Best Bears in my Portfolio - shorted stocks

Here is a portfolio that I started about 5 weeks ago and I have to follow the guidelines of hedge/mutual fund managers and stay compliant. My first month, I have beat the S&P by apprx +25% !!! Bears never looked so good, take a look at these gains (all within the last few weeks) They are looking for the top "joe-smoe" investors in the world; plus they use the the top virtual-investment ports to take the trades and apply them into their own real mutual fund. After my first month, I am currently topping a few thousand others! **NOTE- the 3 with the lowest returns were purchased today




In order to be eligible for rankings, you must follow the same diversification rules that real-world fund managers must face. We require that you meet these rules for a majority (51%) of a given quarter in order to be compliant — so we‘ve designed this report to help you keep track of your current compliance statistics, as well as your historical compliance and ranking eligibility.

Because your maximum short value represents a 2:1 leverage in comparison to a long fund, the percentages below are calculated as if your maximum short position represented 200% of your position value. There are a few simple rules to remaining compliant:


  1. You cannot short a stock so that it will increase a short position to over 25% of your portfolio‘s short value. If you violate this rule, your fund's effective inception date will be reset to the date that you bring the fund back into compliance with all compliance rules (not just the 25% rule).
  2. No position may represent more then 10% of your fund. If a short position represents more then 10% of your fund value your fund will be out of compliance until you cover enough of the position to bring it below the threshold. (However, your inception date will not be reset.)
  3. Your short investments must total at least 65% of your fund value. For example, if your fund starts out with $1,000,000 in cash, you must have $650,000 in short positions to be compliant.
  4. You may not have negative excess margin for more than 7 days per quarter. If you have gotten a margin call because your excess margin has disappeared, then you have violated this rule for one day. Each new day that you have negative excess margin adds to that total.
While these rules can be challenging, except for the first rule, you need not meet all these rules on all days. See the table below for details.

Free Stock Pick for June 26 2008 - options too!

Here are the results from Wed plays along with a free pick for Thurs

June 25, 2008:

  • (ACTG) ~ sell short, system; if you followed "guidelines" - this never started to drop as I was way off on this trade Foot in mouth unless you placed this order to initiate at open (I know everyone cann't watch the prices at/after the open) - it steadily climbed all day, so you never saw an oppertunity to sell short as it gained +8.53% ; if you did place the order for the open, it was a loser at the 3% stop limit; in the future, I am currently working on entry points for those of you that cann't watch the ticker at the bell. **Note- when daytrading, you really should be able to have access to your online broker and some time during the trading session to monitor your trades. Also, all of the results that I post from my recommendations are if you entered at the open and used system; it'll work that way but if you can pick and choose when you enter it just adds more odds in your favor!
  • (CPF) ~ sell short at/above 11.00, use system; again, depending on your entry but... this was given out today in the Live Trading Room @ 10:15 to sell short @ 12.10 (also was emailed out to all members & subscribers as a trade alert also at 10:15) - A Winner as it then hit a low of 11.28 making the days high gains of +7.27%
  • (NWPX) ~ buy long, system; A Winner! high of +2.91%
  • (WAB) ~ buy long, system; A Winner! high of +3.29%

__________________________________________________________

June 26, 2008: (upgrade to gain access to all the top picks)

  • (TELOZ) ~ bull, system play; this equity has no "quit" in sight- take a look...

The price of oil will never go down even if the dollar recovers ground. The question is will the proven reserves within the TELOZ trust continue paying out $0.60 a share? For the time being, and with the Atlantic exploitations they currently operate, beating the S&P over the next couple years shouldn't be a problem.

Tel Offshore is up an unbelievable 300% over the last year

  • (-----) ~ a long, system play
  • (-----) ~ a long, system play
  • (----) ~ sell short at/above 10.65; if this doesn't trigger before 12noon, sell short at noon if (----) is at least above 10.50, if not, then disregard the trade today. If it does trigger, use system
  • (-----) ~ is carried over into Thursday using an entry at the 19.50 area
  • I found a great Option Call using (------) that can be found where I post the top Option Trades, daily! www.OptionDaytrades.com

Currently @ 4.30 after taking a big hit this morning; enter when levels off or any sign of upward momentum; look for a 25% gain before closing this position; we hit the 25% mark and closed today, Monday June 23rd, up +23.26%!!!

    • (XME) ~ I highly recommend this as a longer term play- this refers to the option above & below
      • SPDR Metals & Mining ETF made up of all of the hottest equities going! Over 1/3 of the portfolio is made up of coal co. stocks, followed by iron/steel stocks, and it's topped off with holdings in the metal & mining fabrication field. This ETF has been rollin' as it looks like it'll never run out of "steam" Wink

Stock Results are again Perfect - July 19 && 20 2008

June 19, 2008:Results are in Purple

  • (CCL) - system play to sell short; if shorted in ext am (the posting was not up until 9:30) then it dropped +3% before running the wrong way which triggered the sell stop @ the 3% loss Frown
  • (FSYS) - system play to buy long; A WINNER as it just passed our +2.50% goal Money mouth
  • (TITN) - system play to buy long; A WINNER if you waited to execute order until the stock turned and started to rise (leveled out) at 9:45 through 1/2pm then ran up to what would have gave you our goal, running up to apprx. 3.5% ; if you opened a position @ the open, your holdings should be sitting up around 2.23% and will be carried into Friday to pull the +2.5% target Wink

_____________________

June 20, 2008: results @ close in Purple

  • (IBNK) ~ enter at/above 10.50; sell short, system; A WINNER! ...opened above the recommended trigger and hit a days high of +7.25%
  • (FSNM) ~ sell short, system; AWINNER! ...hit a days high of +3.90%
  • (CPF) ~ sell short, system; A WINNER! ...hit a days high of +5.75%
  • (GMR) ~ enter at/below 28.00; buy long, system; A WINNER! ...if entered exactly at the $28 trigger, you saw the target hit as it then ran over an addl' +3.50% ~ if you watched this play before placing an order, you should of allowed it to fully drop before submitting the order and could have aquired it @ 27.20, this then added over an addl' +6.50% today! either way, there was plenty of room with your entry point to later close this position, hitting our target point! Cool
  • (RECN) ~ buy long, system; if you opened a position exactly at the open without seeing if it would quickly move, giving you a better entry price, (unless you do not have internet access at the opening bell, then you should always watch the price movement at open because if you noticed, 90% of the plays that I post usually move significally the other way for the first 15-30mins of trading!) apprx entry at 9:35 - $21.75, then it'll carry over into Mondays trading session. If you followed what I have stated in the past, you would have allowed the equities cost drop until you saw some signs of a turn-around, then you could have hit our goal before the close if you executed the trade around 10:15am, which turned around and later added over +4.25% gains making this A WINNER!
  • (XME) ~ a recommended long-term play (at least a month)
    • SPDR Metals & Mining ETF made up of all of the hottest equities going! Over 1/3 of the portfolio is made up of coal co. stocks, followed by iron/steel stocks, and it's topped off with holdings in the metal & mining fabrication field
    • XME is a long-term trade. You may apply your personal sell stop limit if you wish but I recommend that we hold onto this equity for at least a few weeks before re-visiting and analyzing it again.

This is in reference to my flagship site, www.dailydaytrades.com
Join Now Free and receive about 10% of the plays; upgrade to a full member and get all of the picks that have been over 90% accurate, year-to-date! Make $$ as an affiliate (join free and become an affiliate) post a link/article on your blog and I will upgrade the first 25 to respond to a full member plus you will make a monthly, passive income!

If you started out with just $5,000 and managed to make only 10% per month investing in stocks, which is way under our average, you could end up with $1.5 Million in just 5 years. I've worked up a chart that shows you just how easily your money can expand if you have it working for you. Our goal here is a 2% Daily gain (plus commissions; we set sell limits at 2.50% to allow for addl' fees) - Start with $10,000 and manage to return a 2%, compounded daily gain, and do it for 1 year, that would also work out to a $1,500,000 portfolio value! Year-to-Date, I have been hitting the target more than 80% of all posted plays (using a low figure, say hit 4 out of every 5 picks; 4 trades that return +2.50% and 1 trade that initiates the 3% stop loss) this will work out to +7% ! Lets say I tank some days or you happen to only buy the "rare" losing trades from the field of choices, but if you enter into one or two of the recommendations/day and only hit a winning trade average of +62.50% (16 Winners & 10 Losers out of 26 trades) *Notice- this is a low average as all of my plays this year have been close to 90% correct. Using the 62.50% average is a good reference point to show you that even if the win/loss ratio is ever that low but is done monthly, you will get the 10% a month needed to accomplish the below reference!
