Swing Trading Strategies & Stock Picks Since 2003

I came this close to placing a buy on RUT puts a few minutes into the open, but I literally said - out loud - "don't do a THING!" It was almost like someone came into the room with a pistol and said "move your hand away from the mouse!" So I will do whatever it takes to obey my 30 minute rule, even if it means talking to myself.

I am continuing to trim positions I think have been "fully fulfilled", particularly those in the metals area. There are some issues that I think have big potential downward dollar moves ahead. Below is one, and I've got a stop set at 227.10.
