Bioc Gains - Friday February 27th

BIOC

On Friday February 27th, I was trying to figure out what stock to invest in. I noticed the stock BIOC was at a low price (yes the stock I lost all my money in). However, I learnt something from that stock, I noticed that the graph indicated it was a low price and would go up that day. I had a feeling that it would continue to go up. I bought it at $2.92 per share, I put all my money into the company giving me 38498 shares. I had put a stop oder on the company at $2.95 once it surpassed $3.00. I ended up selling for $2.95. At that point I thought it was going to go up again and knowing the stock was a fluctuating one that changed every second I knew I could make some money. Once again I put all my money in at $2.95 giving me 38837 shares. I watched my money grow to $3.57 later on in the day and decided to cash out. With these two trades I made, just over $25, 000 at the end of the day I was up around 26%.

BIOC

BIOC

On February 23rd, 2015 I noticed that a company called Biocept Inc. had broken it's yearly high. Without doing any research on the company, I decided to short sell the company. I short sold the company at $2.26 and then later on in the day, I noticed that the company was continue to go up, once this hit I decided to buy to cover at $2.90. I had 10,000 shares of that company. This was one of my big looses. Earlier in that day I also lost money in BIOC, because I bought it high and lost some money. So using this as long at it surpassing its 52 week high, I assumed it would continue to go down and I was hoping I could make some money. I quickly realized that it would be a good idea to look into companies before investing in it. Later on that day, I decided to look into the company I found that "Biocept Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOC) announced that its blood-based diagnostic, was used to determine hormonal status of metastatic breast cancer patients in a prospective study at Columbia University in New York." After seeing this, I immediately understood why it went through the roof.

GASL

GASL - Feb 18, 2015- Feb 23, 2015

On February 20th, in Finance class during 3rd period I asked Mr. Whalen for a hot stock tip. I wanted to know a way to make some quick money. He told me invest in a company called GASL. We both went into the company along with a few other students. I bought the company at $4.41. I didn't check the stock over lunch or during 4A. In ILIP (4B) I decided to check the stocks, I saw that I was loosing a little bit of money. I decided to keep it over the weekend. On Monday morning, I noticed that I was still loosing money in the company. I spoke to Whalen during class and he told he sold it during 4A and made some money. I checked again and immediately realized it was going to continuously go up. After that I immediately sold the company. I sold the company at $4.16 per share. I was invested into 9195 shares. I lost around $2,500.
