As per last night's watch list, I placed two buy orders on
BRCM before leaving for work around 8:30. The first was a buy stop order $0.05 above the pre-market high at that time. The second was a buy limit order along the path of the trendline at $30.50. The first order was filled on the open, the second obviously didn't come close because the market opened strong and never looked back. There was no reversal between 10:00 and 10:15 so I knew this was going to be one of those days when the market just keeps going up with little or no pullbacks. My only regret was that I only had one open position on such a bullish day.
AAPL and
AMGN were the only two laggards on my Web Trader screen this morning, so when I noticed
AAPL was finally in the green in early afternoon, I checked the stockchart and saw a visible uptick in volume. I waited till price was crossing $58.00 and took a chance. As you can see from the chart, it paid off nicely.
