BMO - ES +8 and NQ +12 futures are higher in pre-market trading pointing to a higher open. If the cash markets open higher and continue to move higher, Monday could be the low day in a two day pull back, so watch for a break of the high of the low day.

Dave,
On the RIMM you have a deeper stop is that because of volatility? I tend to get stopped out sometimes because I tend to set them too tight? What is your recommendation on setting stops?
Not sure whom I'm addressing:
Thank you...it is actually a miskeyed number...the stop is 39.52 NOT 29.52...I will correct the post this evening...stops are based on the individual stock chart support levels including the 30 DMA...if you read the original Learn the Disicipline Posting about 8 weeks ago there is a more in depth explanation.

Any concerns that RIMM comes out with earnings on 4/2 ?
Follow your rules...I can tell your question is based on thinking only in terms of an individual trade not in terms of a managing a portfolio of trades...there is a huge difference between the two perspectives...This is a Model Portfolio so we apply a wholistic portfolio view...Answer - NO - the position is the proper size with minimal risk to the portfolio...Best for you to follow your rules as you trade.
