One new trade so far for me today – six longs that I’m holding in my portfolio at this point. However, we are getting some resistance off of the descending trend-line from 4/3 that is cuasing me a bit of concern. I figure this though, if we can push and close above 1374, I’ll be much more comfortable in my long positions.
As for my latest trade in Medtronic (MDT), you have a very appealing inverse head and shoulders setups, that broke out yesterday, and pulled back nicely to that level earlier this morning. Once the dip-biuyers came in, that’s when I felt comfortable with yesterday’s breakout holding (not to mention the overall market strength in general helping).
I don’t plan to make a killing off of this one, but could see a 7-8% move before it eventually runs out of steam. My stop is in at $37.44.
I’ll be providing a portfolio update later this afternoon.
Here’s the MDT trade setup.
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.
