Financial Friday #8




Like I said last week I was looking for BAC, HIG, ABK and MBI to rebound this week. I noticed that BAC dipped under $4/share and I bought at 3.79/share. I bought 335 shares as I saw this as a huge opportunity. My A also bought 100 shares in his portfolio.

I sold out at $5.70 right after it hit the top of the channel thus making $2/share or $670. My A decided to stay in and put a stop order in a $5/share. Unfortunately at opening BAC fell from 5.67 to 4.40 before his stop triggered. I think my A ended up making like $10 on the trade after commissions. Just goes to show you that you should listen to the dog. Oh yeah and just because you put a stop in at 5 does not mean it will actually sell at 5.



Financials were getting hit hard on Friday so I am glad I got out early I expect that trend to continue into next week with a slight recovery near the end of the week or early the following week. The market is pushing these stocks down hard they will recover it is just a question of when.

Current balance: $1942
