February 15, 2008
A mixed day for the indices as investors seemed disinterested in giving the markets any notice ahead of a three-day weekend. With that being said, the markets received a batch of negative economic reports in regards to manufacturing, consumer confidence and import prices. Heading into next week, you have to hope we don’t start the week the same way we did last month coming off of the MLK holiday, and for that reason it seemed as if investors were a bit tentative committing any of their capital ahead of the long weekend. We will need to see a reversal in investor sentiment next week, as the technicals on the indices continued to worsen as the week wore on, and talk of the ‘R’ word crept back into conversations.
Overall, a flat week and we have some damage to repair on the charts if we are going to turn this ship around.
Let’s review the charts…
NASDAQ traded down for most of the day, before a half-hearted rally towards the close helped matters out. We are still coming off of overbought conditions and will likely feel some of the same selling pressures again next week that we have been seeing the past couple of days.

The S&P was the only index that managed to finish in the green, albeit just barely. Even so, investors will be happy with the result heading into next week. Whether the index can hold the lows from earlier this month, will provide us a great opportunity to see where this market might be heading.
We are currently working on adding a new feature to the website called the “Shareplanner Stock Screener”. We believe that this feature will give our readers more tools at their disposal and ideas for various types of stocks to trade and invest in regardless of the market conditions. Stay Tuned!
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 this podcast episode, Ryan turns his attention to surviving a stock market crash as well as the actions that he has taken to be profitable during the down turn with his trading, and doing so without a heavy emphasis on shorting stocks.
