Stock Market ETF Strategy And How To Invest
Stock Market Rally
The stock market snapped back from Friday's sell-off, as the major stock indexes closed with sharp gains Monday.
On Monday, The Big Picture commented: "Judging by how the major indexes did, regular readers of this column could easily see that fund managers showed more optimism for large and megacap names. They favored technology, some cyclical, and a smidgen of dividend-paying utility sectors. But they also showed a salty view toward other areas of the market."

Dow Jones Earnings: Salesforce
Dow Jones software leader Salesforce (CRM) bullishly regained its 50-day benchmark during Monday's 4.4% climb. Shares remain extended past a 275.32 buy point in a cup with handle despite their recent pullback.
Late Tuesday, Salesforce earnings per share are expected to fall 89% to 92 cents from a year ago. Salesforce revenue is expected to climb 25% to $6.8 billion
Stock Market Earnings: Ambarella, NetApp, Zscaler
Ambarella (AMBA), NetApp (NTAP) and Zscaler (ZS) will report their quarterly earnings results after the close Tuesday.
Chip designer Ambarella is expected to earn 49 cents per share on sales of $90.3, representing year-over-year increases of 444% and 61%, respectively. The stock found much-needed support at its 50-day line Monday.
NetApp's earnings are expected to grow 15% to $1.21 per share year over year on revenue of $1.55 billion. NTAP shares are tracing a flat base with a 94.79 buy point. Shares are trading back above their key 50-day moving average after Monday's 3.6% rise.
Cybersecurity leader Zscaler is expected to earn 12 cents per share on sales of $212 million. Shares closed Monday just 5% off their 52-week high following Monday's 5.65% advance.
Stocks To Buy And Watch: Nucor, Pioneer, Pfizer, Zim
IBD Leaderboard stock Nucor has been trying to break out past a 119.42 buy point out of a cup-with-handle base, but is sharply below the entry after Monday's 1.7% decline. Shares are about 6% below the latest entry.
Drug giant Pfizer is on the cusp of being extended past a 51.96 buy point in a cup base following a strong breakout on Friday in the wake of the newly discovered omicron variant. Shares reversed 3% lower Monday but are still above the buy point. The 5% buy zone tops out at 54.56.

EV Stocks: Li Auto, Xpeng, Lucid Motors, Rivian
Li Auto is trying to break out past a cup-with-handle base's 34.93 buy point. The stock surged as much as 11.1% Monday before paring gains to 6.4% after the company reported quarterly earnings results ahead of the market open. Shares closed just below the entry.
The Tesla rival said it lost 6 cents a share adjusted, missing analyst targets. But revenue shot up 210% in local currency to $1.21 billion, beating the Street's estimates. Li Auto delivered 25,116 vehicles in the third quarter. The company said fourth-quarter revenue should jump 113%-127% in local currency to $1.37 billion-$1.46 billion.
Xpeng Motors is extended past its 48.08 buy point in a choppy cup base following last week's sharp gains. XPEV shares rose 0.5% Monday.
Lucid Motors shares traded up 6.5% Monday, more than recovering from Friday's 1.6% decline. LCID stock remains far extended past a 28.49 buy point in a cup-with-handle base.
Hot initial public offering Rivian rose 6.8% Monday, snapping a two-day losing streak and rebounding from Friday's 2.4% loss.
RIVN shares closed Monday about 33% off their post-IPO highs. The decline is a potential positive for investors remaining disciplined and waiting for an IPO base to form before considering a purchase. The recent weakness is the start of Rivian's first base formation, but the last two weeks of price action weren't very constructive given the sharp losses.
Tesla Stock
Tesla stock rallied over 5% Monday, recovering from Friday's 3.05% skid. Shares traded as high as 1,243.49 on Nov. 4, but the stock ended Monday about 9% off its 52-week high.
TSLA shares remain sharply above a 764.55 buy point in a cup with handle, as well as earlier entries at 700.10 and 730. The chart also showed an alternate entry at 900.50.
Dow Jones Leaders: Apple, Microsoft
Among the top Dow Jones stocks, software giant Microsoft moved up 2.1% Monday, nearly erasing the entirety of Friday's 2.4% decline.
On Oct. 18, Microsoft stock broke out past a flat base's 305.94 buy point. The 5% buy zone topped out at 321.24, so the stock is extended.
