Chefs Warehouse Holding -CHEF

2018-12-13

This trade idea came from scouring through IBD Weekly. When reading this I'm focusing on stocks in the $20-40 range, because I buy in round lots in order to be able to sell a call against it - Covered Calls

This first hit my radar in the Vol 35 NO.33 Week of November 19, 2018 issue where it was featured in Stock Spotlight. I did not take action, because I was committed in Twitter at the time.

Then it popped up again in the Stock Spotlight section of the Vol 35 NO 34 Week of November 26, 2018 and I was still pretty committed.

CHEF showed up again in the Vol 35 NO 35 Week of December 3, 2018 issue in the Stock Spotlight section

I bought on 12/03 and this hit a Time Stop. If I buy a stock and it is not making me money by 7 days it a sell. Yesterday I was down a 1-2% and I sold this morning

I got filled at $38.56
-5% stop = $36.63
20% Target = $42.27
