• Long CHKP and STZ

    I finally pulled the trigger on two trades this afternoon. The first being in Check Point Software Technologies (CHKP) at $54.19 and the second one being in Constellation Brands (STZ), which was also listed as my daily long setup this morning. I’ll likely be dumping off a few other non-performing positions by the end of

  • Afternoon Trades: HPQ and RSH

    Here are the mark ups on the trades I took this afternoon. Both stocks are valid trades to take tomorrow morning, assuming we continue the bullishness from the past two days. LONG: Hewlett-Packard (HPQ)

  • Long PEP at $69.92 & APH at $56.19

    Some activity on my end this morning, buying Pepsico (PEP) at $69.92 (I was actually wanting to get in at $70, but used a limit order instead of a stop – ugh!), and then followed up that buy with another one in Amphenol Corp (APH). I’m still a pretty big fan of tech right now,

  • Long UNH at $50.21

    Here’s my other long position that I took today – UnitedHealth Group (UNH), where I took a long position at $50.21 (as I said talked about doing in my previous post). Here’s the chart on UNH.

  • Long B at $24.92 & JBL at $21.01

    Two new trades this morning with the possibility of another two should Hatteras Financial (HTS) trigger at $28.69 and United Healthcare (UNH) at $50.21. The two that I got in this morning are doing well so far, despite little movement out of the broader markets at this point. The first one is Jabil Circuit

  • Long NTAP at $52.76

    So far the market is rebounding well today, and will look to lighten up some of my positions as well, particularly in SSO where I have a huge chunk of my capital in (40%). I’ll probably sell 3/4 of that position today and take the nice profits in hand. Also, the Silver (SLV) play

  • Daily Long and Short Setup

    Market is weak today, which if you read my trading plan this morning, comes at a bit of a surprise, because I was leaning toward seeing a bounce today – and who knows maybe we will. But for now, the mission of the bulls, has to be to plug the hole in the dam and

  • Long CVS at $36.50

    Here’s another trade that I just made in CVS Caremark (CVS) on top of the Apple (AAPL) trade that I made this morning at $348.73. CVS is positioning itself for a great breakout, assuming the the market cooperates in the coming days. If so, the stock could make a push for $38-39 without much

  • Long AAPL at $348.73

    The selling that we have seen in this market so far is not at all worrisome, in fact it is more welcomed then anything, allowing for stocks to get a breather and provide an opportunity to get in stocks a little cheaper than previously. My one and only trade so far this morning, Apple

  • Long AMAT at $15.86

    One more long position for today, and this will likely do it for me in terms of new positions. But the double bottom in Applied Materials (AMAT), coupled with a clean breakout opportunity, sucked me right into this trade here. The technology sector continues to perform well, and that is another “plus” going
