Picks 05/17 – 05/21
Recently I was busy or out of town so I wasn’t able to update my blog as often as I would wish to. The most recent news is that I liquidated all my positions in my trading account (quite in time to avoid larger loses) and currently I am sitting in cash. Mostly I will Continue reading →

When I opened the computer on Friday and saw the drop in price, my first thought was “what happened again?” and that “I might have jumped in too early” when I bought Visa (V) the previous day.

Visa (V) added to portfolio
Today I bought back Visa (V), which I consider a great stock with a great growth potential. 13:40:39 Bought 18 V @ 86.718

Today these stocks opened mostly with gaps and I could have made money.” Yeah. This is what I have tried last Friday and Continue reading →
