It was a quiet day in the stock market. Our swing-trades in Apple (AAPL) broke out very nicely and in a text book fashion. We got out of our long position in LUK for a 0.9% loss simply because it wasn’t behaving as I intended the trade to. So instead of holding on to it longer than necessary and increasing my risk, I dumped the stock and will wait for it to re-emerge as an ideal long setup again.

That could be tomorrow, could be next week or never. The thing is, I don’t believe in holding a stock simply for the purposes of hope. Its either performing or its not. 

We added one additional long position today in JAH and its is off to a great start, and Oscar’s day-trading performance today netted another $300 on our $25,000 portfolio trading names like TWTR, SCTY, and JOSB.
