Today, the AMTD bought last Wednesday is sold. The AMD and YHOO bought last Friday is held, and new positions in AKAM, NTAP, and TLAB are opened. HAG returns once again lead the market as volatility has increased substantially.

Completed trade:

AMTD: 7.11%

2007 totals:
64.75 trades
.41428% average gain per trade
6.71% total theoretical gain since beginning of 2007

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.
