Tuesday Night Trading

Avatar photo Doug Kass on June 24, 2026

Up, down, up, down, up, down. (I counted at least three moves of 25 handles, while I was awake trading!)

The Spoos were more active than a bed bug last night — moving, in aggregate about one percent.

I traded $SPY and $QQQ profitably/aggressively but since they are closed out there is no need (or value) to recap the specific trades.

I approach evening trading opportunistically — and find a lot of inefficiencies, perhaps explaining why about one-third of my trading/investing is done in the after and pre markets.

I currently have no index positions.

Position: None

Added to Index Shorts

I added to index shorts as the market makes a high for the day: 

* $SPY $746.83

* $QQQ $738.73

Proximate reasons: extended memory stocks (moving to Ludacris Speed!) and the outside day to the downside in JPMorgan ($JPM).

Position: Short SPY (S), QQQ (S)
