Why Former NYSE Trader Bought Coinbase, AMD and Moderna Stock Tuesday Morning

Veteran trader David Green was back live trading on Benzinga Monday morning, and the long-time trader made some moves. 

Green pointed out the strong trend of Moderna Inc MRNA Tuesday morning. The stock opened slightly higher than Monday’s close, at around $486 per share. The stock quickly reversed and dropped down to the $456 level, before coming back up. 

Green put a limit order in to buy the dip on Moderna’s stock. 
“$462, Moderna guys,” Green said in his live trading room. “We’re down 10 points in MRNA already. We can start a little trade here, I like it.”

The quick day trade paid off, as Moderna’s stock bounced more than 2%, back up to the $472 level.

Stocks Discussed On The Show

American Micro Devices AMD opened up slightly from Monday’s close, around $108 a share. The stock quickly dropped down to the $105 level. Green put out an order to purchase shares of AMD at $104 while the stock was sliding down. The stock ended up reversing and going back up before Green’s orders were filled. 

Coinbase Global Inc COIN opened slightly up, near $281 a share. After the open, the stock dropped down near the $267 level. Green put an order out to “buy the dip,” if Coinbase dropped below $266 for a quick trade.  

Green mostly executes quick day trades, both on the long and short side. When a stock hits one of his pivot points he initiates a buy order with a tight stop loss.
