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.

Bought UBS

I buy UBS, this time on NYSE, at USD 61.49

Sold SILC

SILC stops out at USD 18.88. Loss of 8.3% after 27 days.

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.

UBS pays dividend

UBS pays a dividend of CHF 2.20 per share.

Short sold put option Novartis

Looking at the chart of Novartis I think I’d like to own some shares of it, but only if I can buy them a little lower than the current price. Instead of placing a limit buy order at CHF 65, I sell short a put option, strike 65, term December 2007.

This put option gets executed at CHF 2.14 per share.

Bought Holcim

On the Swiss market Virt-x, I place an order for HOLN (Holcim Ltd.) at market.

This order gets executed at CHF 110.20

Holcim is a multinational company based in Switzerland. Its core business is construction materials, particularly cement.

Bought UBS

On the Swiss market Virt-x, I buy UBS at CHF 74.75

UBS being a major Swiss bank, reporting record profits every year, I hope to do well with this stock.
