ZAGG reports tommorow after the market closes

[Deaddog]

ZAGG

Sold @ 12.84 for a gain of 12.1%


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

[Deaddog]

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.

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.

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%

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 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.

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%

[Deaddog]

And another one bites the dust
KSWS sold @ 3.74

[Deaddog]

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.

[Deaddog]

NUS Buy @ 56.24


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.

.

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

Buy BWA @ 84.16

I missed the breakout above 82.30 several weeks ago and have been waiting for a pullback to that level. The stock seems to be making higher lows, so took a shot this morning.

Earnings will be on Apr 26, plan to be out before announcement.

Stop @ 82.25 Initial target @ 94
% of capital at risk = 0.5%
