Editor’s note: This is a reminder that there will be no Market Update or Live Trading Sessions next week. We will resume after the Labor Day holiday. Michael will be monitoring open positions and send alerts if needed.
I am recommending we roll our Starbucks (SBUX) and Square (SQ) positions as we continue to work our way back toward breakeven.
