Hello Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog, Stock Picks Bob's Advice! As always, please remember that I am an amateur investor, so please remember to consult with your professional investment advisors prior to making any investment decisions based on information on this website.
A few moments ago my Jones Soda (JSDA) hit an appreciation target at a 60% gain. I sold 35 shares of JSDA at $30.25. I now have 215 shares remaining of this stock that I purchased with a cost basis of $18.22 on March 12, 2007. This sale represented a gain of $12.03 over my purchase or 66.0% appreciation. On the upside, my next sale will be at a 90% appreciation level or 1.9 x $18.22 = $34.62 or on the downside, at half of the highest appreciation point, or at a 30% gain, I plan on selling all remaining shares. This sale point would be at 1.30 x $18.22 = $23.69.
Having sold at a gain, this represented "good news" and the nickel didn't last long in my pocket. I noticed that Medtox (MTOX) was on the top % list again, currently trading at $20.88, up $1.28 or 6.57% on the day. I went ahead and purchased 210 shares at $20.69. Wish me luck!
