TM - Update

I still watch TM on a daily basis. Like I mentioned in my post on the 23rd I would have bought the stock if it were not in the news so much right now. I missed a great 3.00 move to the high 74.00's. TM is now at 74.83.

This would have been a nice trade based just on the charts, but there are other things that I consider when calculating risk. One such thing is sentiment and the uncertainty with the news media's spin. The controversy and daily spin regarding TM appears to be a witch hunt and one has to keep in mind that the news can effect the stock on a dime. I will keep you posted if I see another interesting level for a TM trade.

Purchased a couple call options in my trading account when this stock hit its support level. Nice 300.00 trade for a two day swing. Very dangerous type of trade, but stops were put in to protect myself in case I was catching a falling knife.
