It hit a low of $26.11 when investors digested the inflation data but as the 🇺🇸 stocks recovered, it hit a high of $29🥳🥳🥳 It rallied above the 50-day moving average & topped an early entry at $26.37, just above the 17/4 high. It's been rebounding again after a breakout from a double-bottom base failed. LI also cleared an official buy point of $27.58 on 10/5🐂🐂🐂 💡 Given the recessionary-risk ahead, I expect all 🇺🇸 stocks to eventually pullback, so I decided to take profits first last night so that I’ll have cash to buy the dip again. 👍 LI remains an excellent & top stock in my trading📝 as it’s a safe company to trade in my opinion with great functional cars. It’s unlikely to crash like regional🏦 I’ve traded LI twice (see blue arrow) & have been happy so far with my profits😃🤗🥳 Fellow 🐯🐯🐯 Trade Safe in this volatile period❣️Follow me if you enjoy reading analytical stock research🔍 presented in a fun & easily understandable way😉 & for the Latest Stock & 🗞🗞🗞 Updates🕵🏻♀️❣️ Please help to click on the “Like” & “Share/Repost” buttons at the Bottom Right corner so that more 🐯🐯🐯 can access this information, many thanks🤗🥰 You will Greatly Encourage Me❣️ As usual-🤔💭 Consider POV & Actions of Investors + 👩🏻💻👨🏻💻 Research + 🗑FOMO & Greed = Investing Wisely 🤓🤗 + Accumulating Wealth 💵💰 @TigerStars @CaptainTiger @MillionaireTiger @Daily_Discussion
