Summary of my closed positions in the last year: Hormel Foods Corporation; Cerner Corporation; NIKE, Inc.; Corning Incorporated; Gilead Sciences, Inc.; NIKE, Inc.

Hello everyone! Last year I did six trades that I listed below, so you can see the results.
I am listing these companies according to the opening date.

 

Hormel Foods Corporation (HRL: NYSE) 2017.01.19 – 08.29.

 

Opening price: 36,08 USD
Opening date: 2017.01.19.
Cost of transaction: 0,6%
Closing price: 30,87 USD
Closing date: 2017.08.29.
Result of the trade: -15%

First of all the negative result was partly my mistake.
Although the trade didn’t succeed well I identified the fault.

 

Cerner Corporation (CERN: NASDAQ) 2017.01.19 – 06.09.

 

Opening price: 51,56 USD
Opening date: 2017.01.19.
Cost of transaction: 0,6%
Closing price: 67,34 USD
Closing date: 2017.06.09.
Result of the trade: +30%

This trade went very smoothly. Everything was done according to my expectation. I closed the position at market price.

 

NIKE, Inc. (NKE: NYSE) 2017.06.20 – 08.18.

 

Opening price: 51,7 USD
Opening date: 2017.06.20.
Cost of transaction: 0,6%
Closing price: 54,95 USD
Closing date: 2017.08.18.
Result of the trade: +5,6%

Nike was a bit tricky in that time because I had set up a stop loss order at 57,2 but the market overleaped the stop loss price. You can see the big gap. That’s why the result did not meet my expectations. 

 

 

Corning Incorporated (GLW: NYSE) 2017.08.23 – 12.01.

 

Opening price: 28,51 USD
Opening date: 2017.08.23.
Cost of transaction: 0,6%
Closing price: 31,53 USD
Closing date: 2017.12.01.
Result of the trade: +10%

This trade was as it is written in the Grand Book.
Although the position was closed by the stop loss order the result was satisfactory.

 

Gilead Sciences, Inc. (GILD: NASDAQ) 2017.08.29 – 09.13.

 

Opening price: 75,5 USD

Gilead Sciences, Inc. was a very fast trade. I did open this position right after the Hormel Foods Corporation was closed which was a very long lasting position. GILD position was closed by the stop loss order. As it turned out later, it was right.

 

NIKE, Inc. (NKE: NYSE) 2017.09.15 – 12.21.

 

Opening price: 53,7 USD
Opening date: 2017.09.15.

Result of the trade: +12,9%

With this NKE position I catched two-thirds of the upward trend. It was quite clear. Position was closed by the stop loss order.
