Update on Challenge and Picks. Last Pick up 8% in 2 days. Selling and Buying for Tuesday 4/24/27.
Overall, we are still in the Top 1% from following a consistent strategy of utilizing core disciplines of Fundamental and Technical Analysis. In addition, throw in a dash of behavioral Finance, and we have had a good deal of success. The (ALTR) trade brought in a total of $115,000 of profits in the CNBC Portfolio, bringing us up to approximately $1,600,000. Today’s recommendation is one that has potential as it is in a sector that usually sees a high degree of volatility. Today we sold the entire position at the close of the market.

CNBC Competition: Stocks to BUY for Friday along with a review of the week. A short course in Fundamental and Technical Analysis
The week was probably one of the worst we have had as most positions that were closed showed slight losses. Fortunately, our thorough research allowed for a limited downside since it is important to watch the loss potential even as this is a “swing for the fence” investment approach. Temped by Logitech (LOGI) on Wednesday but concerned about their webcam business sector helped to keep us keep clear. Amazingly, the earning release specifically pointed to a surprising slow down in that sector held down earnings. The stock took a 10% hit on Thursday.
Still, the buys of (IGT) (STX) and (BK) were of no help. The week through Friday shows a 1.0% loss for the portfolio and the (CREE) purchase on Thursday does not look like it is going to be a big help to the performance either. One important note: the positions that were bought without a great deal of conviction all had reduced allocations. This helped the portfolio stay in the top 1% of the 978,302 registered contestants. The lesson to be learned here is to make sure that your portfolio never gets away from you. Make sure to have good entry and exit plan and stay convicted to you disciplines.
