• Busy morning, as the early strength knocked me out of two of my holdings in Silgan Holdings (SLGN) and Hilltop (HTH). However, not to be outdone, and still working within the parameters of my trading system, I jumped back into 2 more short positions and then went long on an UltraShort ETF of the S&P

  • Now to be completely honest, things aren’t looking too good for this trade in particular. I got in early Friday morning, when everything seemed to be pointing to the resumption of the bear market. That didn’t happen!

However, word to the wise, I don’t recommend going out right now and shorting these stocks, as the market is sitting in oversold conditions. I would wait for a

  • As I continue to patiently wait for the market to work off its oversold conditions I look for opportunities on an intraday basis that I believe provides a good risk-reward opportunity. Often times, it is when the market hits price extremes for the day, and has either topped or bottomed out. But I don't get

  • Things have no doubt turned drastically bearish in the past week. Whether the sentiment remains is anyone’s guess. However, it doesn’t hurt to begin preparing for what could be a major correction. I mean let’s face it, it is not like we are in the best of economic environments right now, so there is no
