More of the Same

I am still at the bottom of the rankings mostly due to CNG and LULU. But I have gained on myself!

This week I researched companies like Hallmark and Carlton and others such as Cadbury and Nestle. My thought was to look at what I considered Holiday stocks. In the end either I did not want to purchase after viewing the history or the Brand name belonged to a big conglomerate like P&G.

I sold short Agrium last week and after a few days it rebounded and  I  covered. I don't like the idea of selling short. Perhaps if there is a company out there I would support pulling the plug on I might feel different.

I had MasterCard A on my watch list for a while and decided to go for it. I have no idea what the A stands for. I assume this is a great season for retail and by buying a retail related stock, like this one,  perhaps it's will have the effect of a mutual fund. I should benefit from all retail purchases.

I am not sure what I was thinking Last week I sold my US RIMM stock because I did not like the up and down action. This week I bought RIM Canada. I have to trust for a bit that my subconscious knew what I was doing. I feel a bit like a dork on this one.

I sold Estee. I  didn't want to but I really was not performing as it had in my other group.  It had been a big winner there and in the end I lost fake money at every turn. I may regret this.


My plan for next week is to make a decision about CNG and LULU and to plan a mini strategy that may contribute  to my portfolio as our game approaches the end.

Sticking my neck out.

The stock game reminds me of dating.
Hoping things will change, but not really having any control over the change. Trying to guess what might happen, will things improve?

Just not being able to toss in the towel because of the time invested so far. On the bright side...Playing stocks rarely leads to housework.
