january tally

how did i do in january? so far, i'm down like $80 because of my fucking penny stocks, dammit. let this be a lesson to me...and to you. i'm down 50% on IVOT (why i bought that, i don't know...but i only put like $90 into it, so i don't really give a damn) and i'm down like 33% on TCLT but i still like it. i honestly think i'll be able to sell this well above where i bought it..maybe even at $1 so i can pay off my car. by the way, did i tell you? i picked up another 3,125 shares of this so that i'll have $13,125.00 when it goes to a dollar, which is roughly what i owe on my car, which i bought in may, 2007. so it might not go that high...well whatever. i think it'll go higher than my 10,000-share purchase at $0.024 and my 1325-share purchase at 0.016. that is....it better. :)

so far, i'm right about ameritrade, AMTD. then again, i could have chosen any financial stock, for the most part, and i would have come out ahead...especially e*trade, ETFC...tho i think it'll get bought out after all this super bowl advertising madness. i mean, let's face it...you know they just spent all of the debt they could possibly accumulate on that super bowl ad and they know it's not going to do SHIT for the company. it's like they're just pissing money away. they should either be bought out way low, like countrywide was going to be, or they should just fold and call it quits. plz n ty. though i could have made money with this stock...and a lot of it...i don't want to own this tragic, tragic mess of a company, thank you very much.

i got cold feet and sold my whopping three shares of chipotle, CMG because i'm a fuckin idiot. i thought with the price of whole foods going up, CMG's future earnings might come down a bit. i only ended up down like $10 overall, so it's not the end of the world or anything. plus, i could be right about this...but i still love the company, so i kinda still want in. even if i'm right.

fuckin microsoft, MSFT, why are you trying to spend everything you made on your xboxes to buy this piss and shit yahoo? you and everyone else knows it won't give you any edge against google. you're just not cool enough. you brought me down like $20. i'm glad i didn't put more into you. if this works out and you come back up, then forget what i said. you're a good little stock.

speaking of which, i almost bought a singular share of google, GOOG,at around 570 or so (i think it was) on thursday midday. thank god i went on that shopping spree earlier and voted against it because i used up all my 10 free trades in january and i didn't want to be too tech heavy - because it went snorkeling the next day. it's still underwater. if you've seen google, will you tell it to come out of there? he'll get pruney fingers.

tj maxx, TJX, is doing well. i picked up a few shares of phillips-van heusen, PVH, because i like calvin klein underwear. it's just so comfy. it's making me a few bucks, so why not.

i'm up on boeing, BA, and that's to be expected. i bought in around 79. i have a feeling that, if all goes well, the market will be very kind to this stock especially. it should be trading at least 20 dollars higher than it is.

which brings me to my largest holding, my golden child, my baby, gamestop, GME. why do i love this stock so much? i just love the store. i love my video games, but i'm too afraid of the ever-so-wishy-washy sony, SNE, and i think microsoft, MSFT, is too diluted to be called a video game stock, and i can't buy square enix , SQNXF because...well i don't know why, but i can't buy it on scottrade or zecco...even tho i want to. anyway, this stock is up more than all my other stocks. i expect it to reach back up to 62 and then push through to 75 or 80 if all looks good. i bought in around 49, so i would appreciate the healthy profit.

though i'm happy with the stocks i have chosen, i feel like i own too many different stocks. i know i'm not properly diversified. i don't own any oil in this portfolio because i have a large chunk of my roth ira and 401(k) in FNARX and FSESX, among other things. i like retail and financials right now...for this portfolio. an insane part of me wants to sell out some GME and MSFT and buy something really retarded like intel or tata motors. i just might do it...but i'll probably just be chicken shit and sit on the sidelines while i watch it go up and up. pooooooooo.
