WED 1/28: FSS – CALLING A FINAL SELL SIGNAL @ $108.98 -16.4%

James F. Taulman BB - SIDEBAR, FSS, PERFORMANCE, ST - CHART UPDATES, ST PERFORMANCE

3:52 PM – The stock never recovered from its earnings sell-off, and downside momentum has remained persistent. While earnings trades can offer outsized upside, they also carry elevated risk and sharp short-term volatility. With no meaningful technical repair taking place, I’m calling a FINAL SELL SIGNAL and closing out coverage.

SELL SIGNALS:
11/4 (1/3) @ $113.62 –12.9%
11/11 (1/3) @ $111.34 –14.6%
1/28 (1/3) @ $108.98 –16.4%

OVERALL P/L: –14.6%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Earnings Risk Cuts Both Ways

  • Earnings events can accelerate gains or losses quickly.

  • When post-earnings damage isn’t repaired, patience turns into risk.

  • Exiting decisively on failed earnings trades prevents small losses from compounding into larger ones.

TUE 11/11: FSS- CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $111.34 -14.6%

James F. Taulman BB - SIDEBAR, FSS, PERFORMANCE, ST - CHART UPDATES, ST PERFORMANCE

3:30 PM – Posts a near-negative reversal while getting turned back from its 10 DMA. The failed attempt to reclaim short-term momentum confirms continued technical weakness and triggers a 2nd SELL SIGNAL.

SELL SIGNALS:
11/4 @ $113.62 -12.9%
11/11 @ $111.34 -14.6%

An ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Respect Reversals

  • A negative reversal near the 10 DMA often signals failed support recovery.

  • When price can’t hold intraday gains, momentum has shifted decisively.

  • Always heed reversals — they’re one of the market’s clearest warning signs.

TUE 11/4: FSS – CALLING A 1ST SELL SIGNAL @ $113.62 -12.9%

James F. Taulman BB - SIDEBAR, FSS, PERFORMANCE, ST - CHART UPDATES, ST PERFORMANCE

9:01 PM – Above-average volume selling has resumed, and a quick recovery from the recent earnings sell-off looks unlikely. The stock continues to lose momentum as sellers remain in control, triggering a first SELL SIGNAL.

SELL SIGNAL:
11/4 @ $113.62 -12.9%

An ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Selling Pressure Matters

  • Heavy volume on down days confirms real institutional selling.

  • Quick rebounds after earnings drops are rare when distribution sets in.

  • Always watch how volume behaves — it often reveals the truth before price does.
