CMVT..RXSD..JEF, WTSLA, URBN, GNET, USWB, BVSN BVSN.. sell limit hit and BVSN was sold at 64 for over 20 point gain on three separate entries, still holding 200. VRIO.. did absolutely nothing still holding USWB.. I closed this postion last week unfortunately with a 2 point lss WEBT.. sold a few hundred shares but otherwise I still have a three digit gain in this company GNET.. decided to sell 500 shares simply because its been a while and I expect profit taking to set in. sorry I couldnt get to the codes, I tried to get as much 'calls' out to you allowing for the the phones and other work I had to take care of today. Fortunately I can be back full time tomorrow. URBN had a buy signal this morning and showed nice anticipation. WTSLA had pulled back a bit but nothing disturbing as long as you had your stops in. JEF.. the reason I chose it was simply becasue I had SCH for a few weeks and I sold it at a nice profit and it was too expensive to re-enter when I realized the brokerage sector was continuing its advance so I looked for an alternative. Often you can get a 'clone' of the heavy hitter if the heavy hitter (SCH) eludes you. It works also in the semiconductor sector, you can latch onto the small stocks that ride on the coattails of its higher priced brethren. RXSD.. although I;m very skeptical about the cellulite pills I think the company is long since overdue for a 'break out' which showed signs of appearing last night and fully broke out this morning. CMVT.. I know they are not easy but you will see when the stock 'pops' the option volume is higher and you can then proceed to sell or buy or whatever you want to do. I did not want to chance the stock since it is now very expensive. I had the stock for a swing trade safely further off than the actual report date. I was going to buy the JBL options yesterday and do the same but it was harder to get a good position in those options. but the strategy for 'high risk' tech stocks is to take an option position if the company is particularly attractive to you AFTER you have made money on the swing trade or even if you haven't yet made the swing trade.
