SPXL Set Up on Friday

Interesting how you can use XIV to confirm set-ups in the S&Ps.  Could have played this via SSO or SPY itself of course.  SPXL is the Direxion 3x Bull which is fairly liquid.

Keeping Track of Nielsen

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Nielsen was the trading idea for Monday, and it's going our way so far, so I thought I'd post a 15 minute chart to think a little about trade management (entry, stops, etc.).  I'll update it again tomorrow with another annotated chart to share my thoughts.

Malaysian Airlines Stock Price Chart

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Peaked in 2007, all downhill from there. Currently around six US cents a share.  Disappearance of MH370 and shooting down of MH17 aren't especially obvious on this monthly chart.  AirAsia's chart looks a little better.
