Stock Picks Recap for 10/4/16

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, PGNX triggered long (without market support due to opening 5 minutes) and worked:

CORT triggered long (with market support) and didn't do enough either way to count:

From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, Rich's GDX triggered short (ETF, so no market support needed) and worked:

FSLR triggered short (with market support) and worked enough for a partial:

NFLX triggered short (with market support) and worked:

Rich's AMZN triggered short (with market support) and didn't work:

In total, that's 4 trades triggering with market support, 3 of them worked, 1 did not.
