Join TJ this week to hear about the trades he placed in C and AMZN in the live trading room. The market looked bearish and the financial sector has been in a down trend recently. I wanted to take advantage of the decline in the market by trading a bear call spread in AMZN, Amazon and by buying a put in C, Citigroup. Both of the trades paid of as the market pushed lower.

Join Sarah Potter and TJ to hear this latest podcast. In this episode we discuss trading IPO’s and specific ways we are looking at trading recent stocks to go public like LYFT and BYND. Sarah has been particularly interested in buying BYND stock, especially after the stock rose about $65.00. BYND is a stock that is still new to the market, and hence we are still learning and watching to see how the options expire, how the much the stock moves within a day and the profitability of the stock company. TJ is interested in trading LYFT and explains that he believes this stock will continue to rise as it is a business that is well engrained into our lifestyles. Find out more about what to look for and how to assess IPOs.
