Portfolio at $100,000 on Jul 1st, 2006 This portfolio will start with $100,000 cash and $100,000 margin. Support and resistance levels will be noted. Buy and sell price targets, and stop losses will be set.

Trades 16, 17, and 18 resulted in large losses from the use of stops. Trade 18 had a low stop. The stock fell slightly below that stop, which resulted in a very large loss, and then rose by a large amount. The other two stocks in trades 16 and 17 also rose by large amounts after the stop losses. Trade 11 resulted in a large loss. However, the loss would have been much greater without the stop.
