With the market turning I'll probably give serious consideration to a short this week.

SOMX - SOMAXON PHARMACEUTIC 5.43 2.92


NEPH - NEPHROS INC 1.30 3.04 2.92

I'll be shorting SWHC this week. Not on the 5% list but has consistently lost 4%.

So here it is, mid-week .. how are this week's long and short picks doing?

SHORT OPTIONS

S - Sprint Corp FON Group
Weekly Open: 3.02
Weekly Low: 2.78
% Gain/Loss: -7.95% (HIT TARGET)

INO - Genetronics Biomedical
Weekly Open: 1.04
Weekly Low: 1.03
% Gain/Loss: currently at 1.09, up 4.8%. Will need to drop to 0.99 to hit target (-9.8%). NOT LIKELY

SOMX - SOMAXON PHARMACEUTIC
Weekly Open: 2.44
Weekly Low: 2.21
% Gain/Loss: -9.4% (HIT TARGET)




LONG OPTIONS

GKK - GRAMERCY CAPITAL CP
Weekly Open: 3.15
Weekly High: 3.49
% Gain/Loss: +10.79% (HIT TARGET)

APWR - A-Power Energy
Weekly Open: 11.00
Weekly High: 11.85
% Gain/Loss: +7.73% (HIT TARGET)

BQI - Oilsands Quest
Weekly Open: 1.26
Weekly High: 1.27
% Gain/Loss: currently at 1.18, down 6.35%. Will need to rise to 1.33 to hit target (+12.7%). NOT LIKELY



ZLC - Zale Corp
Weekly Open: 4.72
Weekly High: 5.31
% Gain/Loss: +12.5% (HIT TARGET) My bad call on this. Oh well.

Kevin:

Your short filter is different from your long filter. You added the the 10% stop trigger but I don't know how you would know if it was triggered before the 5% was hit or after. I just reversed your long filter and had this list:

SOMX
NEPH
EDAP
CVM
BONU
RPTP
CHLN
INO

As of today all but INO hit 5%.

Yeah, but if you run this filter mid-week, it factors in all of the stocks that ALREADY hit their 5% target, which is not legit. You wouldn't know this at the open on Monday (that's why EDAP shows up in your list but not the one I published over the weekend).

Maybe I missed it, but how are you setting your stops so you get more than the target of 5% gain if you are not right at the computer all the time?

Well ... it's pretty straightforward.

Buy at the open. Whatever the open price is (which may not be what YOU got it for), multiply by 1.05, and set a limit order to sell at that price. Make the order GTC (good til cancelled) which will keep it in place all week. If the price hits that value, at ANY time during the week, the order will execute and sell your shares at this price.

Set it and forget it. You do not need to be at the computer watching the stock (although many of us do that anyway).

NOTE: Just noticed that you said "greater than 5%" ... I don't shoot for greater than this, I shoot for 5% since that's what the statistics are calculating. Hope that helps.
