It’s no secret that the fastest way to compound your money is to keep it working for you. For that reason, when I’m in the market, I do my best to keep my trading capital at work in stocks that are on the move. I lose patience quickly in trades that stall out, because I know there’s opportunity elsewhere I ought to be capturing. So when a stock begins to lose steam, I raise my stops aggressively so that if the trade begins to flutter, I am checked out of the stock and am free to put my money to work elsewhere.

KEA worked for a little while, but once it slowed down I raised stops aggressively. When stocks slow down, there is opportunity elsewhere to capture.

Today I was stopped out of KEA (Keane Inc.), but with a gain. I highlighted this stock as a swing trading candidate in my stock newsletter 2 weeks ago with a buy point of $14.50. Read more »

The results are in, and today’s t-shirt for the Masters Trivia has been claimed! Congratulations to Jason T. of Scottsdale, AZ on winning today’s trivia! He’s in the right place to love golf, and his 3-part answer certainly demonstrated some Masters expertise. Jason, nice work - your t-shirt is on its way!

The correct answers were:
1) Holes 11, 12, and 13 make up Amen Corner at Augusta National.
2) Ben Hogan shot 66 at age 54 to post the lowest round by a senior back in 1967.
3) Nick Price and Greg Norman share the course record of 63 at Augusta National.

Thanks to all who participated in today’s trivia. Those of you who answered correctly but weren’t the first to do so, take heart! Just like missing out on a good trade, there will be more T-Shirt Trivia opportunities ahead! Thanks again for participating and for reading TheStockBandit.net!

See you back here tomorrow for more market chatter and trader talk!

It’s Masters week and that means one thing: I’m glued to the TV from Thursday through Sunday! It’s my favorite major to watch and one of my best college golf memories is the time I was able to visit Augusta National (clubhouse, Champions’ locker room & all!). So, it’s only fitting that this week’s T-Shirt Trivia takes us to the Georgia pines and dogwoods of Augusta! If you’re trading today, you have no shot at winning a green jacket…..but here’s your shot at winning a green t-shirt!

The first person to answer all 3 questions correctly will win a free T-shirt from TheStockBandit.com!

Only a few rules apply:
1. You must use the contact form when you submit your answer.
2. Include your name & mailing address when you submit your answer.
3. Only the first completely correct answer submitted will win a t-shirt.

Today’s T-Shirt Trivia has 3 parts:
1) Which holes make up Amen Corner at the Masters?
2) At the age of 54, this golfer shot a 66 for the lowest round by a senior in The Masters. Who was it?
3) Which two men share the course record of 63 at Augusta National?

Tiger is back to defend his title in search of green jacket #5 starting on Thursday.

If you know the answers, send me your name & address (and shirt size) via the contact form, and the first to correctly answer all 3 questions wins today’s t-shirt! Good luck!
