$830 Swing Trading $FMCC and $FNMA Today

I needed some easy kills to prop up my ego confidence on the heels of a rash of really bad trades!  I got pitched  a few softballs here on a swing trade with [stock_quote symbol=”FNMA” show=”name” decimals=”2″ number_format=”sd” template=”” raw=”0″ class=”quote”] and [stock_quote symbol=”FMCC” show=”name” decimals=”2″ number_format=”sd” template=”” raw=”0″ class=”quote”].

No, they’re not small caps but I couldn’t help but take a small piece of the pie when they crossed my radar.  I wasn’t sure which one would move higher so I took a 5K position in both of them.  I made $830 combined on these trades but they are horribly slow and boring to watch.
