Technical Analysis

Swing Trading Strategy: I closed another portion of my Virgin Galactic (SPCE) trade for +11% profit and will ride the remaining position as long as possible. Closed my short position in Dana (DAN) for a 3% loss. I closed Shake Shack (SHAK) out flat – as it just couldn’t push its way through the

Swing Trading Strategy: Great day today. I was spooked out of a little of my Virgin Galactic (SPCE) position perhaps a little too early. I sold a third of my position for a +5% profit. Good, but I would have liked to have booked those profits may a liiiiiiittle bit later than what I did.

Swing Trading Strategy: I added two new long positions and topped it off with a “just in case” short position for the portfolio. I closed out Steris (STE) for a 1% loss – the stock has literally done nothing for me the past month or so that I have owned it. Earnings tomorrow, and no way

Swing Trading Strategy: Closed my last remaining half of the Splunk (SPLK) trade yesterday at $161.32 for a +9% profit. Also made a nice day-trade in Tesla (TSLA) that I scaled out of for a gains that were as high as +11%. One of my short positions was also stopped out – PNC for a -3% loss.

Swing Trade Approach: Big day for the market yesterday! But for me? Not so much. Software stocks all took a hit across the board, and that had been my bread and butter over the past couple of months. However, I did book +24% in my UBER trade that I had been holding since December,

Swing Trade Approach: It was a fairly quiet day of trading for me today. I did add two new trades to the portfolio, have tightened the stops on others, and will be taking profits in other trades in the days ahead, simply because I won’t be holding them through earnings. One for instance is

Just like the title says, don’t put much stock (pun intended) into this rally today. Not that it can’t last, but just today alone doesn’t undo the bearishness that has pervaded the market over the last couple of weeks. 

Swing Trade Approach: I took some partial positions off the table yesterday which included +6% in ETSY (ETSY), +5% in Splunk (SPLK), +3% in Home Depot (HD), while also cutting a couple of other positions to minimize losses following Friday’s sell-off. Also added some more short exposure to the portfolio as well. I’m open

Swing Trade Approach: Another busy day as I closed Vertex (VRTX) at 232.69 for a +6% profit, Virgin Galactic (SPCE) for a +6% profit, I took some profits in my Square (SQ) trade for a +8% profit, and reduced my exposure in my Spotify (SPOT) trade by taking a portion of that trade
