Trade Journal, Position summary Many moves, many profits.

Today was one of those days where most things work.


My BOXand ARRY buys gap, Sold off half BOX, the remainder runs.  manage risk sell off some ARRY I can live with that. RESN runs I sell into that run.  AAPL proves why it the worlds most valuable company.  My calls are up big.  My EMES puts gain as EMES falters.  I bought some NFLX it runs,  Bought some GNVC and HPJ off bounces  If they firm up I'll be sitting very pretty and then  TWTR looks like NFLX q1 2014 as it rallies off the gap test and finally I add PME in A.H. off news that it has eliminated its V.I.E. structure and received an investment which would value the company at 800 million or a stock price of 9.50

 I haven't taken stock and given the full run down my holdings without further adieu charts:

BOX:
IF only every stock I bought did this in yesterday at 19.30 close today 20.99.  Still I think this has a chance to take back its IPO high close of over 23, we will see.

ARRY:
Wedge breakout.  I did a partial sale at 7.98 because it gapped in the morning and faded.  It then regained some strength.  This will be off to the races if it can get some space over 8.
EMES
Continuation to the downside following the rejection by the 10week avg.  If another continuation day look for low 50s
HPJ 
I liked the bounce and reversal off the gap.  My working theory is that this will now come around to make another run at 6.00
Entry 5.40


NFLX has that power move potential.  I bought today at 451.37 and caught a decent piece of this 10.00 move. I sold off half the position at 455.10 to manage risk.  If this can get some continuation.  I  would think $475 is in play over the next couple of weeks.


AAPL gets the break above 120 and my 115calls are now deep in the money.
No changes to position, none anticipated as this run is just starting looking for 128.

TWTR:
A power move gap, which has thus far stuck.  I bought this move as TWTR rallied off the gap.  The low of the day presents a great stop making this a well defined trade.  If it gets over 48 I will consider adding as it will break range and show trend.
PSXP
Nice consolidation, which is needed to push over 80.  I've cut down my position.  I will re-initiate my position on a a pull back to 75 or a break above 80.

GNVC: 
This is a high momentum stock that they attempted to breakdown.  Right on the trend line it rallied hard.  That tells me this is still "in play" I'll take a piece here at 4.00.
MPG:
Weekly.  Still holding a small position.  This has had some momentum and could be a decent winner if it gets going.  Right now this range is getting very tight

WATT:
This company has a really cool product which lets you charge wireless devices without plugging them in.  It won a number of CES awards.

 In many ways its similar to RESN.  I've bought  the consolidation here small, which I'll cut if it breaks to the down side and add if it breaks to the upside.



The Grand Finale 

PME

I'm treating PME as An episodic Pivot  Here's the news:

 PME is "a global fishing company based in the People's Republic of China (PRC), today announced that the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Fujian Provincial Pingtan County Ocean Fishing Group Co., Ltd ("Pingtan Fishing") has entered into an Investment Agreement ("Agreement") with China Agriculture Industry Development Fund Co., Ltd, ("China Agriculture") pursuant to which China Agriculture will invest RMB400 million (approximately US$64.0 million at current exchange rates) into Pingtan Fishing for an 8% equity interest in Pingtan Fishing's operating company. The investment values Pingtan Fishing at approximately 5 billion RMB, or US $800 million at current exchange rates. The closing and funding of this strategic investment is expected to occur no later than February 13, 2015."
END of VIE structure!
When I previously looked at this stock I found the VIE structure too complicated and too sketchy to invest.  Today's news removed my objection:
"Pingtang terminated its existing variable interest entity agreements, or VIEs, as permitted by the laws of the People's Republic of China. This provides the shareholders of Pingtan Marine Enterprises with direct ownership of its subsidiaries rather than contractual ownership through the VIE structure. "
  • PE Ratio of 2!
This stock initially came up in a scan due to its ultra low PE ratio.  I passed however, due to the VIE structure.  Now that that appears to be resolved this stock is ultra cheap and now offers direct ownership. 
Summary 
I believe that this is a game changer and bought at 4.10 and 4.20  in A.H.  Even with the appropriate China discounts PME should trade north of $7. But again, It is Chinese and I'm not going to go overboard until I get my hands on the SEC filing for this deal.

Position Summary RESN, MPG MOC, PLNR

From time to time it is important to take stock of existing positions. Here are my holdings not including the positions I opened today. 

RESN:
Here's my star performer and I believe in everything I've been seeing in the action despite how difficult it might be to hold this on day-to-day basis.  Looking at the weekly it has made it much more clear.  I've bought a lot of this one. 
Entry 1: 9.26
Entry 2: 9.05
Exit 1: 10.90 (partial
Entry 3: 10.40
Entry 4: 11.79
Entry 5: 10.21


MPG: A recent IPO.  It's thin, but it is showing some life. I like that it has scalloped out a bottom and appears ready to push higher.  A close above a new weekly high would be the sign to add to this but right now. I'm content with a trial position

Entry: 18.95 

PLNR:
When pull back buys work, you look so smart... especially after a move like today.   This was an easy trade in the since that it had a clear defined point where I would take the loss if I were wrong. I figured that there was a decent chance of holding the lows.  
Entry 7.03




MOC
This is the only position that I'm down in from $3.08.  I was looking for a Fishhook but that faded. MOC  has shown that an ability for power but the volume has now evaporated.  I would add but the volume has really waned

MOC popped after catching a very large contract from the USPS.  I like the theme of private security after the French terrorist attacks and the fundamental are very much aligned for a higher move...if only the volume comes in.  If it drops below 2.40 I'll thrown in the towel.

Opened MPG, MIFI, Closed CUBA

MPG is a IPO type set up that I like. -- a strong pull back that is followed by a U shaped recovery taking out highs. 

Another thin stock in my portfolio so I'm wading in small at this point. 

Entry: 8.95

MIFI
This one has some power 14% move closing at the high after a  aounce off 20 day MA. which I'll use to gauge the health of this.

Entry
4.75.
Stop 4.25

Closed:
My CUBA thesis didn't quite work.  There was a winning trade as it gapped up to 10.00 but I missed it.  I had small size so I decided to give it a go at 10:00 which proved too tough.  So instead of a small gain, I end with a small loss. But I'm fine with that as this trade caused no damage to my account.
