I decided to get rid of JADE, which doesn’t fit to my trading strategy. As I mentioned earlier, this purchase was a deviation from my rules. This is the reason why every investor or trader needs to remind his rules as long as he remembers them. 11/30/2009 15:36:47 Sold 34 JADE @ 3.0805 I also added 3 shares of RINO to Continue reading →

Review your portfolio and get rid of junk
When I realized recently how much I was ignoring my trading rules I used those last couple days working on getting back on track. I learned again, how important it is to have rules and follow them no matter what. Of course, you still can be working on improving or modifying those rules to fit Continue reading →
ORS sold
It seems, somebody was lucky today morning when I decided to sell ORS. I was sold first thing in the morning: 11/24/2009 09:30:24 Sold 67 ORS @ 0.78 Since then, the price was falling like a rock, because ORS filed worse than expected 3rd Q results. The outlook is not bright as well, even though it was packed into nice words. Continue reading →
ORS removed from portfolio
I decided to sell Orsus Xelent Technologies Inc.(ORS). This stock appears to me as a complete junk. It doesn’t fit almost none of my criteria, it doesn’t trend and I do not want to block my money on something like this. The truth is, I just picked up this stock in euphoria of making money Continue reading →
CTL added to portfolio
Today I bought CenturyTel, Inc. (CTL): 11/23/2009 09:30:21 Bought 9 CTL @ 36.09 My portfolio is now invested, so no more positions can be opened.
CenturyTel CTL as a core of the portfolio
The whole Sunday I spent rereading and polishing my stock pick strategy. Recently I deviated from several rules I originally used. I thought I already remembered them all or I could outsmart the market again. What a costly thinking! This time I, however, wrote them all down on the paper and created a checklist in Continue reading →

STEC in consolidation
In my weekly Picks History post I mentioned STEC showing a reversal sign. Although I am losing my interest in this stock, because it doesn’t meet my picks criteria any more, I am just curious how the stock will develop and I may consider a small position as a swing trade based purely on technical Continue reading →
