January 10th Update

Amazon turned out to be a success, made a nice little profit. Bought the stock at $44.98 back on November 16th, and now sold it a couple days ago at $48.50 for a 7.8% profit. Glad I got out of it at the right time, as it went down to $45.65 today.

Activision is looking to make a comeback, did great today after a bad market day. Some new Xbox 360 games are coming soon, so look out for a great increase.

Central European Exchange is doing just what it's always doing.. Fluctuating up and down, it stays around the upper 30's to higher 40's, and repeats. Today it went down $2, to $45.52. After it goes down a little more I'm on it.

Aswell, my brother was right on Best Buy, made a great rise the day after he called it that night. Good job! His next big pick is Ameritrade, dividend coming up.

Thanks for all those reading.

Back To Blog

Sorry all you frequent visitors ;-)
But I haven't been updating my blog recently, mainly because of school and other sites I'm working on. And not jut that, but stocks were loosing me a whole lota money.

So from my latest post in november we see...

Nortel - $3.01
Activision - $14.71
Amazon - $48.06

And for today's we see. Not much change eh?

Nortel - $3.31
Activision - $14.22
Amazon - $47.64

Am I happy?? Yes, because most of my shares are in nortel and that was a stock I was worried about for a longer time.

Amazon was up above $49 when I was wanting to sell.. But I didn't after X-mas. The Santa Claus Ralley was suppost to occur, and I thougt it'd jack up amazons stock price. I was wrong, it went down. Now after all this talk about the online retail sector with all its competition, I'm struggling to decide whether $47.64 is a good price to sell at? HELP!

Today my brother's giving me prediction "Best Buy (BBY) is going up today.. u watch.." Now coming from a guy who owns Cendant and Wallmart, we'll see. I don't know if he's trying to loose money, or make it? Well we'll see.

An insight of myne, is last year I owned Central European Exchange (CEE). It's a very flimsy stock, going up and down and up and down.. Next time it goes down to $40-42, I'm going to do a buy and within a couple days it should spring back up to $46 on good trading days. I've looked at it for a while, it could make you a lota money.

Can't wait to sell a couple of these stocks to get newer ones. Till my next post!
