My Observations and What to Expect:
- No significant/market mover news pieces scheduled for today.
- Today will mainly be about market’s response to Apple’s (AAPL) blowout earnings.
- Other companies reporting this morning include: Coca-Cola (KO), United Technologies (UTX), Morgan Stanley (MS), Wells Fargo (WFC), Altria (MO), AMR (AMR), BlackRock (BLK), EMC (EMC), Airgas (ARG), Genzyme (GENZ), Textron (TXT), USBancorp (USB), Stanley Black and Decker (SWT), Abbott Labs (ABT) and Manpower (MAN). eBay (EBAY), Starbucks (SBUX), Baidu (BIDU), Xilinx (XLNX)
- Despite the rally yesterday no technical damage has been done to the bear argument that this market still goes lower from here.
- Still below the 50 and 200 day moving averages. No new highs have been made yet.
- Volume increased from previous day but still below the average and below Friday’s sell-off.
- A close above 1,100 on the S&P (futures) would be cause for alarm for bears – there would be a higher-high and higher low formed on the charts.
- Current trend-line on S&P breaks above 1093 (futures)
- Overall the market not up nearly as much as I thought it would be due to Apple earnings. Eerily similar to the Intel (INTC) earnings reaction.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- Yesterday’s rally has put me back in capital preservation mode
- I don’t want to abandon my short positions at all, but I can’t let another rally put a licking on me like it did yesterday. Will use a Ultra 3x as necessary.
- I don’t expect to be adding any new short positions to the portfolio today.

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.
