Company. AES "generate[s] and distribute[s] electric power in 27 countries through an array of world-class power businesses." (company website)

Buy. AES broke out of the doldrums around $8.50 near the end of May on increasing volumes. Alas, I waited until the beginning of June to buy.

Sell. I decided to sell when AES continued lower for the third consecutive day.

Ordinarily, I might have held on much longer, but volumes had been weak, and I have been burned too many times lately.
