In this thread, only and exclusively posts containing buy and/or sell orders.
Preferably, post orders that are as fresh as possible; you don’t necessarily have to remember or have the time on the very same day. Please mention if it was due to a lapse in memory or another valid reason if you post orders that are weeks or months old. Let’s be lenient with brand-new forum members if they don’t post a completely fresh order, as they might not know about this “rule”.
If you want to ask someone, for example, “why did you buy shares of Keravan Kollit?”, quote the message of the person you are asking and then go to the Coffee Room (Kahvihuone), for example, to write your message.
Here are instructions on how to reply to a message that is in another thread:
It feels a bit bad as a father to make these decisions, knowing I might have missed out on big gains, but I have to be able to do things the “right” way.
So, 64% of the Faron holdings in my daughter’s portfolio have been sold. It was far too large a position for a child’s portfolio. I took the initial investment out, banked some profits, and left the remainder (house money) to run.
The proceeds were put into Bioretec, Optomed, and Aiforia (a bit less of the latter). So there’s still risk in the portfolio, but at least it’s diversified now.
PS. My own Faron shares are staying put. Too many relative to my situation, for sure, but there’s no other way to climb out of this hole.
For the 800 shares, about 500 euros in profit, I can wait a while with the rest. The CEO was keen on buying, so I thought there was a window for a play. A real player would have obviously made a better result with a leveraged product.
Old age must be setting in. I bought a few shares of a boomer stock, Huhtamäki.
I tried to swing trade Swedish Pila Pharma for quick profits. No such luck. Ended up with quick losses. I’ve probably only succeeded in that kind of maneuvering once. By luck, not skill. I sold them off, admitted my incompetence, and put the money into a Finnish index fund.
The portfolio even dipped into the red for the first time. I guess I’m not the only one But that’s just how it goes. Kempo is the worst culprit. Too much emotion involved. With others, I have a so-called stop-loss.
Another addition to the portfolio. Initial position in AppLovin at $73. I happen to want to shift some portfolio weight from the Nordics to the United States, so this mobile software development company was the one I picked up this time.
This went to the coffee room first when the thread changed, I got confused or something
Small day trades completed on the Equity Savings Account (OST) side:
Buy: Intel 1,000 shares [$19.38 / share]
Sell: (previous) 800 shares [$20.05 / share]
Selling the rest: Intel 200 shares [$20.20 / share]
Profit from today’s play: $650–700. Foolish business, but I had such a strong feeling that I could increase my cash reserves. Luckily it worked; don’t follow my example of this brief madness, Keijo just had such a strong hand that I had to play Texas Hold’em until the end.
Kalmar B sold at €26.54, with a loss of just over 4%. One reason for the sale is for tax planning purposes. However, I’ll remain curious and watch from the sidelines to see if the share price might drift into a downward trend heading into the Q3 results. I’m definitely interested in returning as a Kalmar shareholder.
The day didn’t turn out so bad after all, when -2% in the portfolio turned into +2% by the end of the day
I had an MPW buy order set around @4.00, but it really started heading uphill after the initial gloom. I then canceled the order and instead grabbed a 1,000-share addition of PSEC @ $4.85.
KHs out. Didn’t sell when the entire company strategy changed, didn’t sell on the profit warnings, well, finally managed to drag my lazy ass up and sell. And not even at the bottom
QT: sold at 90.60. Four successful swing trades with QT within a couple of months, and managed to generate a nice excess return this way.
Money back into the renovation fund. Buying the dip paid off this time. Almost everything else bought during the dip has also been converted back to cash.
Trimmed Faron at 2.18e so that the overweight dropped 150%–>125%.
After this, the average price for the remainder is 1.06.
The next batch would be sold above 2.5e.
Then the weight would be 100% and the average price exactly one euro.
Qt’s share price is a good four percent higher than last week, when it was around 83 euros. Yesterday’s price jump looked more dramatic than it actually was, as the share price had plummeted following this market panic right before the earnings report. That’s why I added to my position just then. If this were listed somewhere other than Helsinki, the price would be at a completely different level. In terms of valuation, I don’t think it’s bad at all. I’m sure we’ll be back above the hundred-euro mark soon.
BBS also added at €0.346, a small slice on top of my tracking position. Concrete sales promotion measures and production recruitment have started. Apparently, even the company itself is starting to believe in the CE marking being confirmed in the near future.
But that’s just how it goes. Kempo is the worst culprit. Too much emotion involved. With others, I have a so-called stop-loss.
