History: Robert Hsu and COGO

Original post date September 8th 2008

On his second issue of his $3.000/year Asia Pacific Edge, on May 12th 2006, Mr. Robert Hsu told his paying subscribers to buy COGO, writing sentences like:

[REMOVED]

or


COGO [REMOVED] more than doubling from $6 to $13. [REMOVED] That's exactly the kind of operational performance I was looking for. [I COULD NOT REMOVE THAT...]

[REMOVED]

Buy COGO under $15 now for another 33% run to $20 in 3 months.

Buy price was around $13.78

Let's see now what Mr. Hsu was saying the following weeks, until he decided to sell on July 12th 2006. And we will also see what happened next...

May 17th - close price $13.18

[REMOVED]
Continue to buy COGO under $15.


May 24th - close price $14.28

[REMOVED]
Buy COGO under $15 for a run to $20 when market conditions stabilize.


May 31st - close price $15.72

[REMOVED] top buy [REMOVED]
Buy COGO on dips under $15 for a move to at least $20 in three months.


June 7th - close price $13.52

[REMOVED]

[REMOVED] COGO is an attractive buy up to $15.


June 14th - close price $11.70

[REMOVED]

Hold COGO for now due to current market conditions.

June 21st - close price $11.24

[REMOVED]
Continue to hold COGO.

June 28th - close price $10.97

[REMOVED]

Hold COGO in current market conditions.

July 5th - close price $10.89

[REMOVED]

Continue to hold COGO until we see stronger momentum, which I expect to be anytime now.

July 12th - close price $10.84

Take advantage of today's 6% bounce and sell COGO.
[REMOVED]

A loss of 21% for Mr. Hsu and his $3.000/year subscribers on this round.

But what happened next? What if you bought when Mr. Hsu was saying "SELL"?



If you bought at $10.84 on July 12th, when Mr. Hsu was saying "SELL" you would have done a 66% gain in 5 months...
