Hey Guys,
The market had a pretty nice day yesterday but is down to start today. The overall direction of the market has been sideways for the last few weeks, but with a lot of volatility along the way.
My STX stock trade reached its time limit, so I manually closed that at the opening bell using a market sell order.
That one locked in a profit. My AFL stock position, on the other hand, hit its stop loss this morning. That one took a big hit out of the gate and just never recovered. I have an option position open for AFL, too, but I still have a couple days left before that one reaches its time limit. We'll see if it can turn around before then.
I took on some new trades today, all for companies in the Financial sector. In the stocks account, I bought positions for WFC and BK. In the options account, I bought the options for WFC and BK.
If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
