My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures are taking a hit this morning – particularly Nasdaq due to the Apple earnings released yesterday.
- Goldman Sachs (GS) and Bank of America (BAC) will be the main focus of the market today. Other notables include Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Coca-Cola (KO).
- This is turning into probably one of the more interesting markets sessions we’ve seen this year with the abundance of earnings news being reported. .
- Be very careful in the market today and weary of a potential meltdown – keep the stops tight.
- BAC earnings report is being received unfavorably by The Street.
- S&P needs to watch 1166 and whether the market holds it, if tested.
- Housing Starts is the most important economic report due out this morning.
- Dip Buyers have one heck of a task on their hands today if they want to see this market finish positive on the day.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- Stopped out of PAG for a 2% gain. Closed out ACI for a small loss (-2.3%), and TIE for a small loss (-3%).
- Added ESRX and ANN at the market close.
- Added AAPL in after hours action at $297.41. Will keep a tight leash on this one.
- Not hedged heading into the open.
- Stop-loss changes made in BRKR and ITW.
- ITW reports earnings this morning. Action in this stock will be significant one way or the other.
- Could add an additional position to the portfolio under the right circumstances.
- I’ve become much tighter/aggressive with the stop-losses, and more willing to take profits once there is any hesitation in the stock itself (i.e.
- Will continue to tighten stop-losses as much as possible.

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.
When should you increase your position size for swing trading in the stock market? Does the percentage that we dedicate to each of our swing trades change over the years or is it etched in stone? In this podcast episode, Ryan goes over his reason for increasing his position size in trading and what can lead a person to doing that for themselves.
