Canadian Stock Pick of the Day - Understanding How it Works

Canadian Stock of the Day is for traders who are looking for a Canadian Stock to trade each day. I base my picks on Canadian Stocks I follow on the TSX or Venture Exchange, watching for a swing in the momentum upward. I keep a tight stop loss on all trades to minimize my risk... and allow the great stock trades to continue rising. These are not recommendations... merely entertainment. Please see the warning at the bottom of this page.

Canadian Stock of the Day for August 18, 2011


Hump Day... and we still don't have clear direction other than no change.

Let's take a look at where we stand.

August 17th, I chose BCE.TO @ $38.55 with a stop loss @ $38.16.  It triggered and closed at $38.35, for what I'll call even for now.  I'm leaving my stop loss in place.

For August 18th, I'm choosing ONR.TO @ $6.94 with a stop loss @ $6.82.

UPDATE

So far, I have had 6 stocks up, 3 at even, and 7 losses.. for an overall profit of 11.1%.   

If your interested in a more stable approach to trading, consider the weekly model at http://investinthemarkets.com/ where we continue to make consistent returns without the stress that the daily markets may cause some investors.  We continue to hold some healthy gains, including one at 35% plus.

See you tomorrow!
