selling Hammond +18% in 2 weeks

Hammond Power continues to be kind to us despite difficult markets, so we shall not be greedy as we remain general market bears.

The stock closed today 18% above our additional entry of just two short weeks ago, so we book that gain now.

We are currently +185% on our "core" Hammond position entered in October of 2006 per this blog. 6 weeks ago we sold an additional Hammond postion we'd held for 10 months for 34% profit, and we had also added a position in February '07 which we sold two weeks later for a 23% profit as per this blog.


Thus far in 2008 we've closed 8 positions for an average 25% gain on an average holding period of 6 months which implies an annualized gain of 50%.
