Today’s Picks

We’re going to open today with the VIX up 12%. The QQQ & SPY will be down over 1%. That’s not a reason to panic but it’s certainly not a reason to get aggressive. I’m going to relax today. I’ll be watching DAVE (great chart, great earnings) and HTZ (flipped to profitable quarter, chart not as good). But realistically I don’t want to be in a huge rush to add new risk. Megacaps I own were strong yesterday but seem to be giving it back this morning. We can easily recover this today. My stops are not going to hit so I’ll just wait to see what happens.

So my best idea today is to just sit on your hands and watch the market. There’s no rush and there are going to be far better days and catalysts to lump on the risk.

Short term cautious/bearish. Honoring my trade plan and letting the price action guide me.
