    Stop @ 54.50 Initial target @ 62
    % of capital at risk = 0.66%

      BWA sold @ 81.70 for a 2.9% loss.

      That will teach me to sleep in. Should have been out @ 82.50.
      If I’m not going to be watching the market I should have hard stops in place.

          ZUMZ @ 35.90

          Reversal play: Today the price traded above the high volume down day (Apr 10).

          Stop will be triggered if price closes below today’s low.

          Initial Target = 40.00 Capital at risk = 0.5%

            Buy ZAGG@ 11.45
            Stop = a close below 10.50 will trigger a stop.
            Initial Target = 15
            Risk = 0.8% of capital

            This is a breakout play. Earnings are on May 3rd so I have to decide if I’ll hold thru earnings.

              Sold NUS @ 56.47
              Basically a break even trade.

              Looks like I managed to get out at the bottom.

                I think fundamentally this company has a lot going for it...tons of revenue upside with all of the smartphones, Ipads, etc

                  I thought the same about NUS. At times Fundies don't cut it.

                    Buy STX @ 29.13
                    Pull back type of play. STX broke out of a base last week and today pulled back to the break out point. Price action looks like it wants to go up. As I write this it has a nice hammer formation.
                    Stop is below the days low
                    Initial target is 33
                    Capital at risk = 0.72%

                      Closed out 3 positions in April. None of them profitable; However none of them ate a big hole in my account.

                      Gain for the year is only 0.4%; not that happy with the results but my number one objective is to preserve capital. That was accomplished. Now if I can just make a little progress on objective number two; which is to beat my dividend portfolio.

                      I looks like just the old dog and that other guy on here, you know the meat and cheese, I am HUGE guy; are the only ones sharing their actual picks in some kind of format that is easy to keep track of. How about the rest of you throwing together a spreadsheet of your calls and letting us know how you are doing.

                        I’m going to sell ZAGG today rather than hold it going into earnings.
                        I have entered a stop order below yesterdays low and if it is not hit I’ll close the position before the end of the day.

                        PS: The way my luck runs this could be a buying opportunity for the rest of you.

                          ZAGG

                          Sold @ 12.84 for a gain of 12.1%


                          Reason for sale: ZAGG earnings are due after the bell today.

                              The Short interest on ZAGG will make this a high risk, High reward play

                                No wonder I can't find any news.

                                Better early than late I hope.
                                I'm a little gun shy after seeing what earnings did to stocks like NUS and HLF
