Scott Bauer’s Big 3 on Schwab Network: VRT, SOXL, and MA

Scott Bauer joined Schwab Network’s Big Three today with three trades worth watching. He is bullish on Verdiv (VRT) and Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF (SOXL) at key technical levels, and is fading the rally in Mastercard (MA) heading into a major resistance zone. Here is what he covered.

Scott covers:

  • Why VRT is his Nvidia earnings proxy and the level he is leaning on
  • His bullish case for SOXL at a key long-term support level heading into the week
  • Why he’s fading the rally in MA despite the stock’s recent momentum
  • What he’s watching at the macro level this week
