I recently started a stock picks group where I share all my stock trades in real time, tell members what stocks I am buying, and give analysis on the stock market. I also highlight key pre market and after hours news and just try to create a daily trading plan so that we can all make money. Most importantly, I share with members the right way to trade so that they can make more winning trades and avoid losses.
Below is analysis of my trades from June 25, 2012 - June 29, 2012. I had a 3 out of 5 success rate, with one open position that is even.
Alexza Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ALXA) - Alexza Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ALXA) was the first stock I bought Monday morning at $4.35. A few minutes later I sold at $4.65 for a monster gain of 8% in a short period of time.
Osiris Therapeutics, Inc. (OSIR) - Osiris Therapeutics, Inc. (OSIR) was a stock I took a flier on at $12.65 because I thought the stock was about to hit a new 52 week high. I placed a stop loss order at $12.35 which was triggered for a minor loss. A few days later, OSIR went on to rally up into the mid $14's.
Amyris, Inc. (AMRS) - Amyris, Inc. (AMRS) was my best trade of the week. I bought the stock at $3.70 because it broke above resistance in the $3.50's and rallied. After some consolidation, AMRS surged into the close Monday and gapped up above $4 in pre market on Tuesday. I sold at $4.11 on June 26, 2012 for a monster gain. AMRS hit $4.45 on Friday!
Nanosphere, Inc. (NSPH) - On Wednesday, I purchased a small position in Nanosphere, Inc. (NSPH) stock at $2.50 after the company received FDA Clearance. The stock failed to break out so I dumped it for a minor loss at $2.35.
Patriot Coal Corporation (PCX) - Patriot Coal Corporation (PCX) was a stock I bought at $1.19 on Wednesday. I ended up selling the next day at $1.24 for a decent gain. I left a lot on the table because PCX hit $1.45 on Friday. However, the stock ended up closing at $1.22 Friday so I am analyzing PCX for my next trade.
Samson Oil & Gas (SSN) - I'm not going to give many details on SSN since it is an open trading position but I started a small position at $1.10 on Friday. I have a level where I will sell out for a minor loss and I have levels where I will place large buys. I will be doing fundamental analysis and stock analysis for my group members this weekend.
Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (SUPN) - Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (SUPN) was a trade that got away from me last week. I alerted members about the FDA tentative approval news before pre market. SUPN opened pre market at $7, traded up to $8.50. The stock broke though the high of the day at the open which was a buy signal but the huge gap higher made me very nervous so I decided not to buy. The stock later hit $14. Several group members made some monster trades on this stock so I was very happy.
We had another great week. Thursday was pretty much a lost day because I had some computer related issues that I had to deal with. All the issues have been resolved and I am 100% up and running again. Excited for another week ahead!
We will be back at it in the Stock Picks Group on Monday -http://www.stockstobuy.org/group/stock-picks
