Friday dates, Monday opening prices.
When new trades occur, time lapses
before posting here.

The earlier of the two dates in each row is the entry signal date from the weekly letters for the 'Event' (Buy or Sell). The later date is the exit date. For short sales, the second date is the entry date. The Sell column includes original short sales. Short-sale dates are shaded gray.
'Event' prices are based on start date or Friday closing (or last trading day of the week) signals and show next day's (usually Monday's) first opening prices at or after 9:30am ET.
Real-time. These prices really happened on the dates specified.
But unless you personally participated in the reported openings,

Erratum. The January 19, 2007 weekly letter erroneously called for a short sale in OIH. It should have been SMH. OIH opened Monday morning January 22nd at 133.51. The next week's letter of January 26 corrected the error, covering OIH Monday morning January 29 at 132.62 for a small profit. SMH is correctly entered above in the table. The table reflects system accuracy. This box reflects correction of human error. See
mistakes.
