Trying a trade on Monday

July 31, 2011

I picked up a trade idea here and will give it a go on Monday as long as VHC doesn’t open below $28.90. One buy, and only one buy, and it will either stop itself out at $28.90 or I’ll let it run to $37.90. If it gets stuck in the middle I’ll close it [...]

Locked in some gains, holding the cash

July 28, 2011

I covered the RIMM and sold my MNRO early this morning. I locked in 5-6% on both of those. My 401K rollover also completed today. All of above gives me some extra cash across the Rollover IRA, my Roth, and my trading account. After a quick chat this morning I decided to wait until after [...]

Sell EK, Short RIMM

Recent Mistakes

July 18, 2011

Hey, you already got to watch me make a mistake!  I pulled the combo of taking action based on a headline (incorrectly taking some GLD profits) during a busy day  at work AND moving that money into tech that we know over and over again is generally not a good thing until the fall.  If [...]

Buy AKAM @ 29.74, last EK buy at 2.7195

July 15, 2011

I picked up some AKAM today.  Looking for $45 before taking any sell or let the profits ride action. I also picked up my last block of EK @ 2.7195.  That trade is just a bingo longshot hoping for good news in the lawsuits that locks a gain above $3.40.  My avg s now $2.86

July 13, 2011

I’m not going to pretend I know anything special, I’m just following along as far as my GLD strategy goes : “@JimCramer – Sell 25% of Gold, Hold Rest” I suppose another way to put that is that no one ever got hurt locking in a gain!  I started my gold position with a chunk [...]
