Bought Swatch

Swatch (UHRN) gave a buy signal on the trendline on Wednesday and I bought it this morning at CHF 56.50. I should really have bought it yesterday at the open but missed it.

News were out today about the 18% sales growth in 2007.

Bought Novartis

The Novartis (NOVN) put got exercised, which means that I bought the stock at CHF 65.00

Analysing Holcim

I see a resistance for Holcim (HOLN) at CHF 117.60, the low on 17 August 2007. Will it hold?

Analysing Holcim

It looks like I sold Holcim (HOLN) two soon last week. It is a tough stock for technical analysis. I now added the zig-zag line to the chart but shall have see to how useful it can be.

As it stands now, I shall wait for a new bottom before considering buying it a gain, and I can perhaps use relative strength (RSI) and momentum to to confirm signals on the trendline.

Sold Holcim

Yesterday's close gave a clear sell signal on the trandline. My order to sell it at the open gets executed at CHF 128.00, at a profit of 0.5% in 8 days.

Sold u-blox

My limit sell order for u-blox (UBXN) at CHF 66.00 gets executed shortly after the open, with a gain of 10% in three days.

UBXN: first trading day

That was an interesting first trading day after the IPO for u-blox (UBXN). The stock opened at CHF 60.00, the price fell during the morning to a low of CHF 57.80, then rallied in the afternoon with low volume, and closed at CHF 61.00. During the last quarter-hour it traded slightly below the threndline on the 5-minute chart, but at a minuscule volume.

Bought UBXN

I got only 4% of the subscribed quantity of u-blox (UBXN) allocated, at CHF 51.00.

Before the open today I ordered some more at market and they got bought at CHF 60.00. Later, the price dropped, with a low of CHF 58.10 so far.

I now place a limit sell order at CHF 66.00 valid until 31 October, only for the quantity I bought at market today, not the small quantity I got allocated on subscription.

Bought Holcim

I buy Holcim (HOLN) towards the close at CHF 127.40. This is the same price at which the stock opened today.

Watching HOLN

Today's closing price confirms the buy signal given yesterday on the trendline, but stochastic 15/5/15 does not confirm it.

I shall watch it at the open tomorrow and decide then whether to take the risk to buy it. Does today's doji candle signal the beginning of an uptrend?.

Subscribed u-blox

A little bird told me about the IPO of u-blox and I subscribe some shares.

"October 16, 2007 -- u-blox Holding AG publishes today the details of its planned initial public offering (IPO) on the SWX Swiss Exchange. The price range for the registered shares being offered will be between CHF 42 and CHF 54 per share. Bookbuilding will start today and is expected to end on October 25, 2007, 12.00 noon (CET). The first trading day on the main segment of the SWX Swiss Exchange is planned for October 26, 2007."

Sold Holcim

My order to sell HOLN at market at the open gets executed at CHF 133.60, with a gain of 12% in 48 days.

Sell order for Holcim

Today's closing price gives a sell signal on the trendline and I place an order to sell at market at the open tomorrow.

Sold Swatch

The closing price on Friday, 5 October gave a sell signal on the trendline and I sell Swatch (UHR) today at CHF 376.50, with a gain of 3.2% in 46 days.

Next time, I shall buy UHRN on SWX. With the same transaction dates, this would have given me a gain of 8.5%
