HAST – Hasting Entertainment – 80-20 Portfolio – SOLD
Posted on | April 20, 2010 | 3 Comments
Just a quick update on HAST. I sold all 110 shares at $7.19 this morning for a total, minus the $4.50 Zecco commission, of $786.40. While the 57% increase on this investment in less than three weeks is unexpected in its quickness, it is too early to say whether the 80-20 strategy is worthwhile. I have not had a chance to find another purchase for 80-20 Portfolio, although I have identified several candidates. None have pasted all the criteria. There seems to be a large difference in how I am calculating the Piotroski F score and how Stock Investor Pro calculates it.
Also, remember that this profit in HAST is only a 5.7% increase in the 80-20 portfolio. Now obviously if I could make 5% a month, every month I would be quite, pleased. But I don’t have those kind of expectations.
Disclosure: I have no current positions in HAST.

Sorry your last comment got caught in my spam filter. I have posted it. I have been so swamped I haven’t been able to do any new research. I hope to get around to doing some more this weekend. Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot to me coming from you.
