Today's tape: SLS +10.2%, 5 HC calls

June 26, 2026. The tape today? A mixed bag. We saw some clear winners. We saw some drag their feet. Not a home run, not a strikeout. Just the day-to-day grind.

SLS was the standout. This stock shot up. From $11.28 to $12.43. That's a 10.2% jump. Quick. Clean. GRIPS saw it early, flagging it with an 84. For those who played it, a solid payday. The volume was there, the setup was clear. It moved.

Then you had the other side of the coin. HIMS took a hit. Down 2.4%. Started at $34.78, closed at $33.95. WEN followed suit. Another 2.4% drop, from $7.96 to $7.77. Not massive losses, no, but they tell a story. In a market where every basis point counts, these drops remind you to stay sharp.

MRNA had a decent session, up 2.5%. ASTS added 1.9%. These were positive moves, yes, but they didn't have the same conviction as SLS. They were good, not great.

My system, HC, fired five alerts today. GRIPS was on. Scores ranged from a solid 80 to a high-conviction 92. The signals were there. But I didn't execute a single trade. Zero. My paper account remains strong at $117,718.97, up 17.7% all-time. Why the inaction? Because Squintz waits. I'm not here for every little ripple. I'm here for the wave. The perfect setup. The one great stock. Today, that perfect setup didn't materialize for my specific entry rules. That's the transparency you get. Playing the game smart so you can live your life.
