Financial Friday #20 ABK and Ford in play

This week I decided to play two different stocks. Putting all my eggs in one basket is a little scary. I do use stop orders to limit my exposure but still sometimes it is good to spread out a little bit.

Last week I bought ABK and this week I shorted it. I love when I came make money buying one week and make money shorting the next week. I shorted 8,000 shares ABK at 1.96 and was able to cover at 1.31 for a $5,200 profit. I also bought 4,000 shares of Ford (F) on wed at 4.83 and just sold them at 5.38 for a $2,200 gain. Thus I was able to make $7,400 this week. Not too shabby for a dog. Now that I have more capital it is actually getting easier since I can weather a few losses.

Current balance $36,381
