Week Eight picks summary.

Best picks were PTEC up 4.12% and GRMN up 2.20%. But huge drop for WHQ brought the overall average down 4.26%. Without WHQ’s 14% drop today, overall average would have been flat.

COO 45.81 down 4.12%
GRMN 113.99 up 2.20%

Week Seven picks summary.

What a fun week. Did well accept for the slight downturn on IOC. But what can you do. This is to be expected and since I run no stops, my overall set of picks performed down 3.36%. IOC killed the average with it being down 23.27%.

Best pick was FBC up 6.25%. Without IOC, the average was 1.60% so you can see how a stop would have made a big difference. That is why overall the picks were good this week.

Below are the returns for the three days.

ACW up 1.58%
IOC down 23.27%
ACXM down 1.97%
FBC up 6.25%
NZT up 0.57%

I’ll run the next set of three day picks tomorrow.

[61 Lambretta]

Well there's nothing I can do when a stock like IOC drops over 30% in two days but laugh. That's why there are stop orders out there. But since I run these trades for the full three days, it stays.

Best pick otherwise is FBC, up 5.2%.

[61 Lambretta]

FBC up 3.95% first day. ACW up 2.99% first day.

Two more days to go.

Week Five picks summary.

This was a tough week. Stop orders would have helped. Best pick was CRNT which was up 3.35%. Overall picks down 2.58% for the three days. USU and HSII was bought one day too soon as they dropped more the next day but then rebounded. A longer trade period may have helped but I am running these as three day picks so I am closing them.

CRNT up 3.35%
SIVB down 0.90%
WNR down 5.89%

Week Three picks summary.

Another mixed few days in the market. Week three picks averaged down 0.94% for the three days. The highlight was IVN which ended up 4.44% with a nice jump today.

I did not use any stops, limits, or sell anything. If I did, returns would have been higher. But that is OK, because the overall picks have been excellent so far for good ideas if you trade them right.

Below are the returns for the three days. Here you can also see that stop orders would have greatly improved the performance.

CHINA down 2.15%
IVN up 4.44%
MGG up 0.75%

Even with this week’s volatile market, the week two picks averaged up 1.10% for the three days. The top pick was CSX which was up 5.05 yesterday and still closed the three days up 3.77%. BRL was also up over 2.6% today.

As always, I did not use any stops, limits, or sell anything. Below are the returns for the three days so you can see that any trading techniques should have improved the performance even more.

Week one picks summary.

Tough week in the market. The overall market was down about .75% and the Week one picks averaged down 1.14% for the three days. The highlight was CWCO which ended up 6.53% with a large jump today. PBR was also up over 3.7% today.

I did not use any stops, limits, or sell anything. Below are the returns for the three days so you can see that stop orders would have greatly improved the performance. But as I said before, I want a control to measure the system for the full trade time.

PBR down 1.02%
ALGN down 6.39%
CPL down 4.80%
CWCO up 6.53%
ACF down 0.06%

I’ll run another 3-day set tomorrow.

[61 Lambretta]

Week one picks average 0.66% today while market down 0.62%. CWCO up 6.98%. Two more days to go on the 3-day picks. A good start, especially since it was a tough day in the market.

PBR up 0.29%
ALGN down 0.29%
CPL down 0.72%
CWCO up 6.98%
ACF down 2.95%

[61 Lambretta]
