Finally I can report my portfolio is in the black! Earlier in the week I noticed I was creeping up and ended the week at 16 US and 15 Canadian. This was helped by the markets having a good week, I also noticed I beat (up 1.56) the S&P (up by 0.36).
Since some of my losers were up, I decided to sell, take the cash and buy just one more stock.
So happy to sell Krispie Kream. It had looked so promising but something "happened" as the stock, which had gained rapidly since August, started dropping. Silly me.
I thought Agrium was a good idea. I don't know if I had thought for a longer period of time perhaps I would have realized it's not planting season!
CF Holdings I bought because it was one of the top earners in our game. Turns out not for me. Bye Bye.
Shoppers I sold because I just felt I could invest the money more aggressively for our last few weeks.
I have 11 stocks in my portfolio and other than AVON which has lost over one thousand dollars, the US group is doing well. On the Canadian side I am now ahead on the CNG stock (up over 100 this week) and LULU is almost at break even. Rim is sucking but I hold high hopes. The big winners are my gold stock and MasterCard.
I am so glad I unloaded several stocks this week and made some cash too! I considered again the holidays and what does everyone buy? I tossed around the obvious then it hit me. I bought at 25.03 and it closed the week at 25.29 making me 250 bucks so far.
