US Stock of the Day for June 15, 2011

One day is not enough to get excited about... but it may provide some small wins.

• For June 14th, I chose GMCR @ $76.23 with a stop loss of $75.45.  It triggered and closed the day at $79.93, a 4.9% gain.  I'm raising my stop loss to $78.33, ensuring a 2.9% profit if it sells off.  If it continues to rise, I'll continue to benefit.
• For June 15th, I'm choosing HLF @ $55.08 with a stop loss of $54.53.

So, our running tally has one purchase now up 4.9%.

See you tomorrow!

US Stock of the Day for June 10, 2011

With the markets in retreat, we continue to be break even.  No money lost when only choosing one stock a day is not a bad thing.  

Nevertheless, we hope to see one catch sometime soon.  I think today's might.

• For June 9th, I chose SLW @ $33.60 (stop loss at $33.25).  It got close, but didn't trigger.  Nevertheless, I'm going to leave that order in place for one more day.
• For June 10th, I am choosing GMCR @ $77.55 (stop loss at $76.77).

I think from now on I'll keep a running tally to make it easier for those following to know exactly where we are at.  Watch and see... I suspect we'll be up every month despite market conditions.

See you tomorrow!

US Stock of the Day for June 9, 2011

Here's some things you need to know as you follow along:

• These are not recommendations.  I'm not a professional financial advisor and I do not make recommendations.  These are my personal picks that I share with you for entertainment purposes only.  
• These are short term picks.  Personally, I prefer to use a Weekly approach, based on strong fundamentals and weekly technical indicators.  In fact, I've been quite successful in presenting weekly picks to my subscribers at www.investinthemarkets.com.  But, if you're looking for something a little more "active" than this might be a great place for you too.
• Stop losses are necessary.  I'll always place a stop loss on every trade... to minimize my risk while allowing for maximum returns.  
• Canadian and Small Cap stock picks are also available.  For those looking for other options, consider the following sites:
