How I made my $

Well, many of you have been asking me how i made my 3,000 in 21,000.
In one month. First of all i would like to thank everybody who replied
to my earlier post Need Advice..., thank you for sharing your advice
and experiences with me. Now, i have my account under my parents name,
so that is why i can trade and have a margin account.  Well, my first
huge break was AAGP--Active Apparel Group.  You probably heard about
them in late December.  I was on Christmas vacation, so i had time to
research and buy stock, and actually spend some time.  Well, i had
noticed that active apparel had doubled when they announced that they
were going to open a Internet site from aprox 1 to  2 per share.  I
kept a watch on that stock.  Over my Christmas vacation, i saw that it
had dropped back down.  Then i thought What will happen when they
actually open their Internet site?  So i bought 500 shares at 1 1/8. 
I kept it for a couple days and it went up to 1 1/4 and was not moving
much.  But then the day they announced the open of their Internet site
the shares went from 1 1/4 to 11.  I sold that day at 11.  But then
the next day it went up to 25.  Boy was i pissed.  So i decided to
sell short.  I sold 500 shares short @ 20 5/8.  I knew that the stock
was totally over valued.  The next day the stock went down to about 9.
 And i bought to cover then.  Another stock i made more than a 100%
return.  It was ISAC.  I had bought this stock at 2 1/16.  And it was
down to 1 at times.  So i had lost more than 1/2 of my money.  Then
one day over break at the end of the trading day, i saw that the
volume was raising and the price was going up.  It still closed under
2.  But i decided to watch it at the market open.  Within the first 5
minutes of the first day it was up to about 2 1/2.  I put at limit
order to sell at 3.  Then i saw that the bid was still going up, so i
canceled and changed it to 4 1/8.  It was still going up, so then
again i canceled and changed the order to sell limit 5.  It went to 5
and i sold.  The high for the day was reached around that time and it
was 5 3/4.  Then that same day the price went back down under 2. 
Currently, it is at 1 and something.  Currently, i own SMTK. I bought
2000 shares @ 1 1/4.  It is now priced at 2 11/16.  A 115% gain.  This
stock's 52 week high is about 33, and right now it is dramatically
undervalued.  I am going to hold on to this baby for a while.  I think
it will go up at least 10 in the near future.  And maybe more in the
long run.  I have other stocks, but those gains are under 100%. 
Interestingly enough, all the stocks i have picked in the last 2
months have gone up some %.  I have not lost money on any.(i bought
ISAC  about 3 months ago, that was a stupid decision, but i got
lucky).  I now have a fool-proof system.  I never lose $ with the
stocks i pick.  I just wish i could spend more time researching and
trading in real time.  I don't have the capability to trade real time
because i am in school, so i have to be a end of the day trader.  I
guess that is OK for now, i will stay in school and continue to
excel(thanks for the advice everybody).  I have finals this week, so i
have to go study now.  Well, i hope that gives you a little insight on
how i made my $.  Thanks for baring with my long explanation, but i
just want to paint a clear picture. I would tell people some more
stocks that i think are going to go up, but i think that is illegal,
right?  I don't want to be responsible  for the inflated prices.  If
it is not illegal, i will gladly share some of my picks.  So Please
tell me if it is illegal or not. Oh, also this summer i want to start
trading options.  If someone can give me a good starting point at
which i could start, i would greatly appreciate that. Thanks. 
L8er, 
Jawad
