Trade Setups

Huge pop in Micron Technology (MU) yesterday that exceeded that of 8%.  Of course when that happens, you tighten the stop on that position enough to where you walk out with the majority of the gains.   But…of course…there was some profit taking by the masses and I got stopped out at $14.62. That’s

What a lathargic market, however, by no means does the lukewarm and sterile market conditions we are seeing today favor the bears one bit. Instead, it tells me that the bulls are extending their weekend a little longer.  Below are three setups that speak for themselves. In the SharePlanner Splash Zone, we just got

I’ve tried to be patient with this market today. Not try to force the issue, but after bottoming out at 1686 and pushing higher ever since, I had to join the dip crowd and add a new trade to the portfolio.  One of the stocks that is setting up really well here is Micron
