Last day of April

Had me some activity today! Early on, I was up a fair bit, mostly on the strength of BEAV. BEAV apparently had the kind of good earnings that make the stock go up, not down. It held on in the late day market drop to post a very nifty 5.53% gain. All told, I lost just over 3/4 of a percent, but about .16% less than the DJW5K. That served to narrow the gap a bit in April, but I still took a defeat for the month. More on that in my next post.

I lost three today - AGU this morning, IR and DYN. AGU posted a nice little 4.97% win in 20 days and DYN was a very satisfying +35.61% over 69 days. Not too shabby.

IR, on the other hand, posted a -2.24% loss over 7 days. If you're going to lose, lose as little as is reasonable as quickly as possible. IR did that. Still, given how I pumped up the chart formation, I am disappointed with its performance. Goes to show why I don't bother with different entry sizes depending on my expectations for the stock. Win some, lose some, cut the losers short and let the winners run. Done.

I bought AH at the end of the day.






Nice looking trend there. May it go on forever.
