MON 3/9: KGC – SELLING (ALL) @ $31.29 -11.2%

James F. Taulman BB - SIDEBAR, JTPP, JTPP PERFORMANCE, KGC, PERFORMANCE

10:02 AM – Dumping the remainder of my KGC position here this morning. The gap down below the 10 DMA on 3/3 was the first technical violation, followed a few days later by the loss of the 50 DMA. Now with shares making new lows this morning, it’s clear the stock is in a deteriorating trend. Reducing exposure further by exiting the position entirely.

James’ Trader’s Tip: When Violations Stack Up

  • A break below the 10 DMA is often the first sign that momentum is fading.

  • Losing the 50 DMA soon after confirms deeper technical deterioration.

  • When violations stack up, exiting the position preserves capital and keeps the portfolio focused on stronger leaders.

FRI 3/6: KGC – SELLING (1/3) P/L: -$575.79 -12.8%

James F. Taulman BB - SIDEBAR, JTPP, JTPP PERFORMANCE, KGC, PERFORMANCE

3:54 PM – Shares are now clearly trading below the 50 DMA. That violation signals weakening intermediate momentum. This position has been under pressure for some time, so it’s overdue to scale back. Cutting loose 1/3 of the current position here.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Trim Losses Before They Grow

  • The 50 DMA often acts as a key institutional support level.

  • When a stock clearly trades below that line, risk increases quickly.

  • Reducing exposure early keeps losses manageable and preserves capital for stronger opportunities.

9:46 AM – Gold related stock continue to move higher this morning as shares are not too extended from their 10 DMA. Jumping on this KGC with a 2/3 opening position in my personal account as my account is at all-time highs, up +6.4% YTD and +61.2% YOY, so I feel I can afford the involved risk.

An ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Locking in Profits in Extended Trades

  • When a position gains significantly from a proper breakout point, consider taking partial profits to lock in gains.
  • Strong rallies can reverse quickly — banking profits allows capital to be redeployed efficiently.
  • Trimming into strength helps protect gains while keeping some exposure if momentum continues.
