Black Friday produced a number of profitable sales. My Golden Bear (DUST) paid out bigger this time at 24.9% in three days. Gold prices took a massive hit in response to the Swiss Gold Referendum.

Fades in tech and food sectors produced tidy short-term gains: MXIM at 1.21% HRL at 1.73% MCHP at 2.75%. Holds for these were three to eleven days.

Whole Foods Market (WFM), which had been 40% down, came back to even money territory. I was glad to get rid of them at 1.35% - 1.65% profit. After a 207-day hold, that annualizes at a pathetic 2.6%. It would be difficult to quantify how much I would have earned/lost if I cut this loser, and traded the proceeds for 207 days. Perhaps I will invest proceeds of losing positions into SDY or SPY, or something else long-term.

In early November, Intel (INTC), Qualcomm (QCOM), and Sprint (S) dipped. I took the opportunities to fade trade them, for 1.16%, 1.32%, and .53% profits, respectively.

Yesterday, TJ Maxx (TJX) dipped on earnings and trimmed outlook. This made for a nice 1.87% fade profit.

I bought a number of new positions, once my settlement cash became available.

The leveraged ones reflect my views on market direction. I bought Ultra Vix (UVXY) very near its 52-week low. It has already grossed better than 5% in a single day. However, I am targeting $35.25, a 66+% gain. If I get that great; if not, I can adjust the target if I see a change in momentum.

The Golden Bear

Gold stocks rose in response to some China and Japan news. I believe gold is headed back down, so I bought the 3x leveraged Direxion Shares Trust Daily Gld Miners Bear 3x Shrs (DUST). It provides a convenient way to short gold.

Berkshire B (BRK.B) has been on my limit order list for a long time, unexecuted. I went ahead and bought the Buffet shares to hold onto. Keeping them in a taxable account, since taxable events such as dividends do not occur in BRK.B.

Maxim (MXIM), Microchip Technology (MCHP) and Extended Stay America (STAY) are divFade plays. I qualified for the dividends, and am now waiting on price targets to sell.

I bought into dips in Energy and Utilities in South America via Petrobrasil (PBR) and Cemig (CIG). Waiting on the fade.

CEFL is a monthly pay that I plan to hold onto.
