Market had another strong bounce today.

However, the strong bounce only became evidence in the latter half of the day. Price is now near the top range of the previous consolidation range.

In the morning after the open, although price was higher, it wasn’t very convincing.  As a result, I sold my swing trade positions $GWPH to lock in profit; sold $CARA with very small gain, closed out $NUGT with a small gain (gave back a lot of gain from yesterday) due to lower open.

I also bought a starter position on $TZA and $FAZ to see if the market would drop later in the day.

Nope.

Due to my not paying close attention during the day, I had to close out my $TZA and $FAZ at a larger losses than I had planned for. Regardless, when I found out $TZA and $FAZ had fallen hard, I sold for losses without hesitation.  If I made a mistake of not paying attention, I should not try to compound the mistake by “wishing” for a bounce to reduce my losses.  Sell and move on.  Good thing I did ’cause the market rallied hard to the close which would have costed me more losses if I hadn’t sold.

With the market rallying hard, I bought back $NUGT looking for more bounce in the week.

From the look of the chart, $NUGT looks good for a continuing rally.

$SVA looks good for a bounce off the 79 & 89 MA lines so I bought back some position.

Love that green solid bar that used the 79 & 89 MA lines at the launching pad. I will add more if price takes out today high tomorrow.

Next, I added more $SEED.

$SEED mirrored $SVA on the bounce off the 79 & 89 MA lines.  I’ve been watching $SEED closely ’cause I don’t want to miss any sudden rally due to China’s decision on the GM seeds offered by $SEED.  An approval will pop this one up like a rocket launch in a high school science project.  But in a general market correction, everything goes down regardless of how compelling the story is; thus my being in and out for safety reason. Now, let’s see if this one can climb back up to $3.00.

I missed out on the continuing rally of $GWPH after I sold for smaller profit in the morning.  $GWPH rallied hard after I sold.. oh well, playing safe had its cost; but it definitely worth it and I’ll do it again if I feel/sense a market collapse in the horizon..

Despite my larger than planned losses on $TZA and $FAZ, my port bounced back today thanks to rallies from $LRAD and $SEED.

Current holdings:

LRAD, SVBL, SEED, NUGT, SVA and 52% cash.  Despite the waterfall market last week and this Monday, I am able to maintain the 12% gain for the year.

From the other account:

$MCIG continued to rally hard and barely took out the resistance level at $0.80xx.

If you look at the daily chart closely, you can see the head and shoulder pattern.  Both the left and right shoulder have a $0.80xx price level which prove to be a difficult resistance to break thru.  As a result, I sold my position to lock in gain,(or should I say ‘recover my earlier losses plus some’).

$FITX was getting hit today due to an article regarding the issue of a “barn” size.  Apparently, someone at the city council had decided the size of the barn doesn’t fit the definition.  To me, it is just political maneuver trying to get $FITX to pay a higher taxes to the city.  Hey, the way I look at it, it is a non-issue and price will bounce back once $FITX works it out with the city council.  Still holding long and strong.

My 2 cents.

Market broke out of the consolidation range and headed higher.

This definitely looked good for the rest of the week.  The next resistance is the previous high established in March 21st which when you think about it is not that long ago.  How price reacts to the old high will be telling…

$KNDI opened lower due to Cramer’s warning of “sell, sell, sell…”

Regardless of whether Cramer is right or wrong on his analysis of $KNDI, the last thing I wanted to do is to stand against his selling recommendation.   Thus, I sold in the morning not long after the open to cut my losses.  Although if I waited a bit longer, I could sell at close to breakeven; but one would never know if price would continue on a big waterfall or bounce, so it’s pointless to regret any action of cutting losses.

Next, with the free-cash made available from the three-day settlement, I added to $SVA, $SEED, and $AMRN.

$AMRN spiked up due to news of a co-promotion agreement with Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc.  Hey, at this point, any co-working relationship with any pharmaceuticals is a plus. Thus I added more.

Notice price opened higher and closed around the same area.  I like to see price takes out the previous high of $1.97 and then $2.00 from there.  Perhaps, just perhaps, I may be able to recover my previous losses on $AMRN; however, I’m not holding my breath for this.

$SEED took out yesterday high and I added more; but price closed below yesterday high.  I’m still holding my added shares.

$SVA opened higher and I added more as well.

Chart looked good so far with today price closed higher than the 5 MA line.  I like to see price takes out last Friday high.

Meanwhile, $CARA continued upward and put my position back in positive territory.

$CARA next resistance is the last pivot high of $20.40 established on 03/19/2014.

Despite a down day on $SVBL, my port continued to move up another notch thanks to $CARA, $AMRN, and $SVA.

Current holdings:

LRAD, SVBL, CARA, SEED, AMRN, SVA and 27% cash.

From my other account:

While $FITX ended the day slightly negative, $MCIG had a good bounce day.

I like the fact that price $MCIG price closed higher than the highs of the last five trading days.  Looking good so far.

My 2 cents.

The market finally had a strong up day that did not end up giving back the gain by day close.

However, as seen from the chart, it fell short of taking out the upper range of the consolidation range.  Thus, I wouldn’t say we are out of the wood yet.  The next few days will be telling.

This morning, I bought starter position on $SVA and $KNDI and sold $MZOR for small losses.

$SVA opened slightly higher and I bought for the bounce.

We have an inside bar today so that if price takes out today high tomorrow, I’ll add more.

$KNDI also opened higher so I bought a starter position as well.

Since I only bought a small starter position, I don’t mind holding even when price was against me at the close.  Price bounced slightly today but the possible of a V-shape bounce is still in the card.

Again, I was lucky to dump $MZOR before the collapse later in the day.

At first, price opened higher and I was glad.  However, when price began to drop and did not bounce despite the DOW was going higher, I had a bad feeling so I sold my positions by hitting the bids that were available.  I was able to unload a bit above $21.00 for small losses.   Later, the price dropped as low as $19.53 before bouncing back some.  “Cut your losses” fast always save my day.

The highlight of the day was $CARA which gave me a nice 12.65% up day.

I like the bullish engulfment bar today with higher than average volume.  Usually, a big bullish engulfment bar can kick start a rally; so let’s see how it goes this week.

$SVBL did not do so well today.

It dropped below the range of the last seven days.  Since I’m committed to this one for the long haul.  I’m going to have to take the heat on this one.

$SEED was also bouncing.

I like the fact the price is now trading above the 79 & 89 MA lines.

$AMRN closed lower today but the volume was relatively low compared to last week; so I decided to continue to hold.

Overall, despite losses from $SVBL and $AMRN, gains on $CARA, $SEED, $LRAD and $SVA more than offset the losses and put my port back up a notch.

Current holdings:

LRAD, SVBL, CARA, SEED, AMRN, KNDI, SVA and 32% cash.

From my other account:

Both $FITX and $MCIG bounced only a bit so I won’t bother to show charts.

My 2 cents.

The market continued to bounce today.

It closed above the range which was a very good sign.

$KNDI opened higher and then went on to take out the high of yesterday.

But that didn’t last, not long after making new high, price dropped like a rock.  My mental stop was triggered and I sold at the market to protect profit.  Price then bounced around b/w the low of the day and yesterday close.  The SeekingAlpha article comparing $KNDI to other biofuel stocks like $FCEL didn’t help either.  I’m going to wait this one out to see what happen before venturing back in.  Although I mentioned that I would hold this one for medium long-term, I do change my mind from time-to-time giving the circumstances surrounding the price action.  Sometimes I’m wrong and sometimes I can get lucky; but I learn to follow my instinct, right or wrong.  Giving enough time, my instinct becomes another tool I use to trade the market.

$CARA continued to bounce.

Price closed above the 5 and 15 MA line.  It does look like we may see a V-shape reversal after-all.  Notice that price bounced today on low volume.  That is why I don’t trust the selling when the float is so small.  You could be cheated out of your shares if you don’t have enough conviction.

$SEED also bounce off the support line today.

And the 5 MA line is now turning back up after touching the 15 MA line. I like to believe $SEED is heading back above $3 soon.

I’m glad to see $MZOR also bounced up.

It was good to see price moved away from the bottom range.

$SVA took out yesterday high and I want to go back in so I bought back some.

If price continues higher, I’ll add more when cash becomes available from the three days settlement.

$KGJI disappointed when price took out the lower range of the consolidation area.

What doesn’t look good is that price is now under the 79 & 89 MA line.  I need to decide what to do with my position real soon.  Perhaps, I will lighten the load a bit.

$LRAD and $SVBL didn’t do much today so I won’t post any chart on them.

Thanks to $SEED and $CARA, my port bounced back up another notch.  Now, my milestone target is only a stone-throw away.

Current positions:

LRAD, SEED, CARA, MZOR, KGJI, SVBL, CERS, SVA and 17% cash.

From my other account:

$FITX did a fantastic job blasting out of the downtrend line.

Now, I like to see price takes out the previous high of  $0.10 set up on March 7th.

My 2 cents.

Market played the diver today by going up the springboard in the morning time and then jumped into the water not long afterward.

Price is still around the upper range of support so I would call this a healthy correction so far.

$SEED opened strong and I bought back the 40% shares I sold yesterday.  Everything was going perfectly until the mood changed in mid-day.

Since price is still above support, I decided to hang onto the shares I added back today.

$CARA also did a reversal after a stellar morning spike-up.

So far, the chart still looks bullish with a healthy dose of correction..

$MZOR performed nicely considered that most every one did a reversal.

Price is still within the top range of the consolidation area.

$KGJI was still having problem breakout out of $1.85 resistance.

I added back some $KGJI I sold yesterday due to the morning surge.

$SVA,, like everyone, enjoyed a strong morning so I bought a medium size position looking for a bounce.

Price did not turn negative and the close was higher than yesterday.  So far so good.

$CERS looked like it was bouncing off from yesterday doji bar so I bought a starter position to test the water.

Price turned negative for the day.  I will see if the $5.77 previous low @ Feb 3rd will hold before deciding what to do with my small position.

$LRAD remained neutral and range-bounded.

As long as it is not trending back down, I’m happy.

Basically, my port was in neutral zone after adding all the pluses and minuses together.

Current holdings:

LRAD, SEED, MZOR, CARA, KGJI, SVA, CERS and 22% cash.

From my other account, I was disappointed that $FITX traded lower while most other cannabis stocks went higher.  Oh well, what can I say but to remind myself to be patient.  Rome isn’t build in a day or a week.

My 2 cents.

Market was up slightly today and the general direction is still up.

Notice that volume was lower than average for the last two days.  Can price continues to float upward from here?  We will see.

I added to $KNDI due to a strong opening; but when price started struggling to stay within the opening range, I decided to put a stop below the range.  I remember reading that some outfit projected a target of $20.xx; so I asked myself, “we are at the target, so who else is buying this up?”  Apparently no one since I got stopped out when price fell thru the lower opening range.  Luckily I still had some profit from yesterday buy that despite my adding this morning, I came out with a small profit.  Although I got out of my large position two days too earlier; I really can’t complain about the profit I was able to capture.  Stock speculation is risky and no one can ever get out at the top or buy at the low.  We just need to stay true to our decisions without second-guessing ourselves because hindsight gives a different picture than the one we’ve envisioned.

$SEED took a tumble at the open when there were no news to hold yesterday gain.  I did not sell ’cause my original objective of seeing thru the China’s decision on approval of the GM seeds has not changed.

While price came back down, it still stayed above the support (blue line). The good news is that $3 resistance had been broken, so I don’t see it as a hard resistance anymore.  Let’s see if there is a bounce tomorrow.

I sold $SVA today ’cause price fell thru yesterday low.

When I loaded up to swing for the fence, I expected price to behave upward with strong momentum.  And when price went the other way, I had no choice but to “get out of Dodge” before losses magnified to an unbearable point.

$MZOR bounced a bit today so I’m still holding.

Price is still at the upper range of the consolidation area so I’m not worried at this point.

$CARA corrected today but I decided not to sell any shares ’cause I believe this new pain-killer can improve pain-management drastically due to the lack of side-effects the opiate drug has.  So, I’m holding this for a possible buy-out from big pharmaceutical company or positive phase 3 result.

See how price closed above the 5 MA line?  Hopefully, it is finding support here.

Both $KGJI and $LRAD were practically neutral for the day.

Due to correction of $SEED, $SVA, and $CARA, my port gave back a chunk of gain from yesterday.  However, my port is still above my milestone level.

Current holdings:

LRAD, SEED, MZOR, CARA, KGJI and 28% cash.

From my other account:

$FITX continued to bounce back upward.

We may be seeing a V-shape bounce to take out the resistance @ $0.115 level.  As $FITX continues to show progress on the construction of the facility, price will continue to climb higher.

My 2 cents.

The SPY took a tumble after reaching new high but then bounced back to close higher for the week.

From the chart, it all looks good.  Today was a pause day with a bias to the upside.

$KNDI took out the $17 resistance and made new high.

Although price closed below $17, it opened the door for further $17.xx.  In other words, The resistance was one layer weakened.

Regardless, $KNDI closed strong for the week.

See how high the volume was for the week?  While some may focus on how many cars $KNDI might have sold so far, I don’t think this is what drive the price up, I think it is the “potential” of multiple cities adoption of $KNDI car-sharing (vending machine style) programs that will drive the price.  Come March earnings, I believe people will look for the clue on number of cities signing on in the program.   Just take a look at some of the biotech such as $CLDX and $ISIS, look at their market cap compared to the revenues.

$LRAD looked good so far.

Despite a rough day fighting off sellers, it ended the day neutral.  Now, $LRAD just needs to take out the resistance @ $2.24 to move higher.

$MZOR closed higher a bit but did took out the upper range of the consolidation during the day.

I believe $MZOR will continue to climb from here since the recent earnings result was all good on the revenues increase.  I see more and more surgeons and hospitals adopting this robotic device to provide better efficiency and accuracy in spinal and brain surgery.

$SEED bounced higher but gave back all gain before closing.

The good news is that price still stays above support for now.  I believe traders and investors alike will buy the support for the next leg up.

$SVA was a bit disappointing ’cause price closed negative after breaking out of the consolidating range.

Nevertheless, price is now settling right on the convergence of the 5 and 15 MA lines.  Sometimes, this is a good support here.  Let’s see if price will bounce next week.

$KGJI continued to head south below resistance.

Although I’m taking heat, it was small heat.  But still, it was money tied up unproductively.  It hasn’t really gone anywhere even when $NUGT went higher.  I guess I just have to wait for the next $KGJI earnings report to see any big move here- up or down.  I’m voting for up, of course.

Due to a mixed batch of ups and downs on my six stocks in my port, I ended up with a neutral day.  But my port had a strong week that ended in a new high.

Current holdings:

KNDI, LRAD, MZOR, SEED, KGJI, SVA and 5% cash.

From my other account:

$FITX collapse after breaking down below $0.08 that caused panic selling.

My only thought at that instant was “why didn’t I wait a few more days before adding?”.

See how the daily bar closed with a hammer candlestick?  This can mean a “possible” bottom.  But price needs to close above today high next week to confirm the bottom.

Oh well, by sticking to my discipline of not averaging down, I stayed put.  When I said I was done buying yesterday it meant that I was done scaling in.  Anything purchase after that against a downdraft is considered averaging down.  Thus, I did not buy more today.  Still long and strong and I believe the facility will be completed and the permit will be granted by Health Canada.  Yeap, that is my conviction, right or wrong.

My 2 cents.
