Stock Watch List (011218)

It has been awhile since I did the watch list.

Someone actually asked in private that if I own the stocks that I mentioned on the watch list. Yes, I do own some of them. So far, I am doing pretty ok.

BA has been kept on rising (I do own this). I feel that BA would reach higher due to all the new contracts for jet fighters. I can’t wait for the 4th quarter earnings report!

MSFT is one of my best-performing stocks. It has been steadily increasing since my purchase of MSFT and the return has been close to 40%. I wish I would have bought more. I will put more money on MSFT soon.

PEB is doing pretty well also. Close to 30% increase since I owned. I have a story on this stock. I initially wanted to buy PEP stock (PepsiCo) and miss typed and bought PEB. I didn’t notice it until a month after I purchased. lol. If I purchased PEP, I would have only gained 4%. Haha. God is there. PEB also has a pretty good dividend (5.109!!!).

Along with PEB, I also purchased KO. 8% return since I own. Not bad but… I think it’s time to sell and jump on something else.

One of my bad apples is S. It has been going up and down and I am at even point. Seems like the merger deal with T-Mobile is long gone… time to sell. argh…

Next up is AMD. This is also an interesting one. I stepped in when it was close to low $10. It went below $10 and went up to $12. I was excited to hear the INTC security issues which boosted AMD from $11 range to $12. There have been very good day trading opportunities since AMD has been bouncing between $11.80 to $12.20. But… I don’t have time to do day trade… =/ But! I am thinking that it will have another chance of hitting $14 range. I already placed a limit sell order on AMD at around $14. It has a pretty good track record of earnings reports so far. Only one part that makes me worry a bit is the ban on the mining operation in China. Hum… Will see how cryptocurrency roles.

I find pretty good swing trade opportunity in TSLA. I used to be long on TSLA but since their Mega Factory is not meeting the demand, it will not hit back to $380s anytime soon. However, it has been a good swing trade range. $310s ~ $335.

AUY and NEM. These are stocks that have been underground for a long while. Until recently, AUY popped up 30+% in a very short period of time! I told my friend to buy but I never bought. lol. Bah….

Well, more stories to come. I felt as if I vented rather than a review. lol

Enjoy your trading. Know how to ride out the waves. Do not panic with a negative trend. What goes up must come down but what went down must go up too. >=]

 

Dow Jones going 30,000?!

30,000 Dow. I never imagined. But at this rate of increase with the tax reform, I see why not? I expected some “crash” this year but seems like this uptrend will linger for some time. To be honest, I was going to sell all my holdings no later than Jan 2018 before this tax reform. I think I have to reconsider.

I woke up today and saw most of my stock portfolios shooting up. Seems like the tax reform is affecting them. I am expecting more uptrend due to the tax reform. Tax deferral will make investors keep their stock until next year. This will lead some bullish movement. Also, tax rate discount when securities are sold in 2018. Another bullish movement.

Below are some of the companies that would benefit the most from the tax reform.

Some of my favorites are VZ, AAPL, AMD (it jumped nearly 6% as of now!!!), BA, and COST.

Stock Watch List (112917)

Even with all the good earnings records, some stocks are being shorted! Chance of jumping in for me! Here are a few stocks that I have been watching and looking at some nice price to jump in.

ADSK – Dropped about 15% at this moment during the pre-market. $130s down to $110s.

AMD – New target price for me is $10.88 at the moment. I just missed the trading price earlier but will see.

BZUN – This stock has been good for some swing/pattern trade. Good wave patterns between $26s to $35s. Modest volatility is key for short-term trade.

Stock watchlist review (110717)

MSFT hasn’t come down! Unless there is another tech market crash, I don’t see that coming. So far, it has been steadily increasing. Almost 30% increase from earlier April with the $0.39/share dividend.

PEB also has been steadily increasing about 23% from the early April with the $0.38/share dividend. Rarely saw the stock plunging so far. It seems very safe stock for the beginners.

AAPL had some ups and downs. I didn’t expect the stock to hit above $170 after the iPhone X release since there were so many bad reviews prior to the release date. What a break trough!

AMD had a bad time. Dropping below $11! Yet, what an opportunity! I didn’t expect the stock to drop below $11.80 but $10.70s! Now, it’s back up to $12.06! With the soaring price of bitcoin at $7,000 (CRAZY!!!), AMD has quite of a strong tailwind. After Amazon purchasing some domain name relating to bitcoin, I see the future of bitcoin shinning bit more longer.

BA had some headwind for a few weeks even after the nice 3rd quarter financial report. I expect to reach $300 not too far from today due to all the military contract orders to fulfill. Still wondering about the date of merging with OA. um…..

One bad apple that I have on the list is the S. Sprint had news regarding merge with T-Mobile. A news is a news. Nothing more nothing less until it happens. hum…

Stock watch list

I have been dealing with a few stocks that have been “good” to me. Yes, I know that there are better stocks out there but these are what I know and what I have been gaining from. I generally do all trades; long term trades, swing trades, and a few day trades.

This list will be updated periodically.

TSLA – Buy queue @ $300.00 – $310.00
NVDA – Buy queue @ $160.00 – $163.00
AMD – Buy queue @ $12.00 – $12.10
AAPL – Buy queue @ 150.00 – $152.00

Missed cryto-currency hype?

A couple of days ago, I had a bad experience with Bitstamp with their slow processing of money transfer verification. So, instead, I went ahead and did some research and looked at AMD stock. A couple of years ago, when bitcoin hit $1400 for the first time, AMD stock took off along with it due to AMD’s graphic card demand.

10.90 was when I jumped in. At the time of writing this, it’s hitting at 12.67 and I expect to rise back close to its high record of $15.

It happens eh…

It just had to be bent… returning the item… buying new again… argh!

Hum.. wonder if I should try this…

Update!!! 12/07/13
I used mechanical pencil method and unbent them. It worked!!! YEAH!
