Default Stock Tip #1


#1 8-5-08

I think I'll share my stock trading activity for awhile with the
group. The goal is to demonstrate I can average a return
of at least 5% per week, every week. I believe if I'm more
diligent, the reason for posting, I should be able to double that.
For those of you that slept through math, 5% a week, reinvesting
profits, translates to all the money you could ever need.

Play along if you dare!


Bought 2500 shares of ticker auth this morning at $7.285.
With a stop loss set at $7.1
Looking for $8.50 ish by early next week.

Sounds okay. With $100 down at 5% per week, after just ten years you
have $9.936 x 10^12. Not quite equal to US GDP but pretty close.

Or, be patient and keep going for another ten years, and you'll have
$10^24. About $10000 for every star in the universe. Not bad.

The best part is if you decided to be a humanitarian and share your
fortune equally among every person on planet earth, you'd be giving each
person about ten thousand billion dollars each. What a guy!

Sold auth late today at $8.02, for a one day gain of 10%
and a profit of about $1850.

Tomorrow my watch list will have tickers rbcn, mall and slw
looking for entry points if some profit taking happens
early, although each has already bounced somewhat.
And with more interest watching tickers fmr and nog
for signs of a bottom tomorrow or Friday.

There's just so many!


Cheers!

Of course! The favorite Bush/Cheney corporation, Lockheed (lmt)
was at about $20 a share in 2000, it's now at about ....$100 a share.

SELL !!!

The big aerospace folks have had their day.

Of course the amount one can invest has to be tailored to the
size of the company. Generally no higher than one or two percent
of the daily float. My pattern works best between roughly
one to ten million dollar daily floats. So fifty to a hundred grand
at a time is probably the practical upper limit on trading scale.

And since these patterns typically can be found one to three days
before the bounce, probably two or three plays a week is
pushing things. While I'm working, I have to sneak around
and use my cell phone for trading, so it's not responsible to
scale it much higher than this. But once I can do it full
time I fully anticipate having two trading kitties of 50
grand each averaging about 5% a week.

And I think that's being conservative. Let's see what my
average is a month from now.

It's just so much fun, and a way of having an income until
I become senile~

Good thinking. All the Dingleberries from Uranus were brown when they
shipped.
