Today Portfolio Adjustment (05-06-2013)

Today was a quiet day.

Market opened neutral with an upward bias and $APRI looked good at the open.  It wanted to go higher so I bought some to nudge it along.  Nope, $APRI price action collapsed not long after I bought so I sold it to cut losses pronto.

Both $SZYM and $BCRX were under attack from the get go so I reduced my position size on both to reduce risk.

Meanwhile, $CREE was showing strength by taking out Friday high so I added more.

$VECO, unfortunately, was also under attack and price went below the mid-point of Friday bar so I sold to take the small losses.

$CVI showed strength and I added more to get the full size position.

Later, $BCRX was stabilizing and looked like it was bouncing, I bought back a bit to bring my position to 50% of original size.  Earlier, I sold down to 1/3 position size.

I’ve been looking at $NFLX for short and today might be the day to start.  I bought the June 215 put option to start.

Both $AMRN and $TINY had healthy upside movement today.  Let’s see if the uptrend can continue from here.

Current holdings:

AMRN, LRAD, TINY, CVI, SZYM, CREE, GLUU, BCRX and 25% cash.
