Monday's Outcomes

I analyzed BBY as a potential high-volatility play but was unable to get a fill. I shall revisit it on Aug. 22 for further analysis.

I postponed analysis of WMT to accommodate an earnings announcement. I shall revisit the symbol on Aug. 17 for further analysis. See the advisory here.

I entered five shares positions using my small-lots strategy:

sym	shares	entry date	exit date	entry price per share	exit price per share	result $	result %	annual rate	days held	tactic
HRC	1	8/15/2016		58.30						momentum
MHK	1	8/15/2016		213.11						momentum
UNH	1	8/15/2016		142.63						momentum
CRUS	1	8/15/2016		51.70						momentum
RM	3	8/15/2016		19.91						momentum

I exited five small-lots positions:

sym	shares	entry date	exit date	entry price per share	exit price per share	result $	result %	annual rate	days held	tactic
CASH	1	8/11/2016	8/15/2016	58.74	57.62	-1.12	-1.94%	-177.37%	4	momentum
LH	1	8/12/2016	8/15/2016	140.20	139.85	-0.35	-0.25%	-30.45%	3	momentum

Note that in the tactic column, I have changed nomenclature and am using "momentum" where I was used "zacks".
