Sector Analysis for Week 2 trades

I think stocks in these industries are great candidates for a short sale. My trades for week 2 will probably come from these industries. I have thrown out the industries that trade inversely (up in down market) so If the market goes lower you should profit from shorting these sectors, even if the market goes up you should still profit. Sorry that they are all short sale candidates I'll come up with another list of industries to be long.

Reached 20% in first week Week 1 Update 3

Today I came home opened up my trading platform and saw that the last picks went over their targets so I sold off the remaining positions (NFS) (CUZ) (WRI). The value of the portfolio has increased 20 percent in the first week, hitting the target for the month, but I still will place trades. Look for me to use credit spreads or to sell short options.


NFS 9% (Sold below 20 because the other positions went over the minimum)
CUZ 31%
WRI 28%

Week 1 Update 2

It was an okay day I hit my target on 4 stocks ((AMZN) 40%+) and only have 1 losing position (NFS). Im still thinking about exiting (CUZ) and (NFS) to get into more profitable positions.


(positions with 0% are closed positions, ignore the YTD because it wipes out gains and losses from late December, also ignore the total portfolio P/L because positions were sold off)

--------------bought-sold------------------
Sold (AMZN)5.73---8.40 46% Gain
Sold (ASR) 2.25----2.72 20.8% Gain
Sold (ACC) 3.20----2.82 22.6% Gain
Sold (THQI) 2.30--3.80 18.7% Gain (Bad fill price)
avg profit: 27% Gain

(NFS) up +7%
(WRI) up +6%
(CUZ) down -16%


Below I have a projection chat for (CUZ) (just comment me if you dont know how to use a projection chat). (CUZ) faces resistance @ 22.32 from the pivot point, resistance @ 22.39 from a retracement from a 4 week low, and the only support is @ 21.78. So look at (CUZ) to maybe trade around 21.80 tommorrow according to the chart.

4 Trades w/ Amzn 46% Gain

So I woke up today (earlier) and opened my trading platform up and I was looking at 4 stocks that hit their targets and then some. So I guess it does pay off to wake up early.


bought-sold
Sold (AMZN)5.73---8.40 46% Gain
Sold (ASR) 2.25----2.72 20.8% Gain
Sold (ACC) 3.20----2.82 22.6% Gain
Sold (THQI) 2.30--3.80 18.7% Gain (Bad fill price)
avg profit: 27% Gain

So I sold (AMZN) for a 46 percent profit, then sold (my upside hedge worked in a down market, crazy) (ASR) for a 20.8 percent profit followed by (ACC) for a 22.6 percent profit then (THQI) for a 18.7 percent profit.

I still have 3 open positions (CUZ) (NFS) and (WRI)

Happy New Year 2008
