Financial Friday #2



Well it is Friday again. This was a tough week in the market. Last week I traded ABK I have been noticing that ABK seems to go up to around 1.70 and then drop to around 1 repeatedly . There was really nothing I was excited about buying this week so I decided to short ABK hoping it would follow the pattern I have been seeing

I shorted 240 shares of ABK at $1.40 This freaked me out a little bit, I knew the market momentum was down but I was not sure if this would pay off or not. I figured I would just watch and see what happens. On Thursday ABK dropped to $1.01 per share and started to bounce back up a little bit I was able to cover my short position at $1.07 and get out with a $73 profit. The move worked out well but I did add a little more gray hair.

With the market getting crushed at the end of this week next week I am looking for a rebound next week. I am looking closely at Bank of America (BAC). I have a feeling the market over reacted to the earnings call on Friday but you never know. Hopefully next week will be profitable. Even though this week worked out well I really don’t love playing shorts.

Fortunately ABK continues to follow a familiar trend and I was able to make a little money this week.
