Trade Journal: Taking Some Profits/Taking Some Losses

Lets face it, yesterday (Friday October 19, 2007) was brutal. The negative action forced me to stop out and cut my losses on many of my positions. In addition, it has also forced me to come to the realization that I have to take profits in order to preserve my gains. Despite the crazy action there are still plenty of stocks that I am holding onto. I will continue to hold onto these decent positions unless I am forced to sell them. True to my strategy I never hold onto a loss if it falls to down 8% from where I bought it (well at least I try to stick to it). This strategy helps me contain my losses to small amounts.

Despite Fears of an Imminent Market Correction, Several Bullish Chart Patterns Emerge- Part 2-The Stocks & Charts

Here are several stocks that I like. They are all showing interesting chart patterns and displaying technical strength


Stocks: AEY, HA, MCZ, NEOG, NG

AEY


Although I suffered a loss on AEY the last time I traded it, I still believe that the stock can make a good trade at the current price level. This is mostly due to the strong bounce off of the 50 day MA on robust volume. A small position is key at first. If it continues to improve, add more.


HA

HA has recently reclaimed its 50 day MA on huge surges of volume. This is signaling some institutional interest in the stock and may hint towards future upward moves.


MCZ

MCZ has successfully bounced off its 200 day MA on higher volume. The current price level provides a low-risk entry right above the 50 day MA.


NEOG

NEOG is a thinly traded stock that is experiencing increased volume during the last few trading sessions. The stock has recently announced strong Q1 earnings which is mostly likely the reason for the renewed interest in this NEOG.


NG


With gold stocks beginning to move into positive territory, it is a no-brainer for me to include a gold stock. NG is currently one of my favorite gold/silver setups. It has recently reclaimed its 50 day MA and has no strayed far from it, allowing one a low-risk entry into the stock.


---------------------------------------------------

Stocks to Add to:
Add to- APPY, BIDZ, CLDA, JST, POSH, SIMC, SQNM




I will try to post some more picks for tomorrow. In addition, I will try to mention some of the current stocks that one should add more to. Later.
