Today I’ll start off by closing 2 stock picks, one is a loser and the other is a big time winner. I’m a big believer in Apple (AAPL) as many of you know so closing a losing trade on that name isn’t much fun. It’s not terribly surprising though when you look at Apple’s stock. So here are the stock picks I’ll be closing out on today’s opening:Long Apple (AAPL) & Short Blue Nile (NILE) -32,65%
Long Google (GOOG) & Short Demand Media (DMD) +51,54%
Overall it’s obviously a solid result and things are looking much better these days for my 2013 tech stock picks. It’s not excellent but it’s decent which is a start I guess! You can always take a look at my results here:
