Watchlist Results
Check out how the top Stocks on our Watchlist performed each month! Typically I don't give entries and exits. Sometimes I'll Tweet when I am buying or selling a Stock and what price I purchased or sold it at. These are NOT alerts or buy calls! I'm a firm believer in having a Trade Plan and strategy of your own before entering into any Trade. Most of the Stocks I Trade have plenty of meat on the bone and offer multiple buying and profit taking opportunities throughout the week or month! Please undestand that my typical plan is a 1-5 day hold. ALWAYS lock in profits especially on breakout days I can't stress this enough!

January had some great calls. Alot of Biotech plays that peformed really well for us. This month was a perfect example of how just a few winners will be more than enough to cover many losers, if you cut your loss's early and let your winners run! Proper Risk Management and Position Sizing was key in January. The health care sector remains strong with Biotechs right on top. Looking forward to Febuary and continued strength in the Boitechs. Good luck Traders!

Febuary was a great month with so many opportunities. The Biotechs continued to show impressive strength with the sector up 60% this year! We even got to get our hands dirty in a couple of Oil plays that played out very nicely. Over all a great month with unlimited opportunities.

March was a very interesting month for me. Had alot going on outside the market. Overall it felt slow, Which was expected with the crazy action in the market for the first 2 months. Still finished nicely with plenty of quality plays off the watchlist. Along with the many Short opportunities we had. Lookign forward to next month. Good luck all!

April was an awesome month after a slower March. We had a lot of consolidation plays that lead to some really nice BIG breakouts! $HABT was by far my favorite play and was added to our Watchlist around $31.00. We were also able to nail a good short on $VLTC off its dead cat bounce. Heading into May I will have my eyes on the oil sector as well as our solar industry. Opportunities are always presenting themselves in the market. Timing is key and patience has been paying off well.

$FCB ...................................... 9.5% + 2.56
$COWN ..................................... 7% + $.43
$LC ................................... 10% + $1.90
There wasn't a whole lot of swings that I was able to capatlize on in May. We did however have a sweet breakout on $FCB after the call out on May 5th. We were able to hit $LC for a small gain but it didn't reverse like we wanted. We were able to nail a short on $PTBI from $9.90 for over $1.00 per share in profit. We were also able to get a nice momentum short on $VBLT and held for a couple of days. $COWN we dip bought at $5.50 played out very well and are still long a full position going into next month. Biggest loss goes to being squeezed out 3 times on $PBMD an insane runner this month. Loss's were not major but the 3 added up to a very noticable dent. As summer winds down we expect markets to slow and volume to decrease.

June turned out to be an awesome month with huge opportunity from our relative volume small cap scans. We had two great Wedge Breakout plays on $ZIOP and $MDXG
Our $COWN swing continued higher and closed into new 52wk highs. $AGEN played out a nice resistance breakout with great range. $IMMU had a huge breakout that we unfortunatley missed, but I did see a couple followers that capitalized on it which is awesome! We also got a decent Flag breakout play on $UAM which was our smallest gain of the month. June ended up a better month than I had anticipated and really made up for the slower May.

July was an extremely slow month, which was expected as we headed into the middle of summer. Less volume and less opportunities to trade. We had a couple good movers such as $ZIOP. I was happy to nail a good trade here as I got stopped out of our first opportunity last month. We were also able to find a decent play on $CLNE on a daily chart flag break for about a $1.00 move. As July wraps up I am definitely looking for more action come August. As we talked about when the market are in a "lull" like they are mid summer trade less size and be twice as picky with your setups.

August turned out to be a month of turmoil for the markets. As we saw a huge market sell off about mid August that sent a lot people into panic. fear of a possible market crash spreading through the news was not helping the situation. September followed with the exact same story. Market turmoil and slim opportunities available. Trade setups were scarce during the 2 month period and minimal trading occurred. A few great setups that worked out of our watch lists included $ADXS on a short squeeze play from $14.00 to over $18.00, $NDRM on a flag break with over $3.50 worth of range. $BLDR on a breakout over $15.50 that had a high around $16.50, $ARQL and $MNGA both had large breakouts out of their wedges.

$AF ...................................... 9% + $1.50
After the large market sell off in September the markets were poised for some kind of bounce. Come to find out this bounce was going to be huge and led to great market strength. The market basically went straight up for all of October giving countless opportunities to capitalize on low risk, high reward setups. A perfect Inverted H&S breakout on $NFX gave us a $3.00 move. Overall things look like they could be turning around as the $SPY attempts to return to prior highs. October turned out to be an awesome month with large breakouts that had amazing range. Giving opportunity to lock great profits.

November was a great month and had a lot of follow through momentum from October. Out short term channel idea on $WIN worked out really nicely, even with overall big picture of the chart looking bearish. $SWHC had an insane Ascending Triangle breakout for a massive $5.00 move, making it the largest breakout we've watched in over 9 months. With stricter gun laws coming into effect in 2016 you can bet we will continue to have eyes on any stocks that pertain to guns including $RGR.

December felt a little slow as the over all market began to struggle and started to sell off. These conditions lead to only being able to find very modest moves for the majority of the month. Towards the end of the month $LPTH appeared on the scanner for a possible flag breakout and it did not disappoint. With over $1.00 worth of range on a $2.00 stock is not something you get to be involved in every day and that alone made the month of December end on a good note. It will be interesting to see what 2016 brings and if our market will officially enter into a bear market.
