Sold PTEN today at $23.08 for a small gain (+0.8%).
...

Got back in PTEN today at $22.72. This looks to be in an uptrend, and I'm just playing around a bit, trying to catch the tops and bottoms of the trend.

Also playing with WFR and BLUD in the same way. Taking profits and trying to get back in for less than I paid the previous time. If they run away from me, I do not chase ... like OMCL, where I took profits several times and then it took off without me.

Bought BLUD again for $35.09 at about the time I picked it in the POTW this afternoon.

They just announced record revenues and esrnings, and at 25 cents exceeded the 22 cent estimates.

Seems to be moving up a bit here in response after hours.

Also playing with WFR and BLUD in the same way.

WFR:
Bought 9/25 at $61.70, sold 10/2 at $62.50. (+1.3%)
Bought 10/3 at $61.75, sold 10/4 at $63.05. (+2.1%)

So far, so good, just hope it doesn't break out and run away like OMCL did.

I think I'll just hold the BLUD that I bought yesterday for $35.09 for a while.

Shoulda' just stayed out of this while I was ahead. NBR warning put the nail in this coffin, so I bailed out of PTEN today at $22.10 for a loss of 2.7%. Taking this thing off my list altogether. Also sold SCLD today at $1.38.

That leaves me with BLUD and a warchest. OK, so it's more of a skirmish chest. Will be looking for fresh blood to go with the BLUD.

Bought some EXAS at $4.06 this morning about the time I picked it for the POTW. It has run up nicely in the hour or so since then, so I entered a 5% trailing stop loss order (in real life, Rob/Peanuts won't let me do this for POTW).

As I type this, the trailing stop loss is at $4.33. So, I'm guaranteed about a 6.6% return.

I know very little about EXAS. I went to marketwatch at about 10:00, to the screen for new nasdaq highs, started going down the list and picked this one.

You are probably safe...but there really are no guarantees

Stop is up to $4.46. Of course, it could halt, gap down, any number of things could go wrong. But as you know, I am "trading without fear", and sometimes also without a clue!

Stop was hit, executed at average $4.482.
Just over 10% gain in a few hours, that was fun.

Nice one Stenz

Back into AOB again at $12.68 and WFR at $63.95.
It was a mistake to set myself up to get stopped out of these two.
Still also holding BLUD.

Bought some WATG today, some at $8.17 and some at $8.00.
Showing some momentum in price and volume here, and a quick look shows they are expanding the business, with a low PEG.

WATG stop loss

Bought some WATG today, some at $8.17 and some at $8.00.

Another lucky pick here, and I don't want to lose all of it if it turns around and heads down while I'm not watching. Safety first. Entered a stop loss at $8.50, which would still be about a 4% gain. If it clear and holds $9.00, I'll change the stop to a trailing 5 or 6%. (This stop applies to the shares bought at $8.17)

WATG stop triggered

Entered a stop loss at $8.50, which would still be about a 4% gain.

Maybe I set it too tight - they took me out.

Trading WATG

Must not have been too tight, dropped like a rock for a bit after this, along with just about everything else. Anyway, this position is back in at $7.82.

10/09 Buy $8.17
10/11 Sell $8.50 (+4%)
10/11 Buy $7.82
