Holdings by 2-week Performance

Less MRGE because Reuters insists on degrading their daily quote tool.

Bought More

DNS +109, +35, +12.

Trades: I bought a combination of ATHN, DAR and LVS calls and stock. Buy limit orders are in place for CVI and VRTS.

Reversal alerts: (3) of which MHS is only slightly interesting ... until you see the chart.

Up for the Week

Today wasn't so great but the indexes I'm watching were up for the week. DNS -115, -34, -15. Today's action pulled the performance for a number of stocks negative for the week and/or two week periods.

Trades: See previous post. Stats are to the right.

Pharma company PTIE got clobbered today and my options went from +50% to -90% and OTM. I don't see much recovery here. I hate pharma.

The value-sales port moved up a bit, +30.3%.

 

Value-sales portfolio, +30.3%

Reversal alerts: (7) of which PSEC and EOG could be of interest. EOG has a better reversal pattern but I won't be considering either of these.

In a Buying Mood

I added shares of CMG, PVH, & MCP. PTIE got a 40% haircut on a drug rejection.

Not Bad for a Horrible Day

Overall it was a nice recovery. Gainers were up good, losers were down a little. DNS -60, +18, -4.

Trades: I bought calls for FMCN.

Reversal alerts: Only (4) tonight. RIMM, FREE, ARR, and PRFT.

ARR has been drifting down so I'd go with NLY if I were choosing between REITs.

PRFT is anticipating almost a 200% sequential increase in earnings next quarter. YoY earnings growth has been more than double for the last four quarter. The same is anticipated for the next two. YoY sales growth has been between 15 and 24% for each of the last four quarters. Its P/E will fall from around 37 to 18. Analyst opinions are favorable, earnings estimates have been nudged upwards. The chart is crap and the reversal indicators are weak.

Almost

They should have closed the markets at 2 pm. DNS -80, -18, -8.

Trades:

I sold ZAGG per the previous post. I was pretty pleased that I sold when it was up almost 12% ... especially when it dropped back 7%. But then it closed up 18.5% while the rest of the market was turning tail.

Reversal alerts: (9). ALTR is the best of the bunch here with strong double digit sales growth until now. Earning will be falling back a bit with slower sales growth, but estimates have been nudged upward.

ZAGG Gone

It was good while it lasted. We met on Monday. She was gone on Wednesday morning. +14.5%.

ZAGG gapped up on news of an accreditive purchase, I propped a 2% TSL order under it. Up, up, then gone. If only more of my stock relationships were this quick, profitable, and so free of regret and second guessing.
