Swing Trader Pro: Afternoon Briefing (08-16-2023)

From the Desk of Kimmy Sokoloff

August and September are not for the faint of heart.

After the release of the July FOMC minutes today the market headed straight down. I guess it wasn't happy about the potential for more rate hikes.

The indices have had a decent pull-in since the beginning of August. We just have to be aware of a dead-cat bounce.

Here are today’s trades:

  • I bought $TSLA at 231.44 and sold at 232.60.
  • I bought $SPY at 443.55 and sold at 444.08.
  • I shorted $CELH at 181.70 and covered at 180.70.
  • I shorted $HD at 336.20 and covered at 335.60.

I have open long positions in $VXX, $MRNA, and $TGT.

I have open short positions in $QQQ, $KLAC, and $NFLX.

Have a great evening. Look for the Morning Briefing on Thursday.

And please reach out with any questions.
