• Here's my one and only trade so far this morning - a wild trade for sure when volatility is at its peak, so stop-losses are a must with this one. I have about half the normal position size that I would use on a trade, so that allows me to have a fairly generous spread

  • I've never actually traded this stock before, despite the fact that it is listed on the S&P 500, however, the clearly marked support and resistance levels are undeniable.

  • Amazon.com (AMZN) has one of the more appealing setups to benefit from should this market continue to bounce as it has today (Make sure to check out my previous post on my market observations from today). With AMZN, you have a stock that has not sold off to the same degree that the market has

  • Here are five plays that you need to be playing close attention to this morning. The one stock that I've already gotten into this morning was GLUU, but with the volatility associated with this play, It wouldn't surprise me if there was a few more opportunities to get in it. The remaining four stocks have

  • It has been a busy morning so far today. So far I’ve made 4 trades on the day (3 of which are listed below), but have yet to book gains in anything. So far, the market just seems to be content on a slow melt-up today. There are definitely some gaps to fill on the
