VVUS Was The Best Today

Home / Health Care Stocks / VVUS Was The Best Today
December 15, 2009

I don’t know if you noticed, but I’ve slowed down and started opening up portfolios of stocks that are turning with my signals and swinging them. Most of these stocks are either chosen due to their ability to have big moves in a short term period or based on great valuation.

Things like HITK, CSR, SMED, NEP, TPI, MNKD, VVUS, AAI, CZZ are value related names, while short term beta plays are CSUN, VVUS, ROYL, and things of that nature.

I talked about last night CSUN swapping back. I got back into again today, will look at more of it by end of week. I trimmed some HITK and MNKD today as I was heavily weighted towards those names. Took 15%ish gains in both. Added more ROYL today as its my favorite high beta Nat Gas play. DPTR moved huge today that tends to get ROYL going.

I also sold my NDAQ due to lack of movement. Its still a perfectly acceptable buy, I just moved to something with more beta. Small gain there.

I bought SMRT (value swing), AXL (value swing), DTG (value swing), and AIG calls for a short term trade.

Two stocks I highlighted in the charts: SONC, and AMED. Jon Najarian tweeted about healthcare option activity, AMED is on there. I actually had this stock in my screens on Friday, just bought other things instead. The unlabeled chart is DTG.
