My order got filled in the morning at $33.86
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

The rankings are not the CANSLIM and I would normally pass on this opportunity. I think this company has a good product and is well placed in the shift away from cable TV.

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
