Out NTAP this morning this was a 13 point trade and I'm very optimistic of how earnings plays are reacting AFTER the artificial first day. Optimism for "anticipatory upswing' and getting in a good 10-20% is very possible in a swing trade or even daytrade. That shows you that earnings plays will be up in the long haul. Although my thinking is that if the stock moves up 25% I would take my profit and STILL consider myself an "investor" because I'll be back in a few days after the 'stair step down' and reenter. I currently have NO position in NTAP but I know I will probably by today, or next week.

You have to take risks because by not holding a short overnight you risk not getting an uptick on a day like today. Shorting ELON and TLGD turned out fine but I would not load up on shorts or longs. Just for a steady diet of 5 points a day long or short profit is enough. More than that is gravy.
TLGD and ELON shorts doing well, Stocks are predictably down soundly even SCMR which is why I wanted to sell it yesterday. Good stocks, bad stocks, no safe stocks either. Only shorting and very selective intraday trades will get you through this.
