3rd May 2020 - "A" grade ain't mean you are good.

Reason to Watch

Lesson Learnt:

• There are so many chances to short for Agilent.

4th Mar 2020 - Hard to get A+ on this exam.

Buy $	Sell $	Short $	Cover $	Stop Loss $	Profit / Losses
			$82.04 3rd Mar 2020		profit

Reason to Cover

• The bounce-back capability of this stock demonstrated yesterday is stronger than I expected. It is time to protect more on my profit

Lesson Learnt:

• I actually moved down the cover price just to make sure my profit is more.
• FED actually came out (outside of their scheduled time) and cut rate by 0.5 after I went to bed. Great that I protected my profit more, else it could have kicked me out around $85.00.
• Anyway, the market turned back down even though FED cut rate.

3rd Mar 2020 - My A+ has become A-

Reason to Watch

• I am still holding the short, but the price is threatening my profit.

Lesson Learnt:

• Let's see whether it can poke through the second resistance line. I have to admit that it is quite strong.
• Let's see whether the "money flow" statistic is reflecting the right picture of not. According to the chart, selling seems to be more than buying.

29 Feb 2020 - Show your strength... if you dare.

Reason to Watch

• I  am still shorting this stock.

Lesson Learnt:

• See how similar A stock behave like the DJIA index?!
• Last-minute rebound in A stock seems like a strong one. We will see how long it can last.
• May have to cover soon if it start to show strength, together with the index rebound.
• You can actually compare the weekly chart of A stock with the weekly chart of the DJIA weekly chart. You can't recognize which is which if I removed its label.

21st Feb 2020 - "A" is not enough, we aim "A"+

Buy $	Sell $	Short $	Cover $	Stop Loss $	Profit / Losses
		$85.00 21st Feb 2020		$84.00

Reason to Short

• This is a top up to my short on A.
• Expect it to come to the MA line and stop there and hopefully it will start to drop from there.

Lesson Learnt:

• This time I was right at the price setting. It came all the way up to the MA line.
• Be careful. A stock can still go until $85 while DJIA is dropping still mean that it is pretty strong.

19th Feb 2020 - Aiming for grade "A".

Buy $	Sell $	Short $	Cover $	Stop Loss $	Profit / Losses
		$ 84.07 19th Feb 2020

Reason to Short

• After earning, price try to go higher, but faced with sellers, then price start to show weakness.
• It is starting to poke down the trend line and getting very similar to the bearish chart pattern posted previously.

Lesson Learnt:

• Again, I was trying to short at a higher price, but then I could not hold my temptation and chase it down. Bad decision.

19th Feb 2020 - It is "A" perfect match.

Reason to Watch

• It is a very familiar bearish chart pattern.
• It is interesting to see that they are still some buying spree aftermarket and not a very direct drop continuously.

Lesson Learnt:

• Time to learn how this chart pattern works out.

11th Jan 2017 - Look closer and you will see them.

Pattern Study

 

1. If you look carefully, there are so many stocks that have the same pattern as stock "A". This time is "TROX".
2. It is very obvious that "TROX" advanced earlier than "A" and hence become a mirror for "A".

 

What should I do?

 

1. If "A" comes back to $48.00, it could be a good entry.

20th April 2012 - “A” play trick with me.

Buy $	Sell $	Sell Short $	Buy Back $	Stop Loss $	Profit / Losses	Duration
	41.60				Profit

 

Reason for Buy / Sell / Short / Cover:

 

1. Set a stop loss right underneath the daily mountain shape support line.
2. Got hit, triggered and the stock price rebounded back.      ;-(

 

Lesson Learnt:

 

1. This could be a pretty bad stop loss.
2. Should have sold it when it first broke down from the daily 50MA line.
3. Anyway, there is potential shorting opportunity once it rebound back to around $44.00. A potential head-n-Shoulder in the making.

16th Feb 2012 – Pattern Study - “A” knee jerk.

Ticker:

 

1. A

 

Topic:

 

1. 5% dropped after earning announcement.

 

Lesson Learnt:

 

1. This is the beauty of the stock market. From the mid of Dec 2011 till now, A stock has rallied 36% and now the earning has just dropped it 5%. There are still a lot of margin to play with.

2. Overall the chart still look healthy. In fact, I am thinking that the opportunity for top up is coming soon around $39.00.
3. I believe this stock is still a HOLD. Should be good for a long term play.
