135]
i won't get ranty
[136]
but the simple fact is we know a lot of
[138]
people just read a headline
[140]
they get excited they hit the buy button
[142]
and i don't want that to be you
[144]
i don't want you to get bagged okay and
[148]
a great example i'm going to talk about
[149]
today and if you were on the pre-market
[151]
prep
[152]
which i'll link below um i talked about
[154]
this
[155]
real time i joked um actually uh this
[158]
dates me
[159]
but this be this this buzzwordy press
[162]
release as soon as i read it
[164]
i'm like this sounds like mary poppins
[166]
where she sings
[167]
supercal fragilistic expialidocious i'm
[170]
like this
[171]
press release is a joke now that being
[173]
said
[174]
it came out in the morning on the 13th
[177]
uh and you can see the stock ran nuts in
[179]
pre-market
[180]
and hey listen if you were there fast
[183]
that's
[184]
one thing but most of you aren't up at
[186]
four or five in the morning and
[187]
i don't want you trading at four or five
[189]
in the morning anyway the people that
[191]
really i want to help and and it's
[193]
probably you i mean you only have so
[195]
much time
[196]
because a lot of people got bagged on
[198]
this press release buying
[200]
you know during that pre-market prep i'm
[202]
live at 8 30 eastern
[204]
and the stock was in the 850s 860s
[207]
ton of people piled in and then look at
[210]
this waterfall
[211]
after the open and then all day fade and
[214]
then ends up
[214]
gapping down the next day so what i want
[217]
to point out
[218]
is exactly that press release and then
[219]
i've also got a tip
[221]
on some sec filings that git will get
[224]
you
[225]
ahead of the minions because hey if you
[228]
saw this pr coming the day before
[231]
that's when you got to be looking to
[232]
attack this stock not
[234]
after the fact with these buzzwords so
[236]
let's jump over to wimi's pr
[239]
and read it together so wimi obtains a
[242]
patent
[243]
you ready new 3d holographic pulse laser
[246]
processing device
[247]
to further advance the application of
[249]
holographic technology in ev
[250]
autonomous driving and other areas
[254]
i mean all they're missing is bitcoin
[258]
and weed and this would probably be the
[260]
greatest bs press release headline
[262]
in the history of the world okay so now
[265]
it's a patent yes it might go somewhere
[268]
but ultimately i mean come on
[270]
how big of a market is 3d holographic
[272]
pulse laser processing
[274]
and then especially in the application
[276]
of holographic technology and ev
[278]
autonomous driving
[280]
and you know it's a penny stock with a
[283]
history of failing
[284]
so when you get these so buzzwordy
[287]
stocks
[288]
the next thing i want you to do is bring
[290]
up
[291]
that you know multi-year multi-month
[294]
chart and look at wimi i mean yes it ran
[298]
back in the summer but then just got
[300]
destroyed and look at when it ran
[302]
the last time all of october
[305]
ran up destroyed ran up destroyed
[309]
ran up and so do you want to be buying
[311]
this stock
[312]
that you gotta be dubious about on that
[314]
press release okay
[315]
and i mean it's one thing if they
[318]
announce like real news with
[319]
with with substance like earnings i mean
[321]
one of the reasons we love earnings
[323]
winners
[324]
is if you you know earnings are audited
[328]
okay this is
[329]
sec file and i mean if you misstate your
[332]
earnings
[332]
you're going to jail now you can be
[336]
colorful and flowery on a press release
[339]
and nobody nobody gets in any trouble
[341]
so we're looking for real information
[343]
and
[344]
you know concrete numbers another thing
[346]
i want you to look for in press releases
[348]
and
[349]
penny stocks are notorious for this
[352]
they'll say unnamed partner huge red
[355]
flag
[356]
so you'll see we had another stock um
[358]
it's escaping me but
[359]
you know they announced a a uh a
[362]
partnership with a
[363]
large company you know but they don't
[365]
name the partner
[367]
lead market leader etc i mean that's
[369]
because if
[370]
if listen if it's apple okay they'd say
[373]
it was apple
[374]
if it was amazon they'd say it was
[376]
amazon so unnamed partners
[378]
like large contracts they'll say large
[381]
contract you know
[382]
record contract but they'll they won't
[384]
have numbers or my favorite
[386]
is the up two you know you'll see penny
[389]
stocks over and over again
[390]
particularly penny stocks that fail
[392]
they'll say you know awarded a contract
[394]
for
[394]
up to 20 million well what's that mean
[397]
does that mean
[398]
five bucks 50 bucks you know what is
[402]
up two i mean sure if everything goes
[403]
great which we know all penny stocks are
[405]
incompetent and fail
[407]
that never goes rig great so those are
[409]
the biggest
[410]
red flags you want to look for flowery
[413]
buzz wordy language like wimi and then
[416]
those
[417]
vague terms unnamed partners
[420]
you know unnamed time frames multi-year
[423]
you know up to
[424]
all these things that are the big red
[426]
flags that you got to be
[427]
so so cautious for and listen
[431]
i just don't want you to get in to
[433]
something like wimi and then look at
[434]
this multi-day fade
[436]
and at the point actually it's i'll be
[438]
curious drop me a comment below
[440]
what's w-i-m-i at the day you're
[443]
watching this video
[444]
to me it's probably gonna be at four or
[446]
five bucks all the way back
[448]
and everyone that believed that press
[450]
release
[451]
is hating life right now i don't want
[453]
you hating life okay
[454]
next thing i want to talk about is sec
[457]
filings and how
[459]
you can focus on these four keywords
[462]
that might allow you to spot that wi mi
[465]
press release
[466]
in advance so um every every company has
[469]
to announce
[470]
an 8k you know they have to file with
[473]
the sec file
[474]
or with the sec when they have upcoming
[476]
news when they have upcoming earnings
[478]
when they have insider buys or sells
[480]
there's a lot of intricacies in sec
[482]
filings
[483]
but what's great about stocks of trade
[484]
is every single sec filing
[487]
drops in and you can see with ttcm here
[490]
the interesting thing this filing got
[492]
posted on august 25th
[494]
2020 and they talk about you know this
[497]
great
[498]
you know arc net mobile platform which
[500]
is buzz worthy we like
[502]
and then they let you know that there's
[504]
an upcoming press release
[506]
to follow doesn't mean you buy the stock
[508]
but if you're looking at your filings
[510]
and you're scanning on these low price
[512]
stocks
[512]
it tells you that you need to be ready
[515]
so let's look at ttcm
[517]
what happened a few few days later after
[520]
that filing hit
[521]
or after the filing was announced so it
[523]
gets post
[524]
on august 25th okay next day
[528]
stock gaps up pr drops and it runs from
[532]
you know this is an otc stock so a
[534]
thousandth
[535]
or nine one thousandth of a penny all
[538]
the way up to
[539]
you know seventeen one hundredths of a
[541]
penny basically a hundred percent run
[543]
now they don't all do that but what
[546]
would what's awesome about this
[548]
you can see it coming and if you're
[549]
looking at that intraday chart
[551]
you see that volume come in you see that
[554]
breakout happen
[555]
and you can attack those high day breaks
[557]
attack those dip and rips
[559]
and all those patterns i look about or i
[561]
talk about in all of these videos
[562]
so keep in mind what's great about
[566]
stocks to trade is we have this sec
[568]
filing
[569]
tab which allows you to scroll all the
[572]
way back
[572]
i mean i can look at every filing on it
[575]
on ttcm all the way back
[577]
to those filings from october and the or
[580]
i'm sorry august that we were talking
[581]
about
[582]
and i can be ahead of the game and you
[585]
know listen stocks to trade is a paid
[586]
subscription
[587]
i think the sec filings that are built
[589]
into it is one of the most powerful
[591]
functions out there
[592]
know them understand them and you can
[595]
set alerts so you can be notified
[598]
when so if ttcm is on your radar you can
[601]
actually create an alert and when those
[602]
filings hit you get that notification
[605]
on your platform and every little bit of
[608]
information that puts you ahead
[609]
of the other guys that are using free
[611]
tools whether that be the robinhood app
[613]
or yahoo finance
[615]
or google finance i mean listen if you
[617]
can beat them
[618]
by a minute or hours or days
[622]
because you're ready that's one of the
[624]
best edges you can get out there i mean
[625]
