Around The Horn: Extra Innings For December 12
On Thursday December 11, 2008 we had three Around the Horn premium trades, two Extra Innings and two Stocks to Watch on our radar. Of these, one was profitable and two were losses. It is disappointing to have had several rough days this week as the volatility whips us around, up one day, down the next and intraday a real circus. But time has taught us again and again that sticking with our plan is profitable within each month and now is time for us to look to the forest, not the trees.
Anglogold Ashanti Ltd (AU) was a Line Drive long’s Around the Horn premium trade for Thursday trading. AU hit our entry an hour into the session from a gap down open. AU ran out of steam just below the 50% to target level where the stop would have been moved to breakeven. Exit was at the stop loss.

Enbridge Energy Partners (EEP) was a Fast Ball long Around the Horn premium trade for Thursday’s trading. EEP traded up through our price and to the 50% to target early to mid-session, only to trade back to the entry for a breakeven stop. Later we were again triggered in, and this time took a trip to the stop loss.
