The market has been about as boring as watching grass grow in a desert. However, this range bound market heading into the final hour of this week, looks like it could make a run to finish green for the 6th consecutive day – but it’s only pure speculation at this point. But the chart is starting to look better for the first time all day.
Today’s shorts include Goldman Sachs which I took off of my long watchlist and moved it over to my short watch-list instead once I noticed the bear wedge emerging.
Then You have Mentor Graphics (MENT) which is beginning to breakout and look very promising with its saucer pattern.
As always – the red line on the chart represents my desired stop-loss and the horizontal blue line is my desired entry price.
Here’s Today’s Lazy Trades.
LONG: Mentor Graphcis (MENT)
SHORT: Goldman Sachs (GS)
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 today's episode, I tackle a listener email covering a variety of swing trading topics, including the benefits of cash accounts, T+1 settlements, options trading using straddles, and even straddling the indices with leveraged ETFs. I'll also discuss whether new traders should be trading options and the ramifications that come with skipping over trading equities and jumping into options trading instead. Lots of insights packed into this one!
