Just one video today… I was out for a lot of the day, away from the markets. I normally take off Thursdays, but I moved it back to Friday this week. I thought I wouldn’t miss much on OPEX day. Boy, was I wrong! What a big down day! But, I did manage to make a stock trade and a futures trade, for 2 wins. Not bad, I guess… One of these days, I will manage to really capitalize on one of these huge market moves. I never seem to get much out of them, even when I am trading.

Hopefully Monday will be a big reaction day.

[Edit: check out today's pre-market episode of Suck My Nasdaq....

... I watched it after the close, which makes it pretty hilarious when he says "Here's what I do know... the market's not going to go down." What timing!]

Was done with stocks by 9:40ish… This video shows my watchlist for the morning, and my 3 Trades for 2 wins and 1 loss. A nice gain on the day, especially since it only took about 10 minutes. If I got a little luckier on my exit on BCSI, it would have been a huge gain day. Oh well!

It takes a lot of practice and experience to get there, but I do believe you can make a nice living at the open. Now, I will eat breakfast, and move on to futures. I don’t know if I’ll make a stock-specific video every day, but I felt like it this morning.

Three trades today (commentary is on the charts), and three trades last wednesday which I didn’t get a chance to post last week. I didn’t trade Thursday or Friday last week, so this brings us up to date.

First, from today, there’s Lyondell Chemical Company (NYSE: LYO):

… and two trades on Sotheby’s (NYSE: BID):

Then, from Last Wednesday, there’s Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN):

… and two on National Financial Partners Corp. (NYSE: NFP):

It’s been a NYSE couple weeks, I guess.
