US Stock of the Day for August 1, 2011

It seems stability may re-enter the markets after today... 

so we will be able to get back to making more consistent profits again!

Here's where the portfolio stands...

For July 29th, I chose SBUX @ $40.90 with a stop loss @ $40.49.  It missed triggering by $0.01.  Nice!

For August 1st, I'm choosing MCP @ $66.07 with a stop loss @ $65.41.

OVERALL 

The Overall total return is 64.2% since my first purchase approximately 7 weeks ago.

So far... 8 winners... 2 even... and 7 losers (at -1% each, and one at 0.3%) for a great overall profit.

I would encourage you, especially if you're looking for a more stable, weekly approach to trading, to look at http://www.investinthemarkets.com/.  

See you tomorrow!
