Tuesday's Outcomes

I entered a position on TGT as a volatility play timed to coincide with an earnings announcement.

In another earnings play, I entered small-lots shares position on PLCE.

PLCE	1	8/16/2016		86.03						earns

I also entered four momentum positions using the small-lot strategy. They are HNI, PCMI, RTEC, SAIC and SIMO

I exited six small-lots positions: BERY, HRC, MASI MHK, OMN, RM and UNH. The BERY exit came late in the trading day. Here are the details.
