Sometimes a stock is too popular or, in stock market parlance, it’s overbought. By our work, such is the case for Roblox (RBLX) . The stock hit a low of $50.10 on April 7. Since then, it’s up more than 100% to around $101. On May 9, 2024, shares traded as low as $25.55. They have surged more than 240% during that time. Here’s what to do: If long: Trim, sell calls, reduce exposure, take measures of some kind, do something before — as they say — someone does it for you. If not involved: Stay away. If engaged in short selling: Sell. Roblox is not for the faint of heart, as the chart below shows. Shares are trading in an increasingly steep, uncorrected advance, far above its smoothing mechanism (150-day moving average). We are sellers. DISCLOSURES: None.
