Thanks for posting.
1. No they are not. I have not as of yet been able to find an easy way to do this. If you feel that having this would boost my credibility, then I will try to figure out a convenient way to do it.
2. Probably not. I never intended this sight, nor do expect to in the future, to be a stock picking service.
3. Correct.
4. I have no transaction costs, so taxes (considering all trades have been short-term) could be calculated at year end using an appropriate tax bracket.

1. Are the results you display audited independently by a financial firm?
2. Could you post buy and sell recommendations on your blog before executing the trades? Vision is a perfect 20/20 in hindsight!
3. According to your results in the last 87 days of trading you have not made a single loss making trade - correct?
4. Have you considered calculating trader returns after deducting transaction costs and taxes?

Thanks,

I had been watching it for a few weeks when it started slipping in early August. Then it slipped some more. At that point I couldn't get my hands on it soon enough. I really would have bought it at $52ish, the 52-week high, but $41? <br/><br/>Why did I sell it? Because the odds of any stock moving 70% without a hell of a lot of people wanting to take that 70%, seem rather slim to me. <br/><br/>I might play it again, if you're wondering, but I want to be certain its all shaken out first.<br/><br/>I wouldn't be surprised if it keeps its momentum (but of course, that's not necessarily a recommendation). Hi Danny,

I was looking at a variety of things. I had been watching it for a few weeks when it started slipping in early August. Then it slipped some more. At that point I couldn’t get my hands on it soon enough. I really would have bought it at $52ish, the 52-week high, but $41?

Why did I sell it? Because the odds of any stock moving 70% without a hell of a lot of people wanting to take that 70%, seem rather slim to me.

I might play it again, if you’re wondering, but I want to be certain its all shaken out first.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it keeps its momentum (but of course, that’s not necessarily a recommendation).

Hi DC,

Nice call on ACH. I was looking at a chart of that, and it really went crazy over the last couple of weeks.

What were you looking at when you bought that stock, and what made you decide to sell it when you did?
