I decided to experiment with limits - I put a 10+/- % sell limit on CMCM over Friday's close.  So what happens - the d**n stock opens up 8% keeps going  and I get limited out for a 2% gain for the week - and the stock closes at 11.21 up $1.30 for a 13.23% gain 
    Geez I finally pick a big winner and end up with bupkis

Hmmm- That's a tough break Blygh- perhaps you could have specified a Sell at a 10% gain vs a fixed price target?
I can do that in IB in real time orders based on % vs dollar amounts.
Geez- +10% in a week x 52 weeks- let me get my calculator...Mercy!

Real Deal in front, Ira chasing - Blygh 3rd

[ira85]

I'll ride PETQ long. Friday close. Stop at 34.25.

I don't remember if there is a rule on how early we can make a pick. If this is too early, I'll make my pick later, if possible.

As much as I'd like to ride CGC this week, I think caution should be taken. Yes, it might go to the moon with millions of buyers wanting a piece of the ground floor opportunity. I'm very tempted. But it has a lot of risk, seems to me. If it goes to the moon I'll be the first to think woulda, coulda, shoulda.

Instead I'll go with a company that makes money on people who pamper their pets. I know a lot of those people and it seems like a good strategy. Very nice action the past two weeks. -ira

No problem with the fact that you chose early that I can see - anyone have issues?

I'll follow your direction IRA, but will Buy STZ at the market close today.. They have a $4 Billion dollar interest in CGC.
STZ -has been down for a couple of months, trying to move higher today, with some catch up room to go. NFLX would be my next choice.
