Excellent play. Now go put your profits into a blue chip, rinse and repeat. :D
 
Re: 2nd ever closed out trade up $4492. Two from two!!!

I actually did it to aquire more Pen. I bought 180000 Penoa for the price of the sale of the Pen. Effectively increasing my holdings by another 40000 for the cost of $50 or so.

igot 90k or so in capital losses to loose up from when a broker was getting paid to loose my money!! So ill pay no tax.

Threads like this make me think a bull market top is coming.
 
Wow, congratulations Matt!
I remember the first time I made a successful trade...that awesome feeling :p:

Well done!!

I have been holding PEN for a while as well. I still think its a good company to hold.

I have been watching your timeline closely. It seems you got scared on the 15/2, and closed out early. Had you closed it on the previous day (closes .145) or waited for the next day (.150)

Nice work Matty! Even though 'Youngone' has a valid point to make in respect of your 'early exit', they do so on the basis of hindsight. It could have equally gone the other way and you would have been kicking yourself had you not sold.

My only suggestion would have been to perhaps have just sold 80,000 on 15/2 and take a 'punt' on the balance going up further.

Anyway, Not a bad profit for a few days work:)

I like PEN too Matty:D

Good going on the profits.

May I ask what prompted you to purchase those particular stocks, what gave you the impression that an up movement was about to occur and also what your target was?

Just wondering if you still like and hold PEN?
Is the list above, you accumulating or were you buying and selling in the run-up?
 
Re: 2nd ever closed out trade up $4492. Two from two!!!

Threads like this make me think a bull market top is coming.

Reading through this thread was interesting, from excited start to abrupt finish.
I'm curious to find out what happened, was he saved by his appropriate trading plan? Or did the idea of never ending 50% gains throw all that out the window?

Looking back at that chart at the time frames in this thread, it looks almost impossible not to have winning trades, so I'm guessing if one were successful in the sharp rise, they would probably be equally unsuccessful in the sharp fall that followed.
