Slight jitters of Amazon beat is overcome

Last evening Amazon dropped around 8 percent on the news of their earnings expectation loss.  Today they recovered most of it back because of the why the market is intrinsically tied together.  All of the other news of earnings beats today rallied the S&P 500 to near record levels and AMZN jumped on the rocket back up!

Locally I added position to JD as I discussed yesterday bringing my
Portfolio to 800 shares at average acquisition price of  30.576.  I’m looking to dump these at slightly below resistance peak which I estimate is 31.5.  I’ve set a limit sale at 31.4.

The other asset in the portfolio, BABA has also benefitted from the great news today and I am still gauging whether to hold on or drop it off at a relatively soft resistance point of 177.

Update
JD Sold!
Purchase 800x30.57= 24,461
Sale 800x 31.15= 24,920

Rationale:
Appeared as though there was strong resistance at 31.2, decided to exit before the “elevator” arrived.

Profit= $459

Be Beary Weary about Apple.

Scouting shows that earnings at Apple might drop the most since 2001.  There’s a lot of volume with downward motion today... and it is my opinion that it will continue its decline. Short Position added: AAPL 400*246.13= -98,452 Mistake closed : XNET bought 1000 @ 5.86 = $5,860 XNET SOLD 1000 @ 4.85 = $4,850 Loss = $ 1,010 *lesson * don’t buy at the top, this was a possible pump and dump..at least we got out quick.

Added position to BABA

Looks like a bargain to me , BABA has floored this morning in pre-morning trading in the 169’s. Waited until 170 to confirm trend reversal and added 600 shares @ 170 prior to market open.  Later morning news from Vertical Group confirms agreement in trend direction . Recommend holding until at least 180, which seems to be an important resistance point at this time.
