I sold today, because the stock has been gaining on light volume and believe that it is near a short term top. I got filled at $35.24

Cost Basis: $33.86
-5% Stop: $32.17
+20% Target: $39.43
Today it had a decent gain +1.19%, but on very light volume 39%. This is not a good sign, because it doesn’t have much conviction. Read about Acc/Disc.

This stock came to my attention last quarter and was on my watch list. It was featured in this week’s Investor’s Business Daily Vol 35 N.O. 14 For the Week of July 9, 2018. This was #49 of the IBD50 and Friday’s Close was $33.63. I plan on making a market order to get filled
I closed out my position today, because I had at one point a 10% gain and that mostly evaporated today. I got filled at $46.86 and I still had a slight gain. There are only a few days left till they post earnings and don’t feel that the stock should be trading like this. I had expected a loss, but not in this percentage

My order was not fulfilled and the stock gaped up and I cancelled the order. Trying again another day
I sold today and got filled at $32.90. It wasn’t at my 20% target wasn’t hit, but I didn’t like the chart. It had a steady climb on light volume and I wanted to lighten up. Oil is close to $75 a barrel and has given the stock a reason to rise. I don’t have a firm conviction in the uptrend and figured this was a good time to sell. I am currently looking for another opportunity

This had appeared again in this week’s IBD50 Vol 35 N.O. 12. I bought this again this morning. See the post VNOM 2018-03-20
What had caught my attention is the cross over of the 8 Day EMA over the 65 Day EMA. Also MACDH looked like it is crossing over the zero line
I had been stopped out of my position in Wildhorse Resource WRD. Then it broke down further and the stop kept the losses small. Having more cash available I was looking for another opportunity

I have been stopped out of the position. I was wrong and it closed below my stop level. I believe that the bullish sentiment has been spent and I am contemplating buying a put to recap the losses
I started watching this one on 2018-05-07, because it was featured in Investor’s Business Daily – IBD Weekly VOL 35 N.O 35 New America
I had sold Viper Energy VNOM and now have cash free for another opportunity.
I am looking to Buy 100 shares HOME around today’s close $36.75

I closed out of the position today, because I didn’t like the way it was trading. Yesterday Goldman Sachs posted a report that said that China tariffs would hurt At Home. I was sitting on about 10% profit and it plunged on the news and I had a -2% loss midday. It recovered, but I felt that something was really wrong with the market. Normally there is not a 12% in the price of this company.

I still will be watching this company for some time, because I like the story of the stock and think that it could be a long term play later

I bought 1 OTM $40 Call with September 21, 2018 Expiration. It is a few weeks until the report earnings and the chart has been shaping up as it is approaching
I place a Limit order at $1.20 during the morning and the stock was at $37.12. The stock started the morning up and I was not filled right away. The stock must have drifted down some in the afternoon or a market maker wanted my money to take the other side and I got filled

This option expired worthless and I lost the whole amount. This one I had bought the option within the earnings date and was expecting a good bounce, but…
That didn’t happen and the down move wiped out the value. It never recovered
Feeling kinda aggravated with option buying set up. I was buying a call 2-3 weeks ahead of an earnings announcement. Here’s the rub – the company adjusted the reporting date. When that it hit the stock broke down and wiped out all value on option. Drat

This is a numbers game strategy and I’m having trouble with that style
This was in this week’s IBD Weekly VOL 35 N.O. 9 – IBD50. This was something that I had noticed before, but I had missed it. The stock looks like it is coming out of a consolidation period
I got filled today at $27.43

I closed out my position today, because it hit my stop. I got filled at $26.00 and I lost about 5%. This never really turned positive. There were a few days that were positive, but it has been breaking down. There is a very narrow range. I’ve been in this position for 10 days
I had seen this before last year, but passed on the opportunity. This came up on my radar from last week’s Investor’s Business Daily. I had thought this was going to be turning upward. They post earnings July 31, 2018
I started watching Upland Software, Inc. (UPLD) on 2018-03-23 from researching Investor's Business Daily Volume 34 N.O. 51 Week of March26, 2018. I had liked the uptrend and placed this on my list of stocks to watch.
I believe that this is a good time to buy, because it is crossing the MACD zero line on the upside. It looks like the base is forming and there should be an upside bounce to around $31. They post earnings on Aug 10, 2018.
Cost Basis: $28.73
Upside Target: $35.78
Stop Loss (-7%): $26.72
This stock appeared in today’s Investor’s Business Daily Stocks on the Move
It closed today at $21.79 on strong volume and I liked the chart. They are posting earnings on Apr 26, 2018 and I wanted to buy the options beyond this date.
