Since mid-April, one of the strongest industry sector ETFs in the market has been Market Vectors Semiconductor ($SMH). We initially bought this ETF when it broke out back in April, sold into strength for a 9% gain several weeks later, then re-entered with partial share size after it began pulling back (May 23). As the […]
In this May 3 post on our trading blog, we said now is NOT the time to step on the gas pedal in your trading operations. We also suggested that sometimes the best move in stock trading is to play defense, and that now may be one of those times. In the trading session that […]
After an impressive, five-month rally that was quite persistent, stocks finally took a rest and registered their largest weekly losses of the year last week.
