    Thx re ery; gold bear DUST up too. Right re SPXS, it and SRTY good leverage.

    Today UVXY SQQQ best gap runners.

    I tightened my trailing stops on most positions 70% of shares to bank profits in case market bounce by eod. Learned that the hard way.

    Good points, FAZ is strong recently so I bought some. Usually it's finance, small caps and tech that lead markets up and down. So FAZ TZA SQQQ look great especially if they take out 20day highs

  5. I got two nice carry-overs, SRRK and TUP I recommended to a friend in a Private thread. Still can't get myself to sell Tup.

  8. Great patients, glad you crushed it! Looking at the ten minute chart do you think I violated any rules by buying BGFV at $6.20 during its collapse? I bought it originally at $4 sold at $8, bought back at $5.9 and sold at $7.50, bought at $8 sold at $9.00. Today with no BGFV I thought it was worth the risk, would you have considered it a falling knife trade? Thanks Ken!
