I sold my IBM this morning (before earnings) at $189.42 locking in a 10% gain. There were several motivations for me to sell IBM for now including : IBM picked up a 10% gain while other stocks I picked at the same time (and most of the rest of the market) is down 10-20% over [...]
Ray, I’m curious… it sounds as if you are an active trader. How do you keep your transaction costs down? Also what about keeping track of everything for tax purposes (or is this all within a Roth)? Also, what are your net gains for being so aggressive, how do your gains or losses compare with [...]
I covered the RIMM and sold my MNRO early this morning. I locked in 5-6% on both of those. My 401K rollover also completed today. All of above gives me some extra cash across the Rollover IRA, my Roth, and my trading account. After a quick chat this morning I decided to wait until after [...]

I was going to make a nicer page with images and four rectangles but then I figured that might lead people to assume the rectangles are equal values when they really are not. Bullet lists it is! JF asked for my current lists of stocks and other major investments. This is generally how I look [...]
With my 401K rollover in the works I had sold my VFORX in my Roth IRA last week since I’ll be loaded in it within my rollover IRA. Lucky timing there since it was before the fuss over Egypt. Looks like those bucks should have missed most of the decline. Today I added to my [...]
