Bella answers the Question from his post on Friday about whether he should have bought UPS in front of 60.08 after it broke out from that level on the Open.
SMB Morning Rundown – January 11, 2010
Today, the Market appears set to open higher. The levels we are watching in the SPY are 114.50(sup) and 115.12(res). Below 114.50 the next support level is 114.30. Above 115.12, we could see upside to 115.90. Our best AM Idea for today, which we highlighted in our AM Meeting is to buy YGE if it holds above 18.60. Tgt: 19.70 … Read More
Was I Correct Not to Make this Trade?
I just spent thirty minutes writing in my trading journal about a trade I did not make. I am pretty sure the young trader recently moved next to me thought this was a little odd. And then I got up and walked around our trading floor (btw very nice digs) and talked to anyone who would talk back about the … Read More
SMB Morning Rundown for January 8, 2010
Today the market is selling off a bit in the pre-market following a worse than expected jobs report. The key levels we are watching in the SPYs are 114, and 114.30 for Resistance, and 113.60 for support. Our best AM idea is UPS. Seeing lots of strength on upward guidance in the pre-market. Look for a hold above 60.

Sell Before the Number
GMan and the desk was VERY long HAL going into the oil number at 10:30 AM. I would tell you how long but it was probably more long than we should have been. We were in a Trade2Hold and HAL was working. But then most on the desk did something very smart for the intraday trader. They lightened up before … Read More
