China Slips One In

Many traders were greeted with the old back door Chinese handshake afterhours when SCOK released a surprise earnings announcement.  I am caught long of the stock and am far too busy to become caught up in the trivial nature of afterhours trade.

I have more important matters to attend to, like hearing Option Addicts latest stock pitch.  The man has a knack for finding the big ones, and you can too. However, there’s another piece to trading that it seems many of you are behind the curve on.  I’m talking about a big and hairy elephant named context.  What if I told you I intend to offer a simple recipe, week in and out, for understanding broad market context?  If you appreciate direct calls on market bias, then you will love my iteration of the Weekly Strategy Session.  Won’t you stop by this weekend and have a look?

It felt like we were flung into this week head first and came out the other end better because of it.  If you are caught in this loser SCOK and find yourself frustrated with the surprise, let it serve as a reminder of what exactly we are dealing with when trading sub $5 Chinese stocks.  There is huge risk involved here, just like a triple levered ETF.  If you are unsure how to size a position in such a name, don’t hesitate to drop me a line.

Aside from this, the week was all about success.  There is excitement in the air and I can feel it.  Through it I will remain emotionally like a boulder and logically like river water.
