The week that just concluded had it all. There were earnings results, economic data, a monetary policy report, M&A activity, calls for tax reform, geopolitical conflict, and volatility. It was a remarkable week.
Although my trading performance is better than DOW this week, I've been through a lot. It was very tough to stay calm when I opened long positions yesterday.
It's very hard to be a trader. I like my engineer job better. :-) But I like the excitement of the stock movement, specially the move this week.
