Ideas
Josh Brown CEO, Ritholtz Wealth Management 5:43
Meta tradable low at $525 support
Meta has a tradable low around $525, a level that has acted as strong support three times since early 2025, with buyers repeatedly stepping in. A long position with a stop at 525 offers a defined-risk bounce setup.
META HIGH

Uber tradable low, possible rally to $100
Uber has formed a tradable low in the mid-to-high $60s after a strong bounce from post-earnings gap down, with risk clearly defined at that level. The stock has been in a long consolidation and the speaker is personally long, expecting a move back toward $100.
UBER HIGH
Josh Brown CEO, Ritholtz Wealth Management 10:38
Netflix $70 zone may be a bottom
Netflix appears to have found a significant bottom around $70, with the stock recovering quickly from a 10% post-earnings gap down and most bad news already priced in. The speaker is averaging down and sees a 50/50 chance the low holds.
NFLX MED
Josh Brown CEO, Ritholtz Wealth Management 12:20
Disney buy on double bottom at $90
Disney has a double bottom at $90 that has historically attracted buyers, and the speaker believes the stock is a buy at that level, expecting it to reclaim its 50-day moving average and bounce unless an economic catastrophe occurs.
DIS MED
Josh Brown CEO, Ritholtz Wealth Management 13:31
Home Depot inverse head-and-shoulders bottom
Home Depot is forming an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, signaling a potential trend change. With interest-rate headwinds fully priced in, the stock is reversing and the speaker would pull the trigger with a target back to $400.
HD HIGH
Michael Batnick Managing Partner, Ritholtz Wealth Management 16:17
Small cap consumer discretionary ETF breaking out
Small-cap consumer discretionary stocks are hitting new all-time highs, signaling genuine consumer strength because the ETF holds a broad basket of specialty retail, hotels, restaurants, and household durables, avoiding idiosyncratic single-stock noise.
XLY HIGH
Josh Brown CEO, Ritholtz Wealth Management 22:23
Nvidia financing deal cements AI chip demand
Nvidia's partnerships with major Wall Street firms to finance data centers effectively end the circular-financing concern and commoditize compute as a scarce, fungible asset. This secures long-term demand for Nvidia chips and is super bullish for the stock.
NVDA HIGH
Michael Batnick Managing Partner, Ritholtz Wealth Management 34:07
Expedia breakout, travel demand overcomes AI
Expedia has survived AI disruption fears, is breaking out to fresh highs, and travel demand remains so strong that it overrides any threat from AI trip planners. The stock has strong momentum and is going higher.
EXPE HIGH
Josh Brown CEO, Ritholtz Wealth Management 35:11
CrowdStrike remains top cybersecurity holding
CrowdStrike is the most trusted cybersecurity platform and will remain essential as AI increases threats. Cyber spending cannot decrease in any boardroom, and the stock has compounded at 29% annually since IPO; the speaker will never sell.
CRWD HIGH
Josh Brown CEO, Ritholtz Wealth Management 37:04
Moody's and S&P immune to AI disruption
Rating agencies like Moody's and S&P Global are not susceptible to AI disruption because their ratings carry regulatory trust and standardization that a chatbot cannot replace. They also own valuable data that LLMs must pay for, making them strong bounce candidates.
MCO SPGI HIGH
Josh Brown CEO, Ritholtz Wealth Management 49:52
Buy the dip in Hilton at $305 support
Hilton is a buy on the dip. It is an asset-light marketing and points business with 22% annual compounding over 10 years. The stock is falling into its rising 200-day moving average near $305, similar to the Marriott setup, and should bounce back to old highs.
HLT HIGH
Michael Batnick Managing Partner, Ritholtz Wealth Management 56:09
Alternative asset managers ETF bottomed, going higher
The alternative asset managers ETF has put in a major low that held and is now reversing sharply, signaling that private-credit fears are not systemic and the market no longer cares about blow-up risks in that space.
PSP HIGH
