Trade of the Day: Etsy, Inc. (ETSY)

By Ken Trester

Both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones set new all-time highs yesterday, and the S&P 500 Volatility Index (VIX) closed below the 12 level at 11.80, which is a positive sign. That tells me that traders are feeling comfortable at current levels, so I am going to recommend a bullish trade today on Etsy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ETSY) to play the current rally in stocks.
