I finished the month up 5.6%, which feels good. My style is longer term holds, of maybe I'm just too slow to act! ;>) For positions I plan to hold more than a few weeks I use fundamental analysis and lots of DD . Doing better at writing down a plan, tracking positions, and establishing a selling discipline. Dabum has taught this dog well; many thanks!
Yet I wince when I reduce the little apparel engine that could, TRLG, after two days of selling, and then it pops 14% the very next day on a bullish report.

Such timing I have! But I can take comfort in my gains and the fact that TRLG is my 4th largest position, at 5.3% of the portfolio. (Cash is 16%)
Open positions discussed here include:
EZA, hit new high of $83 and pulled back to what I hope is support, the prior high of $80.
IPXL, down .53% Willing to hold for possible acquisition.
WFR, up 9.8%. Holding because it cleared prior tops of $12.4x and is flirting with setting new highs of $13.5x. MACD fuel cells have turned up nicely.
CTIC, down 4.8%. Qtrly report didn't have a lot to celebrate about IMO, but I'm willing to hold for trial results in a few weeks. A speculative biotech working on cancer treatments in my hometown, CTIC has its own thread on SI with some very smart people.
