Do you hear that chanting folks, Those are the battling cries of thousands upon thousands of stock market chosen people coming from far and from wide. With one simple question, and that question is what? What? Charlie are the top three stocks for this week? But first, of course, we must recap last week's picks. Last Sunday, we talked about how online sports betting was going to go live in Michigan and I speculated about opportunities in regards to that. Well, that speculation was wrong.

Gee, thanks Charlie. Penn was only up a poultry amount and draft kings only down a paltry amount. Bad speculation so far, Charlie, but I am still bullish on the two stocks. Next, we talked about how lemonade was going to bottom last week and that did indeed come true.

It rose from 140 to 154 after bottoming out. Yeah, no to mention we recapped on Friday, but it's up a bit over 50 since we put out our price target on it a couple weeks back. Don't chase this one though. If you're not already in it, get it at a dip.

Our Julia play. We've had a 90 price target on this bad boy for months and it was up 25 on Friday, breaking into all-time highs. and lastly, our Charlie play. I put a price target of one ravishing like button and one subscribe button on him and we are yet to see that prediction come true.

Maybe you guys can make that happen. But anyways, folks, before we get into this week's picks, let me drink my traditional tea from the traditional Charlie Islands that I came from And let me remind you how important it is to be intentional with your place. If you are somebody who is taking positions based on hunches or based on a situation where you don't have any risk management, well cut it out. There is nothing wrong with riding momentum and making money on the best place the hottest place there are so long as you have a clear exit plan which includes a plan for when you're going to take profits, if you're right, and when you're gonna cut your losses if you're wrong, I understand that a lot of people are unfortunately yoloing into place.

That's stupid. Cut that out. And of course, before we get to work. Quick Plug! If you were looking to learn how to trade, would like access to our private chat and daily morning briefings where I talk about what plays.

I see the most value in as well as the latest catalysts. Well, I'll go ahead and put a link to Zip Trader you below. You've got some questions on how I personally set price targets and we have a complete lesson on how I do that in zip trader use. So if you're wondering that, that's also a feature of Zip Trader u Okay folks, well let's get to work.

So many of you guys remember Sbe and Blink both charging station plays that have gone bonkers in the last four to five months. Well, we have a new charging station play Clii So, C-l-i-i popped up from 13 to 29 upon announcing that it will be taking Evie Go public and it's already given back about 30 of that rally. But in order to understand this trading, you have to understand S-pacs You have two catalysts, the confirmation that a merger is actually going to happen between a private company and an S Back, and then the second catalyst is the actual merger happening. If you have a lot of eyes on the S-pac then you get some pre-anticipatory running during the merger talk stage before a merger deal is even made, and then you have some pre-anticipatory running up to the actual merger itself.

In the case of Clii, this largely came out of nowhere. There was a little bit of pre-anticipatory running, but not much. Here's where we stand now if you compare Clii's reaction to a similar play, Sbe, which is also still in the S-pac stage and is merging with Evie Ghost's direct competitor, Charge Point while Sbe popped on the original merger decision and it did sell off a bit for a week afterwards, but still when considering the overall context. This was an insane entry point, and I think that with Evie Go, we saw the market be a little bit smarter.

People are a little bit more aware of this phenomenon because it rallied up a lot more in the beginning than Sbe did in the beginning, signaling that investors know how big of an opportunity charging station plays are. But of course, since everybody else knows it now we have a worse entry point. But there's still a lot of opportunity here. Let's look at Evie Go and compare it to some of its competitors.

So, Evgo is the nation's largest public electric vehicle fast charging station, which features 800 stations. Now, I want to put the emphasis on fast charging stations because this is a different type of charging station. Competitors Charge Point and Blink both have significantly more stations than Evgo. But in terms of fast charging stations, Evgo controls the market.

What is a fast charging station? Well, of course it's a charging station that charges up faster than the rest. And the way that I see Evie Go is that Evie Go is a leader in the next generation of Ev chargers, whereas Chargepoint and Blink and the rest are leaders in the current generation of Ev chargers. Which means more value now for Chargepoint and Blink and the rest, but more potential value for Evgo in the future. If Evgo continues to be a leader, it takes significantly less time to charge with the stations that Evgo offers, and obviously that's where the industry is heading.

It does not take a bear with two chickens to understand that where the industry is heading is to faster charging times. It's just not practical to wait hours to charge in many situations. and Evie Go has partnerships with Tesla, Gm, Nissan, and Bmw amongst others and is projected to grow their number of stations rapidly over the next few years. So in conclusion, with this play in terms of hype potential, this is a play.

This is a next generation Ev charging company play. With already some proof of concept and some valuable business leaders, we've seen things rally in this current market condition with far less value than this. So in terms of height potential in regards to the market condition right now, I would give this an A plus. The bad news is that in terms of a long term investment, if you want me to value this over the next 10 years, I have to wait till post merger almost every single time as Pacs rally pre-merger and then they get beat down post merge and they settle much lower.

And that's when you want to buy and that's when you want to evaluate it for the long term. Right now, we haven't merged yet, so that means this is almost all high potential because we're in that pre-anticipatory stage where we could see some running up and if we get the chance now and I don't know if we're going to get that chance, I'd say that buying this under 20 is a steal and what we've seen in terms of other similar plays like Sbe, I'd be shocked if this doesn't break back into all-time highs before the merger actually goes through. Like I've said, we've seen other companies with much much less association with all these things run up much much more. If I was going to put a short-term pre-merger price target, I'd say 30, but I'd say that's a little bit conservative as well.

Question that I think we really have to ask ourselves right now is if we're going to get the traditional post merger talk dip that we've been accustomed to with most of these S-pac plays. and if we get that selling off this week, I'd say this is a great time to snap it up. Okay, next stock, We need to talk about a Cciv. So if you recall, Ccid is in talks to merge with Lucid.

Lucid is run largely by ex Tesla employees that have banded together to build a competitor to Tesla. Blah blah blah blah. Their cars offer impressive specs, designs and are going to start delivering in the spring. They will be very competitive in the U.s market.

We talked about all this stuff weeks ago, but the point is that if you recall, my projection with Cciv is that if the deal goes through, Cciv's price is going to be in the high 20s low 30s. I'm airing more on the higher end of the spectrum based on Friday's trading because we saw just how much they'd rally just on speculation. So I think I think in terms of a confirmation of the merger, it's going to be a lot higher. but Cciv and Lucid are again just going through merger talks right now and there's no confirmation yet.

So what is the latest news in terms of the speculation on how the rumor talks are going? Latest update is something that was put out by the La Times. The La Times put out a press release saying that Lucid is preparing to go public, citing a source familiar with the negotiations that the deal is near completion. Of course the speculation on this has been back and forth. We have some news outlets saying oh, hey, you know this is unconfirmed.

We don't know Cciv is going to go through. The other ones are saying oh, it's going to go through, it's going to go through So I wanted to go and evaluate the journalist here, and when I evaluated the journalist, I got this guy. Russ Mitchell. Russ Mitchell actually has a relationship with Peter Rollinson in the past, who is the Ceo of Lucid Motors, and they talked as early as last year and all the way back in 2016..

the journals that posted this obviously has a relationship with the company. Journalists is also known for covering Eevee companies and especially ones in California. Why does all this matter? Well, think about it. If an Ev journalist drops unwanted rumors on a company, they're not going to be invited back to interview at that company.

Whereas with a lot of other companies in terms of financial news reporting, a lot of the journalists don't care if they have good relationships with the company. In terms of Ev reporters, not Ev stock reporters, but Ev reporters, this is actually something that you want to have that relationship. And since this was dropped by someone that has a relationship with the company, it makes me more apt to think that Lucid both wanted the rumors to be dropped and also felt that there was some credibility to them because obviously Lucid wants to have a good relationship with the reporter as well. so they continue to get favorable stories and going back to my own speculation.

Back on the 14th, we pointed out that Andrew Lyvros is on the board of both Lucid and Cciv and likely brokered the deal between the two parties in some form, and the La Times actually finally pointed this out themselves as well. Feels good to have beat the La Times to this, but they also raised another good point. Both Cciv and Lucid have huge ties to the Saudi Wealth Fund. This is relevant because the Saudi Wealth Fund owns like half of Lucid, and the Saudi Wealth Fund has strong ties to Cciv.

It seems likely that if these talks weren't highly likely to go through in the first place, there's no way that these parties would have wasted their time talking. So again, very relevant stock this week, but it's still a gamble until we get an actual confirmation of the merger. Once we get a merger, we'll have more opportunities to buy it at probably discounted prices. You're both gonna see a huge pop and then it's gonna go down and it's gonna stabilize and then we're gonna see more running up.

Okay, and lastly, ipod and ipod. We've been talking about these for weeks, but the S Pack visionary pop-up Paulie runs these and he is on a wild search for the holy private company that these S backs are going to merge with. We've seen what his plays have done in the past and these are also going to be likely huge hype plays once he picks a partner for them. Only problem is everyone else already knows this to be true and that's why it's trading at such a high premium so we can get this at a 5 10 15 dip.

I'd say definitely snap this up, but also be aware that these are going to be power plays once he finds a merger partner.
