Hey Guys,
The market went down some over the weekend. The S&P 500 started the morning down 35 points, although it's already shown signs that it might want to work its way back up.
I had two stock positions reach their time limits this morning: VFC and ADP. Both nudged out profits. That brings me up to seven straight winning stock trades, and a win-loss record of 18-2 over my last 20 trades.
I took on some new trades today. In the stocks account, I bought positions for OKTA and MCHP. In the options account, I bought the options for those same tickers.
A quick note about tomorrow's watch list for those who use it (this only applies to options): the options will show an expiration date of Jan 2, but in my live trades, I will use an expiration date of Jan 9. This same issue came up last week. By chance the holiday in each week lands on a Thursday, which isn't typical, and the watch list doesn't know to move the expiration date forward by one week in that circumstance. This applies only to options on tomorrow's watch list. It has nothing to do with stocks. And if you don't use the watch list, you can ignore this note altogether.
If you have any questions, just reply directly to this email.
