Last day of the quarter and like I thought, the markets closed higher today. Wanted to end the quarter looking positive. End of the month, a bad month for me. I let loses run high, still have 2 now with plans to cut one on first red day. Other waiting for earnings as I like their growth strategy. Closed few positions today and opened 2, one of which was a gap play and other was in optionhouse account. Lets get to the chase.
OH account:
Sold all of my position in MINE. It hit .04 and that was earliest I could sell with a limit order. Think this result will be a loss after commission. Have to wait for econfirm to be available because I am not sure what fees will be for this sell order. Somewhere around 15 to open position and that would put me at a loss. Prolly won't update this, but I expect small loss maybe $15-20.
Bought PESI. Super alerted and it had a seeking alpha article over the weekend. I bought right at top so I should I have looked harder at charts before buying. Need to like these for the charts, then discover story to determine how long I want to hold. Not holding near as long as I previously thought was ok, shift in strategy.
IB account:
premarket I sold STEV. was part of wolfpack picks. Very small gain around 20, but out and one less position to monitor. Mainly the other potties/wolf picks. Just trying to break even on them not looking for anything else right now. Prices too low for me to play in future. Absolute lowest price will be a dime. I need real number to work with.
Bought FORD right at its breakout mark of 2. Ended the day under this value, but think it is a good candidate to gap up. So didn't use a day trade and had huge volume today. Will be monitoring it closely tomorrow. If gaps up will try to sell half and let other roll for a little. Reminder to self to not get greedy on picks and small profits will add up and also can not hurt me. If it goes red tomorrow I will sell as I aim to make this a big rule moving forward.
