Current Long Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): TICC (9.62), BRKR (13.92), CVX (80.67), DAL (11.12), ELY (6.78), ITW (46.40), SSO (38.70), QQQQ (48.19), FRG (6.99), URS (37.12), TIE (19.52), BEAV (29.54)
Current Short Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): None
BIAS: 76% Long
Economic Reports Due Out (Times are EST): Jobless Claims (8:30am), EIA Natural Gas Report (10:30am), Consumer Credit (3pm)
My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures are slightly positive (again)
- Jobless Claims could have a big impact to the system, though often times of late, we get big swings initially, but ultimately wind up where we were to begin with.
- I count it positive that the bulls managed to hold on to Tuesday’s large gains.
- Nasdaq was a lag on the market, due to some big sell-offs like EQIX, NFLX, CRM, and BIDU – the latter three of which saw parabolic increases in their share prices this year.
- Tech leaders like Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) both saw increases yesterday, which helps to alleviate my concern in the Nasdaq yesterday.
- It is important for the bulls to continue holding the 1150 level on the S&P and ultimately advance well beyond 1160 level.
- Asian and European markets are flat.
- The S&P has bounced nicely off of its Monday pullback (higher-low)
- The main objective for the bears is two fold – 1) Close below yesterday’s lows, and 2) Ultimately close below Tuesday’s lows.
- There is a minor resistance level at 1174, which is the only real road block between it and testing the April highs.
- While the S&P has broken out of consolidation, the Nasdaq is still stuck in it.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- Added one new position to the portfolio yesterday – BEAV at $31.71
- I am keeping my stops where they currently are.
- May consider adding more long positions – though small in size – to the portfolio.
- I am not at all hedged in my portfolio right now.

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.
