Still very constructive action. Not much new to add here. There's a ton of earnings coming out this week and I'm expecting continuation higher. All we're doing is looking for pullbacks in those strong names.

Trade #1: VMW

This stock has a "sawtooth" pattern about it. Strong move over a day or two, followed by 2-3 weeks of "back and fill."

The stock has almost completely filled the gap from the most recent catalyst, and I expect that to hold.
