Weekly: Whipsaw on FB

I get whipsawed on Facebook as it breaks 170 to the downside on Monday. I cover, then it rebounds to close the week around 178. These things happen. The good news is a profitable week, after a rough two week while I was away. As for the rest of the week, I make adjustments as stocks move around. Tesla booms higher after its earnings. Chipotle has another food scare then recovers.
Mon Facebook moves lower again. I take some profits and a couple of big losses.
