Former Veteran NYSE Trader David Green's Tuesday Trades: Alibaba, Moderna, Airbnb, AMD, and Robinhood

Veteran trader David Green was back live trading on Benzinga Tuesday morning, and the long-time trader made some trades in some big-name stocks such as Alibaba Group Holding Inc BABA, Moderna Inc MRNA, Airbnb Inc ABNB, Advanced Micro Deviced, Inc AMD and Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ:HOOD). 

Alibaba’s stock ripped higher Tuesday morning, opening at $169 a share, more than 4% higher than shares closed on Monday. The stock continued to trade higher early in the trading session, reaching $172 a share. Green put out multiple orders to buy 100 shares of Alibaba on any dips.

“There goes BABA,” Green said. “We’re seeing a little resistance here, but if I see BABA trading sideways, I think we could see $180 by the end of the week. ”

Green was suggesting selling some of the shares he picked up on Alibaba for a profit at $172.80. The stock ended up breaking through that pivot point, but Green and his trading room still took a profit.
