This page lists links to actual trades I made in the stock market. Some turned into big winners and some into losers. That's the way the game is played.
Since it can be difficult to place a trade into one category, be sure to review all of them. Popcorn is available in the lobby to enhance your reading pleasure.
Latest Releases 
- August 2, 2010: Vivus, full retrace of gap on entry, sell on symmetrical triangle breakout and bad news, 37% in 7 months.
- June 23, 2010: Ann Taylor, high and tight flag entry, sell in May and go away exit, 78% in 9 months.
Buy-and-Hold Trades
These trades make up my core positions, the ones I hold for long term appreciation, even though they may drop substantially from the buy price. Often they are utility stocks that
pay handsome dividends.
- Ann Taylor (ANN), high and tight flag entry, sell in May and go away exit, 78% in 9 months.
- CH Energy (CHG), average down on buy side, sell at overhead resistance, +50% in 3 months.
- Pinnacle West Capital (PNW), ascending triangle entry, sell for diversification using 38% Fibonacci extension, +21% in 17 months.
Position Trades
These are position trades, which are longer term trades held until the trend changes.
- Coldwater Creek (CWTR), congestion breakout on entry, hit stop on exit, 83% in 7 weeks.
- CNO 2.0. Fibonacci retrace on entry, inverted dead-cat bounce on exit. I made 90% in 2 months.
- Encore Wire (WIRE), rounded bottom on entry, inverted dead-cat bounce on exit, +24% in 2 months.
- hhgregg (HGG), symmetrical triangle on entry, 2B on exit, 13% in 3 months.
- Hudson Highland Group (HHGP), head-and-shoulders on entry, hit stop on exit, +55% in 3 months.
- National Fuel Gas (NFG), ascending triangle on entry, hit target on exit, +23% in 3 months.

- Tesoro (TSO), head-and-shoulders on entry, change in fundamentals on exit, +3.8% in 2.5 months.
- Vivus, full retrace of gap on entry, sell on symmetrical triangle breakout and bad news, 37% in 7 months.
- ZEP (ZEP), spin-off buy on entry, 2B chart pattern on exit, +1% in 5 weeks.
Swing Trades
These are swing trades, which are shorter-term trades often held until the swing ends. Since I don't consider myself to be a swing trader, these are trades meant to last longer
but I decided to sell early.
- Cache (CACH), support zone on entry, descending triangle on exit, -7% in 1 day.
- Charlotte Russe (CHIC), ugly double bottom on entry, trend change on exit, +9% in 7 days.
- Conseco (CNO), flat base on entry, inverted dead-cat bounce on exit, +110% in 6 days.
- Hecla Mining (HL), head-and-shoulders bottom on entry, trend change on exit, +15% in 9 days.
- Georgia Gulf (GGC), Adam & Adam double bottom on entry, +32% in 3 days.
- MSCI Australia Index Fund (EWA), head-and-shoulders bottom on entry, overhead resistance on exit, +5% in 28 days.
- YRC Worldwide (YRCW), flat base on entry, an inverted dead-cat bounce on exit, +34% in 1 day.
