January didn’t turn out to be too prosperous a month. Opened 9 positions and closed 3 of them for small losses.
Overall the portfolio was ahead 1.08% whereas the general market measured by the S&P ETF (SPY) was ahead 2.72%.

Started a position in MDCO @ 21.00
Stop @ 20.54 Initial Target = 22.50
3-5 Bar reversal: Stock is in an up trend; Price makes new high then reverses making lower highs and lower lows for 3 or more Bars. Entry when stock moves above the prior bars high; stop at prior bars low; trail stop at prior bars low.It is hard to find the Truth when you start your search with a preconceived notion of what the Truth will be.

I’m taking off for a couple weeks R&R; No phone; No internet.
After much debate I decided to sell everything with the exception of a small position in JDSU. On this position I have a 40 cent trailing stop.
Out of:
AKRX @ 12.72. 15.5% gain
MDCO @ 22.08 5.1% gain
VPHM @ 31.75 8.6% gain
SPG @ 136.63 2.8% gain.
I toyed with the idea of placing trailing stops but decided to cash in. This way I know exactly where I am. I already had the trailing stop set for JDSU and wasn’t fast enough to get it sold at days end. It’s not a full position so it can’t hurt me too bad.
I’ll post a spreadsheet when I get back.It is hard to find the Truth when you start your search with a preconceived notion of what the Truth will be.

SERIOUSLY ya may consider taking a position in DDD and let it ride. The CNBC Fast money report indicated that the potential for DDD is HUGE.
I have increased my position in DDD.......and think about it ......DDD could wind up paying for your vacation.........TAKE CARE DEAD DOG and have a wonderful vacation.........Phoenix!

Not great performance;
S&P is up 7.6% for the year.It is hard to find the Truth when you start your search with a preconceived notion of what the Truth will be.
