The market has been extended for almost a week. Like we talked about in my webinar with the Nasdaq last week, that’s typically a good time to hedge. However, one key piece of this is waiting for some type of trigger. Because, if you don’t, then you’re just fighting the positive momentum higher.

Next, came a few transportation stocks and the first of the Nasdaq 100 components (NDX) — Netflix (NFLX). Next week, is when the real volatility will kick up, as the earnings calendar continues to fill up. What are some key reports I’ll be watching and possibly trading? Here’s a list for next week… Monday, … Read more
