Visa bought back with the market pick up


The market is improving again and I am adding Visa (V) back to my portfolio. Tomorrow I am going to buy 10 shares of this stock. The total estimated trade should be $851 as per my adjusted rules. I will report this trade tomorrow morning after the shares will have been bought. I am limiting the number of shares to avoid overextending my potential loss, but keeping the total amount of the trade above $800.

The next available trade will be made only when this trade gets into a positive territory, which means even if this trade turns against me, I will be out with a gain, not loss (or loss within the maximum account draw down).

SYK slid -4.56% in the morning and was sold on stop loss


Stryker Corp. (SYK) hit my stop loss order at the opening and has been sold:

01/27/2010    09:35:05    Sold  15  SYK  @  53.3806

The stock continued sliding significantly down. By now I am 100% cash waiting for the market to recover from the correction. I will also work on adjusting my trading rules to avoid loses such as this month. I again over invested myself, so my present rules were not able to protect me against loss during slip down such as in January 2010.

Visa sold on stop loss


The market is losing ground and slipping into correction. Visa (V) once again is dragged down with banks even though this company is not a bank. Another deep drop of this stock triggered my stop loss and I sold my shares of this stock. However, I still consider this stock as a high quality equity and I am ready to buy back on reversal.


01/22/2010    09:56:58    Sold  20  V  @  82.9015

TSTC sold on stop loss trigger


Telestone Technologies Corp. (TSTC) triggered stop loss order this morning and has been sold:

01/21/2010    11:33:43    Sold  19  TSTC  @  17.78

Today’s move on the market also counts as another sell off (distribution day) and puts the market under the pressure. That means I am raising cash and waiting for the next move. Will the market slip into correction or is it just a dip?
