I bought MIDD @ $45

Seemed like a good time. Any thoughts?

Re: I bought MIDD @ $45

Well you got a nice immediate bump up to ~50, so good timing.

I am new to Rule One, but by my calculations the midway point is roughly 45-50 -- depending on future estimates. So, yes, I think that you made a good buy based on price alone. I assume you hit up all the other measures.

Sold at 54.xx due to trailing stop at 8%. I think this stock has potential though.

Re: I bought MIDD @ $45

Over 20% return in less than a month. Not bad. Hopefully you bought a lot of it. On my recent list of coulda shoulda wouldas:

MIDD - from $39-$57 in a month
USB - from $21-$32 in the same period

Both were on my watch list, and in both cases I was close to pulling the trigger at these lows, but decided to wait a little longer... doh!

Mike
