Sorry for getting this out to you so late this morning, I had a two-year old son up late last night ‘teething’ so I was the designated ‘pillow’ for him to lay on and he decided that he would sleep in a bit this morning – I’m not complaining though. Nonetheless, we have some positive momentum heading into the open as the Dow is up 33 points, the Nasdaq up 5 points, and the S&P up 4.5. Research in Motion (RIMM) and Oracle (ORCL) both beat earnings expectations and should provide a nice base for the market to work from today. It is also options expiration day and we could see some nice volatility – better yet it is quadruple witching, which only occurs about four times a year. It is a day in which stock index futures, stock index options, stock options and single stock futures all expire.
No other ecnomic reports to look out for today, and as we head into next week, look for volume levels to drop off significantly due to the Christmas Holidays.
Overnight Asian markets were noticeably off, while European markets, bounced back nicely posting gains of as much as 0.7%.

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.
Emotional trading will destroy one’s portfolio. Aiming to hit home runs with every trade is a sure sign that the trader is overly emotional and only cares about fast money. In this podcast episode Ryan explains how chasing after stocks like MicroStrategy (MSTR) without a plan for managing the risk can ultimately ruin a trader’s attempt at being a successful swing-trader.
