• Swing Trade Approach: I closed out Nuance Communications (NUAN) at $19.82 for a nice +11% profit. I held the stock since before Christmas when I got in at $17.87. Also, I covered my short position in Advanced Auto Parts (AAP) after some crazy call action on the options started to pile in this afternoon. If someone

  • Swing Trade Approach: I added one long position yesterday, not the best start to the trade, but I also took 1/3 of my position in HD off the table for a +5.2% profit. Still building that balance between long and short positions right now, and not looking to get overly extended to the long side

  • Swing Trade Approach: So here’s the thing, I closed out Royal Caribbean (RCL), my last position at an 11.4% profit today. The sell-off today was demoralizing as my longest holding swing-trade of two months to the day was knocked out of my portfolio. Granted, I took home 11.4% on the second half and +12.6% on

  • Swing Trade Approach: Quiet day on Friday for me, until the end, when I booked some profits in Suncor (SU) for +3.3% in profits. Netflix (NFLX) was another profitable trade, and one that I had to take profit son with earnings on Tuesday. The profits taken from that trade was for +2.8%. But the best part of the

  • Swing Trade Approach: Added two new long positions on breakouts yesterday while moving my stop-losses up on a number of existing trades. A number of my positions are also tracking the moving averages and any close below them, will lead me to closing out my positions. The stock market is looking at a 3-day weekend,

  • Swing Trade Approach: Overall a profitable day. I scaled back a tad, my long exposure, while keeping my short exposure the same. Still, I’m not against adding more positions here, but I have no desire to take on a ton of new long positions. I sold half my position in Shake Shack (SHAK) for a +12%, sold half

  • Swing Trade Approach: Closed out the last half of my Beyond Meat (BYND) trade $119.95 for a +37% profit. Stopped out of my Amazon (AMZN) position for a +2% profit. It’ll be interesting to see how much the Target Sales slash trickles into the rest of retail today. I’m not being overly aggressive to the long side right

  • Swing Trade Approach: Good day for profit taking, taking half of my position off in UBER at $34.27 for a +13.7% profit, and Beyond Meat (BYND) at $94.57 for a 8% profit. In both cases, I’ll let the rest of the position ride out. I added one additional long position, and still have a number

  • Swing Trade Approach: Took off half my position in Baidu (BIDU) at $140.29 for a +9% profit, and will let the rest ride. Also closed out all together my positions in Lowe’s (LOW) and Take Two Interactive (TTWO) for +2% and +3% in profits respectively. The profits are piling up and the rally in the market is quite amazing as the bulls managed
