Averaged down my FFIV to 84.99, Sold my BAC for an 8% gain

Published on August 11, 2011 By Raymond Popowich

I guess it’s all about the first and last 30 minutes of the day for the time being. My F5 is a longer term hold that I added to this morning. I didn’t get what I was looking for a couple days ago with BAC so I happily took an 8% gain before the close.

Stock Market Chaos, Debt Ceiling, Gold, What stocks do I buy?

Published on August 4, 2011 By Raymond Popowich

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)?

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 [...]

Sell ERTS @ $16.55
