US Stock of the Day - Understanding How it Works

US Stock of the Day is for traders who are looking for a US Stock to trade each day. I base my picks on US Stocks I follow on the Nasdaq, Dow, S&P and other indices such as the Russell 1000, etc., watching for a swing in the momentum upward. I keep a tight stop loss on all trades to minimize my risk... and allow the great stock trades to continue rising. These are not recommendations... merely entertainment. Please see the warning at the bottom of this page.

US Stock of the Day for March 11, 2011

On February 24, 2011, I chose RVBD @ $38.59 and triggered both stop losses now.  The first sold on March 7 @ $42.70 for a 10% gain and the second sold on March 10 @ $39.40.

For March 10, 2011, I chose VIT @ $31.25 with a stop loss at $30.50 but it didn't trigger.

So for March 11, 2011, I'm choosing SODA @ $43.75 with a stop loss @ $43.25.

See you Sunday!

US Stock of the Day for February 23, 2011

Tuesday dragged everything down... but we still ended up ahead.  Here's how:

SWKS sold out at a .5% loss - not a big deal when most stocks plummeted.
OXY triggered out on both orders, leaving us with a 2.7% gain and NO RISK to ongoing pressures!
VIT never triggered the purchase price of $32.85, so nothing loss there either.

So all in all, it's a profit in the pocket scenario... with no risk to the ongoing market turmoil.

For February 23, 2011, I'm choosing RSW @ $35.25 with a stop loss at $34.90.

US Stock of the Day for February 22, 2011

Markets were closed Monday.

Here's where we stand...


SWKS triggered on February 16th at $36.70 and pulled back by the end of the week a little, closing at $36.65 (basically even).  I'm keeping my stop loss order at $36.30.

On February 15th, OXY triggered a buy at $102.27 and it closed Friday (4 days later) at $107.37 for a 5% gain.  At this point, it doesn't look like it's done running... so I'm holding on with two stop losses for each half.  The first is @ $106.50 and the second is @ 102.95.


For February 22, 2011 I'm choosing VIT at $32.85 with a stop loss order at $32.40.  

Join me tomorrow for the next pick.
