Thanks Michael, I was looking for opinions before I sold half of  my position at the close today. It's that this is one of the few stocks in my portflio that is up and I didn't want to lose the profit.

John (thanks for your input) also pretty much has the same opinion as you do so I will hang on to it. I know anything can happen but long term I will be OK.

Applaud you both for the help.

I know this sounds crazy, but....
If I had to leave my computers for an extended period, say six months or even a year, I would feel perfectly comfortable selling everything I own and putting my entire portifiolo into this one stock -VPHM (PLEASE DON"T DO THIS AT HOME).
You see, the biggest problem with this equity IS US watching it incessantly. Our dreams will never be satisfied this way. If we leave it alone, walk away for a while, it will be $12 in no time. But I won't sell then.
I know this is the most difficult thing in the world for a trader to do, but from everything David has said and done here, it is this advice that I have profited the most from. Leave your emotions out of it.

Speaking of David, he has basically ignored this recent run-up.  I am curious to know what he thinks.  he is probably wishing he stild owned it.  David, if you get this, your opinion is valued.

Thanks

Fundamentally, VPHM is undervalued and the constant run of stock validates it. I regret selling my shares earlier but still thinks its not too late for those on the sideline.

Funny thing is that as soon as it hits double digits we may see some big money which generally does not trade shares under 10, may jump aboard. :)

Yep, that is my take also.

Doing research on catching these gems earlier...a lot of work but it can be done.

I will only post one when I firmly believe it is nailed for all.

I'm very happy I was able to add to my position today. Cost Basis is $8, for 4000 shares.

... what a shame, what I did to VPHM  :-[. A beautiful momentum stock with explosive volume and I've sold it with just 18% profit, no technical reason whatsoever.

My talk was wise:

1) The kind that I want: VPHM
2) The kind that I want: VPHM
3) The kind that I want: VPHM
4) The kind that I want: VPHM
5) The kind that I want: VPHM
6) The kind that I want: VPHM

But my actions were stupid:

The selling post


Now that I've read this again I'm aware of my total lack of discipline concerning this trade. And lack of discipline must be paid. If I had kept my plan I would have a 50% profit at this point. But I got out with just 18%. Of course, a man can sell shares and they continue higher, no problem with that. The problem is that I had a plan, and plans must be followed. If plans are not followed a man must pay is bill, with hard earned dollars.

The only way I have to stop being wrong is to start being right by stop being wrong. So, what to do now? Correct the mistake as I can, which is to buy back shares at a higher price and re-enter the initial plan.

Michael and other folks like the fundamentals of VPHM and I don't question the validity of their analysis. I don't want to know more, I have to buy VPHM tomorrow, I don't care if the stock may have a pullback, I have to buy it to correct a trading mistake.

Here's the chart, the most bullish on the street:




This analysis was part of the Top 10 stocks for Monday. At the end of the thread I concluded to buy 6.66% of capital in VPHM. Now I'm back to the old VPHM thread to update my analysis on VPHM everyday until I sell the stock.


David Randolph

I'm completely running out of time here before the opening bell, I'm glad I have my position back in VPHM, I don't mind if it does pullback now (candlesticks suggest it will).

I'll hold the stock as long as it remains above that blue ascending trendline. That's my trading plan and this time I will follow it !

JVC689

Dave,

Good plan as I see it.

BTW, I am likeing IBAS.OB

Gold standard crossover, Insider buying a little back and turnaround in process.

Anyone havea price target on it now ??? ;D

JVC689

Here are a couple of idea. Short term I look for working through the $10.20sh resistance and then consolidation when it hits $11.48 or so. After that, true value will take over and take it to the $20s by the end of the year. No guarantees of couurse.

Also WLDA bears a marked resemblance to this and may be to the airlines what VPHM is to Pharma. Check it out. I got in on the late SEC filing scare. We shall see.

$12.32 acts like a magnet on VPHM now. I don't see this bull run stopping south of closing that big gap on the long term chart. Then we'll see, the stock may go a lot higher than that, but that's my short term target and possibly a «take profit» zone.

(nice chart on WLDA JVC689, and considering the sector, something really positive must be going around that company)
