Even though, the NASDAQ had already broken through the moving average, all three averages nonetheless, had been struggling for much of May to regain its footing as they remained in a pattern of consolidation during that time.

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.
In today's episode, I tackle a listener email covering a variety of swing trading topics, including the benefits of cash accounts, T+1 settlements, options trading using straddles, and even straddling the indices with leveraged ETFs. I'll also discuss whether new traders should be trading options and the ramifications that come with skipping over trading equities and jumping into options trading instead. Lots of insights packed into this one!
