NFLX 3-17-03 to 1-22-04
March 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment
This was one of the first CANSLIM stocks to breakout ON the follow through day of March 17, 2003. So the fact this stock had fantastic fundamentals an excellent chart pattern as a recent IPO (they almost never have max green BOP all over them) made it an easy choice to get very long. NFLX from the breakout on 3/17 to the clear climax top on 1/22/04 made a wonderful 320% gain. Not bad for only ten months. I am sure a lot of bottom fishers missed this one.
TRAD 3-6-03 to 7-14-03
March 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment
TRAD broke out of a great flat base on very strong volume and followed-through the very next day with another more powerful breakout. These two back to back moves gave TRAD a fantastic chart, and with the mood by most investors being very pessimistic during the time, the stock was able to launch a very powerful rally. It doesn’t hurt that not long after TRAD popped the stock market put in a very powerful follow-through day and was off to the races. In a very short time frame of four months and a little over a week, TRADE was able produce a 454% gain from my first big purchase, a 436% return from the smaller pyramid position, and a 378% gain on my last very small pyramid buy.
MGIC 7-11-03 to 1-20-04

MGIC was not a huge long as I was already loaded to the gills with other great longs and there were a few setting up in PERFECT bases so I did not want to throw a lot of money in this one. However, I did take a nice position, and in six months and a little over one week, MGIC produced a cool 371% return.
TRMM 10-21-03/12-19-03 to 4- -04

TRMM was a great long very late in this bull market. By this time I had too many longs and was loaded up in a lot of stocks. But when this pattern developed, I made sure to take profits from other longs and to sell off some weaker stocks to make sure this could at least becoming a nice size. Still, it was no FMDAY, TASR, EPIC, SIGM, or EVOL etc…. But it was a great long and in five months and one-and-a-half weeks the stock gained 224%. From the large buy in December to the top, the stock gained 168% in a little under four months. It wasn’t a huge winner but the chart was near-perfect with the bounce off the 50 DMA and breakout to a new high.
ADBL 10-16-03 to 12-4-03
March 6, 2008 | 3 Comments
ADBL was another quick hit but that is, of course, some of the best longs as everyone should love to make some big gains and then get out near the top only to then move on to the very next one ready to act like that. ADBL was no EGHT but it still produced a quite large return in a very short amount of time. ADBL produced a 155% gain in a little under one month and three weeks. The gains are not anything substantial but the chart pattern was such a great long setup that I guess I can feel comfortable saying that it was “easy” money. I sure would love to see more charts like that in this market.
SWIR 6-12-03/7-9-03 to 4-12-04

SWIR was a big winner for me as I liked this chart and the stock’s fundamentals. This was yet one of many HOT HOT stocks I had my eye on during this time and this one, like the rest, turned out no different. From the first purchase to the first sell the stock gained 253% and from the big purchase to first sell 156%, in four months. The second sell netted me gains of 377% and 246% respectively, in seven and a half months. However, from the first and big purchase to the ultimate top the stock gained 741% and 510% in only ten months, making this one of my top holdings in 2003.
IFLO 5-30-03 to 2-27-04
February 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment
IFO was a pretty big long when I went long but I sold a lot of my long position very quickly as there were a lot of beautiful charts and I wanted to diversify myself around the winners more because I wasn’t sure what would be “THE” huge winner. It was a good thing I did this because after my first big sell TASR showed up just a few weeks later. IFLO was still a huge winner. From my first purchase to first big sell the gain was a solid 111% in one month and two weeks. By the time the top came, the stock gained 341% in nine months.
EGHT 10-30-03 to 11-28-03
February 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment
EGHT was not only HOT HOT HOT with all that max green BOP and huge accumulation before the bounce off the 50 day moving average. It was also hot because of the huge move it made in such a short amount of time. In a little under one month, EGHT gained 295% from the first buy and 238% from the second buy. An amazing return in an amazing stock. This is not the norm; this is the exception. But there are always a few in a raging bull market. This was just one.
FARO 8-27-03 to 1-20-04
February 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment
FARO was quick and sweet. As you can see the chart pattern that setup is the usual near-perfect to perfect pattern I never pass on and this one was no different. The previous uptrend full of accumulation and green to max green BOP made this choice an easy decision. FARO gained 179% in four months and three weeks from the buy to top and a 139% gain in two months and one week.
ONXX 5-19-03 to 5-7-04

ONXX gained 533% in eleven months and two weeks. 455% in eleven months and almost two weeks, 428% in eleven months, and 371% in ten months and three weeks.
