Getting going

Monica Kingsley Monicakingsley

S&P 500 and Nasdaq didn‘t collapse after the opening bell, but did a great regular session fakeout, and rolled over to the downside before the close – I‘ve warned clients about QQQ retracing to 608 premarket, all of them knew about aftermarket pumps and fidgety markets with my clear bias – and that served them great premarket (fine short NDX call), and last but not least, intraday update was issued already yesterday for swing trading clients.

Treat yourself to the chart preview of Trading / Stock Signals analytics – today will be wild, and in a good way! Institutional buying before the close was wrong, and we have the agility advantage as retail – so much easier to be locking in profits while they‘re there.

Kevin Warsh takes the Fed helm: What it means for the US Dollar

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?
