If You Missed APLD & NVDA. This Could Be Even Bigger

Chris Sain•May 18, 2026

Summary

Chris emphasizes the importance of a 'rinse and repeat' strategy, where traders lock in gains at predetermined targets and wait for retracements to re-enter positions. He highlights that even the strongest stocks, like those in the S&P 500, rarely stay at all-time highs without periodic profit-taking from Wall Street. Chris encourages viewers to use technical analysis alongside fundamental news, specifically mentioning upcoming earnings reports as major market catalysts.

He provides a breakdown of several key assets:

NVDA (Nvidia): Chris highlights that the stock successfully hit and exceeded his $230 price target, reaching $235. He advises that once such a target is hit, investors should sell a portion of their position (e.g., half or a third) to secure profits. He suggests that a potential pullback to the $172 level would represent a strong 'rinse and repeat' re-entry point for those looking to play the long-term trend.

MSFT (Microsoft): Chris identifies Microsoft as a high-quality company that remained dormant during a broader software exodus but is now 'waking from the dead.' He points to Bill Ackman's recent purchase of the stock as a significant institutional signal for retail investors to follow. At a current price of $421, Chris views this as a 'proven winner' that offers much more stability than speculative penny stocks.

GOOGL (Google): Chris describes Google as a stellar company with superb valuation, leadership, and cash flow that is keeping pace with the AI revolution. He notes that the stock recently crushed its $400 target and explains that the subsequent dip to $393 is a normal part of the market cycle. He advises against chasing the stock at its peak and instead waiting for it to 'come back around' to the station for a better entry.

AIIO (Robo AI): Chris characterizes this as a speculative 'fun play' that saw a massive move from $1 to $6 before settling around $4. He warns investors not to overstay their welcome in such volatile plays because they are easily manipulated by Wall Street. He recommends taking profits from these speculative moves and rotating the capital into established winners like AMD or Google.
