Welcome

So I decided to start this blog because I wanted to track my ideas about the US markets and my picks through time publicly. All my trading ideas are controlled by the fact that I invest using a cash account, therefore settlement dates schedule my trading frequency.

My current positions                                                       (unrealized gain and (loss) by security):
Cash                                                  28% of account
SPRINT NEXTEL CORP                25% of account        +5.8%
W W GRAINGER INCORP            19% of account        (1.24)
MOSAIC CO                                     11% of account        (12.82)
DOW CHEMICAL CO                      9% of account         +26.32
VANG FTSE ALL WRLD EX US     8% of account         +2.73%

Most Profitable Pick of 2010:
PRICELINE COM INC                                 +60.28% (additional upside since sale +15%)
