Retraction

It frequently happens after a big day like yesterday...a kind of correction back to the average.  That being said, my focus today was on short sales. From yesterday we locked in Macy's big gain and today acted on it!

shortsale
M 5000 @ 16.60 = $ 83.000
M 5000 @ 16.20 = $ 81,000

Gain= $ 2,000


Furthermore- I've opened a short position in LYFT that is losing right now but the numbers indicate it will eventually turn out to be correct being that analysis shows 1year, 6 month and 3 month charts of this company projecting downward.  It's relative in the industry, UBER, was pounded yesterday with a near 10% loss, it is following up today with another 3.5 % decline as of this writing and is expected to fall further as it exits from IPO protection later in the day and investors will be able to drop shares.  It is my projection that the fall in UBER will once again drag LYFT down with it.


*lesson* I probably pulled the trigger too soon on this one and could have set my short at 42+

medium play:

SHORT SALE:
LYFT 2000 @ 40.93

Will also be looking to play a long game with retailers WMT (walmart) and TGT (target) later in the day or later in the week depending on market movement.

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.
