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 Coach (COH) stock hit its 9th targeted sale point (!).  I just sold 14 shares of my remaining 85 shares at  $45.82.  These shares had a cost basis of $8.33, purchased 2/25/03, and thus I just had a realized gain of $37.49 or 450.1% on this purchase.  I have previously sold  small portions of my Coach stock at 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, 300,  and 360% appreciation levels!  This has been a phenomenal ride! 

When is my next sale targeted?  This would be at a 540% level, going by 90% intervals at this point.  Thus, of the remaining 71 shares, I would sell 1/6th or 11 shares if the stock should reach 6.40 x $8.33 = $53.31/share.  On the downside, my new sell point, at which time I plan on selling all remaining shares, would be at half of my highest targeted point.  Since my latest sale was at a 450% gain, then if the stock should retrace down to a 225% appreciation point, then all remaining shares would be sold.  This price would work out to 3.25 x $8.33 = $27.07.  All 71 shares would be sold at that point.

One other thing.

Since I only have 11 positions (of my targeted 25 position portfolio), this sale at an appreciation point gives me a 'signal' allowing me to add a new position.  That nickel is already burning a hole in my pocket!
