Questions & Answers

Q: What factors contributed to the strength in the major indexes in the stock market?

The strength in the major indexes can be attributed to a combination of the Bank of Japan's stimulus announcement, states' plans to reopen, and the hope that the economy will pick back up if people remain social distanced.

Q: Why is the performance of tech stocks, particularly big cap names, important?

Tech stocks, especially the trillion-dollar names like Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook, are crucial in determining the overall performance of the Nasdaq. While seeing strength in other tech stocks is positive, the performance of these big names holds significance.

Q: What are the key factors behind Tesla's breakout and rebound?

Tesla's breakout and rebound can be attributed to hopes of production starting soon and the blue line representing the relative strength hitting a new high. However, there is some risk involved with buying the stock due to upcoming earnings.

Q: What makes Autodesk a stock to watch in the software group?

Autodesk had a cup-with-handle breakout after several failed breakouts in 2019. It switched to software-as-a-service, showing strong revenue and earnings growth. The absence of imminent earnings reports makes it a compelling stock.

Q: What are the potential outcomes for AMD with its upcoming earnings?

AMD's upcoming earnings can lead to a significant move in either direction. While it shows positive signals with holding above the 200-day line, the presence of a handle and earnings uncertainty make it a cautious stock to watch.

Summary & Key Takeaways
