Buy

9-26-05. I added to my position again, after the touch-up with the 50-day moving average.

• Price momentum (PPO) — weakened in last weeks, but stabilizing
• Trend (ADX) — lost some strength, but buying pressure (+DI) starting to tick up again
• Money flow (CMF) — still positive
• Relative strength (RSI) — ready to cycle up again

With the other shares I still hold, my average share price is up to $7.45, so I still have a buffer.

Sell

9-Nov-05. After CAMD touched back to the purchase price of my last lot I set a stop-loss order to trigger if CAMD closed below $8.75. That condition was met yesterday, so my shares sold this morning.

The uptrend is still solidly in place (sidebar), and it's possible I may buy back in if the price corrects back near the 50-day moving average.
