Small Time Trading

[benchman]

Account value up about $440 today. ESV and UMFG helped offset DXR. Just in case there is confusion, while my over all loss on DXR was almost $4,000, my loss in value today was around $1,400.

I sold DXR at $7.0636, and it had closed at $7.63 yesterday. Today it officially closed at $7.26, however, it was at $7.02 at 4pm. That being said, looking at the trading, I could have sold for better than where I did later in the day.

ESV closed up .15 to $7.02. Oil was up about a 1/4 percent, and the DOW was up 63. ESV outpaced the other drillers I follow again. The RSI is 73, so it is overbought, but I have seen stocks hit a 90 RSI, so it could go higher.

UMFG closed up .0059 to .033. This one finally came to life this afternoon with about 422K shares traded. I don't think it had any volume in the morning.

CLRI closed up .005 to .055. This stock also had good volume in the afternoon, while having almost none in the morning. 209K total.

APLVF closed up .02 to .12.

MAAFF and EACQW were unchanged with no volume. Kind of surprising for EACQW after yesterday's action.
