Small Gainer
Bought Realty Income Group
Stock was said to have topped off and didn't move that much today, but today it went up a tiny bit.
After $10 of commisions to Questtrade im left with $14.80, definately better than a loss which I have still not had since all my trades this year.

Guess (another gift for my valentine?)
Bought Guess earlier today and just sold it.
So Applebees paid for the dinner, and Guess paid for a nice apparel from its Brand for my valentine.
Applebees
You know the stock markets up when....
Also bought Applebees yesterday after it was already up, and it went up even more.
Might pay for a nice little dinner with a girl at Applebees.
I really like Jim Cramers latest quote.
"BUY HIGH, SELL HIGHER"
Lately chasing those rising stocks and selling them higher is working great.

Wish I Had Slept In
LGF shot up to over 3.00 % today to the 11.70 reach even.
If I hadn't woke up for the trading day I would of held this position and made some nice profit like I first expected this trade would.

Lions Gate Films
Bought Lions Gate films (LGF) last friday at 11.14 before its earning report was to be released.
It had lots of good news with Saw III with great number of ticket sales, and annoucement that the movie will also be out on Blu-ray.
But to my dismay it went down in after hours from 11.19 to 11.00 and that made me want to pull out.
So today morning I put in a sell order at 11.19 and it got filled.. Not sure how that works.

Sold Selectica
Didn't stick to my word like I posted last night. Decided to put in a limit order at 1.81 instead of 1.80 :-)
Order went through and a total profit of $70, but only $50 after commisions.
So thats 5 trades in a row for profit
Happy I sold because it a high of 1.83 but now went back down to 1.70, would of ended my streak.

Other Two Holdings
Still have been holding Broadcom and Nortel for a very long time. Close to a year.
Anyways those were my bad days, where I'd hold stocks for a long time. I'm still holding onto it as I'm waiting for that account to be transferred to QuestTrade. Grhhh hope it goes through fast.
I had bought Broadcom for $45.40 Last March
Today its 34.07
Nortel I bought a while back for 3.46 if memory serves me correctly.
Now after the 10:1 split, it's 29.20, so equivalent to 2.92
Nortel has seen lows of 19.00 (equivalent to 1.90) , which was a 45% loss (CRAZY?!) but now its gone to only a 15% loss.
Will be getting out of these positions quickly.

Selectica, Inc.
Bought 1000 shares of Selectica, Inc. at $1.74
In after hours went up to $1.80
1000 shares costs a commision to questrade of $10.00 (1 cent per share) so I had to cover $20 for a profit.
Put in a sell at $1.84 but it fell short of that.
Tommorw morning will wake up early and put in a sell at $1.80 to make a profit or $1.76 to break even.

Okay this is Surreal (4 for 4)
Another trade for a profit.
This time I bought WSPI (Website Pros Inc.)
Bought at 9.83 (MARKET ordered it)
Reason I market ordered it is because I have placing orders at 1-5 cents below. Mainly lately its been just 1 cent below current price. Then the stock starts moving and I feel like I've missed it and then the regrets start. First i tried to get it at 9.73 when it was 9.74, then it wet up to 9.80 so I placed a market order and it filled it in at 9.83 right away.
Being in the online sector you can pick up general sense of certain companies and how they're doing. Website Pros has some great identities like 1shoppingcart.com etc.
Well after being up already 2% in the day, once I bought it I placed a limit sell order at 10.40. Never be to greedy. The stock shot up much above that all ways to 10.90
Thats 4 straight stock trades I've done for profit using some simple steps mostly picked up Jim Cramer.
- First never hold a position for more than a week
- Do a least one hour research. Now this might seem hard for many people at first. Note that I'm in the middle of midterms right now and still have had enough time to sneak in this research. I researched at around 11:45 and bought close to the end of the bell.
This is one of the great things about not holding a stock for a long period of time, it doesn't strap you to keep researching the stock. Once you have time you start trading again.
So to close it up, for today, theres my net profit. (First field includes commision fees).
