I've followed this stock since early 2008, but unfortunately I didn't actually place either of the following trades.
Actually, not placing the first trade doesn't bother me.
But the second one does... just a little.
Okay, a lot.
1. SHORT signal the week of 11.10.08 at $8.24 with a stop at $22.43. Traded as low as $4.33 the week of 3.2.09, but before the month was out it had bounced all the way back up and through the $9.82 stop. Loss of -23.8%
2. Reverse to LONG signal the week of 3.30.09 at $10.20 with $4.57 as a stop. Climbed steadily throughout 2009 and 2010, eventually peaking at $85.28 the second week of February 2011. It briefly fell below $75 earlier this month, but bounced back to close last week just a penny short of its high at $85.27. The stop is $65.49. Gain of 736.0%
