I'm Back! Friday 12/3

Hope everyone had a nice Holiday.
I've been out of town. Here's how I've been doing...

I took a rest after my last post and spent the week regreting selling those lots of SIRI as they started to climb again. So, on 11/30, after my trades cleared, I decided to Invest again in SIRI and bought 300 shares. I also bought 25 shares of PACT.

Here's how I did Today (And since purchase);

IES - up 14.53% to $4.10 (up 42.86% since purchase)
SIRI - up 3.99% to $7.55 (up 16.33% since purchase)
PACT - up 21.67 % to $12.045 (up 1.22% since purchase)
ARGFX - dn .06% to $52.62 (dn .45% since purchase)

Against other averages;
DJIA - up .07%
NAS - up .20%
S&P - up .07%
Me - up 10.03% Woo Hoo!


My Investments are now up 14.71% to date.

Very nice change from my last post two weeks ago. I gained over 14% in those two weeks.

IES is up on news of a sale of one of its businesses. Its been going great.
PACT did real nice Today. It had been going down on me.
SIRI is still growing strong. I should have held on to my first lots of this.
ARGFX is lagging bad. What happened to those high averages? I have almost 1/2 of my assets in this one and I'm not happy with its performance. I'm thinking about eating that withdrawl fee to get out and move it to stocks. My stock account is up 27.35% to date while ARGFX Fund is down .45%.

Lets hope next week is just as nice!

Have a great Weekend!
