Friday October 6th
Today is Friday, the last trading day of the week, and I have quite a few thoughts rolling around my head. One of the biggest is the employment report. Why? The Markets are on fire, The NASDAQ just broke out , following the SPX, DJIA, and RUT - which have been on fire. What if the Jobs report disappoints? What if the hurricane that hit Texas and then another one that hit Florida disrupts the employment numbers and caused more than expected to report that they are not working?
Well, again, it is Friday the last trading day of the week, so lets just look at what is in front of us as of Thursday nights close.
SPY - What a solid run higher after the break out. No change here.
IWM - I used this chart in the comments / chat section yesterday to simply show why I would use a 'trailing stop' rather than just selling my position when it gets to a point of 'overbought'. You would not be forced to sell in a runaway move, you just ride the gains until the top is in.
