Stock Picks Recap for 8/18/16
With each stock's recap, we will include a (with market support) or (without market support) tag, designating whether the trade triggered with or without market directional support at the time. Anything in the first five minutes will be considered WITHOUT market support because market direction cannot be determined that early. ETF calls do not require market support, and are thus either winners or losers.
From the report, ARWR gapped over, unfortunately.
ANGI triggered long (without market support do to opening 5 minutes) and worked (although it was way thinner than I would have expected):
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, Rich's VRX triggered short (with market support) and didn't work initially, worked later:
Rich's OIH triggered long (ETF, so no market support needed) and worked:
His WUBA triggered short (with market support) and didn't work:
GILD triggered long (with market support) but I posted to close it around even after a period of time:
