 Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome. Welcome to the Stocksville Show Market Review of the Costco. Costco actually gapped up today. I didn't do it. I didn't feel like doing it because I watched one down gap today, and I didn't think it was a lot of good things today. And I did say today I thought it would be a tricky day to trade. And it was. It was. And actually, I had a friend just call me now, and he said, oh, he had a down day. And I said, why didn't you do what I told you to do? And he didn't. So I think there's one thing that's really interesting. When I get up in the morning, and I look at the morning in the pre-market, and I look at the market, and then I look at the gaps. If I say it's going to be a hard day to trade, or if I say it's going to be an easy day to trade, I'm never wrong. There was a broker I traded at. This was a long, long, long, long time ago. Gosh, when was this? I don't even talk to these people anymore. It might have been five years ago or something. It was a long time ago. Anyways, there was a place I used to trade at. And the place I used to trade at, the guy used to say, he used to text me in the morning. And he used to say, do you like it in this morning or not? Because he knew that he would watch what I liked. He wanted to know then what I liked. And then I would tell him if I liked something or not. And then every day I would say, I didn't like anything. He always reminded me, don't trade today, Melissa. Because he knew then of the pattern that I was right, that if I didn't see it in the morning, then it wasn't there. Like I have just a great natural eye. And I would sometimes trade anyways. Even when I knew that I wasn't supposed to. This is a long time ago when I was by myself. And then I would have to start the day down, fight to come back, I made my life difficult. The one reason that I realized about trading, one of the things I like about Gaps, and one of the things I like about Shorts is because they move so fast, is that the fastest money I can make is the easiest. It's not stressful. When I see it before the market, I know it's gonna work. I just don't, I'm at the place in my life with everything I know with trading and financially and everything else that I just don't wanna be stressed anymore. The least amount of stress I can have is the happiest existence that I could possibly have. So this morning, I said that I didn't really think there was anything that great. I liked two things to watch. One didn't set up at all. One did set up and that was it. But I did call Costco, but I didn't do it. So the point I'm trying to make is that I did say in the room today that it was gonna be a tough day to train and that I thought it was fine if you didn't trade it all today. And then if you did do one thing, and that's all I did was one thing, I did make money in the thing that I did, but it didn't follow through. So I knew the market had the possibility and tricky today and it was because it's really strong. It's very, very strong. And it faked lower but it wasn't gonna go any lower because the market's really strong and people are anticipating the market going lower even though it gapped down. The other day, it didn't follow through. Today it gapped up. It didn't look like it followed through but it actually did follow through. And so I said it was gonna be a tricky day and it really, really was. And the thing I realized after talking to my friend is that he said, well, why? I just wanted to do what I wanted to do. If you're in my room, if you're trading in my room, if you're there, listen to what I say. I mean, that's why you're paying me to be there. And if you took my class, listen to what I say. And there's mostly men that trade in the market. I will say this. It's a male dominated industry for the most part. But I think the one benefit I have as a woman that I trade and for me to teach people, to mention them as well is that you gotta take your ego out of the equation. You have to take your ego out of the equation. You have to be in that space, that space of knowing. There's a difference between ego and conviction. It's that it's between ego and knowing. You almost have to just release it and allow yourself to trust in what I'm telling you. And just listen to what I say and do exactly what I say to do if you're there in the room. And if you're in the class, you took the class and do exactly what I taught you to do in the class. So some people didn't listen to me to their, but I said it wasn't gonna be an easy day. Tomorrow, Friday is gonna be a good day. And yesterday was too. Anyways, let's look at this. So here I call Costco at Raleigh. This was a good long. It did rally here and I did call this, but this isn't right. So what I, I didn't do it by the way, but what I had stayed through this, let it break through the load. No, I would not have. This is very herky jerky. This is a machine that does this. A bar wouldn't look like that without a machine, but this was a nice move. It ran up here, ran up almost a dollar. This was a move. You can't let this whole thing you trace against you and get stopped out. And the market did break at some point this morning. I don't know the time the market broke, it was probably a very similar. That's why this did this, but I will tell you bounced off of 149. Raleigh continued higher. Didn't continue higher than today, but this will tomorrow. There's a good continuation watch for tomorrow on the bullish side higher. 165, 175, 170, 165, 175. $200 of the market gets to the spy for Costco this year. But one between 165 and 175 I'm seeing in here for Costco for the longer term, if you're in this overnight for the longer term for this year. 200 is a dream target for Costco this year and it will get there but the market gets to 300. But 165, 175 of the long-term trades in Costco. It's wasn't an amazing gap. I said this is a good gap. I didn't say, oh my gosh, I love this thing, no chance of failure. There's a difference. But I said it was a gap you could have bought, I called the trade in it, I didn't do it. But you do have this problem, there's a lot of machines in the market that go long. So you had to drop off here and immediately got bought. This got bought in the tail. This is mine. Let's look at it in one minute chart. Time of the day was 11 o'clock. You see how it immediately got bought there? Like this is just like ridiculous. But again, I didn't do this. But you see here, it immediately got bought. This is a machine. Touch the number, didn't break it at all. 149 immediately got bought. It's a machine order and had to buy it at 149. So yeah. So this was a late trade though. And I felt the market would rally into the open. I mean, into the close. I felt the market would rally into the close. I kept watching and watching and watching and watching it. I felt that it would, that helped the Costco continue. It ran out of energy and effort and everything it had with itself. So it could not get over the high, followed through. But tomorrow, this is a good solid long tomorrow. 153, 153, 152, 153, depending where the Scouts to why this is a long tomorrow. Costco's a long tomorrow. And I think the market rallies tomorrow so Costco is a good long. 165, 175 are the realistic targets for Costco for the year 2015 and 200 is a dream target if the market in the spy goes to 300. But the point I'm trying to make is that there's no shame in releasing your ego and you're not giving control to someone else when you're listening to what they do. In other words, people that listen to what I do and take direction from me if they're in the room or learn from me in the class, you're not giving me control. You still have your own control. You're making your own decisions. The power is yours. You are allowing everything I say to wave over you like a wave, like picture it like an ocean. It's like Melissa, the stock switch comes over and I just, I'm like a wave that just goes right over you. Shoot, like that. It's like a wave that goes over you when you're really, really hot. Pretend you're, it's summer and you're at the beach and it's 95 degrees out and it's flat line in the ocean. You're out there in the middle, just laying around and you're like, oh my gosh, I wish I had a good wave to ride into the beach. I don't know if you like to ride waves. My dad loves to do that. Anyways, you get the wave, the wave is me. The wave comes over you and it just takes you into the shore and you just let it go. If you fight the wave, the wave of me, then you're gonna fight yourself so there's no point in it. You're not giving control to the wave. You're just allowing the wave to take you where you need to go faster. And that's really what a good mentor, teacher, person does like me. You allow the wave to take you where you need to go faster. Could you get to the shore without me? Yes. Will you get there faster with me? Yes. Can you do it on your own without me? Most people can't. So it's like, just acknowledge the fact that I have a special gift. And if you're in the room, just do what I say and listen to what I say. And I'm gonna say, don't trade, don't trade. I'm gonna say it's gonna be a hard day. Do one thing and stop. If I say there's a good gap, then do it. If I say no chance of failure, go all in. Hold to the target. If I say XYZ about the market, do it. Whatever I say, just have that trust, that factor. And actually, most people's inability to trust me is their inability to trust themselves. It's like a mirror. I'm like a mirror for people. Like when people come to me and they say, I want proof of this. I want proof of that. I want proof, proof, proof, proof. I want yada, yada, yada, yada, yada. And I say to myself, you know what? That person is in a place where they not only don't trust me, they distrust themselves. Okay. So if you're in a place where you trust yourself, you trust your own decisions and therefore you will trust other people. If you are in a place where you don't trust other people or yourself, you got to get some work done. Because how can you make it through life? How can you get up in the bed in the morning if you don't trust yourself? You have to trust yourself, your own decisions. You have to trust your instinct. This is part of how you become a good trader. And one of the main reasons I'm a great trader, one of the reasons I even got to this point in the first place is because I do trust myself. When I was at the point when I was losing, when I was losing so bad. Oh my gosh. And I was just losing and I was training in the morning and giving money back in the afternoon and just going through the cycle. And everyone in the world was lecturing me and everyone was telling me to quit. I trusted myself. I knew that I could do it. I knew that I could do it. And I did and I kept going. So if I hadn't trusted myself, I would never even be here. Not only would I not be here with my own personal training, I would not have impacted and affected as many people's lives as I had. The fact that I trusted myself is the number one reason why I'm here today, treating the market and touching people's lives. I'm impacting people's lives in a positive way. A way that if they had not met me, they would not have be where they're at with their own lives. That's huge. That's massive. And I didn't even realize that when I started to teach. And I'm realizing that as time goes on, the impact that I'm actually having on people, it's touched me. Okay, which was not the purpose of me even doing the business in the first place, but I see that now is the bigger picture. But the reality is that if you gotta learn to trust yourself, take the ego out of the equation, let me in the socks, which is me, become a way that just takes you into the shore of where you wanna go. You're not gonna do it better than me. No one out there sees Gats better than me. And no one sees the market better than me either. So don't think that you're gonna see something better than me because you won't. So let the wave wash over you, listen to what I say, trust yourself, learn from me. Let the wave rush over you, which is the trades, the learning, everything I'm saying, the calls, and you move forward. And then as time goes on, what happens is you get closer and closer and closer to shore by yourself. But it's a process. It's a process of trusting yourself and trusting yourself to do it. And trusting the process of the market, actually. So this is Melissa with thesockswish.com. I just did a review on Costco. Costco is higher tomorrow without a shot of the doubt. And I saw a long-term target on that for this year as 165, 175, that's realistic. 200 is a dream target on Costco this year. Neither way this is higher, no matter what. No chance of failure for Costco to get up and get over here this area and make a new high. I don't know the timing of that. I don't know the timing of that. I'm just saying Costco will make a new high this year. So, nice long-term trade here in Costco, nice swing trade. And if you'd like to sign up for the swing trade letter, you can email me at Melissa at thesockswish.com. It's $99 a month and $1,000 for the year. Have a great night, everyone.
