Shorting Stocks

Swing Trade Approach: Here’s the thing, if you get in on a day like today, where the market was contained, pretty much, in a five point range, you aren’t playing for today, but for the expectation that the market is going higher in the days ahead and you don’t want to find yourself chasing a

Swing Trade Approach: Plenty of trade setups out there still, surprising, considering how much this market has risen in the past few months. Volume still remains above average and actually building upon volume levels from Friday. Still, you must be keep sliding your stops on your existing trades higher, so as to not risk losing

My Swing Trades A bunch of trade setups triggered today in the Splash Zone. One in particular that was my favorite was the almost 6% pop in Trinity Industries (TRN). Still waiting for Splunk (SPLK) to break out but long last it looks like it is falling apart without ever the chance of breaking out of the continuation triangle

In this market it always feels like keeping a short watch-list is a waste of time. But it’s not.  These watch-lists I put out every week, actually create some incredible returns for traders. Now granted, in a raging bull market that seems to be putting in new all-time highs day after day, after day, yeah,

My Swing Trades I didn’t take any trades today, but managed to scalp a little $ROKU on the way up in the morning, but that was about it. Still holding one long and one short position as swing-trades. At this point, any new long position in a growth stock is a high risk trade,

My Swing Trades I added one new trade to the long side, while keeping my sole short position in the portfolio, and also dumping NUE for a -1% loss, soon after the open. With the market still buying the dips at every turn, but only enough to get the market back to break even, it makes it
