I took a 35% gain on PDX today.

That's 2 of my 5 stocks that have already reached my target of 35%. PROG and PDX

I also sold NMGC prematurely, taking a loss of 9%. It was the only tech stock among my five, and I didn't feel comfortable with the way that the market was treating that sector in the last couple of days. So I chickened out, and abandoned my original exit strategy of selling at a 35% gain or six weeks after purchase, whichever came first.

I'm still sticking with my original exit strategy for my two remaining stocks, LII and AOR, which are now -2% and +5%, respectively, from my cost basis.

Altogether, I'm up 13% net, for all 5 stocks. That's my performance for one week. The Russell 2000 is down a couple of percentage points, over the same period.

I'm very pleased.
