Be kind, leave a comment or let me know why you started following.  I tried to email but something screwy with google not letting me connect.

IPO research

I just did a real simple review of IPOs since the last time I did them.  I'll probably start following BOX as it seems a popular company, wont trade as it is not the kind of thing I can understand.  I'll dig into SHAK more, as well as INCR.  I can do a drive by INCR, they seem to have a ton of employees.

Triple confirmation and saying goodbye to an old friend.

Tesla is not looking so hot from a technical perspective.  I'd been planning on holding it for many years but it has lagged behind my other two stocks.  It is trading below common averages, many of which are moving lower.  It failed to retake these key averages at end of 2014.  I sold out.  Chart below:



Novavax has performed well, finally breaking out of multi year highs.  I might have jumped the gun adding more this am but expect that over the years it will continue to do well.  I've looked over some of the trading books on my shelf and have tried to reinforce that this is a good point to add to a potential winner.  It is a potential triple combination winner ala Weinstein book (P.148) with good RS (blue line), breakout on high volume (some critique over building volume of past several weeks), and it has experienced a nice move in price after at least a 50% move from the $4 range when it broke out of 6 resistance.



I'm still watching TSLA for more big moves.

Reversion to Mean

Maybe I won't do it this year.  10.6% YTD.

2014 Brief review

Work related accounts without much choice: 9.62% and 9.98%.  Annuity unknown, likely a little less due to fees.

Personal accounts managed returned >14.1%.  SP500 was 11.4% this year.  These accounts at times were down 30%, similar to years past where TSLA stock and options were underwater before being profitable.  I don't think I traded emotionally in and out of anything.  The year was really quite boring except for the odd breakout hopes.

Plans for 2015 remain the same. Fund Roths and 401Ks. Stick to trading plan.  Enjoy life. Dance and play the banjo. Consider retirement this or coming years.

I've beat the market 3 years in a row!  Will I return to mean?
