Quick end of day thoughts

We took some gains from the rally by selling our entire MS bucket 2 position to the ducks for good profits and did the same with our IWM bucket 2 long position, but only half of it. Tomorrow's non-farm payrolls number looms large and we want to remain nimble going into it.  we expect the […]

Profit Taking in MS and IWM

we closed our bucket 2 long position in MS for profits  also took half off of our IWM Bucket 2 long position for profits

WYNN is retesting its neckline now for resistance.  if this can hold as resistance the next swing should be towards the final target of $90.  we remain in half of our original short position after taking profits earlier this week

The stock has been a long-time underperformer and after lagging all year on Monday did not make a new low for the year like the broader market did.  the stock held support at the blue downtrend line and $15 support area.  It looks […]

That has brought a number of the major U.S. and European equity indices into initial resistance areas in the near-term.  On the S&P 500 hourly chart in specific we note that the 4% rally since Monday’s close […]
