Welcome to Episode #54 of the Zacks Market Edge Podcast.
Every week, host and Zacks stock strategist, Tracey Ryniec, will be joined by guests to discuss the hottest investing topics in stocks, bonds and ETFs and how it impacts your life.
In this episode, Tracey is joined by Jeremy Mullin, editor of Zacks Counterstrike portfolio service.
For 10 years, Jeremy has been trading the after-hours trading sessions, both before the open and after the market closes.
Tracey and Jeremy discuss the trading platforms you need to trade in the after-hours. It’s not as complicated as you may think.
What are some of Jeremy’s top tips to trading stocks in the after-hours?
1. Stay away from “thick” stocks like Pfizer (PFE) that won’t have big moves.
2. Look for thinner stocks with bigger spreads, especially the hot stocks that will make big moves like Netflix (NFLX) and Baidu (BIDU)
3. Be nimble. Don’t be stubborn.
4. “You never go broke taking profits.”
And there’s more.
Jeremy and Tracey discuss the after-hours trade on some recent earnings reports including Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Domino’s Pizza (DPZ).
What about trading the first earnings reports on recent IPOs? Jeremy shares his thoughts about jumping in on those in the after-hours.
