TRADE REVIEWS: GENZ, CYCC, VVUS

My trades from yesterday and all of this week so far has put my YTD gains at over 10%. Yesterday was the best day of the year so far, despite my absence. I am trading, but I am sitting in a small advanced sociology winter class at the same time between 9am-12pm. To make up for the lack of real-time trades, I decided to continually post screenshots of all of my trades. I'd like to see more people do that since there's so much bullshit flying around on the internets.

Before I continue, don't forget to vote for me in the ShortAwards (Finance category) here: http://shortyawards.com/WeeklyTA. Help me beat out #9's Suze Orman and others and take a top 5 spot for iBankCoin. I greatly appreciate it.

GENZ was a cool momentum pattern. It is an example of being patient for a stock that has spiked intra-day AND sustained/based itself. We wait for the secondary breakout, which I did. I first caught GENZ at $50.88-90 and my final exit trades were at $52.30-31.


Who would have known that CYCC was going to be up +152% for the day? I didn't, but I kept playing it multiple times and as far as I could. Since there's really no way to predict a 100% gainer, you just have to roll with it and focus on each setup as they come. Never ditch a stock on your watchlist because it's "up too much". I first caught CYCC at $1.5199 with my last trades ending at $1.91-92 before leaving to run some errands.



VVUS was a pre-market volume mover and opening breakout play. The execution was near perfect and I made two solid profitable trades in it ending around 11AM with both adding around 1-1.5% each.


Lesson: Don't ignore the secondary breakouts.
