Current Long Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): TICC (10.28), HRS (45.34), CEL (32.89), BMRN (25.80)
Current Short Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): TFSL (8.23), ADBE (30.10), DTV (43.30), EQR (51.15)
BIAS: 2% Short
Economic Reports Due Out (Times are EST): None
My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures are down slightly afters selling off more than 11 points from the overnight highs on the S&P contract.
- Asian and European markets are mixed, but the latter has given up most of its gains from earlier in the trading session.
- 1200 will continue to be the rally-cry for both the bulls and bears.
- While the bulls managed to close above the 20-day moving average, the 10-day has been acting as additional resistance.
- The inability to hold overnight highs, and if the bulls cannot push through 1200 early on in today’s trading session, will be a very bad sign for bears and could lead to an another sell-off in the market.
- Thursday and Friday’s strength should not be perceived as anything more than a dead-cat bounce at this juncture.
- This is what it boils down to…a break below 1189 on the S&P will be a strong indication we are putting in a ‘lower-high’, which isn’t a total game changer, but a break of 1173 over the coming days is – as it would establish a new downtrend with a ‘lower-low in place’.
- For the bulls, the 1200 price level and the 10-day moving averages must be retaken. Anything else will be indicative of failure.
- Thanksgiving week traditionally has a bullish bias.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
- Will look to add 2 new positions to the portfolio today (a long and short position).
- Tightened the stop-loss in BMRN. Will likely tighten CEL today as well.
- EQR (short) and BMRN (long) are the latest additions to the portfolio.
- May be tempted to book my gains in TFSL at some point today.

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.
