Too hot to handle
Well, things stayed green today, and pretty nicely too. Unfortunately, my portfolio gave up some from the morning and got whacked by the DJW5K pretty good. My junk put up just under 1/2%, which is a very good day generally. The market, however, managed .9%. Strange how I'd rather beat the DJW5K than finish green. I'd almost rather lose less than the market than win less. It all makes sense to me!
I picked up another one towards the end of trading - another little guy, HIMX.
Given the price and volume action lately, I'll put a tightish stop at about 5.40 or 5.50. This is not a perfect chart, but I like to gamble on these little guys, so there it is.
I've updated the current portfolio in the right margin. I don't keep weekly stats, so I don't know what the value change to my portfolio was, but it was positive. I need to decide what sort of information I am going to disclose here. I think I'll start a running monthly average/12-month return. I don't think I want to get into weekly returns like a lot of bloggers do. It just seems so meaningless. We'll see. Plus, I don't have much time to devote to the blog. I have to earn my food outside my house, and I have a very long commute. Once the kids are down for the night, there just isn't much time left.
I would like to do a better job of keeping tabs on what I own and why. The biggest reason for doing this is so I can look back later and see what I was thinking, what worked, what didn't, etc. Plus, it is fun to go back and look through history. I like going through all my old poker blog posts on occasion. I mostly laugh at myself how stupid I was at the beginning. What a mental game that is. Also reminds me me how soft the games were a few years ago.
I wish I would have posted more in my flying blog. I'm not flying much at all these days, so I don't update it. I wish I would have had that blog up while I was going through flight training. I have a bad memory, so I know I've lost a lot of that time. At least I wrote up a few of the more important flights.
