My Non-Day Trading Experiment - The 1st Buy

Today my mockfolio (mock-portfolio) received its first entry. My buy order (aka alert that my stock hit its target buy price) for Sprint was triggered. The mock-buy was for 1408 shares at $3.55. With a trade fee of $12.00 this means my first investment totals $5010.40.

Next step: sell at $4.0825 (I'll round up to $4.09.)

As for my watchlist:

• Las Vegas Sands (LVS) - is overbought. I am waiting for it to cross into oversold territory before placing a buy.


• Freddie Mac (FRE) - is headed toward oversold but I am still waiting for it to cross into actual oversold territory before placing my mock buy.


• Dryships (DRYS) - is still lingering in overbought territory near 80%. I have no idea what this means for my trading experiment so I'm playing dead for the moment.

Note: I am evaluating: AMD, SLM, LSI, AKS, Q and ELN for possible additions to my watchlist.
