Current Long Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): TICC (9.04), BRKR (12.95)
Current Short Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): LMT (76.35)
BIAS: 3% Long
Economic Reports Due Out (Times are EST): Durable Goods Orders (8:30am), New Home Sales (10am)
My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures are slightly positive
- S&P left the door open to further declines in the days ahead, with yesterday’s bearish close.
- Break in the neckline on the inverted head and shoulders pattern, shouldn’t be a huge concern for the bulls – only if upon a bounce in price, it struggles to reclaim that critical price level.
- Market is no longer overbought.
- Next level to test for the bears is 1116 on the S&P, which represents the 200-day moving average.
- 38% Fib retracement on the S&P is at 1107. 50% is at 1094. Right now we are at the 23% retracement.
- The main goal for the bulls is to re-gather its footing, and push above the previous highs at 1148.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- I’ll be looking to add a couple additional long positions to the portfolio this morning.
- Bought BRKR @ 13.78
- Shorted LMT @ 71.67, to function as a hedge.
- Upon adding a few long positions, will not hesitate to hedge those positions with a short position (ETF – SPY), if the market wants to continue the selling pressures.
- Gap as it currently stands looks fade-worthy.

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.
