back into CRDN again at $48

[stenzrob]

bailed out of AVAV at 23.62 for a very slight gain.

The chart doesn't look all that great, the volume is low, and they report tonight and I'm not really all that confident about what they're going to say.

You're a smart guy.

You're a smart guy.

Thanks newborn. I've been lucky lately holding through earnings with several, including BLUD, WFR, and SIGM. I was pretty confident about each one. Better safe than sorry. I am "trading without fear", but not entirely "without a clue".

bought NTWK at $3.03
bought WATG again at $10.55
... both in the account where I'm not looking for quick turnaround gains

All funds currently back at work now.
CRDN, AOB, SDTH, WATG, NTWK in slow account where I focus more on on undervalued.
RGEN in the fast account for momos. No, I said momos.

In the "aw, shoot" column ... Several days ago, while the market was down, I was looking for fresh highs, noticed SOLF and considered buying it at $18, but wasn't quick enough and decided to wait for a pullback to buy. Snooze -> lose.

bought NTWK at $3.03

Well, this is working out nicely so far.

[stenzrob]

SDTH is challenging highs today on decent volume.
Over $9 puts my position from $8.22 firmly in positive territory.

stops

bought some RGEN for $5.25

This has gone in the right direction.
Just placed a 25 cent trailing stop order for this, which should be outside the normal volatility.
When entered, the stop is at $5.32, enough for over 1% gain.

Also entered stops for NTWK at $3.10 (+2.3% from my $3.03 buy yesterday) and SDTH at $8.60 (+4.6% from $8.22 buy on 11/30).
This account doesn't have the trailing stop feature, so I will have to adjust as needed.

Simply protecting profits.

SDTH stop triggered, and executed at $8.65.
Bought at $8.22 a week ago, +5.2%.

[stenzrob]

RGEN stop triggered, executed at $5.3703.
Bought at $5.25 on Tuesday, +2.3%.

Back into ININ again, at $27.50.

Back into ININ again, at $27.50.

and some more ININ at $26.95.

SDTH stop triggered, and executed at $8.65.
Bought at $8.22 a week ago, +5.2%.

Well, this turns out to have been unfortunate.
Oh well ... as they say "you can't go broke taking profits".
Using stops has saved my bacon at least as many times as it has thrown me out of a position that then reverses and turns up, I think.

bought WATG again at $10.55

WATG took a hit this morning on news of a private placement of 10M newly issued shares, priced at $8.65. For the long term, I find it encouraging that some institution(s) are interested in investing a large chunk in WATG.

Note to self: Once you have hundreds of millions of dollars, don't buy stock on the open market, negotiate a deal to buy at a discount.

stops triggered today

Stops triggered by post-fed announcement market plunge.
CRDN at 48.45, for +0.9% gain since 12/4.
AOB at 11.65, for -7.9% loss since 11/6.
NTWK at 3.10, for +2.3% gain since 12/5.

Maybe the market will just rebound after the knee-jerk selloff, maybe not. I don't know and I'm not going to try to guess. Using the stops limits my downside in case it doesn't.

Leaves me holding only ININ and WATG, both currently in the red.
