Stock Picks Recap for 2/10/14
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, GTAT gapped two cents over the trigger. While you could have easily grabbed it there, under the rules, we don't count anything that gaps over. It worked great.
BRKR triggered long (with market support) and worked:
TSLA gapped over the trigger, no play.
FLEX triggered long (with market support) and only went five cents because it was late in the day.

COST triggered short (with market support) and technically didn't work enough for a $0.50 partial, although I took one for almost $0.40 and said so in the Lab:
Mark's VRTX triggered long (with market support) and worked enough for a partial:
In total, that's 4 trades triggering with market support, 3 of them worked, 1 did not.
