I opened $Biogen(BIIB)$ ,BIIB: initiated starter positions on Biogen as it trades near 10 year low. Stock momentum is poor so ot might continue to fall over the various headwinds on the general Pharma sector and specifically on its product pipeline as well. Pharma companies are notoriously volatile so dabble with eyes open.
I closed $SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF(KRE)$ ,I closed $SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF(KRE)$ ,Take a look at the latest order I posted! KRE: took profit on this KRE trade after holding for 37 days. The drop on Wed after FOMC provided good reason to secure profit on some of the shorts. While it can drop lower, it's currently filling up a significant gap fill support and might have a short term rebound from there if the market drifts higher.
