Hey traders,
For a long time, I used to treat Fridays like a fix-it day.
If I messed up earlier in the week, I’d try to force something just to end on a “good note.”
If I had a decent week, I’d still go looking for one more trade—thinking it would make the week feel complete.
That usually backfired.
I’d end up overtrading, taking setups I didn’t really like, and sometimes giving back a chunk of my gains.
It never felt worth it.
At some point, I realized Fridays don’t need to be about making trades.
They can be about getting ready.
Now I spend Fridays prepping for Monday. I watch how certain stocks finish the week, I look for strong closes, and I build a game plan for next week.
That’s when most of my best trades happen, when I’ve had the weekend to think clearly and I’m not rushing anything.
So instead of trying to squeeze out one more win, I shift my focus to setting traps I can spring early next week.
Here’s what’s on my radar right now…
Stocks I’m Watching Going Into Monday:
Federal National Mortgage Association (OTCQB: FNMA)
Big names are watching this. Ackman even made a full video on it.
If it opens red and pushes back green, I’ll be watching for a squeeze toward $6.50 per share or higher.
Direxion Daily TSLA (NASDAQ: TSLL)
This one moves with Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) so if Tesla holds up and this clears $10, I could see a clean short-term pop.
Marin Software (NASDAQ: MRIN)
This one’s been holding up, but there’s some big news out.
They just announced a plan of dissolution, so I’m watching how it reacts.
If volume comes in and it still holds above $1.50, it might squeeze toward $2.00 per share, but this one’s definitely more risky now.
Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO)
Nice inside day look. I’m watching for a breakout above $30.00 per share if volume shows up.
We almost got it a few days ago when it hit $28.96, so lets watch to see if it can break through!
These might not all turn into trades, but the key is being ready before the move happens—not chasing it after the fact.
Next week, I’m expecting things to heat up again.
There’s been nonstop volatility lately—market swings, trade war drama, rate rumors.
And I’ve got a feeling the next major move could land before next week’s over.
I’ll have more to say about that soon… but for now, get your watchlist together, and don’t sleep on these Friday opportunites.
Talk Monday,
Jack Kellogg
