Weekly Investing Report 3/09/09

March 9th, 2009 | No Comments | Filed in Investing

Last week was a very busy one, bought some shares and now I have to wait and see what happens with my newest investments. I also had to transfer $5 dollars into my account because my money balance was showing a -$2.72 and this is what I don’t get. When I placed the order for Citigroup (C) shares why wasn’t there a prompt telling me that I didn’t have enough money to place the order?, I don’t know the answer to that. Anyway, my account was down $107.50 for the week, I have not taken into account the $5 dollar transfer.

I had two trades last week.

I also transferred $5 dollars into my account.

My investments, 20 Apple (AAPL) shares, 50 Dow Chemical Co (DOW) shares, 100 Allied Irish Banks PLC (AIB) shares and 400 Citigroup (C) shares.

Total Money Balance $     -2.72
Investment Value $2,562.50
Total Account Value $2,559.78

Domain Name Search

If you are a reader of this blog then you know that one of my dreams is to have my own business one day and be my own boss. I have written about my plans and even though I have not written anything about them in a while let me tell you that I have not forgotten. I just never seem to be able to take that next step, if it isn’t one thing it’s another. I am not making excuses, believe me, that is just the way things are sometimes. Something that should be simple to do is to search for some domain names, I have a couple of somewhat unique names and if they are available I want to get them. I know this is just a small step but it’s one that I should have taken long ago if I am really serious about starting my own business.
