Trading Session Recap (Week 33; Day 1)

Looking at the week behind 1 day @ a time…..

Good trading is always going back over the trading day and reviewing the setups that may or may not have worked out and what kept you in or perhaps took you out too early. Looking for the trend move and remaining in the trade is the objective. It’s your patience and discipline that will continue to grow as a trader when you implement such tools.

Kenneth Polcari Newsletter Highlights

Nasdaq is trading at 24 x trailing earnings – now while that is above the average of 20 x it is well below the multiple of 59 x that we saw back in 1999 before the dot com implosion…….  The S&P is trading at about 20 x…trailing earnings…..which is 33% higher than the average…but remember – rates are still near zero with little expectation that this is going to change anytime soon…..so these readings to make some sense – but does not mean you go blindly into the night…..and if the cycle has in fact really stabilized and if the FED does nothing – then the mkt could continue to churn higher…
