Although, this one is interesting but a bit speculative as
the stock is surely bullish:
Bearish play on POT, buying the 150 strike Jan put option on
POT, with stop loss at 150, target 140, rationale: shooting

these are
day trades only, and only due to market being in an
oversold position.
GOOG....nah,

So, is there anything to look at today? Sure... but there
are too many cross-currents, earnings announcements, market
volatility, etc., and in keeping with the PRESERVATION OF
CAPITAL RULE, no picks, at least not at the open. Those of you
upset with that, please understand that I know some of you are
just blindly taking these trade picks without doing all your due
diligence and that is not the purpose of these picks. I'm not
gambling and you shouldn't be either. I don't teach gambling, I
teach putting the odds in your favor and market knowledge. If
anyone wants their $30.00 back, I'll be glad to oblige.
