Big week for Earnings

Good morning Folks, 
Hope you had a wonderful weekend, you are well rested and ready for a productive week. 
It looks like IBM missed their earnings and we have had a reversal in the pre-market. If you watched my videos this weekend you will know that I was a bit concerned about this being such a big earnings week. We still have some big hitters coming up this week and the impact could be less than favorable for the markets if they disappoint. 

I think this is a good week to remain cautious, look for opportunities in companies that get thrown out with the bath water. If you are a swing trader or long term investor look for good companies with good fundamentals and good earnings that are getting a beat down just because the market is down. Remember that cash is a position too and its a great position to be in when there is weakness in the markets. For you day traders out there >Don't feel as though you have to trade every day or every hour of the day, wait for the ideal setup, target entry, have your risk reward ratio and stick to your plan. Do not let a day trade become a swing trade and make sure to book some profit when its there.
