Well, New Year has not brought much upside. Instead, it has wiped out last month’s gain! I opened a position in PMCGX in 401k account as it’s in over sold condition. I expect that the current uptrend will continue, I may add more until it goes below 22 where my stop loss is set.

LFC, HNP and SUNW
LFC reversed a little bit after it gapped down when the news came out about SEC formal probe.
SUNW is under pressure after today’s downgrade. I would close my position if it drops below 5 (It lost over 5% today, previously it’s 25% gain). I was tempting to sell it at 5.5 last week, but changed mind at last minute as I was thinking that it might break out from 5.5. I guess that there were people who were unloading positions around 5.5 to keep it under selling pressure. I would be a buyer again at lower price, say 4.7.
HNP resolved this triangle to the downside.
