BUILD A ROBUST PORTFOLIO
(Posted: 12/18/07)
SUMMARY: 1 stock sold, 2 new stocks bought. Portfolio gained 10.73% in 3 months.
On February 6, 2008, the intraday price of an Alpha stock, Apple Inc. (AAPL), went below it's stop limit price. A "sell flag" was thus triggered for the subject stock and the stock, subsequently, was virtually sold on February 6, 2008 at its given stop limit price. On March 19, 2008, a new stock was included in ACE'S list of Alpha stocks: Comp. De Minas Buenaventura ADS (BVN). On this same date, the new Alpha's closing price dropped below its EMA-13. A "buy flag" was thus triggered and the stock, subsequently, was virtually bought at its opening price on March 20, 2008. On March 20, 2008, a new stock was included in ACE'S list of Alpha stocks: Comp. Siderurgica Nacional ADS (SID). On this same date, the new Alpha's closing price dropped below its EMA-13. A "buy flag" was thus triggered and the stock, subsequently, was virtually bought at its opening price on March 24, 2008. Table A below summarizes the portfolio's line items, after the sell and buys have been completed on March 24, 2008.
