Sold a stock for the first time!

And I thought I would not do stock trading.

Despite the risk tied to it, there I was breaking a promise to myself not to proceed to stock trading.

Below is a notification from COL Financial indicating my Buying and Selling activities.

On the GREEN tab appears the stocks I bought and when I bought them. The RED  tab shows the stock that I sold and the date I sold it.
I have instructed COL Financial to buy 500 shares of BLOOM for me when it hits the price of ₱9.00 and so COL Financial did it on March 3, 2014 when the price hits exactly ₱9.00.

The next day I instructed COL Financial to sell 500 shares of BLOOM for me when it hits the price of ₱9.66 and again COL Financial did without any trouble on March 7, 2014 giving me a net profit of ₱259.65.

I made a buying and selling preview on Microsoft Excel which I use to tinker on stocks, like experimenting and speculating.

I decided to sell it at ₱9.66 because I had set my satisfaction level to 5.7% gain.

I will regret selling this stock later. See here why: Hindsight is better than foresight.
