Sabrient Select Opportunity Virtual Portfolio
July 20, 2010 – Closing MON and Watching TEX
July 20 will go down in history as a crazy upside-down day for the Sabrient Company Outlook Rank, that has been performing so well for us. Low-ranked stocks are up big and many high-ranked stocks are flat to even. For the Select Opportunity Virtual Portfolio, the 3 shorts are all up against my mental stops, and the 2 longs are slightly down. Just a bad day for us.
The market is displaying impressive resiliency. Even though I still expect the market and the 3 shorts to show more downside action in the near future, I’m going to stick with the discipline and close those that have moved too far against us.
I am going to close the new short position MON since it appears to be closing above my $57.00 stop.
I am also closing TEX at the close if it closes above my $18.58 entry price that had become my new stop price.
Best Regards,
Scott Martindale
