Market Awareness

Yesterday my account had a huge one day move. Mainly from existing positions. These sorts of surges are usually followed by pullbacks. I don’t see anything today that I deem to be a good new position. I think the open will be an excellent opportunity to sell some strength.

This is certainly not a calling of a top but I’ve been doing this long enough to know that trimming into strength after a day like yesterday is a rarely going to be a bad idea. Open positions are all looking great so I certainly wouldn’t be overthinking things here or getting bearish.

Hope everyone has had a great week and and capitalized on some of the fantastic movers we’ve seen.

Have a great weekend!
