BCSI - trade alert update . . .

Since I believe the mkt has a good chance to give back some of its recent gains this/next week, I decided to close out the profitable BCSI trade at ~$22.46.

Recall that this trade is from my Proprietary Trading Model No. 1 (currently working on three models - see gblog for the details of all three).

While this one was quite profitable, the real lesson here is that I probably should've taken this profit months ago on its first burst through $22 b/c then I could have reloaded for second ride as these seem wont to do.

BCSI - status update . . .

just a quick note - this trade, knock on wood, has gone almost to perfection according to the plan developed based upon my proprietary model, i.e., it bounced hard like a rubber band as I expected thru $20 and up to $22.45 - now comes the interesting part. I could have sold at $22 and change (indeed, I had a limit order in place to do just that}, but I changed the LO because I suspect that this one has a better than good chance to see the $24 range sooner than later.

New Trade Alert - some might say, catching a falling knife again - I would say a trading oppty identified by my proprietary trading model. Stay tuned to see who prevails. Last Monday, company warned via Pre-Announcement and stock went down hard, really, really hard. After the bell tonight, they formally released earnings and also warned on guidance going forward. The stock got whacked in AH from a close of $24.50 today.

Here's the last week or so trading specs

I did some DD last week after she crashed on Feb. 6th because it looked like she could come into the proprietary trading model range. Strong cash position. High Short Interest. Small float.

Symbol is BCSI. In at ~$20.12 AH
