HAG update: on the bad side

Markets staged a tremendous rally today as chip stocks rebounded on news that AMD was buying out ATYT. The problem is that System HAG owns AMD and not any of the companies that rallied in price. The program sells its position in Google, but maintains its full-sized position in RMBS, as well as its half-sized positions in PMCS, BRCM, and AMD.

Completed trade:

GOOG (full-sized): .99%


Adding this trade to our totals:
118.5 trades
.2783% average gain per trade
8.24% total theoretical gain since inception (2/7/06).
NASDAQ composite on 2/7/06: 2244.96
NASDAQ change since 2/7/06: 8.16%

Once again, the "total theoretical gain" assumes 25% of a portfolio was invested in each trading position. Half-sized positions assume only 12.5% was invested, and count as only 1/2 of a "completed trade". Buying power is limited to twice the value of the portfolio.
