Stock Picks Recap for 9/28/16
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, AMKR triggered long (without market support) and didn't go enough in either direction to count:
EMKR triggered long (without market support) and didn't work:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, Rich's BABA triggered long (without market support due to opening 5 minutes) and didn't work:
