    For swing trading as a long, anything non above 2700 should be fine because as I mentioned, as long as a person buys non above 2730, a person can exit at break even or at a profit. So, maybe from 2680 to 2700 should be a meaningful entry for a long. Of course, even well non above 2680 is ok too from this perspective

    Walgreens, CVS and Rite-Aid lose $12 billion in value after Amazon buys online pharmacy PillPack

    • Shares of Walgreens Boots Alliance, CVS Health and Rite Aid plunge as investors worry a new deal by Amazon to acquire online pharmacy PillPack will disrupt the drugstore market.
    • PillPack is licensed to ship prescriptions in 49 states and likely booked more than $100 million in revenue last year.
    • The three pharmacy stocks collectively lost $12.8 billion in market value on Thursday alone.

    Rite-Aid "only" lost about $200 million of that.

    Shocked how SBUX just is falling straight down.

    Ok. Looks like it's going back up. I had wanted to enter some more long around 2690 but it didn't quite hit that spot. Oh, well. I am already in long. I expect the price to hit minimally 2730. But it could go much higher. I shall decide what to do once the price rallies to that level.

    My current plan: 1. buy more long if the SPX is between 2680 to 2690; 2. exit for profit taking at around 2760 to 2780

    out at 38.10 - keep giving up gains. Might look at profit taking along the way.

    It's good to know that the market continues to be somewhat volatile

    man, can't believe we close the books on h1 2018 tomorrow. where has this year gone?! :eek:

    here is a quick peak at the major indices performance for the year up to this point:

    after all the up's and down's this month it looks like we'll close more or less flat for the month (at least for the spx); for the quarter we're up close to +3% and for the year about +2%; not too bad given all the volatility we have seen this year, almost completely the opposite of what we saw last year. :p

    (not sure why the transports isn't pulling data)
