Added Lumber Liquidators (NYSE: LL) in the Portfolio

Added Lumber Liquidators (NYSE: LL). 1000 shares @13.16 were bought in the [model portfolio]. Solid earnings reported recently and IBD 100 potential makes what we think is a low risk for potential move over 15 in the near term

Added Bolt Technology (NASDAQ: BOLT) to the Portfolio

Added Bolt Technolgy Corp (NASDAQ: BOLT). 500 shares @18.17 were bought in the [model portfolio]. After seemingly great earnings, this stock has fallen back far too much far too fast. Great business for the times we are living in (marine seismic energy sources used in marine seismic exploration for oil and gas)

Added Echelon Corporation (NASDAQ: ELON) in the Portfolio

Added Echelon Corporation (NASDAQ: ELON). 750 shares @12.85 were bought in the [model portfolio]. This stock continues to have great trading ranges that we are doing our best to take advantage of. The longer term conservation angle and China expansion still remains as a backdrop support.

Added CVR Energy, Inc.(NYSE: CVI) in the Portfolio

Added CVR Energy, Inc.(NYSE: CVI) 900 shares @23.92 were bought in the [model portfolio]. This is a refiner that also happens to have a fertilizer business that it is spinning off in the future. With so much attention to that sector I think this is a nice risk versus reward play.

Added MannKind Corp. (NASDAQ: MNKD) in the Portfolio

Added MannKind Corp. (NASDAQ: MNKD) . 3000 shares @2.03 were bought in the [model portfolio]. This is extremely high risk/potential reward type of stock that recently got hammered and is trading for around net cash. HIGH SPECULATION HERE, hence the small position

Sold UFP Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: UFPT) in the portfolio

Sold UFP Technologies Inc (NASDAQ: UFPT) . 1500 shares @10.25 were sold in the [model portfolio]. Although it seems like this stock could easily continue higher, we reached the target in such a short amount of time that we must take the profits in the portfolio to remain disciplined. We will look to buy again on any solid dip in the stock price.

Added WSI Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: WSCI) to the portfolio

Added WSI Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: WSCI) . 900 shares @12.36 were bought in the [model portfolio]. This is extremely volatile stock that has pulled back sharply off recent highs. It looks like a buying opportunity here with the market being down big.

Sold North American Galvanizing & Coatings (NASDAQ: NGA) in the Portfolio

Sold North American Galvanizing & Coatings . 3000 shares @ 5.51 average were sold in the [model portfolio]. We are not seeing the price action we want here and are unwilling to hold through earnings with no price cushion. Small loss taken and move on to better things.

Sold Echelon Corporation (NASDAQ: ELON) in the portfolio

Sold Echelon Corporation (NASDAQ: ELON). 750 shares @15.06 were sold in the [model portfolio]. We still love the name but this market is far too dicey not to take ~19% gains in a short amount of time on any stock. We will look for reentry if the opportunity presents itself.
