Random Pic #8: Returned Package of Popcorn

December 13, 2007 – 7:35 pm

This is an envelope that I sent to China but was returned to me because I had the wrong address:
Popcorn
I sent it in June and just got it back a few days ago. It contained 8-12 bags of microwave popcorn.
I popped one last night and ate it and it was fine, even though the expiration date said September 2007.

A Dummy a Day

A dummy a day: AMIS Holdings Inc. (AMIS)

December 13, 2007 – 6:21 pm

Since day trading is a lot about recognizing the patterns in charts, I have decided to post a chart every day that would have resulted in a profitable dummy trade. I will post these in the dummy-a-day category which you can simply click to review for practice. The chart will be displayed as it looked when the trade should have been executed, and when you move your mouse over the image, it will show how the trade would have resulted.
After the gap up, AMIS didn’t really look like it was going anywhere until around noon, when it did finally go somewhere:


If you bought AMIS when it broke above the 11:30 inside candle at $8.93 with a stop below it at $8.81, you would only risk 12 cents. Holding until the end of the day would have given you about 67 cents for every share you owned, or 5.6 times your risk.

New Position in Mercadolibre, Inc. (MELI)

December 12, 2007 – 1:43 am

I loved the move MELI made yesterday, breaking out to a new all-time high:
MELI
And I love the way the company makes money, so I bought a small starter position today at $47.77.
Maybe I’ll get some more over $50. If it breaks $50 with strength, why wouldn’t it go to $100?
