Why Former NYSE Trader Bought Moderna, Sofi, Sonos and Coinbase Stock On Monday Morning

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

Green pointed out a ‘far from moving average’ trade on Moderna Inc (NASDAQ: MRNA) morning. The stock opened down Monday morning, dropping more than 7% to nearly $350 a share. The stock was trading near $485 earlier in the month. 

“Boom,” Green celebrated with his room. “We just made $3 on that trade [per share] in less than five minutes.” 

Green put an order out to ‘buy the dip’ in Moderna, at $370 a share. The stock quickly reversed and Green sold the shares around $373 a share.

Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ: COIN) opened slightly up, near $265 a share. After the open, the stock dropped down near the $254 level. Green put an order out to “buy the dip,” on Coinbase stock at $257 a share.
