    SHORT A 48.62
    STOP 48.73
    TGT 48.4

    - I missed the open, come back to SPY which gapped down, tried to retrace and tanked after 10am
    - SPY sells hard after 10am, look for a stock weaker than the market

    LONG SNDK 50.71
    StOP 50.51
    TGT 51.11

    - SPY ranging at the lows
    - SNDK in a world of it's own, long over the bar
    - dumb trade, shouldn't have been long without a SNDK pullback or a show of strength from SPY
    - out -0.22
