CRWD went public on June 12, 2019, at $34. Opening trade was $63.50 and closed at $67.55.
If you invested $100,000 at the closing price of $67.55, you would have purchased 1480 shares.
On January 24, 2023 your position could be sold for $143,857 after applying a 20% capital gains tax for a return of 44%.
Not bad in today’s market environment when tech companies are down significantly over the same period.
However, using the DynaLogic sell signal platform, over the same period of time, you would have returned 64% after all taxes.
You would have realized gains of $102,818 from the sell signals plus you would still own $61,428 of CRWD stock for a total investment return of $164,246.
That’s a 46% improvement over the buy and hold! Not too bad for just following and acting on our signal emails.
CRWD price peaked on Nov 9, 2021, at $293 and by early December 2021, a month later, CRWD had dropped 33% in value to $194.
During that same 30 month period, DynaLogic sent out 55 sell signals averaging just under 2 per month.
The stock made several runs at a new high reaching $239 on April 13, 2022 only to fall back to $137 less than a month later.
While many investors were waiting for CRWD to recover to a new high, DynaLogic continued to send sell signals.
DynaLogic was benefitting for all the price volatility and with every sell signal the portfolio was being diversified.
Using DynaLogic lets you lock in gains in a mathematical and opportunistic way, while still retaining upside. As we have said continually, DynaLogic doesn’t try to predict the future, DynaLogic prepares you for the future; selling when others are buying and buying when others are selling. Its tempting to keep riding a rocket ship, but the reality is they often come back to earth.
It's not about winning; it’s about not losing! It’s about not thinking “I wish I had done Something!”
