HAG needs to embrace even more risk

System HAG seems to be turning in good returns for stocks that have really extreme moves. Thought I didn't get to post yesterday because of internet problems in NJ, the stock that System HAG wanted to buy, AMKR, went up over 7% today. This is the buy this month that was missed that went up over 7%. Truth be told, there are a couple of other buys that have been missed over the past month that were mostly flat. Still, I need to be more vigilant with my posting and my execution of this program.

For this fall season, I have expanded the universe of buys for System HAG, with the ultimate goal of finding a buy every day. Maybe I should even start a program that makes the 4 best buys every day that it can, regardless of how strong the buys are.

Yesterday, the program sold NRG, and today it makes a very risky buy in Presstek, as well as a more average buy in Gigamedia.

Completed trades:

NRG: 1.29%


Adding this trade to our totals:
133 trades
.4799% average gain per trade
15.96% total theoretical gain since inception (2/7/06).
NASDAQ composite on 2/7/06: 2244.96
NASDAQ change since 2/7/06: 1.16%

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.
