  • The Short Watch List Ahead Of The FOMC Statement

    The Fed is the next likely headline risk for the market.  No one knows which way the  market wants to go after the Fed announces its statement, and it is probably for that very reason that the market has stalled out over the past three trading session, and the ever so hot small caps are

  • Swing-Trading Strategy Report #511

    My Swing Trading Strategy I added one new trade to the portfolio yesterday, but in terms of adding more long exposure at this point, I may hold off, until I can see with a bit more certainty as to whether this market wants to challenge new all-time highs or not. For sure, I’ll be increasing

  • Swing-Trading Strategy Report #510

    My Swing Trading Strategy I added two new trades to the portfolio yesterday. Having gotten out of SPXU on Tuesday was a sigh of relief, as yesterday’s rally in SPX would have otherwise wiped out my profits. On the flip side, I had to bail on my SBUX position yesterday due to a gap

    My Swing Trading Strategy I’m under the threat of a hurricane today, so that makes trading a little dicey for me today. Power could go out, internet/cell coverage could go down. As a result, my focus today will likely be to manage the existing positions and nothing else.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – A 6.2% pop

    My Swing Trading Strategy Closed out my two short positions early yesterday, and flipped the script and added two long positions to my already existing long position. I may add one additional long position today, depending on how the market performs.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – It surprises me that the VIX isn’t dropping more than

  • Swing-Trading Strategy Report #506

    My Swing Trading Strategy I’m likely to be forced out of my two short positions, while riding my one long position higher. I am open to add one to two new long positions, but until we break out of this four week consolidation pattern, I am not going to put a lot of confidence in

  • Swing-Trading Strategy Report #505

    My Swing Trading Strategy I added one additional short position yesterday to the portfolio, while keeping the existing portfolio and balance the same.

  • Swing-Trading Strategy Report #504

    My Swing Trading Strategy I closed out my position in QID for a +2% profit. Not thrilled about the ultimate outcome of that trade, especially considering how well the futs were performing Sunday night, but that is the stock market for you, what the current situation happens to be doesn’t denote its ultimate outcome. I
