Well it does indeed look as if we found the bottom [for now] last week and can expect a few weeks of upward movement in my portfolio.
I am seeing good success with many of the picks that I rode throught the past couple of weeks with a half a dozen above 10% return and 10 more in positive territory.
The close of last week brought me into the top 100 on the leader board, I hope that I can manage to stay there.
I have closed my positions on a few of the poorer performers (worse than -5%) that were showing less than encouraging trends (CDE, MNG, SIRI) I also divested AAPL last week as my trend data indicates they can expect a short term down swing, target $120.
I had an investment in CAVM which has shown a 16% return but several factors in my analysis indicate that they are losing strength and will see a reversal on some of this, target $23.50.
A not surprising recent skyrocket is VMW which I have riden to a 29% gain, and I see this one continuing, indeed I've added to my position on this one to make it the largest single position at 10% of my portfolio.
The 3:1 split on RIMM did wonders for my balance and OII, STAR, BBI & NUAN continue to be outperforms for me.
I have added positions in MTW, FMC & JCI providing some diversity in place of the positions I have closed, these all are looking and have splits in the near future.
I will continue to ride the core of my portfolio, keeping in the neighborhood of 90% invested and watch for opportunities to achieve the aggressive growth I've designed this portfolio for.
I'll be on the road this week ... we'll see how things look this time next week.
