Dryships back in trading range
Dryships is back in the trading range that started in October last year and might have found support around $3.23 yesterday. The ATR trailing stop is still keeping me in the trade and it would have to close below $3 … Continue reading

Dryships (DRYS) is approaching an area of demand around $3.60 – $3.50 where I would like to buy some shares. After the parabolic move at the end of December, it was only natural to have a correction. It has given … Continue reading

The junk bond ETF (JNK) is breaking out off a trading range that started back in October last year. I am looking for a target around $42 with a stop just below $40.50 for a Reward / Risk of 4:1
EEM Short Trade Triggered
Sometimes you have to be patient for price to come back to where an entry makes sense. The MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) just offered a low risk, high reward short entry for me. As I discussed in a previous … Continue reading
