Swing Trades 401(k) Portfolio
I learned from co-worker that our company’s 401(k) plan allows end-of-day trading. Previously I thought it would only post transactions once every month, which would make swing trade very hard. My plan is to select a few mutual funds as trading vehicles and swing trade them. Holding time will be weeks or months. The goal is to catch big trends. All cashes will be swept into GIC fund accruing interest daily.
Sold 30% position on OAKMX at DOW resistence level 8500; OAKMX follows DOW closely; sell 1/2 position at next level 8700-8800 or if current uptrend reverses. Hold LSCRX which follows RUT closely. It’s still in uptrend.
