2. HAFC was another great technical trade set up identified 1-11-2010 @ 1.05 by
the IHITS™ and, though the stock ended up giving up it's gains by years end, it did
provide our members the opportunity of a 306% profit potential in 4 months. Since our
community is made of day traders swing traders and investors We try to focus on stocks
with the most potential in the short term and longer to accommodate our members
different styles and objectives. For long term investors for the year HAFC didn't cut the
mustard, but again no one should be too upset with the 306% move for 4 months. In
addition we have always advocated trying to minimize risk and maximize gain, by taking
profits and building a free long core position or one at a significantly reduced cost basis.
