On Today’s show Steve discussed one technique for trading right on the Open. Stocks discussed were FMCN, LVS and SPY.
A Perfect Example – $JBL
$JBL had earnings, so it was not a huge surprise to see it on our In Play list on the Radar. Still, a reading of 7.7 is good even for a stock with earnings.
