19th April 2012 – Roller coaster ride on SOHU.

Buy $	Sell $	Sell Short $	Buy Back $	Stop Loss $	Profit / Losses	Duration
	53.06				Profit	50 days

 

Reason for Buy / Sell / Short / Cover:

 

1. It has been fluctuating up and down and I put in a guard to protect my capital.
2. It triggered and I am out.

 

Lesson Learnt:

 

1. My selling is still very bad. I should have moved my stop loss up much more when it went up at end of March to protect more gain.

2. My concept of "letting the winner run" is not well control.

3. The trend line that touched $59.00 at daily chart should have warned me to start raising my stop loss already. I should have know that better.

14th Feb 2012 – My Valentine SOHU

Buy $	Sell $	Sell Short $	Buy Back $	Stop Loss $	Profit / Losses	Duration
51.00				45.60

 

Reason for Buy / Sell / Short / Cover:

 

1. Long term monthly chart shows that it has again dropped back near to its long term uptrend line.
2. Daily and weekly chart shows that the entry should be pretty save.

 

Lesson Learnt:

 

1. Before the earning announcement, it was rallying. After earning announcement, it dropped and created this opportunity for entry.
2. Long term uptrend still look healthy and looks like it should continue its uptrend.
3. This should be a pretty strong stock and it is already 50% below its all time high.
