The GEO Group (NYSE:GEO) Hits New 12-Month High at $14.81
Buy Friday, Sell Monday, No Exceptions
Every week traders grind it out Monday through Friday… But neglect trading Friday to Monday… Or… “over the weekend” As one professional trader explains, trading over the weekend is one of the most forgiving strategies you can use today. It allows him to sidestep a lot of the midweek volatility. Yet, gives him the opportunity to target some of the markets biggest stock moves. Just recently, he posted a trade on Nordstrom… The trade was published at 3pm on a Friday afternoon and by Monday morning the trade more than doubled.
