Embarking a New Trail

I'm just beginning a new effort with my Stock Trading by using this Blog.



I've seen success in my trading from time to time, and failure.  I've typically learned from my mistakes and been more patient.  A good example of this was my recent trade of Sandisk, SNDK.  I entered a position in May 2004 at about $24.  It and the market has fallen down since then, and SNDK was at under $20, as earnings approached.  By waiting and not making any rash moves, I am now sitting on a profit as it closed at $25 today, July 20th.



My primary purpose of the Blog is to collect trading ideas and maintain them, almost like sticky note reminders of opportunities that might just be waiting for a better entry.



That's about it for the introduction.

And today marks Day 5. " Clearly, the warrants are our lowest-cost way to raise capital," John Tuttle, DayStar's chief executive, told us. "The warrants have built-in dilution, so you don't have...

Time to short APOL (with puts)

It's butting up on a downtrending channel - it could rally to $68 (200dma), but it didn't move positive on a 200 pt up day today, which tells me it wants to re test the recent new lows. Navalier says BUY, while Cintron Research says SELL...
