So far today I’ve made two new long trades on the day – the first one in Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) at $31.74 and the second in GT Advanced Technologies (GTAT) at $6.73 – so far I’m getting the feeling of being duped on my timing on the entry in conjunction with the market.
But as is always the case with trading, things can change around very quickly and the key is to remain disciplined and follow the stops that I have in place.
But technically both stocks look great, its just that based on where I got in at.
If one isn’t careful, it can completely change the look and feel of the trade and cloud one’s judgement on how to manage it.
With that said, I’m going to keep the GTAT setup as my long setup of the day, because if it can re-break that 6.71 level, we could see it breakout like I originaly expected it to do.
Here’s today’s lazy trades.
LONG: GT Advanced Technologies
SHORT: O’Reilly Automotive (ORLY)
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.
Each year I like to take a moment to reflect on my swing trading from the prior year. The 2025 trading year offered a lot to be happy about, but it also changed my views in a number of ways and gave me some lessons to take from it, as well as some new perspectives to take into 2026 as I navigate the stock market for yet another year. I'm hoping this moment of reflection in this podcast episode will be as beneficial for you as it was for me in making it.
