Buy order for SILC

The buy signal for SILC came two days ago, on 27 June, when it closed above the trendline, and stochastic confirmed the buy signal. I should have bought it at the open on Thursday, at USD 19.55, but I failed to watch it.

I now place an order to buy it on NASDAQ on Monday with a limit of USD 20.11, which is Friday's close.

Bought Roche GS


I watch ROG towards the close and buy it at CHF 216.10, at 17.08 hours.

Buy signal for Roche GS


If Roche GS (ROG) closes above CHF 214.50 today I will buy it on the Swiss exchange on Monday morning. Perhaps I may buy already today towards the close if it looks like it will close above CHF 214.50. The stochastic curve confirms the buy signal.

Watching SILC


I lost on SILC when I sold it ten days ago, but I am thinking of buying it again if it breaks out through the trendline. Just have to remember to watch it every day.

Missed out on Google


I meant to keep an eye on GOOG after selling it on 7 June and am looking at it only today. Too bad, I missed the chance to buy it back on 18 June, after it closed above the trendline the day before. Now, I shall wait for the next opportunity.

Watching Roche GS


I am looking at Roche GS (ROG) on the Swiss market. A break-out through the upper trendline should be I buy signal.

Sold call option UBS

There are two reasons why I bought UBS on NYSE yesterday, not on the Swiss market:

  1. Commissions and fees are lower
  2. Options trade at better prices

Today, I sell the call option UBSGM at USD 0.85 per share, July/65. If it does not get exercised – and I am speculating that it won’t – this will reduce my cost per share.

Stop-loss for SILC

The price of SILC is not going up the way I had hoped and I now set a stop-loss trigger at USD 18.90

Sold Google

I think I bought Google at the wrong time and sell them again, at USD 516.12, after only 2 days and minimal profit of 0.9%. I shall look out for a better opportunity to buy this stock again.
