My Swing Trading Strategy Profits were booked in Regions Financial (RF) for a +3.1% profit. I also closed out Square (SQ) at just a shade above break even due to the earnings and market pressures.

My Swing Trading Strategy I booked some profits yesterday with a +2.4% profit in Nike (NKE) and +2.1% in Twitter (TWTR). I had a day-trade in Square (SQ) that started out great, but couldn’t hold the gains into the close, so sold it for a small profit of +0.3%. I only have one position coming into today, so

Right now my portfolio has some very solid

My Swing Trading Strategy I took profits in Facebook (FB) on Friday for a +3% profit. I also added one other position too. I’ll be more inclined to let my current positions go to work for me this morning, and not over-extend my long exposure.  Indicators Volatility Index (VIX) – VIX dropped hard for a third straight
