A nice 410% gain in a little under seven months.

I don’t keep the cleanest notes so now I can’t end with my biggest winner. However, maybe I will post the stock again for emphasis at the end of this. So for today we have MGIC which produced a 408% gain in five months and a day.

I had a lot of money invested in this one as I loved the long term and short term chart and saw enough stocks move higher with less pretty charts. So I decided to plunge a little larger in this one due to all the green and was well rewarded with a huge gain. I also added to it along the way up, making a very nice profit. From the first buy to the top a nice 1,304% gain was realized in four months and three weeks.

This is the last big winner of the 99-00 period that I owned that still has a chart on TCNet. I was long QCOM and JDSU at points along the way in 1998 and 1999 but neither chart are pretty and that is the way with some other big gains I had during the period. I just wanted to keep it to the green to max green BOP stocks.

After this one, there is only one more big winner that I had during 99-00 that still exist today. This weekend I will post the stock that made me look like a genius back at my old firm as I added to the next one constantly on the way up.

However, sadly, near the end of September I sold half of my buy when it closed below the 50 day moving average, because I didn’t want to lose the big gains (so I thought) at the time. Luckily the next sell did not come until December, then another one in January, and my last one was on 5/24 a few days after the Nasdaq rolled back below the 200 day moving average without touching the 50 day moving average after the rally from the April lows. It was time to move to Maui so the stock had to be sold.

We will see this stock later on in the year as its rally wasn’t done and another great setup appeared.

I did not sell all of it at the top, obviously. But I did sell some over 1000%, it just wasn’t a lot. However, looking back this was by far one of my best and I am glad it still exist. 1,036% gain in six and a half months.
