Analyzing Your Stock Activity

1. List your investments in order of their previous performance since your previous evaluation period:
1. HL  $7.12 $7.59 Increase of 6.60%
2. SLV $40.19 $42.61 Increase of 6.02%
3. CSCO $15.70 $15.06 Decrease of 4.08%
4. And So on.....
5. This way you can easily recognize your winners and losers
2. Determine your potential Gain or potential Loss (don't buy a stock with a potential loss 90% and potential gain of 10%).
1. Suggestion:
1. write down the price at what you expect to sell if you have a loss (4% or less below your purchase price
2. write down the price at what you expect to sell if you have a gain (10% or more from your purchase price OR maybe when your stock's P/E ratio increases 100%)
