My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures are higher after blowout earnings from Intel (INTC), but well off their highs and continue to trade lower as the morning progresses.
- Despite yesterday’s heavy buying, my projections on this market still remain that it will move much lower in the near future.
- Volume was higher than previous days, but still below average and less than previous big down days.
- Market will always try to make you squeamish in your positions, even when you are on the right side of the market – it takes joy in sowing seeds of doubt.
- If the market opens flat or in the red, could be a prelude to a significant market reversal taking place.
- Retail report at 8:30am, should have a significant impact on the market today.
- Heavy selling at end of day yesterday is a strong bearish development. Rally is a shorting opportunity until it proves it can break the high from 6/21.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- May add another 30% of my capital to the portfolio, resulting in 3-4 additional short positions.
- Will only hedge my portfolio if we move higher today, and would only do so at the close.
- Willing to take my portfolio up to as much as 110% short today.
- Target prices set for each position. Once/if reached, I will cover the entire position.
- No changes in my current stop-losses.

Welcome to Swing Trading the Stock Market Podcast!
I want you to become a better trader, and you know what? You absolutely can!
Commit these three rules to memory and to your trading:
#1: Manage the RISK ALWAYS!
#2: Keep the Losses Small
#3: Do #1 & #2 and the profits will take care of themselves.
That’s right, successful swing-trading is about managing the risk, and with Swing Trading the Stock Market podcast, I encourage you to email me (ryan@shareplanner.com) your questions, and there’s a good chance I’ll make a future podcast out of your stock market related question.
In this podcast episode, Ryan talks about how he uses profit multiples for taking profits on his swing-trades, and how not everyone of your trades that are winners will be 2:1 or 3:1 multiples of the amount that you risked on the trade.
Be sure to check out my Swing-Trading offering through SharePlanner that goes hand-in-hand with my podcast, offering all of the research, charts and technical analysis on the stock market and individual stocks, not to mention my personal watch-lists, reviews and regular updates on the most popular stocks, including the all-important big tech stocks.
