Just sold COH @58.40 to lock in 19% gain. I sense some volatility on the horizon. My OXY sale was still a great sale as OXY is now trading around $88. Will get back in if I can around $85 or lower depending on the overall market. I now have a significant cash portion ready for a correction.
CSCO earnings are out and they're good, stock up 5% in after hours so far. my only problem so far this year has been not big enough size. Now up about 8% on CSCO in 2 weeks. I've had a string of powerful winners now: KMB was double digit gains in about 3 weeks. OXY was 17% gain in about 3 weeks. COH was 19% gain in about 3 weeks. Will continue to hold CSCO as I think it can easily run up to the 24-26 area.
More than 12% at high. Will go higher regardless of fundamentals then come down together with the whole market. No one really knows the timing.
CSCO's been battered for quite some time, I think it has potential to go against the grain a bit. it hasn't really correlated with the market too much in the past 6 months to year. At any rate, I think CSCO trades up to 26-27 before next earnings call, I don't mind holding for now, almost considered doubling down then decided against it. Also, up 16% on CSCO in about 2 weeks.
Account balance: $46,993 Total deposits: $27,300 (added 2k this week) Only exciting thing to happen was CSCO this week. TGT got called away today which I'm quite all right with. I now have about 20-25k I'm ready to sling if the market could ever come down a bit.
beautiful day. every holding i have is acting extremely strong in today's sell-off environment. the food sector like GIS, KO, K and some consumer goods like KMB and PG are getting hammered. Even more impressive are the REITS. A couple REITS which should actually increase their income in a rising interest rate environment are getting killed, namely NLY and IVR. Watching these closely altho I likely won't act because I don't understand the companies enough. I love the moves O and AGNC are making. However, I wouldn't touch AGNC with a 10 foot pole because that one should actually lose income as interest rates rise. standing by, hoping this sell off continues for a week or two, and gets more aggressive.
account balance: $46,706 Deposits: $27,300 Although I went backwards, I still outperformed the market and am happy any time I can do that. I have quite a lot of cash ready to go, atleast 20-25k and I am getting pretty trigger happy watching some of these stocks drop big. hoping to make some trades next week if the sell off continues. have been thinking about strategies to capitilize on the downside since i've been traditionally long only. I may continue to remain long only seeing as ive been hitting my target annual returns being long only or cash.
made 2 trades yesterday: 100 shares of DLR @ 59.24 200 shares of PPL @ 29.69 Considering DLR is going for less then purchase price and PPL is only 1 cent up from my purchase price, I hope you guys can trust my entry points and excuse my tardiness in posting
