January 12, 2011

I like to think of my portfolio as a garden. First, I plant seeds by picking stocks. Then, I water and feed it by adding money every week. I pull weeds by getting rid of any losing stocks. Finally, I harvest by taking profits. I'm not looking to get rich. I'm just doing my due diligence.

Position update. Figures are around 2:00 today.
